Aircraft Composite Repair
AC001 Advanced Aircraft Composite Repair 1
Course Code: AC001
Duration: 10 Days
Course Fee: £2635+VAT
Course structure: 20% theory, 80% practical
This course is intended for those members of staff who will be carrying out repairs
on composite aircraft structures. It will give them sufficient knowledge to be able to complete the
repair to approved aerospace standards. No previous knowledge required.
The approach to composite repair and the recommendations given by manufacturers are constantly changing as more experience has been gained by the industry. The course content has been devised to respond to these changes and now reflects the current requirements for composite repair within the industry.
The repair techniques specified in the aircraft manufacturers’ structural repair manuals will form the basis of the course. These techniques can be related directly to a number of aircraft types such as the Boeing 747, 757, 767, 787, Airbus A319/320/321. The theory elements support and are appropriate to enable the delegates to understand the important principles and safety requirements of composite materials and produce quality repairs.
The techniques used are those currently recommended in manufacturers structural repair manuals and emphasis is placed on the requirements to adhere to these procedures. The importance of quality assurance is stressed throughout and attention is paid to the adoption of quality control procedures and safety within the repair process. The course satisfies ATA 104 IV objectives and SAE AIR4938 standards.
The course aims to:
- familiarise the delegate with the materials and techniques used to manufacture and repair composite components.
- provide the delegate with the knowledge to satisfy the appropriate health and safety requirements.
- equip the delegate with the knowledge and practical skills required to carry out sound and effective repairs on composite aircraft components, according to the methods recommended and accepted by the aircraft manufacturers.
- provide the knowledge required to interpret standard structural repair manuals and to relate them to a given repair situation.
- familiarise the delegate with a wide range of structural repair methods so they can find all the relevant information relating to a particular repair.
