2. Aircraft type training levels U.K.

The three levels listed below define the objectives, the depth of training and the level of knowledge that the training is intended to achieve.

• Level 1: A brief overview of the airframe, systems and powerplant as outlined in the Systems Description Section of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual/Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.

  Course objectives: Upon completion of Level 1 training, the student will be able to:

  (a)

  provide a simple description of the whole subject, using common words and examples, using typical terms and identify safety precautions related to the airframe, its systems and powerplant;

  (b)

  identify aircraft manuals, maintenance practices important to the airframe, its systems and powerplant;

  (c)

  define the general layout of the aircraft's major systems;

  (d)

  define the general layout and characteristics of the powerplant;

  (e)

  identify special tooling and test equipment used with the aircraft.

• Level 2: Basic system overview of controls, indicators, principal components, including their location and purpose, servicing and minor troubleshooting. General knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject.

  Course objectives: In addition to the information contained in the Level 1 training, at the completion of Level 2 training, the student will be able to:

  (a)

  understand the theoretical fundamentals; apply knowledge in a practical manner using detailed procedures;

  (b)

  recall the safety precautions to be observed when working on or near the aircraft, powerplant and systems;

  (c)

  describe systems and aircraft handling particularly access, power availability and sources;

  (d)

  identify the locations of the principal components;

  (e)

  explain the normal functioning of each major system, including terminology and nomenclature;

  (f)

  perform the procedures for servicing associated with the aircraft for the following systems: Fuel, Power Plants, Hydraulics, Landing Gear, Water/Waste, and Oxygen;

  (g)

  demonstrate proficiency in use of crew reports and on-board reporting systems (minor troubleshooting) and determine aircraft airworthiness per the MEL/CDL;

  (h)

  demonstrate the use, interpretation and application of appropriate documentation including instructions for continued airworthiness, maintenance manual, illustrated parts catalogue, etc.

• Level 3: Detailed description, operation, component location, removal/installation and bite and troubleshooting procedures to maintenance manual level.

  Course objectives: In addition to the information contained in Level 1 and Level 2 training, at the completion of Level 3 training, the student will be able to:

  (a)

  demonstrate a theoretical knowledge of aircraft systems and structures and interrelationships with other systems, provide a detailed description of the subject using theoretical fundamentals and specific examples and to interpret results from various sources and measurements and apply corrective action where appropriate;

  (b)

  perform system, powerplant, component and functional checks as specified in the aircraft maintenance manual;

  (c)

  demonstrate the use, interpret and apply appropriate documentation including structural repair manual, troubleshooting manual, etc.;

  (d)

  correlate information for the purpose of making decisions in respect of fault diagnosis and rectification to maintenance manual level;

  (e)

  describe procedures for replacement of components unique to aircraft type.
