Supervisor: doc. Ing. Karel Třetina, CSc.  
Supervising institute: LÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Students will be familiarized with the purpose, typical technologies of aircraft maintenance and repair. Students will learn about repair methods of selective parts of aircraft.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will acquire the basic knowledge and experience of aircraft maintenance and repair. The knowledge is necessary for successful solving the operating reliability and aeronautical operation safety.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of material science, mechanical and chip lees working, welding and riveting.
Course contents:
Aircraft operation, individual parts, service, maintenance, repair, examples of typical works. Commission regulation (EU) No 1321. Relation between maintenance and reliability. Management methods of maintenance and repairs. Basic characteristics of maintenance, methods of aircraft maintenance. Methods of look out for failures. Troubleshooting methods. Selection of diagnostic parameters, diagnostic means. Maintenance of airframe, engine and systems of aircraft. Repair of airframe, parts of control system. Calculation of spare parts inventory. Repairs of tanks, pipelines and composition parts, renewal of paintings.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work, where applicable excursions..
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Awarding the course-unit credit is based on the 80% presence at exercises and correct elaboration of homework. The examination has both written and oral parts. The written one comprises solving 2 problems, the oral one consist of answering 2 questions randomly chosen by a student.
Controlled participation in lessons:
If presence at lessons is less then 80%, students have to prove elaborated tasks and completed parts from missed lessons. Missed lessons can be compensated in a very limited extend by consultations with the lecturer.
