Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply hand skills and use relevant maintenance manuals, drawings and specifications to repair and/or overhaul 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.Components may be from systems such as flight controls, landing gear retraction, nose wheel steering and transmissions other than those that are part of power plant assemblies (except for helicopter components, which are covered by MEAMEC0069 Repair and overhaul rotary wing dynamic components).The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA).Any other relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
