Unit of Competency | MEA434A - Weld aircraft components using the plasma arc welding process |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers the development of competency elements required to gain approval within the CASA or ADF regulatory systems to weld aircraft components using the plasma arc welding (PAW) process. Individuals will be authorised to weld specific parent metal groups, as specified in CAAP 33-1(1) Aircraft manual welding: approvals and qualifications or RAAF Specification Engineering W5003 Welders – Qualification for Aircraft, Missile and Aerospace Fusion welding. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | The unit requires application and adaptation of the skills and knowledge of MEM05044B Perform welds to code standards using gas tungsten arc welding process, to the PAW of applicable aircraft parent metal groups as specified by the Regulators.Individuals who have attained this unit and the applicable approval from the relevant Regulator for the relevant parent metal groups will be able to perform weld repairs on aircraft components or fabricate components where the applicable welding process is specified as PAW. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
