Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency requires application of legislative and regulatory requirements relating to the certification of aviation maintenance within the scope of the A Licence 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 Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) airworthiness and certification requirements during aircraft line maintenance tasks within the scope of the A Licence privileges during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The skills and knowledge covered by the units of competency listed in the MEA Aeroskills Training Package for the Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance are prerequisite to the attainment of the elements of competency specified in this unit. This includes full coverage of the CASR Part 66 Avionics or Mechanical Syllabus subjects/topics applicable to the A Licence.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

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 English literacy and oral expression associated with presenting clear and concise information.

The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of CASA and must be rigorously observed.

A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements and performance criteria 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 of Conditions. 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.

The Assessor must meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards.
