OBJECTIVES

By the end of this lesson the cadet shall be expected to identify CAMC IMLT activities.

IMPORTANCE

It is important for cadets to know about the IMLT because it may help further develop their understanding of aviation. Identifying the modules in IMLT may develop an interest in aviation which may lead to future opportunities in the Air Cadet Program.

CANADIAN AVIATION MAINTENANCE COUNCIL (CAMC)

The Canadian Aviation Maintenance Council (CAMC) is a not-for-profit sector council that represents and assists Canada’s aviation and aerospace industry with its human resource strategy, issues and solutions. With the participation of industry members, they develop and publish National Occupational Standards with supporting log books (for professional certification) and curricula (for post-secondary training organizations). They promote safety, professionalism and standardization through:

national communication with industry;

human factors and safety management systems training;

individual certification in 24 occupations; and

accreditation of training organization programs.

AVIATION MAINTENANCE ORIENTATION PROGRAM (AMOP)

The CAMC Leading Edge/Youth Internship Program provides students with an academic orientation and work-based experience in aviation maintenance and technology. The program aims to develop interest among youth in careers within aviation and aerospace. It also establishes pathways for the transition from school to the working world of the aviation and aerospace industry.

The Leading Edge program provides a school-to-workplace transition for students who are about to make important decisions about their future. This program provides stepping stones from elementary school, to high school, to post secondary education, to industry. Therefore, community colleges and industry partnerships are essential elements to the success of the program at each location across Canada.

The program involves an aviation maintenance curriculum that begins at the high school level and is completed at the college level. High school graduates of the program will be able to proceed directly into a college technician diploma program or enter the industry workforce with some aviation knowledge and skills.

The funding model, which was initiated in September 1996, contains three elements:

an academic phase comprising of classroom instruction and interactive multimedia based on the CAMC AMOP;

a practical hands-on phase with a local industry partner where students can ideally work on or around aircraft under the guidance and supervision of a qualified technician; and

a phase where students get to put theory into practice by:

working on/with aircraft or aircraft parts primarily provided by CAMC; or

by participating in the construction of available aircraft kit programs across Canada.

INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA LEARNING TOOL (IMLT)

The IMLT is an interactive aviation curriculum that a cadet can individually log on to and create profiles, complete modules, and ask question related to the aviation industry. This can be done on their own time, using their personal computers.

Distribute handouts located at Annex A and review the following IMLT log-in screenshots with the cadets.

The following steps must be completed in order to log-in to the IMLT curriculum.

STEP ONE

Go to the IMLT Website at www.camc-imlt.ca and click on “English” or “French” (Figure 1).

Teaching point 2
Explain the IMLT Modules
Time: 15 min
Method: Interactive Lecture

There are three IMLT curriculum modules.

MODULE 1 – THEORY OF FLIGHT

The theory of flight module establishes the basis upon which all aircraft fly. It includes the study of the atmosphere and the application of the laws of physics to explain how lift is generated and affected.

Module 1 includes the following topics:

properties of the atmosphere,

aerodynamic concepts,

forces acting on an aircraft in flight, and

control and stability.

MODULE 2 – POWER PLANTS

The power plant module examines the evolution, design and classification of various types of engines.

Module 2 includes the following topics:

types and characteristics of reciprocating engines,

piston engine theory,

piston engine components and accessories,

operation of reciprocating engines,

reciprocating engine operating systems,

gas turbine engine history and development,

types of gas turbine engines and their advantages and disadvantages,

gas turbine/jet engine propulsion principles,

gas turbine design and construction,

gas turbine engine systems, and

aircraft propellers.

MODULE 3 – AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES

The aircraft structures module identifies the principle structural components and how their construction is such that they withstand the loads and stresses of flight as well as methods used to prevent premature problems.

Module 3 includes the following topics:

loads and stresses imposed on an aircraft,

aircraft parts and empennage structures,

aircraft ground and engine support structures,

rotorcraft structures,

control systems,

electricity,

documentation,

inspection, and

inspections methods.

Distribute the handout located at Annex B to the cadets to review when using the IMLT on their own.
