The subject modules are designed to fulfil the theoretical
understanding and practical application requirements for the
QCAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence Basic Examination for
B1.1 Turbine Aeroplanes and B1.2 Piston Aeroplanes. The above
curriculum design is subject to ongoing review and approval
by the QCAA. While the design will change the design objective
of meeting QCAR-66 requirements will remain the same.
The training courses provide the underpinning knowledge and
basic practical hand skills necessary to progress to a safe
competent engineer, capable of performing and certifying maintenance
tasks on Turbine and/or Piston Aeroplanes. Forty percent of
the programme is practical skills training.
Examinations (pass mark 75%) are carried out on completion
of each subject module and ongoing assessments are carried
out during all practical training, with practical reports
being completed on completion of each subject.
Theoretical instruction and related practical training are
conducted in parallel wherever appropriate. Visits to Maintenance
Organisations are scheduled to support the training programme.
The final three months of the programme will be conducted
within an appropriate Maintenance Organisation for structured
and managed training in an operational environment. This assessed
on the job training is carried out where base maintenance
activities will be regularly encountered in order to ensure
that the experience has depth as well as breadth.
The QCAR-66 Modules covered by the above curriculum are:
1. Mathematics
2. Physics
3. Electrical Fundamentals
4. Electronic Fundamentals
5. Digital Techniques / Electronic Instrument Systems
6. Materials and Hardware
7. Maintenance Practices
8. Basic Aerodynamics
9. Human Factors
10. Aviation Legislation
11. Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems
15. Gas Turbine Engine
16. Piston Engine
17. Propeller
