RULE §127.890Aircraft Maintenance Technology (One Credit), Adopted 2024

    (D) explain engine starting, ground operation, and aircraft taxiing procedures;

    (E) explain airport operation area procedures and air traffic control communications, including runway incursion prevention;

    (F) identify the types and classes of fire extinguishers;

    (G) analyze the importance of proper tool and hardware use and accountability;

    (H) describe the need for proper material handling and parts protection;

    (I) identify hazardous materials, locate the appropriate safety data sheet (SDS), and select the indicated personal protection equipment (PPE); and

    (J) analyze and describe the potential effects of foreign object damage (FOD) on aircraft.

  (21) The student uses regulatory and industry standards and demonstrates technical knowledge and skills for ground operations and servicing, utilizing aircraft, aircraft training devices, or equivalent simulated situations. The student is expected to:

    (A) perform a foreign object damage (FOD) control procedure;

    (B) connect external power to an aircraft;

    (C) prepare an aircraft for towing;

    (D) use appropriate hand signals for the movement of aircraft;

    (E) identify different grades of aviation fuel and select an approved fuel for an aircraft;

    (F) prepare an aircraft for fueling and inspect an aircraft fuel system for water and foreign object debris (FOD) contamination;

    (G) follow a checklist to start up or shut down an aircraft reciprocating or turbine engine;

    (H) identify procedures for extinguishing fires in an engine induction system;

    (I) secure an aircraft by locating and following the correct procedures for a turbine-powered aircraft after engine shutdown; and

    (J) locate and explain procedures for securing a turbine-powered aircraft after engine shutdown.

  (22) The student relates academic skills to the requirements of cleaning and corrosion control. The student is expected to:

    (A) explain the need for aircraft cleaning procedures;

    (B) explain corrosion theory, including types and effects of corrosion, corrosion-prone areas in aircraft, and corrosion preventive maintenance procedures;

    (C) describe corrosion identification and inspection techniques, corrosion removal and treatment procedures, the selection of optimal corrosion preventive compounds (CPC), and the frequency of corrosion treatment;

    (D) describe the use of high-pressure application equipment;

    (E) identify and discuss the effects of improper use of cleaners on aluminum or composite materials;

    (F) explain accelerated corrosion caused by dissimilar metals and the role of protective barriers, including conversion coatings, materials used for protection of airframe structures, and primer materials, to mitigate this risk;

    (G) identify topcoat materials and discuss concerns regarding surface preparation for a desired finishing material, effects of ambient conditions on finishing materials, and effects of improper surface preparation on finishing materials; and

    (H) identify health concerns when using paints, solvents, and finishing materials and processes, including the use of PPE.

  (23) The student uses regulatory and industry standards and demonstrates technical knowledge and skills for cleaning and corrosion control, utilizing aircraft, aircraft training devices, or equivalent simulated situations. The student is expected to:

    (A) identify types of protective finishes;

    (B) inspect finishes for corrosion and identify, select, and use aircraft corrosion prevention and cleaning materials; and

    (C) apply aircraft corrosion prevention and coating materials.
