Module Aims
This module aims to provide the students with the necessary experience of working in a regulated Part-145 MRO organisation by giving them the experience of preparing the maintenance activities in terms of the Maintenance Resources and Planning Management requirements. Students will rotationally take the lead on a maintenance activity by organising the workforce, project planning and preparing the legislative documents complying with the appropriate authorities.
Content Summary
Simulation training helps students experience real-world examples byadopting a learning by doing approach. This module requires the students to work in a team in conducting maintenance tasks in our aircraft hangar facilities. These tasks will vary from scheduled maintenance to fault diagnostics and repair of unscheduled tasks.
The module will require students to carry out maintenance procedures inline with the regulatory authorities'requirements and use the appropriate maintenance manuals to conduct the work in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer.
Each task will require the student to demonstrate that they adhere to the following technical standards
145.A.40 Equipment and tools
145.A.42 Components
145.A.45 Maintenance data
145.A.47 Production planning
145.A.48 Performance of maintenance
145.A.50 Certification of maintenance
145.A.55 Maintenance and airworthiness review records
145.A.60 Occurrence reporting
145.A.65 Safety and quality policy, maintenance procedures and quality system
The module will develop the key soft skills required by the aviation industry, including but not limited to:
Communication – written and oral
Problem Solving/Analytical Skills
Empathy and emotional intelligence
Teamworking
Leadership
