Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to provide engineering advice in the Defence airworthiness environment on mechanical and avionics systems. The advice is provided in relation to the modification, repair, maintenance and management of aircraft and associated mechanical and avionic systems.The unit applies to advice provided in scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. It is applied within the airworthiness jurisdiction of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).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.
