Foreword

This publication has been developed to assist individuals and organisations engaged in the

maintenance of aircraft and aircraft components. It provides guidance to help make full use of the

MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package to gain aviation maintenance skills, qualifications and Civil

Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) licences that are required for compliance with applicable Civil

Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs). It includes a description of the MEA11 Aeroskills Training

Package contents and has a number of attachments that demonstrate how the Training Package can

be used to meet a range of typical industry needs.

The purpose of this is to:

put individuals and organisations in a sound position to define, in discussions with training

providers, the training that they require

enable maintenance organisations to use aeroskills units of competency and qualifications to

demonstrate compliance with training requirements specified in CASRs and associated

Manuals of Standards

In using this publication, please note that CASRs, Manuals of Standards and supporting

publications (Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material) are subject to amendment

and references herein should not be relied upon without direct reference to the CASA material

and/or CASA representatives.


Chapter 1: The MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package

The Aeroskills Training Package has been in use with maintainers of large aircraft and with the

Australian Defence Force (ADF) for the past 17 years. It is one of the Training Packages that comprise

the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and can be found on the training.gov.au website,

either as the complete Training Package or in the form of individual qualifications or units of

competency. The Training Package is maintained and regularly updated by Manufacturing Skills

Australia (MSA) which is the trading name of the Manufacturing Industry Skills Council located in

North Sydney. A description of this organisation and contact details are in Appendix 1, along with a

description of the processes used for the development and update of the Training Package.

The current version of the Training Package upon which this publication is based is MEA11 Aeroskills

Training Package version 1. The Training Package consists of units of competency that define the

skills, knowledge and application required for specified tasks, and qualifications that group these

units into packages of training required for specific industry outcomes. Also included are Skill Sets

that are used to define requirements for specific outcomes, such as the removal of exclusions from

B1 and B2 licences, and for specialist maintenance approvals, such as aircraft welding and non-

destructive testing (NDT).

Units of competency

MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package contains 335 units of competency:

41 Common units

69 Avionic units

73 Mechanical units

24 Structures units (includes surface finishing, NDT and aircraft welding)

11 Aircraft life support and furnishing units

Individual maintenance authorisations – 69

The use of these Skill Sets will be demonstrated later in providing the means for removing B1 and B2

licence exclusions, and for complying with individual authorisation requirements of Civil Aviation

Safety Regulations (CASR) Part 145..


Chapter 2: Supporting the aviation maintenance industry

As shown in Appendix 1, MSA works as closely as possible with aviation industry maintenance

organisations and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). Also, as aircraft and aircraft component

maintenance is highly regulated in both the civil and military fields, MSA works very closely with the

Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and with the equivalent organisation within the ADF.

In the case of CASA, as the new CASRs were developed, MSA developed units of competency,

qualification training pathways and Skill Sets to support specific authorisation requirements and

licensing requirements. In the case of large aircraft maintenance, new regulations (CASR Part 42 and

145) were introduced in the middle of 2011. At the same time regulations governing licensing and

training related to licensing (CASR Part 66 and 147) came into force and the existing CAR 31 licence-

holders were issued with B1 and B2 licences. To allow for variations in privileges between the old

and new licences, the B1 and B2 licences frequently had one or more exclusions at the time of issue.

Units of competency, qualifications and Skill Sets to support the new maintenance regulations, and

to provide pathways for the removal of exclusions from licences, are in the MEA11 Aeroskills

Training Package, and details are provided in Chapters 3 and 4.

The future regulatory requirements for small aircraft maintenance and licensing of maintenance

engineers has yet to be finalised by CASA, but are intended to be in place by mid-2015. However, a

considerable amount of work was done in 2007 and 2008 towards a new licensing system and this

work enabled the development of units of competency and qualifications specifically for small

aircraft maintenance and licensing. These have been included in the MEA11 Aeroskills Training

Package at Certificate III and IV levels. The higher qualification provides an alternative training

pathway towards licensing through to 2015 and, with any necessary changes to accommodate the

final form of licensing, will thereafter become the means of qualifying for the grant of a licence for

small aircraft maintenance.

This has been done in advance of final development of regulations because:

the units are required for the removal of exclusions from B1 and B2 licences that have

already been issued to LAMEs employed on small aircraft maintenance (refer to Chapter 3)

for apprentices to complete their training and be available for grant of licence in late 2015

and in 2016, training needs to begin no later than the beginning of 2013.

Details of the training avenues are provided in Chapter 5, including guidance on the selection of

optional units of competency and qualification training pathways to assist maintenance

organisations to obtain training that meets the needs of their organisation.


Chapter 3: Removal of exclusions from B1 and B2 licenses

Background

Many of the B1 (B1.1, B1.2, B1.3 and B1.4) and B2 licences issued in mid-2011 to replace the CAR 31

licences contain exclusions, as listed in the CASR Part 66 Information Booklet and used as the codes

in CASA Form 546 (Application for Removal of Exclusions/Limitations from a CASR Part 66 Licence).

The purpose of the exclusions is to align the privileges of individuals under the old licences with

those of the B1 and B2. A good example is that the B1 includes full electrical privileges, while many

individuals with CAR 31 airframe and engine licences would need further training before being able

to exercise these electrical privileges. Accordingly, their B1 licences would be annotated with

exclusions to prevent them from exercising full electrical privileges until they have established

competency through either assessment or training.

