A short-course for anyone with responsibility and interest in continuing airworthiness and maintenance - essential to both Civil and Defence aerospace.

Course structure

The course is delivered over 5 days, from Monday to Friday, and is mostly in the form of online lectures. Group work and tutorials are also used for a short maintenance planning exercise.

What you will learn

At the end of the course, you should be able to:
  • Describe the principles of reliability as applied in maintenance
  • Critically appraise the different philosophies for aircraft maintenance
  • Outline a maintenance management programme, including the control of operational standards, supply chain and cost issues
  • Develop a process for achieving continuing airworthiness management with the appropriate regulatory approval.

Core content

Reliability and Maintenance Processes
  • Reliability Centred Maintenance.  The process of analysing design, performance and failures of equipment in order to determine the maintenance requirements.
  • Maintenance Programme Development
Continuing Airworthiness Management
  • Aircraft integrity management by means of on-line systems e.g. health and usage monitoring, engine condition monitoring etc.
Maintenance Management
  • Outsourcing versus In-House Maintenance, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, application of “Lean principles” to Maintenance operations
  • Human Factors in Aircraft Maintenance
