MEA20511 - Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance

Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance

This qualification is applicable to employees of airlines and other operators of piston, jet and turbo-propeller aircraft and helicopters who are required to hold a CASA A Licence to perform and certify a range of specified maintenance tasks that can be performed with the aircraft on a flight line or at the departure gate. On completion of the required maintenance tasks the individual is authorised to release the aircraft to service.

The qualification satisfies CASA requirements for the grant, under CASR Part 66, of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer A Licence when:

the skills and knowledge requirements align with CASA syllabus requirements described under â€˜Licensingâ€™ in the Assessment Guidelines and in Appendix 1

training has been delivered in accordance with the requirements of CASR Part 147.

The units of competency that comprise this qualification consist of a mix of:

common units that are applicable to all of the employment streams covered by the MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package or are of an administrative nature relating to the CASA A Licence

a combination of Avionic, Mechanical and Structures Technical Stream units that apply to the range of tasks performed by the holders of CASA A Licences.

This qualification provides a number of credits towards higher level Aeroskills Certificates and towards the Diploma of Aeroskills (Mechanical) which is required for the grant of a CASA B1 licence.

Subjects

To be awarded the MEA20511 Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance, competency must be demonstrated in fifteen (15) units of competency, as follows:

fourteen (14) Core units made up of common, imported and technical stream units

one (1) unit from Elective Group A, chosen according to the CASA A licence that is being sought.