MSA worked closely with CASA to develop Skill Sets that group units of competency relevant to the

removal of each exclusion. These Skill Sets are at Appendix 3, along with guidance for their selection

and use. The Skill Sets are one means for removing exclusions and have the following advantages:

They simplify the task of arranging training with an RTO that is also a Maintenance Training

Organisation (MTO) under CASR Part 147 and attainment of the listed units of competency

will clearly establish eligibility for removal of the specific exclusion.

The full requirements for a B1 licence are covered by the Diploma of Aeroskills

(Mechanical) and completion of all units listed in the exclusions for a specific licence may

create eligibility for the award of the Diploma. The same applies to the B2 where the full

requirements are covered by the Diploma of Aeroskills (Avionics).

Separate tables are provided for the B1 licence sub-categories where different mixes of

units of competency are appropriate. This is intended to assist individuals and the RTO in

ensuring that the best units are chosen for the field of employment and that the

competencies required for the removal of the exclusion are chosen.

In the case of both B1 sub-categories and the B2, where LAMEs employed on small aircraft

maintenance would have difficulty in attaining some units in their normal workplace, there

are two Skill Sets; one for removal of the exclusion while working on large aircraft and the

other for removal of the exclusion while working on small aircraft. This again minimises the

risk of selecting the wrong units and needing to go to another workplace to attain

competency.


Chapter 4: Individual authorisations

CASR Part 42 Continuing Airworthiness Requirements for Aircraft and Aeronautical product

In the case of CASR Part 42 there are specific qualification and experience requirements in the

Manual of Standards for individuals employed by Continuing Airworthiness Management

Organisations (CAMO) as:

responsible manager

continuing airworthiness manager

airworthiness review employees

maintenance program approval employees.

Qualifications in aviation maintenance management at Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels

contain a number of units of competency that are relevant to these positions. Also, coverage of this

area will be increased in Version 2 of MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package with the addition of unit

MEA147A Perform airworthiness management and maintenance program tasks. Details are provided

in Appendix 4.

CASR Part 145 Approved Maintenance Organisations

In the CASR Part 145 Manual of Standards, Approved Maintenance Organisations (AMOs) have a

responsibility to ensure that all maintenance employees are appropriately trained. Qualifications,

units of competency and Skill Sets in the MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package can be used for this

purpose (except for type training and specific equipment training typically provided by Original

Equipment Manufacturer (OEMs) and related organisations).

More specifically, there are Skill Sets developed by MSA in consultation with CASA that can be used

for training individuals to perform and/or certify specific maintenance activities in the following

areas:

NDT

welding

borescope inspections

composite repairs

egress system maintenance

in-flight entertainment equipment that requires specialist software management

other maintenance approved by CASA as specialist maintenance (maintenance currently

covered by Skill Sets is machining, electroplating and tyre retreading).


In addition, there are additional Skill Sets that are aimed at providing necessary training for

individuals from allied trades (such as auto mechanic, auto electrician and electronics technician) to

be authorised to perform maintenance on aircraft components.

Guidance for the use of the MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package for these purposes is provided in

Appendix 5.


Chapter 5: Small aircraft maintenance

Background

In the early 1990s the National Aeroskills Project had difficulty in getting a sufficient number of

General Aviation (GA) representatives involved in developing the initial units of competency and

qualifications that were to define future apprentice training. As a consequence, the early

development work was done by the representatives of airlines and large aircraft maintainers, and of

the ADF. The inevitable outcome was many units that could not be attained through working on

small aircraft and qualification pathways that did not suit many of the GA maintenance

organisations, particularly smaller organisations working exclusively on basic light aircraft

maintenance; that is a fixed wing aircraft with fixed undercarriage, a normally aspirated piston

engine and a fixed pitch propeller or a small helicopter with a normally aspirated piston engine,

manual controls and a skid undercarriage.

At the launch of the Aeroskills Training Package in 1997 GA representatives present indicated an

unwillingness to use the Training Package until it properly represented their needs and until an

individual could graduate from apprenticeship training with a basic licence. Thereafter, progress was

tied to CASA regulatory reform so that the attainment of a licence in GA could be linked to an

apprenticeship. Progress towards this outcome was delayed when a decision was taken to align

aviation safety regulations with the European Aviation Safety Agency and all effort for a time was

directed at the large aircraft maintenance regulations.

In 2007, CASA formed the B3 Team to develop revised licensing for the GA sector. The outcome was

to be a B3 licence which, in its basic form, would enable the release to service of a basic light aircraft

with a single signature after a 100 hourly inspection. The licence was to be available to apprentices

on completion of a Certificate IV qualification which typically required about 1280 hours of off-the-

job training. With the assistance of the industry representatives on the B3 team, units of

competency specific to small aircraft maintenance were developed, along with a Certificate IV in

Aeroskills (Mechatronics).

These units of competency were also used in the development of a Certificate III in Aeroskills

(Mechatronics) for those not immediately seeking a licence, and for the considerable number of

AMEs who come into aircraft maintenance from allied trades.

