Academy

Context
Corrosion needs to be addressed from programme/system/equipment inception to disposal. Corrosion prevention and control (CPC), implemented since the early stages, improves safety, and can result in a reduction of aircraft ownership costs.
Corrosion prevention and control programmes (CPCP) are developed by type certificate holders with the assistance of aircraft operators and regulatory authorities. 
This course provides engineers and maintenance technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a CPCP for transport aircraft.

Training items

• Corrosion basics.
• Contributing causes of corrosion.
• Forms of corrosion.
• Indications of corrosion.
• Inspection methods for corrosion. 
• Corrective actions.
• Preventive maintenance.

Training objectives

• Explaining the basics of corrosion and identifying conditions necessary for corrosion to occur.
• Identifying the forms of corrosion found during maintenance and their causes.
• Identifying indications of corrosion on aircraft structures and related inspection methods.
• Describing corrective actions to remove corrosion found and to repair damage.
• Identifying preventive processes and maintenance actions to eliminate or minimise corrosion problems. 

Administration

• Duration: 3 days.
• Deliverables: All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

Perspective participants

• Technical personnel likely to be or currently involved in structural maintenance or maintenance management on any aircraft type.
