MEAAVI0040 — Modify and repair aircraft component multi-layer printed circuit boards

1 Inspect multi-layer printed circuit boards and associated components

• 1.1Interpret required maintenance documentation, including component defect reports and match parts and serial numbers
• 1.2Prepare work area and circuit board assemblies in accordance with standard enterprise procedures to allow for effective detailed inspection of all substrate, circuit tracks, edge connectors and attached components, taking into account any static discharge procedures
• 1.3Visually or physically inspect circuit board assemblies for physical integrity of substrate, circuit tracks, edge connectors and attached components in accordance with maintenance documentation while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements
• 1.4Establish modification status to assist in determining repair requirements
• 1.5Identify and report defects in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

2 Test or adjust multi-layer printed circuit boards and associated components

• 2.1Prepare and connect circuit board assemblies to the appropriate test facility in accordance with approved procedures, or prepare and connect circuit board assemblies in situ to allow required test procedures to be performed
• 2.2Perform functional testing on circuit board assemblies for evidence of serviceability or malfunction in accordance with normal trade practice and maintenance documentation
• 2.3Electronically or physically adjust or align circuit board assemblies, attached hardware and electronic components in accordance with maintenance manuals or other prescribed procedures

3 Troubleshoot multi-layer printed circuit cards and associated components

• 3.1Use required maintenance documentation, physical inspection and test results to assist in fault determination
• 3.2Troubleshoot using maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides, logical processes and test equipment
• 3.3Locate component faults and identify and record causes of faults in required maintenance documentation
• 3.4Determine required for rectification of faults

4 Dismantle multi-layer printed circuit cards and associated components

• 4.1Remove conformal or protective coatings from the circuit board assembly to the extent required to effect necessary repairs and in accordance with maintenance manuals, industry or enterprise standards as applicable
• 4.2Observe WHS requirements at all times during maintenance procedures and use required material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and personal protective equipment (PPE)
• 4.3Dismantle circuit board assembly to the extent necessary to allow repair of all identified faults
• 4.4Tag and dispatch parts for processing in accordance with specified procedures
• 4.5Package and store parts for retention and refitment in accordance with standard enterprise procedures to avoid physical and electrostatic damage
• 4.6Pack and process parts for disposal in accordance with statutory requirements pertaining to dangerous goods

5 Assemble multi-layer printed circuit boards and associated components

• 5.1Collect parts removed for access and replacement parts, ensuring appropriate modification status, component tolerances and assembly configuration is maintained
• 5.2Replace conformal or protective coatings to the required standard of the equipment manufacturer or industry standard
• 5.3Ensure rework techniques are in accordance with industry approved procedures, and observe required WHS precautions, including use of MSDS and PPE
• 5.4Assemble printed circuit board and associated components in accordance with maintenance manuals, and ensure all electrical joints meet the required standard of the equipment manufacturer or industry standard
• 5.5Rework circuit substrate material, circuit tracks, edge connectors and through-hole eyelets as required to restore printed circuit board to a serviceable condition

What does an assessment tool for MEAAVI0040 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEAAVI0040 needs to address all 42 unit components: 5 elements with 23 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 MEAAVI0040?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEAAVI0040 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 MEAAVI0040 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEAAVI0040 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 MEAAVI0040, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
