  2. Production of components of plastics or composite materials for aircraft or ground support equipment
  3. Operating and monitoring of automated systems in the aircraft production
  4. Surface protection of components for the aircraft construction
  5. Joining and dissolving of structural components and aircraft airframes
  6. Assembly and disassembly of aero engines
  7. Assembly and disassembly of equipment and systems in/at the aircraft airframe
  8. Functional checks and tuning at the aircraft
  9. Functional checks and tuning at the engine
  10. Maintenance and inspection of the aircraft
  11. Analysis and recondition of malfunctions at system components
  12. Analysis and reconditioning of damage on structure components
  13. Analysis and reconditioning of malfunctions at the engine
  14. Reconditioning of engine components
  15. Reconditioning of accessory equipment
  16. Independent quality inspections

Electrical:

  1. Production of bunched circuits for aircraft systems
  2. Production or modification of electric devices
  3. Passing bunched circuits in aircraft systems
  4. Assembly and disassembly of subsystems and devices at aircraft systems
  5. Modification of aircraft systems
  6. Functional checks and system audit of supply units and control systems
  7. Functional checks and system audit of information and communication systems
  8. Analysis and repair of malfunctions at bunched circuits in aircraft systems
  9. Analysis and repair of malfunctions at supply units and control systems

1 Evidence collection

One question arises and thatis about the form in which learners assemble evidence that they have successfully completed these tasks.

2 Level of aggregation of TPTs (Germany)

This level of aggregation of the TPTs looks sustainable.

I think what is interesting about these TPTs (example given belwo) is that they are at a level of aggregation that is meaningful in terms of the work as a whole and are broad enough to cope with change and that they recognise that there is a continuing learning dimension associated with work even after initial training. Presumably similarly generic evidence of achievement can be offered.

27. Maintenance and inspection of aircraft systems

This professional task deals with the periodic maintenance and inspection (e. g. Pre-Flight-Checks and Post-Flight-Checks) of aircrafts. The maintenance manuals (e. g. Aircraft Maintenance Manuel (AMM) or German Air Force Technical Orders (GAFTO)) must be taken into account. When maintaining or inspecting an aircraft, simple malfunctions are repaired. Serious malfunctions are repaired in close cooperation with the respective skilled workers or the concerned aircraft, unit or subsystem got to be transferred for analysis and repair to the respective department. The worker has to add the maintenance or inspection to the documentation system. At the end of this professional task functional tests are performed and the aircraft is enabled for the next flight.
