Als Aircraft Structure Specialist inspecteer en repareer je beschadigingen aan vliegtuigen en componenten, zodat het vliegtuig snel weer veilig de lucht in kan. Je doet van alles met vliegtuigplaatmateriaal, zoals knippen, snijden, zagen, lijmen, klinken en boutverbindingen maken.
Bij composieten werkzaamheden gebruik je lichte en dure materialen als glas, carbon en aramidevezels en sandwich materialen. Deze materialen leer je te verwerken, inspecteren en te repareren.

Wat maakt deze opleiding zo uniek:
Na deze opleiding kun je niet alleen aan de slag als vliegtuigplaatwerker maar ook als composieten bewerker in de luchtvaartindustrie.

Acquire basic knowledge of sheet metal fabrication and repair. Sheet Metal is used in vast quantities on structural parts of existing Aircraft. The aircraft sheet metal worker should be able to repair all kind of damages.

Acquire knowledge in the field of component manufacturing and repair. This course teaches trainees what it takes to manufacture components from lightweight sheet metal alloys. They will acquire practical knowledge in component manufacture, inspection and repair.

Aircraft require scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and repairs on its structure. It is important that structural repairs are performed by well trained sheet metalworkers according to the best available techniques. Improper repair techniques may pose an immediate or potential danger.

Awareness of safety issues related to composite materials.

The utilisation of fibre re-inforced plastics (composites) products is increasing very rapidly. More than 50% of the weight of the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 consist of composite materials. Everyone that comes in contact with composites and/or composite components should understand what composites are and be aware of the risks involved.

Want to learn all about the basic principles and concepts of composites?
This training provides the (future) composites repair technician a solid basis to manufacture composites parts and perform inspections and repairs.

Do you want to learn what it takes to manufacture a component from composite materials? This course provides the practical knowledge in the field of component manufacture, inspection and repair.

Do you want to work independently on aircraft or aircraft components?
After attending the Level I and II training you will be ready to enter the Level III training course.

Everyone is confronted with corrosion on a regular base. Consequences of corrosion are not limited to the appearance of the material. Corrosion affects the material properties and may lead to dangerous situations and even to serious accidents.

Focus on Fixed wing structures: composites, sheet metal, corrosion control and sealing compound.
Do you want to enhance your skills in the field of composites and sheet metalworking with the focus on fixed wing structures? Develop the knowledge and skills needed in everyday practice.

Develop basic knowledge of GLARE repairs. Glare (Glass Laminate Aluminium Reinforced Epoxy (GLARE) is a combination of Aluminium and fibre layers. This course teaches you how to repair GLARE. Become a specialist and learn to make the right decisions.

Acquire basic knowledge of main and tail rotor blades repair. Helicopter rotor blades are flight critical components.
This course offers basic theoretical and practical knowledge of rotor blade maintenance, inspection and repair.

Focus on helicopter structures: composites, sheet metal, corrosion control and sealing compound. Are you working in helicopter maintenance and do you want to enhance your skills in the field of composites and sheet metalworking? Develop the knowledge and skills needed in everyday practice.

Develop the basic knowledge of hot-bond techniques

Do you want to learn how to perform high quality composites repairs in an efficient way? In this training course you will learn how to use the Hot Bonder properly ensuring the quality of the curing process.

One of the pivotal factors in aerospace maintenance is maintaining an efficient coating on Assets. Incorrect application causes inferior protective features of the coating. This leads to adhesion problems and surface corrosion. Proper painting preparation and application reduces the amount of expensive repairs.

Master the techniques to repair radomes. Today, radome inspection and repair are becoming increasingly critical. Repairing radomes to their exact specification is crucial to the preservation of their functionality.

Basic practice-oriented training in vacuum resin infusion
When compared to hand and spray lamination, vacuum injection techniques significantly improved the production of large structures. After putting the dry fibre package into the mould, it is covered with an airtight foil. Vacuum is used to draw Resin through the fibre laminates, impregnating the fibres.

High demands are made on today's aircraft with respect to comfort, fuel consumption and noise, above all, safety. Sealing seams and joints contributes greatly to this security. It is therefore important to train how to apply sealant compound.

Target Group
This course is designed for technicians, engineers, inspectors and all other personnel involved in sealant application

Understand general rules and principles of the SRM.
