ENTA11014 - Avionics Aircraft Maintenance Practices

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Aircraft are built using a wide variety of materials and hardware, and they are maintained using tools and standard practices. This unit covers the materials and hardware, and maintenance practices modules of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance basic knowledge requirements syllabus. In this unit, you will develop knowledge of the materials and also develop skills in their use, carried out with safety precautions as a high priority. You will learn the fundamentals of design and construction of aerospace vehicles and the hardware used for structure and systems. You will learn about damage tolerance and repair techniques, plus common materials used in transmissions, control cables and electrical hardware, developing an understanding of engineering drawings, electrical wiring standards, aircraft handling, riveting, welding and soldering. You will also develop hands-on skills in these maintenance practices, using a variety of examples, gaining practical experience with different types of procedures, components and systems. This unit is delivered at Aviation Australia campuses by Aviation Australia staff.
