This course aims to equip students with practical knowledge and skills related to structural maintenance and mechanical system inspections of aircraft. In alignment with SHT-66 & EASA Part-66 Module 7A (sections 7.8, 7.9, 7.10, and 7.11), the course is conducted in a workshop environment and focuses on the technical characteristics of riveted joints, analysis of rivet hole dimensions and spacing, and proper installation techniques to ensure structural integrity.
Students are introduced to the tools and equipment used in riveting and dimpling processes. Practical applications include tube bending, flaring, and end-forming operations for aircraft tubing. The course also covers the installation, clamping, testing, and leak-checking of pipe and hose systems in accordance with maintenance documentation.
Additionally, the course addresses the evaluation of springs within systems in terms of wear, damage, and mechanical performance, along with testing procedures and common failure analysis. Bearing systems are examined in detail, including cleaning, testing, lubrication, and failure diagnostics.
The operational principles, performance efficiency, and structural integrity of aircraft transmission components—such as gears, gear backlash, belts, pulleys, chains, sprockets, screw jacks, lever mechanisms, and push-pull rod systems—are evaluated within the framework of ATA Chapter 20 and Structural Repair Manual (SRM) standards.
All procedures applied throughout the course are based on digitally sourced maintenance documents approved by the national aviation authority (SHGM) and comply with manufacturer instructions and international regulations (SHT-66, EASA Part-66). |
