Section 3 EO C470.03 – IDENTIFY AVIATION HARDWARE

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.

The activity in TP 1 uses learning stations. Learning stations are a form of group work, where the cadets learn by sorting through the information presented. When setting up learning stations, ensure there is enough room for each cadet to be comfortable and adequate space for writing down information. When the cadets arrive at a learning station, all required information shall be available. These stations should be placed closely together to minimize time for movement; however, far enough apart to avoid interruptions from other groups. For this lesson, set up four learning stations for aviation hardware.

Photocopy the Aviation Hardware Handout located at Attachment A (one per cadet), Aviation Hardware Information Sheets located at Attachments B–E (one attachment per station), and the Aviation Hardware Identification Worksheet located at Attachment F (one per cadet).

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

By the end of this lesson the cadet shall have identified aviation hardware.

It is important for cadets to be able to identify aviation hardware as each type of hardware has a specific application. Using the correct type of aviation hardware during maintenance activities and the manufacturing of aircraft and aircraft components ensures that the design specifications and safety tolerances are maintained. Using the incorrect type of aviation hardware could jeopardize the safety of the aircrew, passengers, and personnel on the ground.

The objective of this activity is to have the cadets identify aviation hardware.

1.Brief cadets on activity instructions, to include:

2.Distribute the Aviation Hardware Identification Worksheet located at Attachment F (to each cadet).

3.Divide the cadets into four groups and assign a number to each group.

4.Have groups move to the learning station which corresponds to their group number.

5.Have the cadets complete the Aviation Hardware Identification Worksheet while rotating from station to station every five minutes.

It is important to circulate around the room to facilitate the activities and help the cadets as required. If possible, assign other instructors to aid with the supervision and facilitation.

6.Once each group has been to each station, have one cadet from each group share the information they recorded from the station they just completed with the rest of the cadets. In most cases, the groups will have recorded the same information for each station. If a group has listed different information, have them share their answers.

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

The cadets' completion of the Aviation Hardware Identification Worksheet will serve as the confirmation of this lesson.

Aviation hardware comes in a variety of types, each with a specific application. Using the correct type of aviation hardware during the manufacture and maintenance of aircraft and aircraft components is important to ensure that the safety of the aircrew, passengers, and personnel on the ground is not compromised.

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