Description
This unit of competency requires application of basic aeronautical scientific principles and techniques as a member of a design and development team or similar in support of the design and development of aeronautical applications, or within the engineering department of an aircraft maintenance organisation. Applications include identifying the range of basic aeronautical scientific principles and techniques relevant to aeronautical engineering, selecting aeronautical principles and techniques for particular applications, applying aeronautical principles and techniques to engineering tasks and quoting results appropriately.This 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).
