Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will acquire the basic knowledge and experience of aircraft maintenance and repair. The knowledge is necessary for successful solving the operating reliability and aeronautical operation safety.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of material science, mechanical and chip lees working, welding and riveting.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work, where applicable excursions..
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Awarding the course-unit credit is based on the 80% presence at exercises and correct elaboration of homework. The examination has both written and oral parts. The written one comprises solving 2 problems, the oral one consist of answering 2 questions randomly chosen by a student.
Aims
Students will be familiarized with the purpose, typical technologies of aircraft maintenance and repair. Students will learn about repair methods of selective parts of aircraft.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
If presence at lessons is less then 80%, students have to prove elaborated tasks and completed parts from missed lessons. Missed lessons can be compensated in a very limited extend by consultations with the lecturer.
