Description
This unit of competency applies to modelling of avionic systems and components for civil or military aircraft. It is suitable for people working as design drafters and those pursuing paraprofessional careers and qualifications in avionics.The unit covers the application of avionic modelling techniques for avionic component or systems design or maintenance purposes. It includes consideration of the computer-aided engineering (CAE) purposes for which the model is required, such as electrical or electronic component or system, printed circuit board manufacture and assembly and as a basis for generating orthogonal drawings and wiring, circuit and schematic diagrams.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).
