Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This Unit requires application of legislative and regulatory requirements relating to the certification of aviation maintenance within the scope of the A Licence.

Applications include all maintenance tasks that require certification by an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer who holds an A Licence.

This is one of the units of competency that must be attained to progress from Aircraft Maintenance Engineer to the grant of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer A Licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66. It covers the competencies required to correctly interpret and apply CASA airworthiness and certification requirements during aircraft line maintenance tasks within the scope of the A Licence privileges.

The skills and knowledge covered by the units of competency listed in the Aeroskills Training Package for MEA20507 Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance are pre-requisite to the attainment of the elements of competency specified in this unit. This includes full coverage of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 66 Avionics or Mechanical Syllabus subjects/topics as listed in the Assessment Guidelines.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply without error legislative and regulatory requirements relating to the certification of aviation line maintenance activities that are within the scope of the A Licence privileges.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that airworthiness compliance requirements are interpreted and fully applied without error.

Evidence is required of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the application of airworthiness legislation and compliance requirements, along with evidence of appropriate levels of literacy and oral expression associated with presenting clear and concise information.

A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the unit of competency are being achieved under supervision without intervention on a range of tasks fully representative of Groups 1 to 13 in the Range Statement. The body of evidence for this unit may be collected and logged during simulated activities at the CASR Part 147 MTO and/or performance during supervised workplace activities.

Knowledge must also be demonstrated of the concept of airworthiness that underpins the legislative framework and compliance requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed in the work environment under supervision but without intervention for the purpose of Journal entries, and/or by use of simulated activities in a CASR Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation (MTO), covering the interpretation and application of airworthiness control and certification requirements.

This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those that apply to the exercise of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer A Licence privileges in the actual maintenance of aircraft.

1. Scheduled line maintenance up to Weekly Check level or equivalent

2. Unscheduled maintenance involving component removal and installation within the scope of the A Licence

3. Configuration changes that are within the scope of the A Licence

4. Repairs to internal fittings

Regulatory systems, legislation and compliance

In performing Tasks 1 to 4, knowledge is to be applied with regard to airworthiness regulatory systems and Australian legislation, and the application of compliance requirements in the performance, recording and certification of maintenance activities, as follows:

5. International and national regulatory bodies and recognition agreements, including bilateral agreements

6. Australian airworthiness regulatory bodies and the legislative framework

7. Procedures for release of aircraft to service following maintenance

8. Procedures for certification of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities

9. Procedures for certifying the completion of repairs

10. Determining and applying configuration management procedures involving items of removable equipment

11. Compiling and processing service difficulty reports

12. Orally communicating on technical and airworthiness compliance topics
