Qualifications to enter the program: 2.5 or above GPA, no exceptions, along with an interest in aviation.

Course Description: This course introduces basic information necessary for entering students into aviation maintenance technology. Emphasis is placed on math and physics, aircraft weight and balance, and Federal Aviation Administration (FFA) and manufacturers' technical and legal publications. Upon completion, students should be able to make basic computations, apply principles of physics, compute weight and balance, use maintenance forms and records, state mechanic's privileges and limitations and interpret maintenance publication.

Course Objectives: Students should be able to do the following at the completion of the course:

A. Solve percentage problems

B. Solve ratio and proportion problems to include compression ratio of an aircraft engine.

C. Solve square root and power problems.

D. Determin the volume of geometric shapes to include engine cylinder displacement.

E. Compute surface area of geometric shapes to include airfoil area.

F. Perform algebraic operations with positive and negative numbers.

G. Use the principles of simple machines, sound, fluid, and heat dynamics to solve shop related aviation problems.

H. Understand basic aircraft structure and aerodynamics for fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

I. Compute empty weight and empty weight center of gravity on an aircraft.

J. Compute new empty weight and new empty weight center of gravity on an aircraft.

K. Compute fore and aft extreme condition checks to include the computation of minimum fuel.

L. Compute loaded weight and loaded weight center of gravity of an aircraft.

M. Perform a weight and balance check on an aircraft.

N. Prepare a weight and balance report.

O. Demonstrate an understanding of the Federal Aviation Regulations and their applicability to the aircraft maintenance technician..

P. Exercise mechanic's privileges and limitations as prescribed by FAR 65.

Q. Complete required FAA maintenance forms and records and inspection reports.

R. Select and use FAA and manufacturers' aircraft specifications, data sheets, manuals, publications, and related material.

Instructional Procedures and Methodologies: Instruction may include, but is not limited to: lecture, laboratory demonstrations, discussion, computer-assisted instruction, progressive examinations, pop quizzes, reviews, and a comprehensive final examination. Students will be required to actually perform the tasks and complete reports on a plane at the Ozark Aviation College. Dates for this part of the course will be announced in the class and transportation to and from the college will be provided.
