Modification History

Release 2. Equivalent to MEA206 Remove and install aircraft basic radio communication and navigation system components with amended prerequisite codes.

Application

This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and the use of maintenance documentation/publications in the removal and installation of basic radio communication and navigation system components of fixed and rotary wing aircraft that have basic radio communication and navigation 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.

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.
