MEA719 — Evaluate aircraft electrical systems

1 Prepare to evaluate aircraft electrical system

• 1.1Confirm and apply safe electrical working practice
• 1.2Review the effects of electricity on humans and identify dangerous high currents and voltages and regulatory requirements related to extra low, low and high voltage applications and relate these to aircraft electrical system operation and maintenance
• 1.3Determine parameters and context of applications and purpose of evaluation
• 1.4Confirm personal functions and responsibilities, team and support functional group interdependencies and communications
• 1.5Confirm that tasks and responsibilities are appropriate to qualifications and delegations and that appropriate support, including technical and professional assistance, is available
• 1.6Determine chain of responsibility for the activity evaluation, reporting arrangements and timelines
• 1.7Identify work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements with particular emphasis on safety, codes of practice, performance requirements and standards, including airworthiness regulatory requirements for aircraft electrical systems, risk management and organisational procedures

2 Identify principles and techniques required for evaluation of aircraft electrical system

• 2.1Identify features and functions of aircraft electrical AC and DC systems and components
• 2.2Review aircraft electrical system design and layout requirements and techniques
• 2.3Identify system power generation and control requirements
• 2.4Identify electrical distribution system circuit and protection requirements
• 2.5Identify interfaces with aircraft and avionic systems and their power requirements
• 2.6Identify internal and external aircraft lighting requirements

3 Evaluate aircraft electrical system and system components

• 3.1Evaluate proposed modifications to aircraft electrical systems and system components
• 3.2Evaluate aircraft electrical system and system component maintenance requirements
• 3.3Evaluate aircraft electrical system and system component reliability and defect history
• 3.4Evaluate proposed component substitutions
• 3.5Evaluate application for compliance with WHS Acts, regulations, codes, directives and standards/specifications, including those related to risk management

4 Report results

• 4.1Report results of scoping, principles and techniques identification and evaluation of applications
• 4.2Provide documentation, such as system schematics, wiring diagrams and data required by CM and/or ILS, and as required for compliance with airworthiness regulations

What does an assessment tool for MEA719 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA719 needs to address all 39 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 8 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 MEA719?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEA719 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 MEA719 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEA719 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 MEA719, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
