What an assessment for MEAMEC0058 must cover

51 assessable components: 2 elements (10 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 21 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 Prepare to undertake repair or modification

  • 1.1Identify modification or repair scheme in accordance with structural repair manual or approved data
  • 1.2Obtain specialist advice in establishing an approved modification or repair scheme where a standard scheme cannot be identified or where damage is beyond specified limits
  • 1.3Organise all materials and equipment required
  • 1.4Support and prepare structure in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual to ensure personnel safety and freedom from damage
  • 1.5Use jigs, fixtures or bracing, when required, to maintain shape or alignment

2 Repair or modify aircraft structure

  • 2.1Perform structural repairs or modifications, in accordance with approved repair scheme or modification drawings and instructions, ensuring that aircraft standard practices are used and process requirements are carried out while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including the use of material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and items of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • 2.2Clean work area of all waste material or contaminants
  • 2.3Complete required mensuration or alignment checks and adjust components, when required, to operate within prescribed specifications
  • 2.4Tag, seal and pack or cradle repaired components or assemblies in accordance with specified procedures, when required
  • 2.5Complete required maintenance documentation and process in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

Performance evidence

  • perform major modifications and repairs to small aircraft metal structure on at least one of the following tasks:
  • removing and installing structural hardware and fastening devices
  • repairing by replacing major load-carrying structural members (any of skins, longerons, spars, frames and bulkheads)
  • identify assembly stress defects during alignment or testing, including at least one of:
  • oil canning
  • buckling
  • contour misalignment
  • identify aircraft structural assembly fasteners by interpretation of markings, numbering systems, size, shape and colour to inform selection of modification or repair scheme
  • interpret and/or produce repair scheme or modification drawings, including third angle projection, isometric, sectional formats and hand sketches
  • use appropriate hand tools and machines to remove and assemble aircraft structural components, parts, sections and skin, including riveting equipment, drilling equipment, aligning tools and material fasteners (grip pins)
  • apply correct removal, installation and repair techniques for:
  • at least five rivets blind and solid, standard and oversize, including three different diameters
  • at least five close tolerance fasteners (standard and oversize – hillocks or taper locks), including hole preparation
  • at least two threaded devices, including internal and external thread cutting, and including Helicoil inserts and damaged stud replacement
  • hardware assembled by close tolerance fits using heat, cooling and force methods, including bearings, bushes and inserts on at least two occasions.
  • support the aircraft structure by jacking, trestling and jigging methods
  • perform mensuration checks after structure reassembly.

Knowledge evidence

  • aircraft construction principles and structural component attachment methods for primary structure:
  • fuselage
  • wings and attachment fittings
  • horizontal and vertical stabilisers and attachment fittings
  • pylons and attachment fittings
  • flight control surfaces
  • engine mounts and nacelles and attachment fittings
  • undercarriage attachments
  • procedures for replacement of primary structure components, including:
  • fuselage frames and longerons
  • wing spars or spar caps
  • wing-to-fuselage attachment fittings
  • tailplane attachment fittings
  • undercarriage attachment fittings
  • aircraft mensuration checks and methodology – when required
  • repair of integral fuel tanks and sealing of faying surfaces, including specific work health and safety (WHS) and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements
  • surface finishes and methods of restoration
  • how to obtain material safety data sheets (MSDSs)
  • structural flight loads and aerodynamic requirements
  • relevant maintenance and structural repair manuals and modification data
  • relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.

Foundation skills

  • Reading skills: to interpret maintenance documentation and procedures.
  • Writing skills: to complete maintenance documentation.
  • Numeracy skills: to interpret and communicate technical information including sketches/drawings.

Questions about assessing MEAMEC0058

What does an assessment tool for MEAMEC0058 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEAMEC0058 needs to address all 51 unit components: 2 elements with 10 performance criteria, 17 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 MEAMEC0058?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEAMEC0058 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 MEAMEC0058 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEAMEC0058 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 MEAMEC0058, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
