Aircraft maintenance includes scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Scheduled maintenance includes the combined actions taken to reduce or eliminate failure and to prolong the life of the aircraft, aircraft systems, and components. Unscheduled maintenance includes the process of troubleshooting an aircraft, aircraft systems, and/or a failed component, resulting in a resolution. As an Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT), you will spend considerable time troubleshooting throughout your career. The skill of locating system defects through a logical process is an important asset and requires critical and logical thinking. This course will help AMTs to develop and enhance logical and critical thinking by focusing on reasoning skills that enable more efficient and effective troubleshooting.
