Perform a flight servicing on a piston trainer
You are a first year apprentice at the Sunshine Coast line station.
What has happened
Skyreach Flight Training needs VH-SFR, a single engine piston trainer, serviced and ready for a 10:30 am training flight. Work order WO-26-1195 has been raised for a flight servicing: engine oil level, fuel drain checks for water and contamination, tyre pressures, lights, and removal and recording of covers and blanks. The aircraft carries a deferred defect for a stiff pilot side window latch with a placard. Ella Rasmussen will check and certify your work, and after last week's pitot cover occurrence the station is strict about recording covers and blanks on the work order.
Deliverables
- Completed work order record with each task and reading
- Covers and blanks record
- Tool check record
- Any safety report raised

Evidence guide
Look for each task recorded at the time it was done with actual readings, covers and blanks recorded and removed, the placard checked, and the aircraft presented for certification rather than signed off by the student. Observe safe apron behaviour, chocking and housekeeping. The student must be able to explain the limits of what an apprentice can sign.
