non-destructive testing, corrosion, material fatigue, aircraft handling, weight and balance
Abstract:
The second part of the course introduces all currently used inspection methods, including non-destructive ones, that are used in aviation. Focus is also on the issues of material fatigue and corrosion. Students are also introduced to aircraft handling methods and the effect of the environment on the operation of the aircraft. Methods of weighing and balancing an aircraft are introduced, including the determination of its centre of gravity.
Objectives:
To familiarize students with all the methods of non-destructive testing used in aviation. To provide a comprehensive overview of how to handle aircraft during maintenance, to introduce the processes of weighing aircraft and determining their weight, and to familiarize students with the environmental effects on aircraft operation and maintenance.
