However, the State and Territory authorities later decided that the content of units of competency already existing and listed within Appendix 6 could be amended to incorporate the new knowledge and that additional competency units would not be required. To bring about commencement of the new knowledge requirements, subsection 2 (2) of the original commencement provision of Civil Aviation Order 100.66 Amendment Order (No. 1) 2007 has, therefore, been modified. The modified commencement provision does not affect any commencement or registration that has already taken effect, but it allows the new knowledge requirements to commence on the day after commencement of Civil Aviation Order 100.66 Amendment Order (No. 1) 2011.\n\n3 Amendment of Civil Aviation Order 100.66\n\nSchedule 1 amends Civil Aviation Order 100.66.\n\nSchedule 1 Amendment\n\n\\[1\\] Paragraph 2.1, definition of avionic system\n\n> avionics system means an aircraft system that transfers or stores analogue or digital data using a wireless, data line or other data transmission medium, and includes the system’s components and connectors.

and\n\n(c) N is deemed to be zero years if it is 0 or a negative number.\n\n> Note For example, under sub-subparagraph 13.6 (c) (i), an applicant must have accumulated at least 4 years of practical maintenance experience. If the applicant under subparagraph 13.6 (e) took 4 years to qualify for an aircraft maintenance engineer licence under regulation 31 of CAR 1988 and has a further 5 years’ relevant experience, the formula A – B = N applied becomes 4 – 9 = -5 and no further experience is required to qualify for the category or subcategory.\n\n\\[11\\] Subparagraph 13.7 (a)\n\n(a) an applicant for a subcategory B1.1 authority is not required to demonstrate, by examination, knowledge of propellers in accordance with item 17 in Part 2 of Appendix 4 unless the authority is to include propellers;
