About the Course

The Aviation Technology – Fixed Wing course provides aircraft maintenance engineers and aviation technical personnel with an understanding of the latest developments in aircraft technology, maintenance practices and aviation safety systems.

As aircraft systems become increasingly sophisticated, maintenance personnel must remain familiar with emerging technologies and their implications for aircraft maintenance, reliability and safety.

This online course examines developments in predictive maintenance, artificial intelligence, sustainable propulsion, avionics, automated inspection techniques and advanced aircraft systems. Real-world aviation case studies demonstrate how technological developments influence maintenance activities and operational safety.

The course has been developed to support the aviation technology element of continuation and recurrent training programmes under EASA, UK CAA and FAA maintenance regulations.

Course Content

The course comprises six modules:

1. Predictive Maintenance & Data Analytics

Explores the application of big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning to aircraft maintenance, including predictive fault detection, component health monitoring and maintenance planning.

2. Human-Machine Interface Safety

Examines the interaction between mechanical components and digital aircraft systems, including the safety implications of physical failures and unintended system responses. Features a Boeing 787 in-flight upset case study.

3. Sustainable Propulsion & Green Aviation

Covers emerging propulsion technologies, including open-fan engines, hybrid-electric systems, hydrogen propulsion, sustainable aviation fuels and fully electric aircraft.

4. Air Traffic & Flight Safety Systems

Explores developments in radio altimeter interference protection, ACAS X collision avoidance, ADS-B surveillance and next-generation air traffic safety systems.

5. Advanced Ground Operations & Maintenance Infrastructure

Examines airport surface safety technologies, drone-based aircraft inspections, augmented reality maintenance applications and additive manufacturing of aircraft components.

6. Advanced Air Mobility, Unmanned Systems & Flight Controls

Introduces electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, autonomous rotorcraft, advanced flight-control technologies, wing morphing and modern gyroscopic sensor systems.

Regulatory Relevance

This course has been developed to support the aviation technology element of continuation/recurrent training requirements under:

  • EU EASA Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 Part 145.A.35 Para (d)
  • UK CAA Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 Part 145.A.35 Para (d)
  • FAA Title 14 Chapter I Subchapter H Part 145 Subpart D 145.163

The course may contribute towards the continuation and recurrent training programmes of maintenance organisations operating under EASA, UK CAA and FAA regulatory requirements.

Who Should Take This Course?

The course is suitable for licensed aircraft maintenance engineers, aircraft mechanics, maintenance supervisors, technical support personnel, CAMO staff and other aviation professionals seeking to maintain their knowledge of developments in fixed-wing aircraft technology.

It is particularly relevant to personnel employed by Part-145 maintenance organisations and other aircraft maintenance providers.
