Ageing Aircraft and Corrosion

Four Day (32 hour) Seminar, on-site only

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

This seminar is designed for all personnel who are responsible for the prevention and control of corrosion in aircraft and meeting SID and CSID programs for aircraft continuing airworthiness as effective on January 12, 1993. It covers the identification, treatment and future eradication of most common forms of corrosion and fully details the process of compliance with FAA 14 CFR Part 39 and those airworthiness directives requiring on-going corrosion inspections integrated with maintenance.
