Structural Repair Manual, damage recognition, assessment and reporting
Combination (Multiple methods) | Intermediate | 5 Days
Structural Repair Manual, damage recognition, assessment and reporting
The course will give the participants the basic skills and confidence in how to use the Structural Repair Manual (SRM) to perform damage assessment, to select repair procedure, understand the repair method and design repairs within the limits of the Structural Repair Manual (SRM). The course includes repair case studies that require the student to determine part identification, allowable damage limits, and detail metallic and composites repair options.
Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to use the SRM to:
-Identify specific airplane parts and locations
-Find allowable damage limits in the SRM.
-Types of damage that can be repaired using the SRM.
-Identify the differences between repair types.
-Design repairs for specific damage.
-Carry out a correct damage assessment and to report this in a clear, accurate and in the required manner by OEM.
-Indicate an exact damage location to the Aircraft.
-Be able to divide multiple damage, for example, a lightning strike involving multiple panels.
-Making a damage report.
-Proper handling of the paperwork
-Find allowable damage limits in the AMM and SRM
-Determine if composite damage is repairable by the SRM.
-Identify the metal skin and composite repair processes.
-Identify the composite ply materials, sequences and orientations for various composite structures.

Examinations
It will be required to monitor student performance throughout the program. Students will be administered a written exam following lecture classes and practical assessments in classes. The minimum passing grade for all written exams shall be 75% and all grades shall be recorded in the individual’s training records.
The examination and assessment will cover the principles of the applicable curriculum and consist of:
Written examination:
The written examination shall contain a casus based on a real practical scenario existing of multiple choice and open questions.
Reexamination:
If the student fails the written examination, they may request to retake a written examination.
Certification
Certificated covered by EASA 147 approved training school “Aircraft Maintenance and Training School”.
