2. Aircraft type training levels

The three levels listed below define the objectives, the depth of training and the level of knowledge that the training is intended to achieve. Level 1: A brief overview of the airframe, systems and powerplant as outlined in the Systems Description Section of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual/Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. Course objectives: Upon completion of Level 1 training, the student will be able to:

(a)provide a simple description of the whole subject, using common words and examples, using typical terms and identify safety precautions related to the airframe, its systems and powerplant;

(b)identify aircraft manuals, maintenance practices important to the airframe, its systems and powerplant;

(c)define the general layout of the aircraft's major systems;

(d)define the general layout and characteristics of the powerplant;

(e)identify special tooling and test equipment used with the aircraft. Level 2: Basic system overview of controls, indicators, principal components, including their location and purpose, servicing and minor troubleshooting. General knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. Course objectives: In addition to the information contained in the Level 1 training, at the completion of Level 2 training, the student will be able to:

(a)understand the theoretical fundamentals; apply knowledge in a practical manner using detailed procedures;

(b)recall the safety precautions to be observed when working on or near the aircraft, powerplant and systems;

(c)describe systems and aircraft handling particularly access, power availability and sources;

(d)identify the locations of the principal components;

(e)explain the normal functioning of each major system, including terminology and nomenclature;

(f)perform the procedures for servicing associated with the aircraft for the following systems: Fuel, Power Plants, Hydraulics, Landing Gear, Water/Waste, and Oxygen;

(g)demonstrate proficiency in use of crew reports and on-board reporting systems (minor troubleshooting) and determine aircraft airworthiness per the MEL/CDL;

(h)demonstrate the use, interpretation and application of appropriate documentation including instructions for continued airworthiness, maintenance manual, illustrated parts catalogue, etc. Level 3: Detailed description, operation, component location, removal/installation and bite and troubleshooting procedures to maintenance manual level. Course objectives: In addition to the information contained in Level 1 and Level 2 training, at the completion of Level 3 training, the student will be able to:

(a)demonstrate a theoretical knowledge of aircraft systems and structures and interrelationships with other systems, provide a detailed description of the subject using theoretical fundamentals and specific examples and to interpret results from various sources and measurements and apply corrective action where appropriate;

(b)perform system, powerplant, component and functional checks as specified in the aircraft maintenance manual;

(c)demonstrate the use, interpret and apply appropriate documentation including structural repair manual, troubleshooting manual, etc.;

(d)correlate information for the purpose of making decisions in respect of fault diagnosis and rectification to maintenance manual level;

(e)describe procedures for replacement of components unique to aircraft type.
