What an assessment for MEAAVI0049 must cover

32 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. 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 FADEC systems and components

  • 1.1Identify specific inspection requirements using maintenance documentation and modification status, including relevant system defect reports
  • 1.2Check isolation tags and configure aircraft for safe system inspection and operation in accordance with maintenance manual
  • 1.3Visually or physically check FADEC system for external signs of defects in accordance with maintenance manual while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements
  • 1.4Identify and report defects in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

2 Test FADEC systems

  • 2.1Prepare aircraft and system for application of power or system operation in accordance with maintenance manual
  • 2.2Perform functional testing on FADEC system for evidence of serviceability or malfunction in accordance with maintenance manual

3 Troubleshoot FADEC systems

  • 3.1Use available information from maintenance documentation and inspection and test results to assist in fault determination of identified faults
  • 3.2Troubleshoot FADEC systems to line replacement level using maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides and logic processes, test sets, downloaded maintenance data and fault-finding charts or similar
  • 3.3Obtain required specialist or supervisory advice to assist with the troubleshooting process
  • 3.4Locate FADEC system faults and identify and record causes of faults in required maintenance documentation in accordance with standard enterprise procedures
  • 3.5Determine requirements for rectification of faults

Performance evidence

  • perform inspection, testing and troubleshooting on full authority digital engine control systems during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance on the following full authority digital engine control (FADEC) systems and system components: computers, sensors, interfaces, cockpit controls, data cables, wiring looms that comprise the electronic control system
  • use test sets to download maintenance data from the FADEC system and interpret the data for the systems and components being maintained
  • identify or locate airframe and engine, including propeller- or rotor-mounted FADEC system components for the systems and components being maintained
  • recognise system and component defects, external damage, correct/incorrect installation, connection of plugs, terminations, attachment hardware (including cabling/harnesses) and security in airframe and engine- mounted FADEC system components for the systems and components being maintained
  • perform function testing by applying logic processes, using test equipment and appropriate wiring diagrams and manuals to isolate FADEC system malfunctions and used built-in test features to confirm post-maintenance serviceability
  • apply testing procedures, cleanliness requirements and safety precautions at all times, and as relevant to the system/s being maintained, including safe handling of electrostatic sensitive devices.

Knowledge evidence

  • component attachment methods
  • connection of hardware and plugs
  • digital electronic theory
  • open and closed loop control
  • the basic layout (block diagram level), function and operation of FADEC systems
  • architecture of FADEC system computers, software and software management
  • operation of sensors that input data to FADEC system computers
  • built-in test system operation and downloading and interpretation of system data
  • work health and safety (WHS) requirements for FADEC systems
  • relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures, including software management control
  • maintenance requirements and troubleshooting procedures
  • maintenance manuals for FADEC systems.

Foundation skills

  • Reading skills: to interpret maintenance manuals, inspection procedures and specifications (allowable limits).
  • Writing skills: to record and report on defects and faults and their causes.
  • Numeracy skills: to interpret and communicate technical information, take and interpret system measurements and readings, and interpret data from test sets.

Questions about assessing MEAAVI0049

What does an assessment tool for MEAAVI0049 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEAAVI0049 needs to address all 32 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 MEAAVI0049?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEAAVI0049 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 MEAAVI0049 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEAAVI0049 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 MEAAVI0049, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