The B3 was ultimately shelved and, in June 2011, CASA issued GA LAMEs with B1 and B2 licences

with exclusions in areas where the individuals’ backgrounds of training, experience and licence

categories did not match the full B1 and B2 privileges. The final form of small aircraft licensing is yet

to be determined, but CASA currently intends that CAR 30 and 31 will be superseded by new

regulations governing small aircraft maintenance by the middle of 2015.

If individuals trained through the MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package are to be available for grant of

licence by the end of 2015 the training of apprentices will need to begin by early 2013. For that

reason, MSA adapted the qualification developed for the B3 to provide training leading to a B1 with

exclusions and included both the Certificate III and the Certificate IV in MEA11 Aeroskills Training


Package. The small aircraft units are also required for Skill Sets that enable the removal of licence

exclusions (refer Appendix 3).

Using the qualifications

Both the Certificate III and the Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) have been structured to

provide the maximum amount of flexibility in order to be able to meet the needs of the wide range

of GA maintenance organisations. In this regard, the Certificate III is the more flexible because the

Certificate IV has to provide discrete pathways for small aircraft maintenance personnel to the B1

licence sub-categories (B1.1, B1.2, B1.3 and B1.4), and to the B2. Providing these pathways and the

CASA licensing units of competency within the off-the-job hours for Certificate IV has meant that

flexibility in the choice of units of competency that can be delivered during an apprenticeship is fairly

limited.

Since there are clear benefits to meeting the needs of the workplace to the greatest possible extent

during an apprenticeship, or a traineeship in the case of the Certificate III, a number of examples of

GA maintenance organisations have been developed and advice is provided on the applicable choice

of units for each example. For the apprenticeships leading to Certificate IV in Aeroskills

(Mechatronics) and progress to licence, the advice on unit selection is in Appendix 6. For

traineeships leading to the Certificate III in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) and employment as AMEs the

advice on unit selection is in Appendix 7.

Appendix 3: Removal of exclusions from B1 and B2 licenses

Overview

As indicated in Chapter 3, Skill Sets in the MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package are one means of

attaining competencies required to remove exclusions from B1 (B1.1, B1.2, B1.3 and B1.4) and B2

licences. A description of the structure and content of the Skill Sets follows and they are then

presented in tabular form, followed by some examples of their use.

The Skill Sets

Skill Sets are an aggregation of units of competency that are required for a specific industry

outcome; in this case to specify the required competencies required for you to qualify for removal of

a specific exclusion from a B1 or B2 licence. In the MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package, at the

beginning of the tables containing the Skill Set details there is an important global statement of units

of competency that CASA and MSA deem to be held by all licence holders, regardless of whether or

not they were trained initially under the MEA07 Aeroskills Training Package. This is important

because it means that you do not have to be assessed against many of the prerequisites for the units

listed in the Skill Sets; assessment of competency will be confined to the units of competency that

directly contribute to the competencies required for removal of the specific exclusion. You will also

see that there is more than one Skill Set for some of the exclusions, thereby providing specialist

pathways covering:

large aircraft that are type rated vs. small aircraft maintained within GA

gas turbine engine aircraft vs. piston engine aircraft

fixed wing aeroplanes vs. helicopters

advanced helicopters vs. basic helicopters.

The reason for this is that competencies need to be attainable in your normal workplace on the

aircraft types on which you are normally employed. MSA and CASA have sought to avoid the need

for you to go to another workplace to attain a specific competency required for exclusion removal.

This is one of the major differences between the application of the MEA11 Aeroskills Training

Package and the old training system based on the Basic Examinations. While off-the-job theory and

practical training may be delivered by a training organisation, such as a TAFE College or Private

Provider of training, units of competency normally are assessed in the workplace. Thus, the

opportunity has to exist in your workplace wherever possible to meet the unit assessment criteria.


For any purpose related to licensing, assessment must be provided by a representative of a CASR

Part 147 MTO. Normally assessment follows delivery of off-the-job (theory and practical) training by

a RTO that is also a CASR Part 147 MTO. Note that training can be delivered by any RTO that has the

MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package in its scope of registration, but the unit of competency will not be

accepted for licensing or for exclusion removal unless there has been assessment by a Part 147 MTO.

This raises the issue of how you can be credited with the attainment of a unit by a Part 147 MTO.

The options are:

Obtain the off-the-job theory and practical training from a Part 147 MTO, enter workplace

experience in your Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement (provided by the MTO if

you do not have one from your apprenticeship or similar training) and then be assessed by

an assessor from the MTO, after which you will be given a Statement of Attainment that

can be used as the basis of an application for removal of an exclusion.

If you have attained the required units in the past from an RTO that is not also a Part 147

MTO you can seek recognition of prior learning (RPL) or recognition of current competency

(RCC) from a Part 147 MTO. If successful you will be given the Statement of Attainment

required for application for removal of the relevant licence exclusion.

If you believe that you have attained competency in the course of your prior employment

you can seek RPL from a Part 147 MTO. If successful, you will be given the Statement of

Attainment required for exclusion removal.

Finally, please note that the attainment of some units of competency may contribute to the removal

of more than one licence exclusion because the unit covers more than one system. This most

commonly occurs in the radio field where a unit may cover a number of navigation and/or

communications systems.

Now it is time to look at the range of Skill Sets, following which are a number of examples of the use

of individual Skill Sets.

