Airbus SRM Training | Aircraft Structure Repair and Maintenance

Q: What types of structural damage are covered in this course?

This course covers typical structural damage including dents, scratches, nicks, marks, corrosion, cracks, and impact damage on metallic components found during routine maintenance on Airbus aircraft.

Course Overview

Master the essentials of Airbus aircraft structural repair with comprehensive training on damage assessment and rectification using the Structure Repair Manual (SRM).

This course provides trainees with the knowledge required to evaluate routine structural damage found on Airbus aircraft and determine appropriate rectification actions. It focuses on evaluation and repair methodology to be followed whenever structural damage is discovered during maintenance.

Through real-life examples of damages commonly found during routine maintenance, trainees will learn how to assess and decide on rectification actions using appropriate documentation, particularly the SRM, with support from experienced instructors throughout the learning process.

Since aircraft type rating courses do not adequately emphasize aircraft structure maintenance, this training program addresses this gap by equipping trainees with necessary knowledge and background to enhance confidence when handling structural defects.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Airbus Structure Repair Manual (SRM) is the official documentation providing approved procedures for repairing structural damage on Airbus aircraft. It contains repair schemes, damage limits, material specifications, and step-by-step instructions for various types of structural repairs. This course teaches you how to navigate and effectively use the SRM for damage assessment and repair planning.

This course covers typical structural damage found during routine maintenance on Airbus aircraft including dents, scratches, nicks, marks, corrosion, cracks, and impact damage on metallic components. You'll learn to assess damage severity, measure and record findings, determine repair requirements, and select appropriate repair schemes from the SRM.

No prior structural repair experience is required for this basic course. However, general aircraft maintenance experience is beneficial. The course starts with fundamentals of aircraft structure design and progressively builds knowledge through documentation familiarization, damage assessment techniques, and SRM repair procedures. It's designed to fill the gap left by type rating courses.

Structural damage assessment is the systematic process of inspecting, measuring, classifying, and evaluating damage to aircraft structure to determine airworthiness impact and required corrective action. This includes identifying damage type and location, measuring dimensions, comparing against allowable limits, determining repair category (temporary or permanent), and selecting appropriate repair procedures from manufacturer documentation.

Corrosion is the chemical deterioration of aircraft structural materials, typically aluminum alloys, caused by environmental exposure. Common types include surface corrosion, pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. This course covers corrosion identification, classification, measurement, assessment of structural impact, prevention techniques, and appropriate repair or removal procedures according to Airbus standards.

Temporary repairs are time-limited solutions designed to restore aircraft to service quickly while permanent repair is arranged. They have operational or calendar life limitations specified in the SRM. Permanent repairs are designed for the aircraft's operational life with no time limitations. This course teaches you how to select appropriate repair types based on damage severity, operational requirements, and SRM guidance.

This course covers fundamental principles applicable to all Airbus commercial aircraft families including A320, A330, A340, A350, and A380 series. While specific repair procedures may vary by aircraft type, the core concepts of structure design, documentation usage, damage assessment methodology, and SRM application are consistent across the Airbus fleet. The course uses real-life examples from various aircraft types.

This course provides the knowledge foundation for structural repair work, but actual repair authorization requires additional qualifications including Part-66 license ratings, organizational approvals, and specific task authorizations from your employer. The course equips you with essential knowledge to assess damage, interpret SRM procedures, and make informed decisions about structural repairs under appropriate supervision and authorization.
