Airbus Aircraft Structure Repair and Maintenance Training - Advanced SRM

Airbus Aircraft Structure Repair and Maintenance

Advanced SRM Training Course

Course Code: AT-0007-00

64 Hours MS Teams Certificate Included

Course Overview

Advanced training for evaluating and repairing routine structural damage on Airbus aircraft, covering both metallic and composite structures with NDT techniques.

This comprehensive course provides trainees with advanced knowledge required to evaluate routine structural damage found on Airbus aircraft and determine appropriate rectification actions. It focuses on evaluation and repair methodology for both metallic and composite structures 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.

This advanced program addresses the gap left by aircraft type rating courses by equipping trainees with necessary knowledge and background to enhance confidence when handling structural defects on both metallic and composite structures, plus providing a general overview of NDT techniques used to diagnose, evaluate, and repair structural defects.

Learning Outcomes

Understand Airbus aircraft structure configuration in comprehensive detail for both metallic and composite structures

Frequently Asked Questions

Composite materials in aircraft are advanced materials made from fiber reinforcement (typically carbon fiber) embedded in a matrix (usually epoxy resin). Modern Airbus aircraft use composites extensively for weight reduction and improved performance.

NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) techniques are inspection methods that detect defects without damaging the structure, including visual inspection, liquid penetrant, ultrasonic testing, eddy current, radiography, magnetic particle inspection, and infrared thermography.

A bonded repair uses adhesive to bond repair patches to damaged composite structure without mechanical fasteners. Bonded repairs maintain aerodynamic smoothness and structural integrity.
