Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1 - New unit of competency

Application

This unit of competency requires application of legislative and regulatory requirements relating to the certification of aviation maintenance within the scope of the A Licence by an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer who holds an A Licence.

This is one of the units of competency that must be attained to progress from Aircraft Maintenance Engineer to the grant of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer A Licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66. It covers the competencies required to correctly interpret and apply Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) airworthiness and certification requirements during aircraft line maintenance tasks within the scope of the A Licence privileges during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.

The skills and knowledge covered by the units of competency listed in the MEA Aeroskills Training Package for the Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance are prerequisite to the attainment of the elements of competency specified in this unit. This includes full coverage of the CASR Part 66 Avionics or Mechanical Syllabus subjects/topics applicable to the A Licence.
