Helicopter Aerodynamics, Structures & Systems (M12) - ENAC-IT

Introduction

This EASA Part-66 M12 module is tailored for B1.3 licensed aircraft maintenance engineers, focusing on helicopter-specific aerodynamics, structural design, and critical onboard systems. Participants will gain expertise in rotor dynamics, flight control mechanisms, transmission systems, and safety-critical components. With ENAC-IT approval, this course meets European aviation regulatory standards, preparing individuals for careers in rotorcraft maintenance, airline operations, and MRO organizations.

Course Features

• Helicopter Aerodynamics: Covers rotor blade aerodynamics, dissymmetry of lift, autorotation, and ground resonance.
• Structural Integrity & Materials: Overview of airframe construction, composite materials, fatigue, and corrosion control.
• Flight Control Systems: In-depth study of cyclic, collective, and anti-torque control systems.
• Transmission & Drive Systems: Covers gearboxes, freewheeling units, and main/tail rotor drive shafts.
• Landing Gear & Braking Systems: Understanding of skid-type, wheeled landing gear, shock absorption, and braking mechanisms.
• Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems: Analysis of servo-assisted control, pressure regulation, and system redundancy.
• Fuel & Fire Protection Systems: Covers fuel supply, management, and onboard fire suppression.
• Environmental & Electrical Systems: Study of cabin pressurization, heating, lighting, and avionics power supply.
• ENAC-IT Approved & EASA Part-66 Compliant: Ensures global industry recognition and regulatory compliance.

Target Audience

This course is designed for B1.3 licensed aircraft maintenance engineers, aspiring rotorcraft maintenance professionals, airline technicians, and MRO specialists working with helicopters. It is ideal for individuals pursuing EASA Part-66 certification or those seeking advanced knowledge in rotorcraft structures and systems for maintenance, troubleshooting, and regulatory compliance within EASA Part-145 certified organizations.
