What an assessment for MEA228 must cover

28 assessable components: 3 elements (9 performance criteria), 8 performance evidence and 11 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/adjust instrument and display systems

2.1The aircraft and systems are correctly prepared in accordance with specified procedures for the application of power and system operation
2.2Instrument or display system is functionally tested in accordance with specified procedures for evidence of serviceability or malfunction while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements
2.3System calibration or adjustments are performed in accordance with specified procedures

3 Troubleshoot instrument and display systems

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 guides and logic 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
3.4Instrument or display system 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

using hand skills, tools and test equipment in the testing, adjustment and troubleshooting of instrument and display systems
recognition of system and component defects/external damage, correct installation, connection of plugs, terminations, and attaching hardware (including cabling/harnesses) for the systems listed in Range of Conditions
interpreting the information presented on instrument and display systems
applying logic processes and using appropriate wiring diagrams and manuals to isolate instrument and display system malfunctions
performing system functional tests and checks to isolate system faults and assess post-maintenance serviceability
effectively using maintenance documentation and relevant fault diagnosis guides in the troubleshooting process
applying standard procedures
observing all relevant WHS procedures

Knowledge evidence

standard trade practices relating to tool and test equipment usage and installation/securing of system components
the basic layout (block diagram level) of the systems listed in the Range of Conditions
the properties and effects of atmospheric conditions on aircraft instruments and systems
pressure and temperature sensing elements and their use in aircraft instruments
gyroscopes and their use in aircraft instrument and reference systems
electrical fundamentals and display screen generation
the various methods of navigation and how they are used by both conventional and electronic navigational instruments and systems
maintenance requirements and troubleshooting procedures
WHS procedures relating to instrument and display systems and components
relevant maintenance manuals
relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures, including software management control

Questions about assessing MEA228

What does an assessment tool for MEA228 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA228 needs to address all 28 unit components: 3 elements with 9 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 MEA228?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEA228 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 MEA228 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEA228 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 MEA228, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