The Skill Sets for licence exclusion removal

In the process of transitioning from the CAR 31 aircraft maintenance engineer licensing system to

the new CASR Part 66 system many existing CAR 31 licence holders have been granted a B1 or B2

licence with a range of exclusions.

To provide a mechanism for the removal of these exclusions, the Skill Sets in this Section have been

developed in consultation with CASA. For the purpose of exclusion removal, they must be delivered

by RTOs that also hold MTO status under CASR Part 147.

CASA has also issued Airworthiness Advisory Circular AAC 9–66 in which it has been specified that

CASA regards the grant of a B1 or B2 licence as signifying that all competencies relating to the

specific licence privileges granted are held by the individual. Under these provisions, all holders of a

B1 licence may be deemed to hold the following units of competency:



MEA103B Plan and organise aviation maintenance work activity





maintenance

MEA301B Perform aircraft flight servicing

All holders of a B2 licence may be deemed to hold the following units of competency:







maintenance

MEA201B Remove and install miscellaneous aircraft electrical hardware/components



For this reason, the above units are not listed against the Skill Sets where they are specified as

prerequisites for units in the Skill Sets.

Where any RPL action is required with regard to any of the units of competency listed in the Skill

Sets in this Section, RTOs are encouraged to undertake an efficient RPL assessment (in line with

CASA guidance in AAC9-66) to determine required gap training (if any) in order to provide an

integrated learning program for the units in the applicable Skill Set.

Examples of use

Example 1 – B1.1 Licence with Electrical Exclusions E1 and E4

You have a B1.1 licence that was issued with Electrical Exclusions E1 and E4. You are employed by an

airline working on Boeing 737 aircraft with experience on airframe and engine maintenance.

The first step is to look at the above tables and find the relevant exclusions. The first table provides

the units that have to be attained before you can undergo type training on electrical systems for

removal of the exclusion. You then proceed as follows:

Obtain advice from airline training staff as to whether or not you could seek recognition of

prior learning (RPL) or recognition of current competency (RCC). If this is a possibility, seek

assessment from a Part 147 MTO. If successful, you will be able to undergo electrical

training on the Boeing 737 and apply for removal of the exclusion.

If you require training, seek training for the Skill Set from a Part 147 MTO. They will deliver

the off-the-job theory and practical training for the listed units of competency and this will

enable you to gain and record workplace experience in your Log of Industrial Experience

and Achievement. Once you have covered the items listed in the unit Range Statements

you will be able to seek assessment from the Part 147 MTO. Once all of the listed units

have been attained you will be eligible for type training and removal of the exclusion.

Example 2 – B1.1 Licence with Electrical Exclusions E1 and E4

You have a B1.1 licence that was issued with Electrical Exclusions E1 and E4. You are employed by an

aerial agriculture operator maintaining Ag Tractor aircraft with experience on airframe and engine

maintenance.

The first step is to look at the above tables and find the relevant exclusions. The second table covers

the situation where you are working on non-type rated basic aircraft and provides the units that

have to be attained before you can apply for removal of the exclusion. You then proceed as follows:

If you believe that you have gained sufficient electrical training and experience to meet the

assessment requirements of the listed units of competency you should discuss with a Part

147 MTO the possibility of undergoing an RPL or RCC assessment. If successful, you will be

able to apply for removal of the exclusion.





you will be able to seek assessment from the Part 147 MTO. As the aircraft is not type-

rated, once all of the listed units have been attained you will be eligible to apply for

removal of the exclusion.


Example 3 – B2 Licence with Radio E8 Exclusion

You have a B2 licence that was issued with a Radio E8 Exclusion. You are employed by an airline on

Boeing 737 and Airbus A330 maintenance with experience in electrical and instrument systems.

The first step is to look at the above tables and find the relevant exclusion. The table is on page 38

and provides the units that have to be attained before you can undergo type training on radio

systems for removal of the exclusion. You then proceed as follows:

Obtain advice from airline training staff as to whether or not you could seek RPL or RCC. If

this is a possibility, seek assessment from a Part 147 MTO. If successful, you will be able to

undergo radio training on the Boeing 737 and Airbus A330 and apply for removal of the

exclusion.








You have a B2 licence that was issued with a Radio E8 Exclusion. You are employed by an avionic

maintenance organisation on a GA airport on the maintenance of non-type rated aircraft. You have

experience in electrical and instrument systems.

The first step is to look at the above tables and find the relevant exclusion. The table is on page 39

and lists the unit that has to be attained before you can apply for removal of the exclusion. You then

proceed as follows:

Obtain advice from a Part 147 MTO as to whether or not you could seek RPL or RCC and, if

this is a possibility, seek assessment. If successful, you will be able to apply for removal of

the exclusion.

and Achievement. Once you have covered the items listed in the unit Range Statement you

will be able to seek assessment from the Part 147 MTO. Once credited with the unit you

will be eligible to apply for removal of the exclusion.



You have a B2 licence that was issued with a Radio E23 Exclusion. You are employed by an avionic

maintenance organisation on a GA airport on the maintenance of non-type rated aircraft. Your

current licence privileges include electrical, instrument, communications and radio navigation

systems.

