Course Description

This unit of competency covers the skills needed to contribute to the design of aircraft systems (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and fuel distribution and supply systems), including modifications. It includes performance of the design process within the requirements of airworthiness regulators and documentation of the design process within management systems, such as configuration management (CM) and integrated logistic support (ILS).

 

It is suitable for people working within aircraft design teams or in maintenance support engineering organisations and those pursuing careers and qualifications in aeronautical engineering at the paraprofessional level.
