This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to identify and apply basic avionic scientific principles and techniques to avionic engineering situations. This includes identifying the range of basic avionic scientific principles and techniques, selecting avionic principles and techniques for particular applications, applying avionic principles and techniques to engineering tasks, and quoting results appropriately.

This unit applies to members of a design and development team or similar who support the design and development of avionic applications, or to those working within a maintenance organisation engineering department.

The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA).

Any other relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
