Description

This qualification reflects the roles of mechanical or avionic maintenance managers and integrated logistic support (ILS) managers in both the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA) regulatory environments.
Workers apply broad aviation maintenance skills and knowledge to manage maintenance compliance, risks, safety, and personnel according to established procedures and operating variables. This may include identifying and addressing requirements and problems within complex and changing contexts.
This qualification applies to workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of DASA and CASA. Any regulatory or licensing requirements associated with any MEA units of competency must be met.
