Issue Date: May 2024
This unit requires application of competencies relating to NDT techniques and related metallurgical knowledge in the research, analysis, development and evaluation of NDT tests for aircraft structure and components to Level 3 (AS 3669-2006 Non-destructive testing – Qualification and approval of personnel – Aerospace).
The work can relate to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities on the metallic and composite structure of aircraft and aircraft components.
Certification against applicable standards may be achieved where assessment in this unit of competency is carried out in conjunction with an examining authority as described in ISO 9712:2005 Non-destructive testing – Qualification and certification of personnel.
This unit of competency is part of the Diploma and Advanced Diplomas of Aeroskills (Non-Destructive Testing). It provides the skills and knowledge required to research, analyse, develop and evaluate non-destructive tests (NDT) in the aviation maintenance environment. The unit is similar to unit MEM24011B Establish non-destructive tests but observes the requirements of AS 3669 and of the Regulators, the ADF and CASA for the approval of procedures and the performance of NDT on aircraft and aircraft components.
