Companion Volume implementation guides are found in VETNet - https://vetnet.education.gov.au/Pages/TrainingDocs.aspx?q=ce216c9c-04d5-4b3b-9bcf-4e81d0950371
The unit of competency applies to engineering or related projects requiring avionic engineering skills and includes the identification, application and integration of avionic fundamentals. It includes identifying task parameters, personal and team function, chain of responsibility and work health and safety (WHS) guidelines. It includes investigation of aircraft electrical, instrument, radio and data systems and components and avionic fundamentals, including electrical and electronic methods and processes, workshop techniques, materials, scientific and mathematical principles and computer software. It requires completion of the task in cooperation with the team and documentation of the process and outcomes.
It is suitable for people pursuing paraprofessional careers and qualifications in avionic engineering.
This unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
MEA706 | Apply basic scientific principles and techniques in avionic engineering |
MEM23004A | Apply technical mathematics |
MEM23007A | Apply calculus to engineering tasks |
MEA727 | Apply calculus in avionic engineering situations |
Avionic engineering
This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. | |
Assistance from holders of specific licenses and authorisations required by the relevant airworthiness regulator, CASA or the ADF Technical support and advice relating to elements which have intrinsic dangers, for example: high pressure energised fluid vessels high temperatures and heat energy capacity wiring with high current control voltages above extra low voltage Professional support for technologies, such as: specialist electric motor drives and controllers specialist materials, plastics, metal alloys and nano materials Special processes, foundry, alloy welding, heat treatment, sealing and fastening | |
WHS Acts and regulations Relevant standards Industry codes of practice Risk assessments Registration requirements Safe work practices State and territory regulatory requirements applying to electrical work Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs) AAP7001.053 ADF Technical Airworthiness Management Manual Overseas airworthiness authorities where applicable e.g. Federal Aviation Administration, Transport Canada, European Aviation Safety Agency | |
The process of developing solutions within the context of an entire system Recognising that an improvement in one subsystem can adversely affect another subsystem | |
Continuous improvement implementation relates to plant, products, processes, systems or services including design, development, implementation or manufacture, commissioning, operation or delivery and maintenance. Continuous improvement is part of CM and ILS Improvement processes, including: balanced scorecard current and future state mapping measuring performance against benchmarks process improvement, problem solving and decision making data management, generation, recording, analysing, storing and using of software training for improvement systems participation technical training | |
Financial Organisation procedural or culture Physical constraints, such as limits to resources, limits to site access or logistical limitations Airworthiness regulatory requirements | |
CM is a process for control and documentation of the design and development process and for the management of system, component and software throughout the service life | |
ILS is an integrated approach to the management of logistic disciplines originally developed for the management of military systems from design concept to final disposal at life-of-type. It covers: reliability engineering, maintainability engineering and maintenance planning supply and support support and test equipment manpower and personnel training and training support technical data and publications computer resources support facilities packaging, handling, storage and transportation design interface | |