The first step is to look at the above tables and find the relevant exclusion. The table is on pages 44–

45 and lists the units that have to be attained before you can apply for removal of the exclusion. You

then proceed as follows:

Obtain advice from a Part 147 MTO as to whether or not you could seek RPL or RCC and, if

this is a possibility, seek assessment. If successful, you will be able to apply for removal of

the exclusion.





you will be able to seek assessment from the Part 147 MTO. Once credited with the units

you will be eligible to apply for removal of the exclusion plus E22, E24 and E25 should they

be listed on your licence and be relevant to your employment. This is because, through

attaining the two listed units, you also become eligible for the following additional Skill Sets

which specify the same units of competency (unit MEA221C covers the maintenance of

secondary radar systems which covers all of the systems covered by the listed exclusions):

o Radio – B2 Exclusion E22 Removal (ATC Transponders)

o Radio – B2 Exclusion E24 Removal (DME)

o Radio – B2 Exclusion E25 Removal (Doppler)


Example 6 – B1.1 Licence with Airframe or Engine Exclusion E12

You have a B1.1 licence that was issued with Exclusion E12 because you have worked exclusively on

the airframe and engines of aircraft with gas turbine engines. You have a new job with an airline that

requires you to certify maintenance on Dash 8 aircraft and need to have the exclusion removed.

The first step is to look at the above tables and find the relevant exclusion. The applicable table is on

page 40 and provides the units that have to be attained before you can undergo type training on

propeller systems for removal of the exclusion. You then proceed as follows:

Obtain advice from airline training staff as to whether or not you could seek RPL or RCC. If

this is a possibility seek assessment from a Part 147 MTO. If successful, you will be able to

undergo propeller system training on the Dash 8 and apply for removal of the exclusion.

Aircraft welding approvals

There is a Skill Set for each of the relevant aircraft welding processes in each parent metal group. An

individual can meet regulatory requirements for approvals by meeting the requirements and being

given a Statement of Attainment for the specific Skill Set that covers the welding method and the

relevant parent metal group.

The Skill Sets provide for the required welding skills to be delivered through the applicable MEM

code welding units (except for plasma arc welding where it has been necessary to base the skill

development on the MEM gas tungsten arc welding code welding unit). The listed MEA welding units

cover the test pieces that must be completed and tested for aircraft welding approval. Also included

in the Skill Sets are common MEA units that relate to aircraft OHS, publications, documentation,

work practices and quality processes.

Gas welding training and authorisation

Following is a Skill Set for training and authorisation to perform aircraft welding by gas welding for

each parent metal group. You will note that the list of units required is the same in each case, with

only the wording of the Pathway and the Statement of Attainment changing according to the parent

metal group. This means that for approval to weld an additional parent metal group you need only

to successfully complete the CAAP 33-1(1) test pieces in that metal group, as provided for in

MEA430A Gas weld aircraft components.

Appendix 6: Small aircraft – apprenticeship and progression to licence

General considerations

The circumstances leading to the development of the Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) and

the future use of this qualification to establish eligibility for the grant of B1 and B2 AME licences for

the maintenance of small aircraft are described in Chapter 5. This appendix provides guidance on

obtaining maximum benefit from the training pathways to the qualification through meeting the

workplace needs of diverse maintenance organisations.

Because of the diversity of aircraft types and maintenance organisations within the General Aviation

sector of the aviation industry, the Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) contains a large range

of elective units of competency. To minimise training costs, units to be attained during

apprenticeship need to be carefully selected in consultation with the chosen RTO. In so doing there

are a number of global considerations. These are:

The Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) can be delivered by any RTO that has the

qualification and relevant units of competency in their scope of registration. However,

since the assumed final outcome being sought is the grant of a B1 or B2 licence for small

aircraft maintenance, the chosen RTO should also be a CASR Part 147 MTO. You must

clearly understand that, from the middle of 2015 onwards, the outcome of obtaining

training from a RTO that is not also an MTO would be the need to undergo an RPL

assessment from an MTO before the qualification would be accepted for grant of a licence

and this would have to be paid for by either the individual or the employer.

When selecting units of competency it is important to realise that the assessment criteria

need to be attainable in your normal workplace. While the RTO will deliver the off-the-job

component and finally assess competency, there are few units where they are either

willing or able to deliver unit completion to competency assessment under simulated

conditions. Thus, the final assessment of competency depends on gaining experience in the

workplace and recording it in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement until the

stage is reached where the conditions for assessment in the unit have been met and

assessment can be sought from the RTO.

Should it be desired to attain competency in units where experience will have to be

attained in other workplaces the use of a Group Apprenticeship Scheme should be

considered.

The licence outcome against which the qualification was developed is the ability to release

to service a basic small aircraft with a single signature after a 100 hourly inspection. This is

represented in the mandatory units in the path to each licence category or sub-category.

Electives enable progression towards more than one licence sub-category or towards the

removal of licence exclusions for maintenance of more advanced aircraft, such as those

with retractable landing gear and those with turbocharged engines and constant speed

propellers.


