| Aviation Electrical/Electronic/Instrument Component Technician Overview | | | Aviation Electrical/Electronic/Instrument Component Technician Overview This Occupational Standard for the Aviation Electrical/Electronic/Instrument Component Technician covers the tasks performed in the inspection, troubleshooting, repair, overhaul and testing of electrical, electronic and instrument components in a shop environment. Each block of activity is introduced by a description of the basic knowledge and skills required to perform the specific tasks. Also, each area of specialization has described the maintenance of specific types of units. It is expected that technicians will be familiar with all safety procedures and regulations affecting the work they perform. Work ethics play a critical role in the work performed.
