Description

This qualification may apply to employees of civil aviation maintenance organisations or to members of the ADF who perform scheduled inspections, fault diagnosis and repair, and modification of airframes and airframe mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components, and of aircraft engines and (where applicable) propellers.
The qualification defines the exit from an apprenticeship and may apply to either aircraft maintenance performed on flight lines/ramps and in hangars, or to airframe and engine component repair and overhaul performed in workshops. These outcomes are defined in two streams:
aircraft maintenance stream
component maintenance workshop stream.
The qualification consists of:
common units that apply to all Aeroskills specialist streams at AQF Certificate III and IV levels
mechanical and structures technical stream units relating to airframe and engine system and component maintenance
mechanical technical stream units and a small number of avionic stream units that are applicable to the aircraft component maintenance workshop stream.
