(a) Performance Evidence

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

          • applying relevant WHS procedures

          • diagnosing faults that are beyond the coverage of maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides in simulated applications in the training environment and/or in the workplace across a representative range of systems and components. The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of inspection, testing and troubleshooting applications related to mechanical systems, and where applicable other system interfaces/integration. It is essential that system test procedures take into account all safety precautions applicable to the system being maintained. Ability to interpret inspection procedures and specifications (allowable limits) and ensure that they are applied in practice is critical, as is the demonstrated ability to apply fundamental system theory in the logical diagnosis of complex faults. Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to performance and supervision of inspection, testing and troubleshooting is essential. This must be demonstrated through application across a number of the applicable systems listed in the Range of Conditions, including system interfaces/integration.

(b) Knowledge Evidence

          For systems and components relevant to the scope of the licence/ratings sought knowledge is required of:

          • theory related to system operation and interfaces between systems and with electrical/electronic control media to a level that will facilitate the diagnosis of faults beyond the level of maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides using reported symptoms and functional test results

          • component construction and theory of operation to a level that will facilitate the diagnosis of faults beyond the level of maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides using reported symptoms and functional test results

          • advanced fault diagnostic techniques

          • condition monitoring and trend analysis techniques.

          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.

          Troubleshooting

          The competency applies to the troubleshooting, from first principles, of defects beyond available maintenance data in the systems of fixed or rotary wing aircraft types. Troubleshooting must be demonstrated across a range of typical systems and system components that includes but is not limited to airframes, their engines and all systems (and parts thereof) operated by inherently mechanical or hydro-mechanical principles or means. Coverage is not required of specific type systems that are included in type training and practical consolidation of training (PCT) activities leading to a specific type licence rating

          Procedures and requirements include:

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

          Applicable systems include:

          Hydro-mechanical systems

          Pneumatic systems

          Flight control systems

          Engines and engine systems

          Propeller and rotor systems

          • 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 is assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace and shall involve successfully dealing with a number of maintenance and fault scenarios across a range of systems listed in the Range of Conditions, and related system components.

          • The troubleshooting approach should clearly demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of underpinning theory of a system, with this knowledge being used in a logical process to augment and extend the scope of the aircraft/ system fault-finding guide. The fault rectification work plan should take account of applicable safety (including safe handling of heavy components) and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.
