This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and monitor a budget for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance in aircraft and aeronautical product maintenance organisations, including engineering and logistic support areas. It involves applying Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs) requirements, and organisational policies, procedures and processes. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.It covers the competencies required to manage budgeting activities in aircraft and aeronautical product maintenance and logistic support activities other than major maintenance budgets associated with integrated logistic support (ILS) maintenance programs. Competencies related to these programs are partly covered by MEA139 Perform aviation maintenance-related integrated logistic support management activities. Individuals involved in the management of such programs may, as an alternative to MEA132, consider attainment of PSPMGT009Manage public sector financial resources, from the PSP Public Sector Training Package. Those who are accountable managers of maintenance organisations may, instead of this unit, consider attaining MEA146 Prepare and manage aviation maintenance organisation budgets and financial plans.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).This unit forms part of the CASA requirement for maintenance certification licences under CASR Part 66.
