Release: 2

MEA271 Lay out avionic flight management systems

Modification History

Release 2. Equivalent to MEA271 Lay out avionic flight management systems with amended prerequisite codes.

Application

This unit of competency requires application of basic knowledge of avionic flight management systems function, design and layout including typical instrument, radio and electronic systems during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.

The unit is part of Diploma and Advanced Diploma training pathways. It is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
