The part 66 requirements and the guide under part 147 do not dictate how the training schedule are designed. To provide some ideas of how other organisations conduct their training programs, I include some of the programs which I have the first hand knowledge.
A. Airline A.
The program is three year, combining work and learning.
- Year 1 - Basic Training
The students spend their whole year at ground school, where the students are taught the basic of aircraft maintenance. The sessions consist of classroom and practical. The classroom training include subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, aerodynamic, covering about the same content of the present module 1 to 10.
The practical elements include basic engineering, welding, milling and lathe machine. Students do not touch any aircraft, as they are considered to inexperienced to contribute to the production.
- Year 2 - Experiencing different areas.
The students are sent to the maintenance base. They are attached to operation crews. The areas include the toolcrips, workshops and heavy maintenance. The works on the tarmac are avoided due to the potential risk to aircraft departures timing.
The classroom sessions are provided by the government college through a block release program where students spend 3 month per year attending the classroom session.
- Year 3 - Sharpen the skills - This year the students are more focused. They are spending more time at the base maintenance and become part of the regular work force.
- Year 4 - Selecting the new home. Based in the company's manpower requirements, the trainee are joing their almost dedicated functions. Some may join the D check or HMV, some may be working in the periodic check doing the C check and lower.
Summary:
The class hours total up to...
1. Year one 40 hour/week for 43 week = 1720 hours
2. Year two - 40 hour per week for 13 = 520 hours
3. Year 3 40 hours per week for 13 = 520 hours
Total 2760 hours
The hours exceeds the EASA requirement.
