Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to use the internet; and word processing, spreadsheet, database, and project planning software to perform tasks relating to integrated logistic support (ILS) activities associated with aviation maintenance. The work involves aircraft technical records, including standards; specifications; vendor data on materials, piece parts and components; and engineering data. The unit requires compliance with regulatory requirements relating to compiling and safeguarding data. The unit applies to computer use during scheduled and unscheduled aviation maintenance. 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).This unit forms part of the CASA requirement for maintenance certification licences under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66. Where a CASA licensing outcome is sought, users must refer to the licensing provisions in the MEA Aeroskills Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
