SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Course Outline
Mathematics
This module covers the basic arithmetic, algebra and geometry that lays the foundation for equations to be used in the modules that will follow (physics, electrical fundamentals and electronic fundamentals).
Physics
The physics module provides knowledge of matter, mechanics, thermodynamics, optics and sound.
Electrical Fundamentals
This module provides the fundamental knowledge and basis for electronic fundamentals. The content includes electron theory, generation of electricity, capacitance, magnetism, inductance, transformers, generators and motors.
Digital Techniques
This module teaches data, logic circuits, microprocessors, fiber optics and digital aircraft systems.
Materials & Hardware
This module begins by covering the wide range of aircraft materials used, enabling students to apply their knowledge of atomic structure to understand the characteristics and properties of these materials. This module also provides an insight to components such as fasteners, pipes, bearings, gears, cables, and connectors.
Maintenance Practice
This module focuses on typical aircraft maintenance activities such as the assembly, inspection and testing of components as well as the associated tools, safety precautions and engineering standards.
Basic Aerodynamics
The basic aerodynamics module includes the atmosphere, aerodynamics and the theory of flight. Aerodynamic heating, area rule, factors affecting airflow in engine intakes of high-speed aircraft, Mach number, effects of sweepback on critical Mach number are all the part of this module.
Human Factors
Within a maintenance environment it is essential that human factors are taken into account. By understanding human performance limitations, social psychology, communication and the factors affecting performance, the likelihood of incidents attributable to human error are minimized. This module is compulsory for both B1 and B2 students.
Aviation Legislation
This module covers the aviation regulatory framework, certifying staff, aircraft certification and international requirements. It also includes approved maintenance organizations, air operations, certification of aircraft, continuing airworthiness, ETOPS, maintenance and dispatch requirements, all weather operations and Category 2/3 operations.
Aero Plane Aerodynamics, Structures & Systems
This module provides explanations of aerodynamics and all the main systems found in modern civil aircraft to a level applicable for those studying towards a B2 license. The topics covered include general concepts of aircraft structures, auto flight, communication, navigation, electrical power, equipment & furnishings, flight controls, instruments, lights, onboard maintenance systems, air conditioning, fire protection, fuel systems, hydraulic power, ice & rain protection, landing gear, oxygen, pneumatics, water & waste, integrated modular avionics (IMA), cabin systems and information systems.
Propulsion
This module provides the knowledge of aircraft engines at a level applicable for those studying towards a B2 license. It includes a general overview of turbine engines followed by explanations of engine indicating systems and starting & ignition systems.
