(a) Performance Evidence

          Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy allof the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:

          applying relevant WHS practices

          using relevant maintenance documentation and aircraft manuals to:

          remove flight control surfaces

          check the mass balance of control surfaces, where required

          install flight control surfaces

          remove power flight control system components

          install power flight control system components

          remove mechanical flight control system components

          install mechanical flight control system components.

          It is essential that safety precautions applicable to the fixed wing flight control system being maintained are fully observed, understood and complied with (especially flight control systeminter-relationships with other systems where applicable). An awareness of dual inspectionrequirements associated with work on flight controls and systems must also be demonstrated.Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation isessential. This may be demonstrated through removal and installation of a representativerange of the fixed wing flight control system components listed in the Assessment Conditions.

(b) Knowledge Evidence

          Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy allof the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

          flight control surface and system component attachment methods

          connection hardware and couplings

          electrical circuit isolation and plug removal and installation

          requirements for balancing of control surfaces

          flight control system rigging requirements

          requirements for independent inspection of work performed on flight control systems and components

          relevant WHS practices

          relevant maintenance manuals

          relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.

          This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

          Flight control system components include:

          Ailerons, elevators, rudders, trim tabs, speed brakes, spoilers, flaps and slats

          Actuators – mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electric

          Mechanical flight control components (cables, pulleys, guides, fairleads, tension regulators, control rods, bellcranks, torque tubes, chains, sprockets, control sticks,

          wheels or columns, trim wheels or handles, rudder pedals)

          Procedures and requirements include:

          Industry standard procedures specified by manufacturers, regulatory authorities or the enterprise.

          • The assessment are composed of paper exams , interviews, and practical demonstrations, which the paper exam is the main testing. The selection of interviews and practical demonstrations are depending on the assessors’ judgment.

          • Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environmentusing tools and equipment specified in maintenance manuals. It is also expected thatgeneral-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine situationswould be used where appropriate.

          • An understanding of component attachment methods and the need for adjustment orrigging and system operation as it relates to the work must be demonstrated beforeundertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety andquality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.

• A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfactionof the workplace assessor that the relevant elements and performance criteria of the unit ofcompetency are being achieved under routine supervision on at least one (1) item from each of the following component groups:

          ailerons, elevators, rudders, trim tabs, speed brakes, spoilers, flaps and slatsactuators – mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electricmechanical flight control components (cables, pulleys, guides, fairleads, tensionregulators, control rods, bellcranks, torque tubes, chains, sprockets, control sticks,wheels or columns, trim wheels or handles, rudder pedals).

          • This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and

          Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide (for details refer to the Companion Volume Assessment Guidelines).
