Modification History

Release 2 - Licensing requirements clarified - equivalent

Release 1 - New qualification

Description

This qualification may apply to individuals employed within the General Aviation industry sector on the maintenance of small aircraft who are not seeking direct progression to a CASA B1.2 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licence limited to basic small aircraft maintenance. It may also be of use as a first Aeroskills qualification for individuals transitioning from an allied trade to employment on small aircraft maintenance.

Individuals who intend to seek the grant of a licence in the future should consider the requirements for MEA41011 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) when selecting elective units of competency for this qualification.

Pathways Information

Depending on the choice of elective units, this qualification articulates with MEA41011 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) and a number of units also provide credits towards other qualifications at AQF Certificate IV and Diploma levels.

Licensing/Regulatory Information

This qualification complies with airworthiness regulatory requirements of CASA for the maintenance of small aircraft.

Entry Requirements

Not applicable.

Employability Skills Summary

Teamwork	Performing tasks as an individual while being responsive to supervisors and allowing for relevant human factors Working effectively with others who may be of different ages, gender, race, religion and political persuasion Assisting other team members with tasks and providing advice on work processes
Problem solving	Identifying problems in a timely manner and developing practical solutions to problems not fully covered by maintenance data Proposing solutions to problems as modifications or amendments to specified maintenance processes Constantly reviewing problem solving skills and ability to effectively apply competencies to solve problems within the limits permitted by regulatory and organisational guidelines Responding to emergencies or accidents in accordance with regulatory and organisational requirements Using mathematical techniques to apply tolerances and limits, and to convert values between systems of measurement
Initiative and enterprise	Adapting to new situations that arise as a consequence of regulatory changes, revised maintenance data, practices and procedures Varying work practices and behaviour as a result of performance feedback from peers and supervisors Evaluating ideas to ensure that technical and regulatory aspects have been fully covered before proposing action that may result in modifications or changes to work processes Applying human factors to avoid maintenance errors and maintain quality standards Adapting competencies to the performance of a wide range of maintenance tasks Contributing to a process of continuous improvement and a willingness to support and participate in the effective introduction of new work practices
Planning and organising	Clarifying task objectives and required outcomes through discussion with supervisors and other team members Monitoring the time taken to complete tasks against team requirements or targets provided by supervisors Collecting, analysing and organising information relating to assigned tasks and confirming the purpose and required work outcomes Identifying the extent of impact on assigned work of changes in procedures, work instructions or regulatory requirements
Self-management	Accepting responsibility for managing individual workload to meet target completion times or fit in with team milestones Assessing personal knowledge and skills with the aid of the self-assessment work sheets in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement and preparing for competency assessments Actively seeking opportunities to develop competencies and to apply them across a range of tasks and monitoring performance using indicators such as the extent of oversight exercised by supervisors Identifying career paths and training opportunities that will assist in attaining career goals
Learning	Taking advantage of learning opportunities that arise through training courses provided by the organisation or external providers and through mentoring and on-job training Adapting competencies to accommodate new ideas and techniques Using feedback from supervisors and peers to identify ways in which competence can be improved Mentoring new or more junior personnel Interpreting units of competency and applying them to attainment of identified career goals
