DESCRIPTION OF UNIT

This unit aims to provide learners with the key knowledge required to work in the aerospace engineering sector and will provide opportunities to practice these skills in a safe aircraft workshop environment. It’s been designed to provide some of the knowledge required for learners wishing to progress on to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 66 licensing requirements. It will also benefit those seeking employment within the armed forces or the aircraft manufacturing industry.

OUTCOME 1.

Learning Outcomes (Grading Criteria)		Required Evidence
P1	Describe the different procedures to be followed in the event of a workshop fire, an electric shock to a human operator and a chemical spillage.	A written description of the action you would take in the event that you came across the following: A fire in the workshop. A work colleague suffering from electric shock. A chemical spillage in the workshop.
P2	Explain the precautions that must be observed for the control, care and use of tools needed for two different workshop fitting activities.	A written explanation of the precautions which need to be observed for the control, care and use of tools needed for:- 1.      Wheel removal and fitting on the Cessna 150. 2.      Flight controls removal and fitting on the Cessna 150.
M2	Use appropriate precision measurement or test equipment on a mechanical or electrical assembly to establish whether dimensional accuracy or output characteristics conform to laid down aircraft industry standards.	Read and record the four main flight control operating travel. (To achieve the M2 grade accuracy is required to be ± 1 degree).

SCENARIO:

You work for a large company in an aircraft hangar/workshop where all types of cutting, welding, assembling and dismantling and testing takes place.

TASK:

1.      Write clearly the action you would take in the event that you came across the following:  

·         A fire in the workshop.

·         A work colleague suffering from an electric shock.

·         A chemical spillage in the workshop. (P1)

2.      Write an explanation of the precautions which need to be observed for the control, care and use of tools needed for the following workshop activities:-

·         Wheel removal and fitting on the Cessna 150.

·         Flight controls removal and fitting on the Cessna 150. (P2)

3.      Using the appropriate precision measuring equipment read and records the four main flight control operating travel.  

Health and safety precautions must be strictly adhered to during this exercise. (M2)

NOTE:- Check that work produced meets the REQUIRED EVIDENCE.
