Understanding and Controlling Corrosion of Aircraft Structures

Instructor(s)

Description

Corrosion fundamentals are used as a basis for exploring manufacturing, inspection and maintenance procedures. Recently developed corrosion-related requirements and procedures for assuring continuous airworthiness of commercial airplanes are used as a basis for defining minimum maintenance requirements. Fundamentals and principles are also applicable to some military aircraft structures.

Target Audience

Designed for managers, engineers, maintenance and regulatory personnel in the commercial and, in some cases, military aircraft industry who are involved with evaluation or control of structural corrosion.

Fee Includes

Includes instruction, a course notebook, Principles and Prevention of Corrosion, by Denny A. Jones, refreshments and four lunches. The course notes are for participants only and are not for sale.

Fees: See fee information for individual classes in the registration column on the right side of this page.

Class Time

Class time: 28 hours • 2.8 CEUs

Comments from Past Participants

"The course was both informative and entertaining. I was able to take away knowledge for understanding and preventing corrosion that can be very applicable to my job in design engineering. I highly recommend this short course." — Michael Hickey, Bell Helicopter Textron
