The purpose of this paper is to create up-to-date aviation legislations study material focused on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances, and on the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks for future students of aircraft maintenance technology at the Air Transport Department, FPEDAS of the University of Žilina. As a relatively new studying programme, it has a lack of study materials in the field of aviation legislation, mainly in the field of aviation maintenance, whether in terms of technical requirements of aircrafts airworthiness or their certification. The first chapter of the paper is focused on a brief acquaintance with the history of aircraft maintenance and procedures applied in aircraft maintenance. We point to the modern history of aircraft maintenance, including EU legislation. In the second chapter, the work focuses on the international legal regulation of this issue as well as on the position of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the European Civil Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and their activities in this area. In the following chapters, the paper deals with the current regulations of the EU Commission and Parts important not only for aircraft maintenance technicians, but also for training organizations in the field of aviation maintenance. In the end the paper deals with legislation necessary for the certification of an aircraft and requirements that are applied in the operation procedures of any civil aircraft for the purposes of commercial air transport.

Inspection And Maintenance

Research on civil aircraft inspection and maintenance has shown the importance of teamwork in completing aircraft inspection and maintenance tasks. Training has been identified as one of the primary intervention strategies in improving team performance. If training is to be successful, it is clear that we need to provide aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) with training tools to help enhance their team skills and improve team performance within the aircraft inspection/maintenance environment. In response to this need, this paper describes the development of a computer-based multimedia team training tool, the Aircraft Maintenance Team Training (AMTT) software.

Diploma Program

The high demand of aircraft maintenance technicians in Indonesia, present challenges to higher education practitioners. In 2015, Indonesia requires at least 6500 aircraft maintenance technicians as the estimated   number of active technicians in 2015 is about 3700 technicians, and the number is decreasing due to the retirement. Current institutions which offer the education and training program have the capability to train up to 840 technicians. The Department of Aeronautical Engineering, University of Suryadarma, has redesigned the curriculum and syllabi of the program to match the needs of the aircraft maintenance industry. The approach is to introduce the standard competency, as required by the industry, in accordance with the framework of curriculum standard design for the diploma program. The industry standard competency for aircraft maintenance technician is based on the CASR (Civil Aviation Safety Regulations) Part 147 and, CASR Part 65 recommended by DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation), the Ministry of Transportation of The Republic of Indonesia, and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Document 7192. The Framework of curriculum design for diploma program is following the Republic of Indonesian Law No. 12 of 2012 for Higher Education, Presidential Decree of The Republic of Indonesia No. 8 of 2012 for IQF (Indonesian Qualification Framework).  This paper presents the recommended expected learning outcome and operational curriculum that satisfies the standard competency of aircraft maintenance technician, within the framework of standard curriculum design for the diploma program.

Air Force Research Laboratory

The Aircraft Maintenance Intuitive Troubleshooting (AMIT) project is a three-year Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) effort headed by the Logistics Readiness Branch, Warfighter Readiness Research Division, Human Effectiveness Directorate (HEAL) through NCI Information Systems, Inc, with the support of the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI). AMIT's goal is to support aircraft maintenance technicians by providing the right information, appropriate to their experience level, so they will more efficiently and effectively complete their task. Multiple data collection strategies were adopted, including an extensive literature review, a series of process interviews, and a progression of CTA interviews. The CTA effort was designed to capture where the process is inadequate or breaks down. Areas of the maintenance process identified as most challenging includes debrief, problem duplication, and troubleshooting. Resulting design recommendations include Graphical System Representations, electronic technical orders, electronic wiring diagrams, access to other information sources, and application of case based reasoning.

For technical communications in international civil aviation maintenance, most manufacturers have adopted a restricted language: Simplified English (SE). This uses a standard vocabulary and syntax rules with the aim of improving understanding, particularly for people with restricted abilities in English. This paper describes the first test of the efficacy of Simplified English for comprehension of documentation used at the worksite by Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs). Sixteen workcards, representing two levels of difficulty (Easy and Difficult), two levels of language (SE and Non-SE) and two levels of document layout (standard and revised) were tested on 175 practicing AMTs in a between subject design using a comprehension test. Comprehension was significantly improved with Simplified English, particularly for the Difficult workcards and for non-native English speakers. No effects of layout were found.
