 Aircraft Technician Training

On the following pages you find the Aircraft Technician Training course descriptions. All courses are
available on request. Nevertheless to facilitate your yearly planning we have fixed dates for type training
courses all over the year. For details please refer to chapter course dates (page xx).

Course language is English. But fundamentally for all courses a real-time translation provided by an
experienced team of interpreters can be offered, please don’t hesitate to ask for details. All students who
have not employed an interpreter have to pass an initial English test at the beginning of the training course.
This is to prove that they have a basic understanding of English to follow the course. In case a student fails
this test Eurocopter Training Academy will organise an interpreter who will be charged to the customer.

Note:
EASA PART 147 requires examination and assessment in the language of the maintenance documentation!

General Information

Screenshots MBT - Multi Media Based Training

2.2.3 Training at Eurocopter Training Academy

Multimedia Based Training On the first day of the training course at our academy you will take a theoretical multiple choice exam to
prove that you have worked through the MBT and have acquired some basic knowledge. Don’t worry: After
having completed the MBT according to the instructions you should pass the exam without any problem.
After this exam you will take part in the theoretical and practical instruction. Once the course achieved (or
Web Based Training (type training) after the completion of the course), you will be awarded with an EASA PART 147 certificate

2.2 What is important for you?

1 Innovative Concept The integration of the MBT will significantly increase your benefit from the type training course. This diversi-
fication of learning method adapts to the different customers learning needs through innovative technology.
Starting 1st September 2012 Eurocopter Training Academy will adapt all technician type training courses to This new visual and auditive learning mode enables each student to develop his skills at his own speed and
new EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) requirements (see § 3.2). beyond the class.
Eurocopter is taking this opportunity to integrate MBT (Multimedia Based Training – see § 3.3) in the type
training courses. 2.2.1 Enrolment and Login
You will benefit from this modern training concept which is based on our 40 years’ experience in technician Two months prior the start of your training course you will get a message from Eurocopter Training Acade-

2.2.2 Working with the MBT
2.1 Overview The MBT is very easy to handle. You will be guided automatically through all chapters. The MBT provides
The complete type training course will consist in the following components: you with a description of all components and systems of the aircraft (level 1). Animations, simulations and
exercises as well as a library with the official maintenance documentation help you getting a perfect over-

3 Additional information Notes

3.1 Frequently asked questions

3.1.1 “What happens if I don’t want to do the MBT at home?”

In this case, you have to arrive one week before the official start of the training course. Eurocopter Training
academy will provide you with a computer working place in a classroom environment. There you can take
your time to study the MBT.

3.1.2 “What happens if my English level is not sufficient to follow a type training course”
In this case you have to hire an interpreter. Eurocopter Training Academy has a pool of experienced inter-
preters and can assist you at any time. You can of course arrive with your interpreter one week prior to the
official start of the training course and study the MBT as described in 3.1.1.

3.2 New EASA regulations

With Commission Regulation (EU) No 1149/2011 of October, 21st 2011 EASA has implemented changes to
PART 147 and PART 66.
One important change is that now a minimum duration for theoretical part of the type training is fixed. This
means that you have to submit to a minimum of:
• 120 hours (20 working days) of theoretical instruction for B1 type training course (airframe and engine)
and
• 100 hours (17 working days) of theoretical instruction for B2 type training (electrical system/avionics).

3.3 What is MBT

Multimedia based training is a learning tool that you can access via the Internet all over the world.
It provides interactive content as well as simulations and animations.
You will be guided through all chapters and at the end of each chapter you can do an examination to check
your progress.
In addition to the multimedia training course you have the possibility to meet the other students from the
course in a forum. And you have access to a library with the official maintenance documentation.
Moreover an instructor will answer all your questions via e-mail.
