This course provides an in-depth exploration of materials, processes, and maintenance techniques critical to aviation safety and performance. Students will learn about the properties and applications of various materials used in aircraft construction and maintenance, including metals, composites, and non-metallic materials. The course emphasizes proper cleaning and corrosion prevention methods to maintain aircraft integrity and longevity. Students will gain hands-on experience identifying and addressing corrosion, as well as applying industry-standard cleaning techniques. Additionally, students will study fluid lines and fittings, focusing on the inspection, installation, and maintenance of hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel systems. Practical exercises will reinforce the importance of using appropriate tools, materials, and techniques to ensure system reliability and compliance with airworthiness standards.
