What an assessment for MEA308 must cover

36 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 10 performance evidence and 8 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 Remove rotary wing rotor

  • 1.1System is rendered safe and prepared in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices
  • 1.2Isolation and warning signs are installed/fitted to ensure personnel safety
  • 1.3Rotary wing rotor removal is carried out in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements
  • 1.4Required aircraft maintenance documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures
  • 1.5Removed components are labelled, sealed and packaged in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices

2 Remove rotary wing flight control system components

  • 2.1System is rendered safe and prepared in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices
  • 2.2Isolation and warning signs are installed/fitted to ensure personnel safety
  • 2.3Rotary wing flight control system component removal is carried out in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices while observing all relevant WHS requirements
  • 2.4Required aircraft maintenance documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures
  • 2.5Removed components are labelled, sealed and packaged in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practice

3 Install rotary wing rotor

  • 3.1Rotor to be installed is checked to confirm correct part or model numbers, modification status and serviceability
  • 3.2Mass balance of rotor blades/head is checked in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices
  • 3.3Installation is carried out in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices while observing all relevant WHS requirements
  • 3.4Support/safety equipment is removed at the appropriate time to ensure personnel safety and freedom from structural damage

4 Install rotary wing flight control system components

  • 4.1Rotary wing flight control system components to be installed are checked to confirm correct part or model numbers, modification status and serviceability
  • 4.2Installation is carried out in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices while observing all relevant WHS requirements
  • 4.3Support/safety equipment is removed at the appropriate time to ensure personnel safety and freedom from structural damage
  • 4.4Required aircraft maintenance documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

Performance evidence

  • applying relevant WHS practices, including lifting and handling heavy components
  • using relevant maintenance documentation and aircraft manuals to: correctly remove and install main rotors and rotor heads
  • check the mass balance of rotor blades and heads
  • correctly remove and install tail rotor blades and pitch control assemblies
  • locate and correctly remove and install mechanical flight control system components
  • locate and correctly remove and install drive train components, such as gearboxes and drive shafts and couplings
  • identify the requirements for component balancing
  • identifying the requirements for adjustment and rigging of systems after component removal and installation
  • It is essential that safety precautions applicable to the rotary wing rotor and flight control system components being maintained, including allowance for the effect on weight and balance (i.e. centre of gravity) when heavy components are removed, are fully observed, understood and complied with.
  • Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation is essential. This may be demonstrated through removal and installation of a representative range of the rotary wing rotor and flight control system components as listed in the Assessment Conditions.

Knowledge evidence

  • component attachment methods
  • removal and installation procedures for: main rotors and rotor blades, rotor heads, tail rotors and tail rotor blades, swash plates, tail rotor pitch control assemblies
  • requirements for the checking and adjustment of blade tracking after rotor maintenance
  • control system layout, linkages and operation (operation only to the extent necessary for the specified tasks), including the requirement for rigging and the independent inspection of work performed
  • power train layout and assembly: main rotor gearboxes, intermediate gearboxes, tail rotor gearboxes, drive shafts, couplings
  • relevant WHS practices, including those relating to lifting and handling of heavy items
  • relevant maintenance manuals
  • relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures

Questions about assessing MEA308

What does an assessment tool for MEA308 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA308 needs to address all 36 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 10 performance evidence requirements, 8 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 MEA308?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEA308 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 MEA308 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEA308 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 MEA308, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
