This course will cover the following subjects:
Forms and Regulations – Class covers mechanics privileges within the limitations prescribed by FAR Part 65, manufacturers’ aircraft maintenance specifications, data sheets, manuals, publications, and related Federal Aviation Regulations, Airworthiness Directives, and Advisory Material. Students will write descriptions of work performed including aircraft discrepancies and corrective actions using typical aircraft maintenance records. Also, students will complete required maintenance forms, records, and inspection reports.
Materials and Processes – Identify and select appropriate nondestructive testing methods, perform dye penetrant, eddy current, ultrasonic, and magnetic particle inspections. Perform basic heat-testing processes, identify and select aircraft hardware and materials, and inspect and check welds. Perform precision measurements.
Ground Operation & Service; Cleaning and Corrosion Control – Start, ground operate, move, service, and secure aircraft and identify typical ground operation hazards, identify and select fuels, identify and select cleaning materials, inspect, identify, remove, and treat aircraft corrosion and perform aircraft cleaning.
Aviation Physics – Understand the principles of matter; simple machines; sound, fluid, and heat dynamics; work, power, force, and motion, including Newton’s Laws of Motion. Use and understand the principles of Aerodynamics and Theory of Flight.

Students will calculate and measure capacitance and inductance. Calculate and measure electrical power, voltage, current, resistance, and continuity. Determine the relationship of voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. Read and interpret aircraft electrical circuit diagrams, including solid-state devices and logic functions. Inspect and service batteries.
