What an assessment for MEA320 must cover

37 assessable components: 3 elements (9 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 20 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 Prepare for troubleshooting

  • 1.1Relevant maintenance documentation and modification status, including system defect/service difficulty reports, where relevant, are interpreted to identify an unserviceability

2 Test hydro-mechanical, mechanical, gaseous and landing gear systems and components

  • 2.1The aircraft and hydro-mechanical, mechanical, gaseous and landing gear systems are correctly prepared in accordance with specified procedures for the application of power
  • 2.2Power is applied and system and components functionally tested in accordance with specified procedures for evidence of malfunction or leaks while applying all relevant work health and safety (WHS) procedures
  • 2.3System calibration or adjustments are performed in accordance with specified procedures

3 Troubleshoot hydro-mechanical, mechanical, gaseous and landing gear systems and components

  • 3.1Available information from maintenance documentation and inspection and test results is used, where necessary, to assist in fault determination
  • 3.2Maintenance manual fault diagnosis guide and logical processes are used to ensure efficient and accurate troubleshooting to line replacement level
  • 3.3Specialist advice is obtained, where required, to assist with the troubleshooting process
  • 3.4Hydro-mechanical, mechanical, gaseous and landing gear system and component faults are located and the causes of the faults are clearly identified and correctly recorded in maintenance documentation, where required
  • 3.5Fault rectification requirements are determined to assist in planning the repair or adjustment

Performance evidence

  • applying all relevant WHS procedures
  • using maintenance manuals to prepare the aircraft for testing and troubleshooting of hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, landing gear and mechanical systems and components
  • using hand skills, tools and systems knowledge in the testing, adjustment and troubleshooting of hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, mechanical and landing gear systems
  • using hand skills, tools and component knowledge in the adjustment and troubleshooting of hydraulic, fuel, gaseous and mechanical system components
  • jacking of the aircraft, as required, for landing gear system testing, rigging and troubleshooting
  • using hand skills, tools and system/component knowledge in the adjustment and troubleshooting of landing gear components
  • effectively using maintenance documentation and relevant fault diagnosis guides in the troubleshooting process
  • recognising external defects in hydro-mechanical, gaseous, mechanical and landing gear systems and components

Knowledge evidence

  • hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, mechanical and landing gear system layout, operation and characteristics and system component operation and construction, including electrical system interfaces
  • how to configure the aircraft for testing and troubleshooting of hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, mechanical and landing gear systems and components
  • standard trade practices relating to tool usage and installation/securing of aircraft hardware
  • fluid power theory
  • hydraulic system layout, operation and characteristics (including electrical and instrument system interfaces) and system component construction and operation for:
  • landing gear retraction systems
  • brake and anti-skid systems
  • nose wheel steering systems
  • fuel system and component layout, operation and characteristics (including electrical system interfaces) and system component operation and construction
  • gaseous (pneumatic, air conditioning, pressurisation and fire-extinguishing system and component layout, operation and characteristics (including electrical and instrument interfaces) and system component operation and construction
  • construction and operation of landing gear components, including:
  • wheel assemblies
  • struts/oleos
  • uplocks and downlocks
  • mechanical systems and linkages, including those related to the above systems
  • how to configure the aircraft for inspection, testing and troubleshooting of hydraulic, fuel, gaseous and landing gear systems and components
  • maintenance requirements and troubleshooting procedures
  • relevant WHS practices relating to hydraulic, fuel, gaseous, mechanical and landing gear systems and components, including lifting and handling of heavy items
  • relevant maintenance manuals
  • relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures

Questions about assessing MEA320

What does an assessment tool for MEA320 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA320 needs to address all 37 unit components: 3 elements with 9 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 20 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 MEA320?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEA320 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 MEA320 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEA320 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 MEA320, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
