Students are given an overview of safe work practices as well as an insight into the history of aircraft maintenance. In addition, tools used in heavy aircraft maintenance are introduced as well as basic care procedures. A significant portion of the course is devoted to technical drawings as well as the Electrical Wiring Inspection System (EWIS).
