List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. | Set up borescope equipment | 1.1 | Applicable borescope equipment is obtained and assembled for use |
| | 1.2 | Assembled borescope equipment is tested for correct operation |
2. | Perform borescope inspection | 2.1 | Component or engine is prepared for safe borescope inspection in accordance with applicable maintenance data |
| | 2.2 | Borescope inspections are performed in accordance with applicable maintenance data or standard operating procedures |
3. | Record and assess borescope inspection results | 3.1 | Borescope inspection results are recorded and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures for the applicable borescope equipment |
| | 3.2 | Identified defects are recorded and reported in accordance with standard enterprise procedures |
4. | Maintain and re-pack borescope equipment for storage | 4.1 | Borescope equipment is disassembled, maintained and cleaned in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions |
| | 4.2 | Borescope equipment is replaced in transport or storage containers and stored in accordance with standard enterprise procedures |
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:
selecting applicable borescope equipment and assembling it for use
identifying required borescope inspections and required techniques using applicable maintenance data
setting up the applicable system component or engine in accordance with applicable maintenance data for safe borescope inspection
applying borescope inspection techniques to safely perform required inspections without damage to engine components
identifying and correctly assessing and reporting/recording defect indications
maintaining and correctly storing borescope equipment after use.
The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of remote visual inspection applications associated with internal engine components. It is essential that inspection procedures take into account all safety precautions associated with borescope inspection techniques and the applicable engine.
This shall be demonstrated through application across a representative range of borescope inspection tasks that are performed within the enterprise. Ability to interpret inspection procedures and specifications (allowable limits) and apply them in practice is critical.
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
types of borescope and their applications
how to assemble borescope equipment and prepare it for use
use of associated imaging and recording equipment, such as video and digital camera
use of maintenance data to identify borescope inspection requirements
borescope inspection techniques and safety
remote engine rotation equipment
defect assessment techniques
borescope inspection reporting and recording requirements
borescope maintenance and storage requirements.
Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environment using tools and equipment specified in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that general-purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
Demonstrated knowledge of both borescope inspection techniques and of the subject engine will be necessary before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.
The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of the Regulators (ADF and CASA) and maintenance stakeholders and must be rigorously observed.
A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements and performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on a representative range of the borescope inspection tasks performed within the enterprise.
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).
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
Where the unit is to be used for CASA licensing purposes the Assessor must also meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards.
