Elements and Performance Criteria

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Note
The Range Statements below are numbered to facilitate specification of the assessment requirements included in the Evidence Guide
Repairs
Sheetmetal repairs may include:
1. Removing corrosion by chemical and mechanical methods
2. Restoring protective coatings to repaired areas
3. Freehand precision hole generation
4. Removing and installing fastening devices
5. Routine repairs to sheetmetal internal fittings
Non-metallic material repairs may include:
6. Repairs to fibreglass, sandwich honeycomb, nylon, perspex, nomex core materials and matrix resins
7. Restoring protective coatings to repaired areas
8. Freehand precision hole generation
9. Removing and installing fastening devices
Application
Application of this unit may relate to:
scheduled or unscheduled maintenance activities
repair of metallic or non-metallic interior fittings, including interior trim panels (sidewalls, galleys, toilets, roof panels, floor panels), overhead lockers, cargo lining and internal doors that are not part of the aircraft pressure hull
Procedures and requirements
Refer to industry standard procedures specified by manufacturers, regulatory authorities or the enterprise

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply hand skills and use maintenance publications to repair aircraft internal fittings made from sheet metal and non-metallic materials while applying all relevant safety precautions.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other areas that require similar techniques. It is essential that procedures take into account all safety precautions and quality requirements, standards and practices, and processes associated with repair and assembly.
Evidence of knowledge about enterprise procedures relating to basic repair techniques and the use of the standard repair manual/practices in a range of different routine repair situations will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to plan and undertake internal fitting repairs.
A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the unit of competency are being achieved under supervision but without intervention on a representative range of tasks involving Groups 1 to 9 listed in the Range Statement. This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be assessed in the work environment, using tools and equipment specified by aircraft maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
