Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply hand skills, maintenance publications, and knowledge of gas turbine engine and system theory to inspect, test and troubleshoot fixed and rotary wing aircraft gas turbine engines and engine system components during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of inspection, testing and troubleshooting applications (including the timely involvement of supervisor or other trades) associated with engine systems. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA). Any other relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Inspect gas turbine engine system and components
