Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to use electrical test equipment to perform basic electrical tests on aircraft and components. It involves the application of skills in the use of electrical test equipment under qualified person guidance to measure voltage and current, and to test aircraft and component continuity, insulation and bonding during maintenance work. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit applies to work undertaken in both the hangar and workshop during scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. It is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).This unit forms part of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requirement for maintenance certification licences under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66. Where a CASA licensing outcome is sought, users must refer to the licensing provisions in the MEA Aeroskills Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