We will now proceed to the consideration of a number of examples of maintenance organisations

that have been selected to represent reasonable industry coverage. The examples are:

organisation, such as a flying school or aero club maintaining fleet of basic small

aeroplanes, such as C150 and Jabiru

organisation, such as a helicopter mustering company maintaining R22 helicopters and

C172

organisation, such as a third-party maintenance company maintaining advanced small fixed

wing, such as Bonanza, Mooney and C310

organisation, such as an aerial work company maintaining helicopters, such as Jet Ranger

organisation, such as an aerial agriculture company maintaining turbo prop agricultural

aircraft, such as Air Tractor

organisation on a GA airport maintaining avionic systems and components.

Basic small aeroplanes

The aim is to complete the apprenticeship as quickly as possible and gain a B1.2 licence that will

enable certification of return to service with a single signature after a 100 hourly inspection. The

applicable aircraft types are assumed to be the Jabiru and the Cessna 150.

Now, please refer to Attachment A which is the Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) training

pathways and packaging rules as published in MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package.

For the qualification you will need 27 units made up of:

16 Core units applicable to all of the training pathways

the 8 units in Electives Group B

3 units from Electives Group F

Care needs to be taken in selecting the three units from Elective Group F. In this case, since the

Jabiru has a composite structure, one of the units should be either MEA367A or MEA405C. MEA367A

covers the repair and modification of composite structure using cold bonding. If your organisation

also uses hot bonding you should choose MEA405C instead since it covers both hot and cold

bonding.

For the other two units, look at the work performed in your organisation and select units that can be

utilised. If there are none, look for the least difficult means of gaining the experience required for

assessment. For example, if the opportunity existed to also maintain an ultralight it could be

desirable to choose MEA357A and MEA361A.


Helicopter mustering company

In this case, the assumption is made that the company operates a fleet of RobinsonR22 helicopters

and a small number of Cessna 172 aeroplanes. Therefore, the aim is to try and use the

apprenticeship to train individuals able to be granted both the B1.2 and the B1.4 for small aircraft

maintenance.

To achieve this end you require a total of 27 units and the selection of units would be (refer to

Attachment A) as follows:


the 8 units in Electives Group B for the B1.2

MEA352A in order to also complete Electives Group D (the other units in Group D are also

included in Group B) for the B1.4

2 units selected from Electives Group F. For example, if some of the aircraft are fitted with

HF radio, unit MEA206C could be useful to enable removal and installation of HF radio

system components. The other unit that may be of value could be MEA367A to enable

repair of composite structure using cold bonding or MEA405C which covers both hot and

cold bonding.

Third-party maintenance company

This organisation is assumed to provide maintenance services to the owners and operators of a

range of advanced small aircraft, such as Bonanza, Mooney and Cessna 310. The aim will be to train

apprentices who can be granted a B1.2 licence for small aircraft maintenance that can have

exclusions removed relating to turbocharged engines, constant speed propellers and electrically

retractable landing gear. If possible, twin engine electrical systems should also be covered.





The 8 units in Electives Group B

3 units from Electives Group F

Now, to achieve the coverage required, units taken from Electives Group F would need to be

MEAMEA202C and 210C (retractable landing gear), MEA306C and MEA313C (turbocharged engines),

MEA307C and MEA315C (constant speed propellers) and MEA277A (twin engine electrics). Thus, all

of the required units cannot be attained within the Certificate IV and the options for attaining the

additional units include:


Select the three units that are regarded as of greatest benefit to a newly-licensed

individual and include them in the Certificate IV.

Negotiate with the RTO/MTO for delivery of the additional units after completion of the

Certificate IV, at an agreed time and cost. This is the procedure for the progressive removal

of other licence exclusions where this is necessary for performance and certification the

organisation’s maintenance activities.

Helicopter aerial work company

The organisation is assumed to be an aerial work company that operates a number of Jet Ranger and

Long Ranger helicopters. The aim is to train apprentices who are able, on completion of apprentice

training, to seek the grant of a B1.3 licence for the maintenance of small helicopters.





9 units from Electives Group C (for the B1.3 licence)

2 units chosen from Electives Group F. In this case the chosen units would be MEA308C

and MEA316C in order to cover hydraulically boosted flight controls.

However, MEA308C has a pre-requisite, MEA302C which also leads to MEA309C to cover hydraulic

system inspection, testing and troubleshooting. This means that two additional units need to be

negotiated outside of the Certificate IV. In doing this, the overlap between MEA352A and MEA302C

and MEA309C (fuel systems), and with MEA308C and MEA316C (rotors and mechanical control

linkages) should be noted and allowed for in terms of training time and cost.

Aerial agriculture company

In this case the organisation is an aerial agriculture company operating Air Tractor aircraft. The aim is

to train apprentices who are qualified to seek the grant of a B1.1 licence for the maintenance of

small aircraft.





11 units from Electives Group A


In this case, the 27 units are fully covered by mandatory units and there is no scope for selection of

units from Electives Group F. Any additional units required would have to be negotiated with the

RTO/MTO as additional training.

Avionics maintenance company

The organisation is a company located on a GA airport that provides avionic maintenance services to

other organisations that operate and/or maintain small aircraft. The aim is to train apprentices who

are qualified to seek the grant of a B2 licence for the maintenance of small aircraft.





