8、 SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR4938B Page 2 of 36 1. SCOPE This is a general curriculum that has been developed to identify the minimum knowledge and skill requirements of a composite and/or metal bond repair technician/specialist. This revision changes the document from an all-inclusive curriculum into a mo

9、dular set of curricula. Teaching levels have been assigned to the curriculum to define the knowledge, skills, and abilities graduates will need to make repairs to composite or metalbond structure. Minimum hours of instruction have been provided to ensure adequate coverage of all subject matter inclu

10、ding lecture and laboratory. These minimums may be exceeded and may include an increase in the total number of training hours and/or increases in the teaching levels. Each curriculum is a subpart of this document. Part 1 is the General Composite Structure Bonded Repair curriculum, independent of the

11、 application. Part 2 is the Commercial Aircraft Composite Structure Bonded Repair curriculum. Part 3 is the Commercial Aircraft Composite Structure Bolted Repair curriculum. (Under Development) Part 4 is the Commercial Aircraft Structure Metalbond Repair curriculum. This document contains ATA104 lev

23、idered to be high school level courses. Evaluation of prior education can be accomplished by examination of school transcripts, by review of the training received through approved training providers, or by a pre-test. 4. EXAMINATIONS Training Providers will be required to monitor student performance

24、 throughout the program. Students will be administered a written exam following lecture classes and practical assessments in laboratory classes. The minimum passing grade for all written exams shall be 75% and all grades shall be recorded in the individuals training records. It is recommended to use

25、 a checklist to evaluate the practical assessment. The examination and assessment will cover the principles of the applicable curriculum and consist of: i. Written examination: The written examination shall contain a minimum of 50 multiple choice questions for 2 week courses and a minimum of 25 mult

26、iple choice questions for 1 week courses. The examination shall contain a minimum of 3 questions from each of the Topics listed in the outline for each Part. The examination will be closed book. ii. Practical assessment: The student must demonstrate to the approved training provider that they can pe

27、rform the basic tasks required to perform the applicable repairs. iii. Reexamination: If the student fails the written examination, they may request to retake a written examination. The written examination must not contain more than 20% of the questions that were on the failed examination. 5. TEACHI

28、NG LEVELS The following definitions of minimum teaching levels are derived from Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 147 and may be exceeded. a. Level 1 Level 1 requires knowledge of general principles and includes instruction by lecture, demonstration, and discussion, but does not include pra

29、ctical application or development of manipulative skill. This teaching level generally refers to classroom discussion and does not require practical application. Teaching aids or instructional equipment may include charts, books, diagrams, or other visual teaching aids. If a training organization ch

30、ooses to teach Level 1 courses incorporating actual components, the components do not have to be operational. b. Level 2 Level 2 requires knowledge of general principles and includes instruction by lecture, demonstration, discussion, and limited practical application, but does not include developmen

31、t of sufficient manipulative skill to perform basic operations. This teaching level requires some hands-on manipulative skills and their accompanying actual or simulated components/equipment, but still may be taught primarily in the classroom environment. c. Level 3 Level 3 requires knowledge of gen

32、eral principles and includes instruction by lecture, demonstration, discussion, and a high degree of practical application to develop sufficient manipulative skill to accomplish return to service (normal operation). This teaching level requires hands-on skill, as well as sufficient and appropriate i

33、nstructional aides to train the students to develop manipulative skills sufficient to simulate return to service mechanical skill. At this level, the teaching aids must be similar to or be the actual items of equipment on which the student is expected to develop required skill levels. A Level 3 subj

34、ect cannot be taught solely by lecture in the classroom; the appropriate training aids and hands-on experience must be used. SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR4938B Page 5 of 36 6. PART 1 - General Composite Structural Bonded Repair Curriculum 6.1 Scope Persons who successfully complete this basic training progr

35、am are considered to be able to perform bonded composite repairs to composite structures in compliance with the manufacturers repair documentation or other acceptable repair data.
