What an assessment for MEA322 must cover
24 assessable components: 3 elements (9 performance criteria), 4 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 reports, where relevant, are interpreted to identify an unserviceability
2 Test gas turbine engine system
- 2.1Aircraft and gas turbine engine system are correctly prepared in accordance with applicable maintenance manual and connected to appropriate test equipment while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including the use of material safety data sheets (MSDS) and items of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- 2.2Built- in system test functions and status displays are activated, where applicable, outputs recorded and interpreted
- 2.3Assistance is provided with gas turbine engine and/or system operation during prescribed test procedures to establish serviceability and correct function in accordance with applicable maintenance manual
3 Troubleshoot gas turbine engine system
- 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 guide and logical 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
- 3.4Gas turbine engine system faults are located and 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
- applying relevant WHS procedures, including lifting and handling of heavy components
- using MSDS and PPE
- using relevant maintenance documentation and aircraft manuals to: - recognise through visual/physical inspection external and internal signs of defects in gas turbine engines, components and system components - assist with testing of gas turbine engine and engine system operation, be able to operate systems, monitor indications, record parameters and recognise correct function - compile engine condition monitoring records - rig and adjust engine controls and systems
- using fault diagnosis guides and equivalent data, to accurately and efficiently troubleshoot the causes of unserviceabilities in gas turbine engines and engine systems, clearly record details and identify the required rectification actions.
Knowledge evidence
- fault diagnosis techniques
- gas turbine engine layout and operation: - types of gas turbine - operating principles and power output - gas path - intakes - compressors - combustion chambers - turbines - exhaust - thrust reversers - accessory drives - bearings and seals
- maintenance requirements and troubleshooting procedures
- system and component operation, including electrical and instrument system interfaces: - fuel control and fuels - lubrication and lubricants - air distribution - starting - ignition - power augmentation - instrumentation: - performance indication - condition indication - warning - presentation and interpretation of electronic displays - fire warning and extinguishing - control system and rigging of engine controls
- engine spin/run procedures including the operation of auxiliary power units (APUs)
- engine condition monitoring
- relevant WHS practices, including the requirements for the lifting and handling of heavy components
- how to obtain MSDS
- selection and use of PPE
- relevant maintenance manuals
- relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.

Questions about assessing MEA322
What does an assessment tool for MEA322 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA322 needs to address all 24 unit components: 3 elements with 9 performance criteria, 4 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 MEA322?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEA322 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 MEA322 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEA322 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 MEA322, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
