Description
This unit of competency requires application of basic knowledge of avionic system function, design and layout, including typical electrical and instrument systems, during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of Diploma and Advanced Diploma training pathways. 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).
