MEA716 — Evaluate avionic analogue systems

1 Prepare to evaluate avionic analogue system

• 1.1Confirm and apply safe electrical working practice
• 1.2Review the effects of electricity on humans and identify dangerous high currents and voltages and regulatory requirements related to extra low, low and high voltage applications and relate these to aircraft radio frequency system operation and maintenance
• 1.3Determine parameters and context of applications and purpose of evaluation
• 1.4Confirm personal functions and responsibilities, team and support functional group interdependencies and communications
• 1.5Confirm that tasks and responsibilities are appropriate to qualifications and delegations and that appropriate support, including technical and professional assistance, is available
• 1.6Determine chain of responsibility for the activity evaluation, reporting arrangements and timelines
• 1.7Identify work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements with particular emphasis on safety, codes of practice, performance requirements and standards, including airworthiness regulatory requirements for avionic systems, risk management and organisational procedures

2 Identify principles and techniques required for evaluation of avionic analogue system and system components

• 2.1Identify features and functions of avionic analogue systems and components
• 2.2Review avionic analogue system design and layout requirements and techniques
• 2.3Identify system power requirements
• 2.4Identify electro-magnetic interference protection requirements

3 Evaluate avionic analogue system and system components

• 3.1Evaluate proposed modifications to avionic analogue systems and components
• 3.2Evaluate avionic analogue system and system component maintenance requirements
• 3.3Evaluate avionic analogue system and system component reliability and defect history
• 3.4Evaluate proposed component and piece part substitution
• 3.5Evaluate application for compliance with WHS Acts, regulations, codes, directives and standards/specifications, including those related to risk management

4 Report results

• 4.1Report results of scoping, principles and techniques identification and evaluation of applications
• 4.2Provide documentation, such as system schematics, wiring diagrams and data required by CM and/or ILS, and for compliance with airworthiness regulations

What does an assessment tool for MEA716 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEA716 needs to address all 50 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 23 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 MEA716?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEA716 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 MEA716 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEA716 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 MEA716, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
