Airframe

The Airframe section provides the essential knowledge and skills required for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of an aircraft’s structural and mechanical systems. It covers the principles, components, and procedures that form the foundation of the airframe mechanic rating, supporting both classroom learning and independent study.

Topics include the structure, control systems, landing gear, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, environmental controls, and other components that make up the aircraft’s physical framework. Representative examples are used to illustrate concepts, as designs and configurations vary between aircraft types.

This content offers a broad technical overview and should be used alongside manufacturer’s manuals and official regulations for detailed, aircraft-specific guidance.
