Program Description
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers identify problems and repair and overhaul aircraft structural, mechanical and electrical systems. Interpreting technical manuals, drawings and blueprints, and testing aircraft systems require mechanical aptitude, manual dexterity, a good understanding of computerized machinery, strong analytical skills, and the ability to read and understand service manuals. An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is responsible for ensuring the airworthiness of an aircraft, whether it is a fixed-wing airplane or a helicopter.
Transport Canada approved field maintenance courses for specific types of helicopter airframes and engines. Instructors have experience in maintenance under field conditions. Airframe and engine types taught are: Bell 204/205 series airframes; Bell 206 series airframes; Honeywell T53 series engines (Lycoming); and Lycoming LTS 101 series engines. In addition, online courses are available.
NOTE TO ALL APPLICANTS AND EMPLOYERS: Graduates of NLC's Basic “M” Aircraft Maintenance Engineering program receive a 25 per cent tuition discount on each Type Training course taken at NLC.
