sealant application, corrosion control of components
and plumbing; riveting and surface crack inspection; update
maintenance records and documentation.
Aircraft Drawing
On completion of the module, students should be able to interpret
aircraft blueprint drawings, aircraft manuals and catalogues
prepare component drawing and pattern development.
Human Factors
On completion of the module, students should be able to
perform occupational safety, health and environment checks and
to minimize human factor error in aircraft maintenance.
Aircraft Electrical and Electronics System
On completion of the module, students should be able to interpret
wiring circuits, carry out termination of electrical wires, replace
wire looms, use and calibrate measuring and testing instruments,
and perform routine maintenance on AC/DC machines and
aircraft electrical systems.
Aircraft Instrumentation System
On completion of the module, students should be able to perform
routine maintenance and operational test on pitot-static system,
synchro, pressure and temperature systems, engine indicating
system, magnetic compass system, auto-pilot system, oxygen
system, electronic display system, stall warning system and flight
recording system.
Basic Aircraft Materials and Aerodynamics
On completion of the module, students should be able to repair
minor surface defects of aircraft sheet metal, repair corroded
sheet metal.
Aircraft Radio Communication System
On completion of the module, students should be able to perform
routine maintenance and operational test on radio communication
system, aircraft audio system, aircraft radio navigation system,
aircraft radar system and measure voltage standing wave ratio
of an antenna.
Aircraft Maintenance Practice
Students will undergo a 6-month On-the-Job Training (OJT) course
with aerospace industry to reinforce the skills and knowledge
acquired at the training institute and to develop competencies in
other specialized areas.
Life Skills Modules
Life skills in broad terms are the foundation skills and personal
qualities that an individual can transfer from one job setting to
another to manage and adapt to changes in technology and
work environments.
Electives (Course Specific)
TIG Welding
On completion of the module, students should be able to join
sheet metal and rebuild metal using TIG welding process.
Non Destructive Testing
On completion of the module, students should be able to
understand the working principles of non-destructive testing
(NDT) methods used for detecting defects in the aircraft
components/structures.
Robotic Fundamental
On completion of the module, students should be able to
programme an industrial robot to perform tasks such as pick and
place and sorting of parts, plan robot operations and troubleshoot
common and simple robot application system faults.
Basic Principle of Helicopter
On completion of the module, students should be able to
understand the basic principles of aerodynamics in helicopters
and the various types of rotors used to achieve lift. They should
also be able to identify the various parts of the helicopter and
mechanism and controls used in changing of blade pitch.
Metrology
On completion of the module, students should be able to
inspect, verify and measure engineering components according
to technical drawing using appropriate tools.
Composite Structure Repairs
On completion of the module, students should be able to perform
cold and hot bonding on honeycomb structures using fibreglass
wet and epoxy resin material (cold bonding) and wet lay up prepreg,
metal skin materials and foam core material. Students will
also be trained on inspection of damaged structures and post
bonding inspection and testing.
