Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to use performance testing in establishing the airworthiness state of aircraft and aircraft systems, through means such as aircraft flight testing, engine ground runs, system functional tests, and test equipment calibration. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.
The unit applies to performance testing during scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. 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).
This unit forms part of the CASA requirement for maintenance certification licences under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66. Where a CASA licensing outcome is sought, users must refer to the licensing provisions in the MEA Aeroskills Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
