What an assessment for MEA345 must cover
40 assessable components: 4 elements (12 performance criteria), 17 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 flight
- 1.1Aircraft is positioned as required
- 1.2Ground locks, aircraft support and safety devices and covers are removed and stowed in accordance with maintenance documentation
- 1.3Aircraft tie-down devices are removed and stowed/stored
2 Inspect aircraft and systems
- 2.1Preparation of the aircraft and systems is appropriate to allow for proper inspection
- 2.2Aircraft and systems are visually or physically checked for external signs of defects in accordance with applicable maintenance documentation 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)
3 Replenish aircraft systems
- 3.1Fluid level checks and replenishments are carried out in accordance with maintenance documentation requirements
- 3.2Maintenance of gaseous levels (oxygen, nitrogen and compressed air) is carried out in accordance with maintenance documentation requirements while observing all relevant WHS requirements, including the use of MSDS and items of PPE
- 3.3Role equipment/components requiring pre-flight replacement are changed as required by maintenance documentation
- 3.4Required maintenance documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures
4 Perform scheduled line maintenance checks
- 4.1Inspection requirements are determined from maintenance documentation
- 4.2Aircraft structure and systems are visually inspected for external signs of defects in accordance with applicable maintenance documentation while observing all relevant WHS requirements, including the use of MSDS and items of PPE
- 4.3Defects are recorded and reported in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

Questions about assessing MEA345
What does an assessment tool for MEA345 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA345 needs to address all 40 unit components: 4 elements with 12 performance criteria, 17 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 MEA345?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEA345 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 MEA345 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEA345 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 MEA345, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
