Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1 - New unit of competency
Application
This unit of competency requires the application of work planning and organising principles that are applied within the framework of defined single or multiple aviation maintenance tasks that involve one or more individuals. Tasks may be performed during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance performed on flight line/tarmac, in hangars and in component workshops. It is applicable to all Aeroskills maintenance training pathways and is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.
Where a CASA licensing outcome is sought this unit forms part of the CASA requirement for the granting of the chosen maintenance certification licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66, in accordance with the licensing provisions in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