9 units from Electives Group E

2 units chosen from Electives Group F

The units from Electives Group F should be chosen on the basis of maximum benefit to the

maintenance tasks performed. For example, if some of the aircraft maintained are fitted with ILS,

units MEA206C and MEA216C would be applicable. If some of the aircraft maintained are fitted with

DME, unit MEA221C would also be required, but this would be beyond the bounds of the Certificate

IV and would need to be negotiated as additional training with the RTO/MTO. During the

negotiations, recognition should be sought for the overlap with MEA289A (ATC transponder).


Appendix 7: AME small aircraft maintenance

General considerations

The Certificate III in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) is intended for delivery through Traineeship and is

useful for training of AMEs where the immediate progression to eligibility for the grant of a B1 or B2

licence for small aircraft maintenance is not required. In terms of overall coverage it can be broader

than the Certificate IV (refer Appendix 6) because the units specific to the exercise of licence

privileges do not have to be included in the training pathways.

Specific examples of the uses of the Certificate III in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) are:

Where the early progression to a B1 or B2 licence for small aircraft maintenance is not

intended and the broadest possible coverage of maintenance activities is required.

However, if future articulation to the Certificate IV and licence is planned the choice of

units should take into consideration the Certificate IV pathways to the extent possible.

As a first aviation maintenance qualification for trade qualified individuals moving to small

aircraft maintenance from allied trades, such as motor mechanic or auto electrician.

As a qualification for existing AMEs who desire recognition of training and experience

through the award of an AQF Certificate. This could be useful in improving the ability of an

individual to move to an allied trade field of employment.

When selecting an RTO to deliver off-the-job training you need to consider the likelihood that you or

your employee will seek future progression to licence. Certificate III training may be obtained from

any RTO that has the qualification in its scope of registration. However, if seeking recognition of

units for licensing purposes they will need to have been delivered by an RTO that is also a CASR Part

147 MTO. If this is not the case, it will be necessary to obtain RPL/RCC assessment for units held

from an MTO, at the expense of either the individual or the employer.

We will now proceed to the consideration of a number of examples of maintenance organisations

that have been selected to represent reasonable industry coverage. These are the same examples as

used in Appendix 6 for the Certificate IV in order to facilitate the comparison of outcomes. The

examples are:

organisation, such as a flying school or aero club maintaining fleet of basic small

aeroplanes, such as C150 and Jabiru

organisation, such as a helicopter mustering company maintaining R22 helicopters and

C172

organisation, such as a third-party maintenance company maintaining advanced small fixed

wing, such as Bonanza, Mooney and C310

organisation, such as an aerial work company maintaining helicopters, such as Jet Ranger

organisation, such as an aerial agriculture company maintaining turbo prop agricultural

aircraft, such as Air Tractor


organisation on a GA airport maintaining avionic systems and components.

Basic small aeroplanes

The aim is to attain as many relevant units of competency as possible through the Traineeship to

support the maintenance activities of the organisation. The applicable aircraft types for this example

are assumed to be the Jabiru and the Cessna 150.

Now, please refer to Attachment B which is the Certificate III in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) training



14 Core units

5 units from Elective Group A

Care needs to be taken in selecting the five units from Elective Group A. In this case, since the Jabiru

has a composite structure, one of the units should be either MEA367A or MEA405C. MEA367A

covers the repair and modification of composite structure using cold bonding. If your organisation

also uses hot bonding you should choose MEA405C instead since it covers both hot and cold

bonding.

If you perform major structural maintenance on the C150 you may consider selecting unit MEA311D

which covers major structural repairs such as replacement of wing spars and fuselage frames. Core

unit MEA363B counts towards this unit and MEA311D counts as two units.

For the other two units, look at the work performed in your organisation and select units that can be

utilised. For example, it could be beneficial to select MEA274A and MEA275A to provide competency

in electrical and instrument work.

Please note that the above is an example only. You may select other units listed in Elective Group A

if you wish to. However, it is important to note carefully any prerequisite units and the selection

advice contained in the Table.


Helicopter mustering company

In this case, the assumption is made that the company operates a fleet of RobinsonR22 helicopters

and a small number of Cessna 172 aeroplanes. Therefore, the aim is to use the traineeship to train

AMEs who are able to maintain both basic small aeroplanes and helicopters.

To achieve this end you require a total of 19 units and the selection of units would be (refer to

Attachment B) as follows:

14 Core units

5 units selected from Elective Group A.

In selecting units from Elective Group A the needs of the organisation must be considered. For

example, units MEA351A, MEA352A and MEA353A provide for airframe and engine maintenance of

basic small aeroplanes and helicopters. To make up the five units, selection of MEA311D, which

counts as 2 units, would extend competency to major structural maintenance tasks.

Alternatively, it could be more beneficial to select, for example, MEA274A and MEA275A instead of

MEA311D so that competency is developed in electrical and instrument maintenance. All of the units

in Elective Group A are at your disposal in meeting the needs of yourself and your organisation.

Third-party maintenance company

This organisation is assumed to provide maintenance services to the owners and operators of a

range of advanced small aircraft, such as Bonanza, Mooney and Cessna 310. The aim in this example

will be to use the traineeship to provide AMEs for small aircraft maintenance who are also

competent to maintain turbocharged engines, constant speed propellers and electrically retractable

landing gear. Now, please refer to Attachment B which is the Certificate III in Aeroskills

(Mechatronics) training pathways and packaging rules as published in MEA11 Aeroskills Training

Package.


