Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance - MEA20518
Nationally Recognised Course
Course Description:
The Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance course is designed for clients of airlines and other operators of piston, jet and turbo-propeller aircraft and helicopters who are required to hold a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (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 course, the client may apply to CASA for a Part 66 licence allowing them to release an aircraft to service.
This qualification consists of common units which are applicable to all the employment streams as well as Avionic, Mechanical and Structure 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 the Diploma of Aeroskills (Mechanical) - MEA50219 which is required to gain a CASA B1 Licence. There are four (4) subcategories associated with this qualification for maintenance on combinations of aeroplanes, helicopters, gas turbine and piston engines:
- A1 - Fixed-wing aeroplane with gas turbine engines
- A2 - Fixed-wing aeroplane with piston engines
- A3 - Rotary-wing helicopter with gas turbine engines
- A4 - Rotary-wing helicopter with piston engines
Practical Experience Requirements:
As outlined in the CASA Part 66 Manual of Standards section 66.A.30; an applicant for a Category A aircraft engineer licence must have acquired two (2) years of practical maintenance experience in carrying out maintenance on operating aircraft and in training. At least one (1) year of the practical maintenance experience required for an initial issue of an aircraft engineer licence must be:
- Maintenance experience on aircraft relevant to the category or subcategory for which the licence was sought; and
- Accumulated immediately before making the application for the licence
