Iran CAO Part-66 AMT Theory · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems & Helicopter Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems

  • Map the 28% aeroplane and 27% helicopter syllabi into a single checklist that separates shared content (flight controls, hydraulics, pneumatics, air conditioning, pressurisation, fuel, electrics, ice and rain protection, landing gear, oxygen, fire protection) from type-specific content

  • Explain in writing how a transport-category aeroplane generates and controls lift, drag, thrust and weight across takeoff, climb, cruise and approach, naming the primary and secondary flight controls involved

  • Describe the helicopter main rotor, tail rotor and swashplate control chain from cyclic, collective and pedals through to blade pitch change, and state how retreating-blade stall and dissymmetry of lift are managed

  • Sketch from memory the layout of a typical aeroplane hydraulic system and a typical helicopter hydraulic system, labelling reservoir, pump, accumulator, filter, selector valve and actuator

Your checkpoint

A two-column comparison sheet of aeroplane versus helicopter systems with at least 25 system entries, each marked shared or type-specific, plus the two hand-drawn hydraulic schematics

Week 2

Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems & Helicopter Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems

  • Trace the electrical power generation and distribution path on a twin-engine aeroplane from IDG or alternator through bus bars to essential loads, and compare it with a helicopter's generator and battery arrangement

  • Explain the operating principle and failure indications of the air conditioning and pressurisation system, including outflow valve, cabin pressure controller and the meaning of cabin altitude warnings

  • Describe fuel system components and sequencing for both categories, including boost pumps, crossfeed, venting, refuelling and defuelling and the consequences of a failed boost pump

  • Explain landing gear retraction, extension, locking and indication for an aeroplane and skid or wheel landing gear for a helicopter, including emergency extension means

Your checkpoint

A one-page system-by-system fault-finding table listing at least 15 abnormal indications and the most probable component or cause for each

Week 3

Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems & Helicopter Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems & Basic Aerodynamics

  • Explain ice and rain protection for wings, engine intakes, pitot-static probes and windshields, and state the inspection points a line engineer checks before a flight in icing conditions

  • Describe fire detection and extinguishing for engines, APU and cargo compartments, including the difference between a detection loop fault and a genuine fire warning

  • Explain basic aerodynamics of the aeroplane in terms of boundary layer, stall, Mach effects and stability, and of the helicopter in terms of autorotation, ground effect and translational lift

  • Identify the structural assemblies of a semi-monocoque fuselage and a helicopter rotor blade and state the inspection methods used to find cracks and delamination

Your checkpoint

A closed-book self-test of 40 questions covering domains 8, 11 and 12, scored and with every wrong answer rewritten as a corrected statement

Week 4

Materials and Hardware & Maintenance Practices

  • Classify aircraft materials by property and use, covering aluminium alloys, titanium, steel, composites, honeycomb and transparent plastics, and match each to a representative application

  • Identify standard hardware by sight and by designation, including AN, MS and NAS bolts, nuts, washers, rivets, turnlock fasteners, hoses, unions and control cables, and state the correct locking method for each

  • Apply torque, safetying and inspection practice to a described fastener installation, listing the sequence of checks from fit to final lockwire

  • Explain the precautions for composite and metal repair in terms of corrosion control, galvanic couple avoidance, sealing and allowable damage limits

Your checkpoint

A hardware identification sheet of 30 items with designation, typical use and locking method, plus a written ten-step procedure for a torqued and lockwired bolt installation

Week 5

Maintenance Practices & Aviation Legislation

  • Describe the documentation chain for a maintenance task from work order through inspection, certification and return to service, naming the roles of the certifying staff and the quality system

  • Explain the scope and structure of Part-66 licensing, Part-145 maintenance organisations and Part-M continuing airworthiness, and distinguish which tasks each framework governs

  • Interpret a maintenance release, certificate of release to service, logbook entry and airworthiness directive compliance record, and state what makes each one valid

  • Apply human factors and maintenance error models to a described incident, naming the error type, the contributing organisational factors and the defences that should have prevented it

  • Explain the purpose and limits of approved maintenance data, service bulletins, airworthiness directives and minimum equipment lists in dispatch decisions

Your checkpoint

A completed mock maintenance record pack for one hypothetical task, containing work order, inspection sign-off, CRS wording and AD compliance statement, with a one-page justification of each entry

Week 6

Electrical Fundamentals & Electronic Fundamentals & Digital Techniques / Electronic Instrument Systems

  • Solve DC and AC circuit problems using Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, series and parallel networks, power and impedance, and show working for each

  • Explain the construction and operating principle of transformers, generators, motors, relays and contactors, and interpret their typical in-service failure modes

  • Describe semiconductor devices including diodes, transistors, thyristors and operational amplifiers, and explain rectification, amplification and switching in aircraft circuits

  • Explain digital numbering systems, logic gates, data buses and the architecture of electronic instrument and indication systems, including EFIS, EICAS or ECAM and air data computers

  • Trace a fault through a described electrical or electronic system using a wiring diagram description and state the test points and expected readings

Your checkpoint

Week 7

Mathematics & Physics & Human Factors

  • Solve arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry problems of the type used in aircraft maintenance, including percentage, ratio, area, volume and right-triangle calculations, without a calculator where possible

  • Explain mechanics, heat, light, sound and fluid behaviour as they appear in aircraft systems, including pressure, temperature, density and the gas laws

  • Apply human factors knowledge to shift work, fatigue, complacency, pressure, distraction and teamwork, and describe the individual and organisational countermeasures for each

Week 8

Aviation Legislation & Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems & Helicopter Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems & Maintenance Practices

  • Complete two full timed mock examinations under exam conditions and record the score per domain

  • Re-teach every domain where the mock score fell below 75 percent, using corrected notes rather than re-reading
