Section 1 EO C470.01 – DISCUSS AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURERS

Resources needed for the delivery of this lesson are listed in the lesson specification located in A-CR-CCP-804/PG-001, Proficiency Level Four Qualification Standard and Plan, Chapter 4. Specific uses for said resources are identified throughout the instructional guide within the TP for which they are required.

Review the lesson content and become familiar with the material prior to delivering the lesson.

Prepare the list of international partnerships located at Attachment A by photocopying the list and cutting the sections apart to distribute to the cadets.

Photocopy the International Partnership Summary Sheet located at Attachment B for each cadet.

Photocopy the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Manufacturers Worksheet located at Attachment C for each cadet.

UAVs are continuously changing. The information presented in Reference C3-324 may be used as a starting point in researching current UAVs and UAV manufacturers. Research current UAVs and UAV manufacturers and collect information on two or three UAVs from newspapers, magazines, journals or websites to present in TP 2. The Aircraft page on the Air Force website (http://www.airforce.gc.ca) may include information on UAVs used by the Canadian Forces.

At least one week before the lesson, assign each cadet (or have each cadet select) an international partnership from the list of international partnerships located at Attachment A. Distribute an International Partnership Summary Sheet located at Attachment B to each cadet. Have the cadets review and research the international partnership details and prepare a short oral presentation (approximately 2–5 minutes) using the International Partnership Summary Sheet located at Attachment B.

An in-class activity was chosen for TP 1 as it is an interactive way to provoke thought and stimulate interest among cadets.

An interactive lecture was chosen for TP 2 to identify UAV manufacturers.

By the end of this lesson the cadet shall have discussed international partnerships between aircraft manufacturers and identified UAV manufacturers.

It is important for cadets to discuss international partnerships between aircraft manufacturers as Canada is a leading exporter of advanced technology and is the fourth largest producer of civil aircraft in the world. It is important for cadets to identify UAV manufacturers as UAVs are a relatively new technology and are rapidly becoming more important in aviation, especially military aviation.

The objective of this activity is have the cadets review a summary of an international partnership between aircraft manufacturers and make a short oral presentation on the international partnership.

Nil.

Have each cadet make a short oral presentation (approximately 2–5 minutes) to the group on their selected / assigned international partnership using the information they have recorded on the International Partnership Summary Sheet.

If there is not enough time for all the cadets to make their presentations, the cadets can be divided into two or more groups.

The cadets' participation in the activity will serve as the confirmation of this TP.

The cadets' completion of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Manufacturers Worksheet will serve as the confirmation of this TP.

The cadets' participation in presenting the information on an international manufacturing partnership will serve as the confirmation of this lesson.

Canada is one of the world's leading suppliers of aviation technology. International partnerships between Canadian aviation manufacturers and those in other countries results in 85 percent of the aviation production being sold internationally. The use of UAVs, especially in military aviation, is growing rapidly and the manufacturing of UAVs is becoming an important sector in aviation manufacturing.

Cadets who are qualified Advanced Aviation Technology – Aircraft Manufacturing and Maintenance may be able to assist with this lesson.
