Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1 - New unit of competency
Application
This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and the use of maintenance documentation/publications in the removal and installation of pressurisation control system components of fixed wing aircraft that have pressurisation systems, during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.
The unit is part of the Avionic Certificate IV (Aircraft Maintenance Stream) training pathway and is also part of the Mechanical Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licensing pathway.
The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
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.
