- explain how maintenance of aircraft engines is handled in an operational environment, as well as what types of maintenance that can be carried out on an engine when it is installed in an aircraft
- describe how improvements of the engine systems can affect the in-service reliability and put this in relation to cost for such improvements,
- describe the airline business current state concerning development, manufacturing and maintenance of aircraft engines
- describe methods that is used in maintenance of jet engines in an engine shop. For example cleaning, non-destructive test, welding, heat treatment, surface treatment, machining, balancing, mounting
- describe handling of details in different material e.g. ball bearing steal, nickel and titanium.
- relate the course content to sustainable development and environmental issues.
