What an assessment for MEA318 must cover
25 assessable components: 4 elements (8 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 11 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 hydro-mechanical systems and components
- 1.1Isolation tags already attached to the system or related systems are checked and aircraft configured for safe system inspection and operation in accordance with specified procedures
- 1.2Hydro-mechanical system and system components are visually or physically checked for external signs of defects in accordance with specified procedures while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including the use of material safety data sheets (MSDS) and items of personal protective equipment (PPE)
2 Inspect landing gear systems and components
- 2.1Isolation tags already attached to the system or related systems are checked and aircraft configured, including jacking, where necessary, for safe system inspection and operation in accordance with specified procedures
- 2.2Landing gear system and system components are visually or physically checked for external signs of defects in accordance with specified procedures while observing all relevant WHS requirements, including the use of MSDS and items of PPE
3 Inspect gaseous systems and components
- 3.1Isolation tags already attached to the system or related systems are checked and aircraft configured for safe system inspection and operation in accordance with specified procedures
- 3.2Gaseous system and system components are visually or physically checked for external signs of defects in accordance with specified procedures while observing all relevant WHS requirements
4 Inspect mechanical systems and components
- 4.1Isolation tags already attached to the system or related systems are checked and aircraft configured for safe system inspection and operation in accordance with specified procedures
- 4.2Mechanical system and system components are visually or physically checked for external signs of defects in accordance with specified procedures while observing all relevant WHS requirements
Performance evidence
- applying all relevant WHS practices, including the use of MSDS and PPE
- using maintenance manuals and documentation to prepare the aircraft and identify requirements for inspection of hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, flight control, landing gear and mechanical systems and components
- using hand skills and tools in the inspection of hydraulic, fuel, flight control, gaseous and mechanical system components
- jacking of the aircraft, as required, for landing gear system inspection
- using hand skills and tools in the inspection of landing gear components
- recognising external defects in hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, flight control, landing gear and mechanical systems and components
Knowledge evidence
- how to recognise external defects in hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, flight control, landing gear and mechanical system components
- how to configure the aircraft for inspection of hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, flight control, landing gear and mechanical systems and components
- inspection and testing requirements for gears, springs and bearings
- standard trade practices relating to tool usage and installation/securing of aircraft hardware
- maintenance requirements
- relevant WHS practices relating to hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, flight control, landing gear and mechanical system components, including lifting and handling of heavy items
- how to obtain MSDS
- selection and use of PPE
- maintenance requirements
- relevant maintenance manuals
- relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures

Questions about assessing MEA318
What does an assessment tool for MEA318 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA318 needs to address all 25 unit components: 4 elements with 8 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 MEA318?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEA318 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 MEA318 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEA318 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 MEA318, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
