What an assessment for MEA226 must cover

67 assessable components: 1 element (3 performance criteria), 32 performance evidence and 32 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Inspect electronic systems and components

  • 1.1Isolation tags are checked and aircraft configured for safe system inspection and operation in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual
  • 1.2Electronic system components are visually or physically checked for external signs of defects in accordance with applicable maintenance manual while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements
  • 1.3Defects are correctly identified and recorded in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

Performance evidence

  • applying relevant WHS practices
  • using approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to the avionic system being maintained
  • recognition of system and component defects/external damage, correct installation, connection of plugs, terminations, and attaching hardware (including cabling/harnesses) and security in:
  • multi-function display systems (interface units, display generators and display units), i.e. HUD, EICAS, FMS, ACARS, EFIS and ECAM
  • integrated modular avionics (where applicable to the enterprise)
  • INS and IRS
  • external communications systems:
  • HF
  • UHF
  • VHF
  • SATCOM
  • ELT
  • internal communications systems:
  • intercommunication
  • cabin intercommunication data systems
  • cabin network services
  • CVR
  • information systems, such as air traffic and information management systems, and network server systems (where applicable to the enterprise)
  • RF navigation systems:
  • ILS
  • VOR
  • ADF
  • GNS
  • pulse systems that are applicable to the enterprise, including:
  • primary radar (navigation/weather) components and interface
  • ACAS components and interface
  • radio altimeter components and interface
  • DME components and interface
  • ATC transponders
  • ADS-B
  • It is essential that inspection procedures, cleanliness requirements and safety precautions applicable to the electrical system being maintained are fully observed, understood and complied with. Ability to interpret inspection procedures and specifications (allowable limits) and apply them in practice (including the timely involvement of supervisors or other trades) is critical.
  • Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to inspection is essential. This is to be demonstrated through application across a range of electronic systems and components listed in the Assessment Conditions.

Knowledge evidence

  • component attachment methods and connection of hardware
  • the basic layout (block diagram level) and operation of:
  • multi-function display systems (interface units, display generators and display units), i.e. HUD, ICAS, FMS, ACARS, EFIS and ECAM
  • integrated modular avionics
  • INS and IRS
  • external communications systems:
  • HF
  • UHF
  • VHF
  • SATCOM
  • ELT
  • internal communications systems:
  • intercommunication
  • cabin intercommunication data systems
  • cabin network services
  • CVR
  • information systems, such as air traffic and information management systems, and network server systems
  • RF navigation systems:
  • ILS
  • VOR
  • ADF
  • GNS
  • primary radar (navigation/weather) components and interface
  • ACAS components and interface
  • radio altimeter components and interface
  • DME components and interface
  • ATC transponders
  • ADS-B.
  • relevant WHS practices
  • maintenance requirements
  • relevant maintenance manuals
  • relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.

Questions about assessing MEA226

What does an assessment tool for MEA226 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA226 needs to address all 67 unit components: 1 element with 3 performance criteria, 32 performance evidence requirements, 32 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEA226?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEA226 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEA226 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEA226 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEA226, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
