Description
This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and the use of relevant maintenance manuals, drawings and specifications to fabricate and repair a range of fixed and rotary wing aircraft mechanical components during the performance of scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Maintenance may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of the Mechanical Certificate IV (Aircraft Maintenance Stream) and Structures Certificate IV training pathways. 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). Where a CASA licensing outcome is sought this unit forms part of the CASA requirement for the granting of the chosen maintenance certification licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66, in accordance with the licensing provisions in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
