This document is to be used as a checklist by curriculum developers to create awareness training for critical composite repair and maintenance issues. This document will not take place of training requirements for specific job roles of a composite repair technician or engineer. Purpose The purpose of this AIR is to establish a standard teaching checklist for an awareness course covering the critical technical issues associated with the maintenance and repair of composite aircraft structures. This document describes terminal course objectives (TCOs) and teaching points@ which in combination serve as a course checklist for organizations developing this awareness course. Field of Application The course is intended to address critical composite structural safety and certification issues as opposed to building specific skills among individual team members. Specific skill-building is outside the scope of this course and is not the intent of the contents of this document. Product Classification The organization and structure of the teaching points presented in this AIR is unique and is not considered part of the public domain@ and is subject to SAE copyright authority. The technical information contained in the teaching points of this AIR is regarded as common practice@ and therefore is available in the public domain. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funded the assembly of this information and the development of training course details. It has published the technical information as part of a more complete treatment of composite maintenance course material. The FAA retains the right to grant permission to any outside party to access and utilize the technical information assembled under the government funded program and subsequent revisions. The FAA shall retain the right to reproduce the technical information contained in this AIR document for its use and to exercise all the rights inherent with the information provided in this document without restriction. The FAA will not distribute copies of this AIR document to the public without prior approval from the SAE. Form TCOs@ in addition to subordinate objectives which support the TCOs@ indicate student learning expectations for each section of the course@ while teaching points convey items that should be covered within each TCO. TCOs are listed at the second numbering sequence (e.g. 3.1) in this document. Teaching format is at the discretion of the teaching institution@ and those objectives and teaching points which refer to laboratory learning environments are suggestions in teaching format only (e.g. section 6.2.4). In general@ laboratory exercises are intended to reinforce objectives and teaching points listed in other sections of this AIR.
