What an assessment for MEA398 must cover

18 assessable components: 4 elements (14 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 1 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 Remove hydro-mechanical system components

  • 1.1Render hydro-mechanical system safe and prepared according to applicable maintenance manual, including fitting isolation tags where necessary to ensure personal safety
  • 1.2Remove hydro-mechanical components according to applicable maintenance manual and work health and safety (WHS) requirements
  • 1.3Complete and process required maintenance documentation
  • 1.4Tag, seal, and package removed components according to specified procedures

2 Remove landing gear components

  • 2.1Jack aircraft as specified in maintenance manual for landing gear component removal
  • 2.2Remove components according to applicable maintenance manual and WHS requirements
  • 2.3Complete and process required maintenance documentation
  • 2.4Tag, seal, and package removed components according to specified procedures

3 Install hydro-mechanical system components

  • 3.1Check components to be installed to confirm correct part numbers, serviceability, and modification status
  • 3.2Install components according to applicable maintenance manual and WHS requirements
  • 3.3Complete and process required maintenance documentation according to standard organisational procedures

4 Install landing gear components

  • 4.1Check components to be installed to confirm correct part numbers, serviceability, and modification status
  • 4.2Install components according to applicable maintenance manual and WHS requirements
  • 4.3Complete and process required maintenance documentation according to standard organisational procedures

Performance evidence

  • under routine supervision, remove and install components from each of the following systems: hydraulic system, including preparing the system for safe component removal and replacement; fuel system, including preparing the system for safe component removal and replacement; landing gear system.
  • The above removal and installation work may be on fixed or rotary wing aircraft and may be performed during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, but must include: at least one of the following hydraulic system components: hydraulic accumulators, filters, reservoirs, valves, pumps, motors, actuators, regulators and direct reading gauges; rigid and flexible pipelines, hoses and fittings; at least one of the following fuel system components: fuel system filters, valves, pumps, rigid and flexible storage cells/tanks; rigid and flexible pipelines, hoses and fittings; each of the following landing gear components, noting that coverage of brakes and struts/oleos is not required where the aircraft is rotary wing and is fitted with skids or floats: wheel assemblies or skids; brake units; struts/oleos.
  • In the course of the above work, the candidate must: use hand skills and tools to remove and install hydraulic and fuel system components; jack the aircraft as required for landing gear component removal and installation; correctly install and secure aircraft hardware; use hand skills and tools to remove and install landing gear components and use safe handling techniques with heavy components; use maintenance manuals to prepare the aircraft for component removal and installation and for correct interpretation of removal and installation instructions; use attachment methods, connection hardware and couplings particular to each type of system; apply standard industry and organisational procedures; observe all required work health and safety (WHS) procedures, including the use of safety data sheets (SDS) and required items of personal protective equipment (PPE); comply with cleanliness requirements and safety precautions applicable to system being maintained.

Knowledge evidence

  • industry, regulatory, manufacturer and organisational requirements, procedures, practices and methods required for the tasks described in the performance evidence, including: WHS requirements relating to removing and installing hydro-mechanical and landing gear system components, including: use of SDS and items of PPE; handling aircraft fuels and associated precautions; procedures for: locating and correctly removing and installing components of hydraulic systems; locating and correctly removing and installing fuel system components; isolating electrical circuits and removing and installing plugs; jacking the aircraft for landing gear component removal and installation; locating and correctly removing and installing landing gear components, including handling heavy components; obtaining SDS; selecting and using items of PPE; tagging, sealing, and packaging removed components; completing and processing maintenance documentation; maintenance manual requirements relating to: rendering systems safe; removing and installing components; standard trade practices relating to tool use and installation/securing of aircraft hardware; key characteristics of hydraulic fluids (mineral and synthetic) and associated handling precautions; hydraulic seal types and applications; fuel seal types and applications.

Questions about assessing MEA398

What does an assessment tool for MEA398 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA398 needs to address all 18 unit components: 4 elements with 14 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 1 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 MEA398?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEA398 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 MEA398 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEA398 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 MEA398, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
