Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 2. Equivalent to MEA239 Fabricate aircraft electrical looms and harnesses with amended prerequisite codes.
Application
This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and maintenance publications in aircraft hangars and workshops to fabricate aircraft electrical looms and harnesses under qualified person guidance for general use in electrical 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 II training 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).