14 Core units


Now, to achieve the coverage required for more advanced small aircraft, units taken from Elective

Group A would need to be MEA351A and MEA353A plus:

MEA202C and MEA210C for retractable landing gear

MEA306C and MEA313C for turbocharged engines

MEA307C and MEA315C for constant speed propellers.

Thus, all of the required units cannot be attained within the Certificate III and the options for

attaining the additional units, should it be required, include:


Select the three units that are regarded as of greatest benefit and include them in the

Certificate III.

Negotiate with the RTO/MTO for delivery of the additional units after completion of the

Certificate III, at an agreed time and cost.

Please note carefully that the above is but one example and other units in Elective Group A can be

chosen in the five unit selection, as required to meet the maintenance need. For example, the

organisation may be required to perform major structural maintenance and some AMEs may require

MEA311D. Alternatively, some may require MEA274A, MEA275A and MEA276A for basic electrical,

instrument and avionic work (here, if the individual is attaining MEA202C and MEA210C for

retractable landing gear MEA274A would not be chosen because it is covered to a higher level by

MEA202C and MEA210C). In selecting units it is most important to carefully read the Elective Group

A Table prerequisite and unit selection guideline columns.

Helicopter aerial work company

The organisation is assumed to be an aerial work company that operates a number of Jet Ranger and

Long Ranger helicopters. The aim is to train AMEs who are able to perform the greatest possible

range of maintenance tasks relevant to the organisation.

Now, please refer to Attachment B which is the Certificate III in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) training

pathways and packaging rules, as published in MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package.


14Core units

5 units chosen from Elective Group A.

To cover airframe and engine maintenance the units required would be MEA302C, MEA306C,

MEA308C, MEA309C, MEA314C and MEA316C. This means that one additional unit would need to

be negotiated outside of the Certificate III. Alternatively, the best five units could be chosen, and

this includes other units listed in Elective Group A. In selecting units it is most important to carefully

read the Elective Group A table prerequisite and unit selection guideline columns.


Aerial agriculture company

In this case the organisation is an aerial agriculture company operating Air Tractor aircraft. The aim is

to train AMEs who are capable of performing as many as possible of the maintenance tasks

applicable to the organisation.

Now, please refer to Attachment B which is the Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) training



14Core units


To cover airframe and engine maintenance the selected units would include MEA306C, MEA307C,

MEA314C, MEA315C and MEA351A. However, any of the units listed in Elective Group A may be

chosen in the five units should they better meet the needs of you or your organisation. In selecting

units it is most important to carefully read the Elective Group A table prerequisite and unit selection

guideline columns.

Avionics maintenance company

The organisation is a company located on a GA airport that provides avionic maintenance services to

other organisations that operate and/or maintain small aircraft. The aim is to train AMEs for the

maintenance of small aircraft electrical, instrument and avionic systems.

Now, please refer to Attachment B which is the Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) training



14 Core units

5 units chosen from Elective Group A

The units from Elective Group A should be chosen on the basis of maximum benefit to the

maintenance tasks performed. For employment in an avionic company the applicable units would be

MEA202C, MEA210C, MEA275A and MEA276A, with one additional unit to be selected.


Attachment A: Units of competency and training pathways for MEA41011 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics)

(For the complete version of this qualification click on: http://training.gov.au/Training/Details/MEA41011)

Qualification notes

This is an alternate competency based training means of complying with small aircraft maintenance

certification licensing requirements during the four year period 2011 to 2015 while the CAR 31 Basic

Examination/Schedule of Experience avenue to licensing for small aircraft maintenance certification

remains in operation. Changes may be made to the qualification once a final decision is taken on the

form of small aircraft maintenance certification licensing.

The qualification applies to individuals involved in the maintenance of small aircraft within the

General Aviation industry sector and may lead to the grant by CASA of a B1 or B2 Aircraft

maintenance certification licence that is limited by exclusions to the release to service of basic small

aircraft. Where such an outcome will be sought, technical stream units must be chosen in

accordance with the requirements of CASR Part 66 (or in the interim CAO 100.66) for the applicable

B1 sub-category or B2 licence.

Through attainment of additional Skill Sets (as required to meet aircraft maintenance and

certification requirements), licence exclusions may be progressively removed by CASA.

Units in this qualification also provide a considerable number of credits towards other Aeroskills

Training Package qualifications at Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels.

Packaging rules

To be awarded the MEA41011 Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Mechatronics) competency must be

demonstrated in twenty-seven (27) units as follows:

sixteen (16) Core common, technical stream and imported units that are applicable to all

B1 and B2 licences that are limited by exclusions to release to service of basic small aircraft

eleven (11) Elective Group A technical stream units where a limited B1.1 licence is sought

eight (8) Elective Group B technical stream units where a limited B1.2 licence is sought

nine (9) Elective Group C technical stream units where a limited B1.3 licence is sought

eight (8) Elective Group D technical stream units where a limited B1.4 licence is sought

nine (9) Elective Group E technical stream units where a limited B2 licence is sought

Elective Group F technical stream units chosen according to the requirements of the

aircraft types being maintained to bring the total unit count to twenty-seven (27) units.
