Modification History

Release 2 - Licensing requirements clarified. Additional electives for component workshop training pathway. Elective unit MEA388A not carried forward (subsumed by elective units MEA392A, MEA393A, MEA394A, MEA395A, MEA396A and MEA397A) - equivalent

Release 1 - Additional electives for component workshop training pathway. Unit codes updated as required - equivalent

Description

This qualification may apply to employees of civil aviation maintenance organisations or to members of the ADF who perform scheduled inspections, fault diagnosis and repair, and modification of airframes and airframe mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components, and of aircraft engines and (where applicable) propellers.

The qualification defines the exit from an apprenticeship and may apply to either aircraft maintenance performed on flight lines/ramps and in hangars, or to airframe and engine component repair and overhaul performed in workshops. These outcomes are defined in two streams:

aircraft maintenance stream
component maintenance workshop stream.

The qualification consists of:

common units that apply to all Aeroskills specialist streams at AQF Certificate III and IV levels
mechanical and structures technical stream units relating to airframe and engine system and component maintenance
mechanical technical stream units and a small number of avionic stream units that are applicable to the aircraft component maintenance workshop stream.

Pathways Information

Because of the wide application of this qualification there is considerable flexibility in the selection of technical stream units and individuals should be mindful of their future career aspirations when selecting units for, in particular, the aircraft maintenance stream. Provided that the correct elective units are selected, the qualification articulates with the MEA50211 Diploma of Aeroskills (Mechanical) which qualifies individuals for the grant by CASA of a B1 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence.

The qualification also provides credits towards the MEA50411 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Mechanical) and the MEA60211 Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Mechanical).

Licensing/Regulatory Information

This qualification complies with airworthiness regulatory requirements of CASA and the ADF.

Entry Requirements

Not applicable.
