What an assessment for MEAAVI0060 must cover

26 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. 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 Inspect fixed wing single-axis autopilot systems and components

  • 1.1Identify inspection requirements using maintenance documentation and modification status, including system defect reports
  • 1.2Check isolation tags and configure aircraft for safe system inspection and operation in accordance with maintenance manual while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements
  • 1.3Visually or physically check single-axis autopilot system and components for external signs of defects in accordance with applicable maintenance manual
  • 1.4Correctly identify and report defects in accordance with standard enterprise procedures

2 Test or adjust fixed wing single-axis autopilot systems and components

  • 2.1Prepare aircraft and system for application of power or system operation in accordance with maintenance manual
  • 2.2Perform functional testing on autopilot systems for evidence of serviceability or malfunction in accordance with maintenance manual
  • 2.3Perform required calibration or adjustments to system in accordance with maintenance manual

3 Troubleshoot fixed wing single-axis autopilot systems

  • 3.1Use available information from maintenance documentation, inspection and test results to assist in fault determination
  • 3.2Troubleshoot autopilot systems to line replacement level using maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides and logic processes
  • 3.3Obtain required specialist or supervisory advice to assist with the troubleshooting process

Performance evidence

  • perform inspection, testing and troubleshooting on fixed wing single-axis autopilot systems and components on at least two occasions during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance
  • recognise system and component defects, external damage, correct/incorrect installation, connection of plugs, terminations, attachment hardware (including cabling/harnesses) and security in the systems and components being worked on, and comprising: - autopilot system components - radio navigation system interfaces
  • perform functional testing on the systems and components being worked on by applying logic processes, taking and interpreting system measurements, and using test equipment and appropriate wiring diagrams and manuals to accurately and effectively isolate system malfunctions and assess post-maintenance serviceability
  • apply testing procedures, cleanliness requirements and safety precautions at all times, and as relevant to the system/s being maintained.

Knowledge evidence

  • component attachment methods
  • the basic layout (block diagram level), function and operation of: - autopilot system components - interface with radio navigation systems
  • autopilot system maintenance requirements and troubleshooting procedures
  • work health and safety (WHS) practices for inspecting, testing and troubleshooting fixed wing single-axis autopilot systems
  • basic principles/functions, relating to the listed systems and associated with the following: - basic alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) circuit theory - digital fundamentals - analogue fundamentals - fixed wing flight theory - inner and outer loop control
  • maintenance manuals for inspecting, testing and troubleshooting fixed wing single-axis autopilot systems
  • relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.

Foundation skills

  • Reading skills: to interpret maintenance manuals, inspection procedures and specifications (allowable limits).
  • Writing skills: to record and report on defects and faults and their causes.
  • Numeracy skills: to interpret and communicate technical information including wiring diagrams and take and interpret system measurements.

Questions about assessing MEAAVI0060

What does an assessment tool for MEAAVI0060 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEAAVI0060 needs to address all 26 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 MEAAVI0060?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEAAVI0060 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 MEAAVI0060 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEAAVI0060 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 MEAAVI0060, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
