Description
This unit of competency requires application of skills and knowledge relating to the use of performance testing in establishing the airworthiness state of aircraft and aircraft systems through means such as aircraft flight testing, engine ground runs, system functional tests and test equipment calibration during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of the Aeroskills 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).
Notes
