Overview
The Robinson R66 (Turbine) series differences type-training course includes both theoretical and practical elements covering the differences between the R22/R44 and the R66 Airframes and the Power plant (R22/R44 to R66).
A thorough review and explanation of the R66 Maintenance Manuals are provided with emphasis on routine maintenance and repair, where the R66 differs from the R22/R44 types.
Detailed description, operation, component location, removal, installation and troubleshooting to maintenance manual level.
The course complies with “type training up to and including level 3” as stated in Part 66 Appendix 111 and the course syllabus can be found below.
Language
Courses are taught in English only.
Course objectives
In addition to the information contained in Level 1 and 2 training, at the completion of level 3, the engineer will be able to:
- Demonstrate a theoretical knowledge of aircraft systems and structures and interrelationships with other systems, provide a detailed description of the subject using theoretical fundamentals and specific examples and to interpret results from various sources and measurements and apply corrective action where appropriate.
- Perform system, engine, component and functional checks as specified in the maintenance manual.
- Demonstrate the use, interpret and apply appropriate documentation including structural repair manual, troubleshooting manual, etc.
- Correlate information for the purpose of making decisions in respect of fault diagnosis and rectification to maintenance manual level.
- Describe procedures for replacement of components unique to aircraft type.
On completion of the theoretical and practical training courses the student shall be able to demonstrate, to the levels identified in the Appendix III syllabus, the detailed theoretical knowledge of the aircraft applicable systems, structures, operations, maintenance, repair and troubleshooting according to approved maintenance data. The student shall be able to demonstrate the use of manuals, special tools and equipment and approved procedures, including the knowledge of relevant inspections and limitations.
Course examination
Examination will take place at the end of the Type training course.
- The type training examination standard is to PART 66 Appendix 111 “Type Training and examination Standard”.
- The post course examination is of the multiple-choice type format.
- The examination is of the closed book type, where no reference material is permitted.
- The examination pass mark is 75%.
- There is no penalty marking.
As well as a minimum 75% examination pass mark, a 90% course attendance has also to be obtained before the student is issued with a Certificate of Recognition.
Duration – 10 days in total
Theoretical element (days 1-8):
