Explain how to analyze aircraft documentation in preparation for practical work sessions on aircraft owned by the IMA (2 light and 2 medium-haul aircraft). Documentation supports available on individual PC
The course consists of preparing students to read and understand electrical power diagrams on aircraft (28 V DC and 115 V/400Hz three-phase). Students will then be put in a situation on the DC9 to carry out electrical troubleshooting on a selection of practical work
Use of English documentation on the IMA aircraft: DC9, medium-haul aircraft. Practical troubleshooting in the presence of the instructor
Learn how to use the documentation available in our training center to carry out maintenance on medium-haul aircraft
Explain how to use the Structural Repair Manual documentation. 3 practical sessions involving the manufacture of an aircraft skin with a frame and 2 stringers + study of SRM-compliant repair solutions on the plate.
Instrument tests are carried out on test benches used in MRO companies, to put students in real-life situations
Students are made aware of the PART 147 standard, which stands for "center agréé de formation en maintenance aéronautique" (approved aircraft maintenance training center). Indeed, the aircraft hangar is subject to this standard to comply with the requirements necessary in aeronautical maintenance centers. Tools must be listed and stored in dedicated locations, the work area must be systematically cleaned and tidied up after use, and parts deposited must be labelled. Practical work is carried out in the training center's hangar on 4 aircraft: 2 light aircraft (Cessna 310 and 303), 2 medium-haul aircraft (Mercure Dassault, DC9). Videos are available for the installation and use of aircraft test benches
1 practical session with a teacher explaining the use of AMS. A virtual fleet of aircraft has been created to put aircraft maintenance into real-life calendar situations.

Maintenance center regulations
Managing maintenance personnel
Developing knowledge of PART 145 (aeronautical maintenance organization) and PART 147 (aeronautical maintenance training organization) regulations
Understanding the concept of airworthiness and its relationship with the regulatory context
The organization of international civil aviation
Aeronautical regulations, European authorities and regulations

Teaching method

Practical work on a PC with a fleet management software license (AMS)
Use of the IMA's aircraft documentation in English: DC9, medium-haul aircraft. Practical work on troubleshooting in the presence of the teacher
3 sessions of practical work in pairs in the presence of a speaker from Sabena Technics, a company specializing in aeronautical maintenance. The pair will draw up a work card using the same rules as those applied in MRO centers
Practical work carried out in a boiler room in the permanent presence of a teacher. Students are made aware of the use of safety equipment which must be worn throughout the practical work sessions (goggles, noise plugs, gloves)
Practical work carried out in the training center hangar on 4 aircraft, 2 light aircraft (Cessna 310 and 303), 2 medium-haul aircraft (Mercure Dassault, DC9). Videos are available for installation and use of aircraft test benches.
