AMT 191

Course Description

Examines the government's involvement in aviation maintenance, and FAA regulations regarding aviation maintenance and approved training programs. Emphasizes the use of maintenance publications, maintenance forms and records, and technicians' privileges and limitations. Addresses aircraft weight and balance procedures and associated record keeping, aircraft drawings and ground operations and servicing. Prerequisite: AMT 191. Audit available.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Use aircraft drawings and other graphic information in performing aircraft maintenance and alterations.
  2. Perform a complete aircraft weight and balance procedure, including preparation of required documentation and records.
  3. Identify typical ground operation hazards when moving, securing and servicing aircraft.
  4. Demonstrate ability to read, comprehend and apply information contained in FAA and manufacturer’s aircraft specifications and other airworthiness directives and advisory materials.
  5. Identify and implement aircraft requirements for safe starting, ground operation and movement, servicing and securing.

Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

Evaluations by exams, quizzes and lab work.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.
