AIRCRAFT AND SHIP ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Alessano headquarters
To Whom?
The workshop is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in aeronautical maintenance o naval, interested in working on engines, on-board systems and complex propulsion systems. who intend to acquire skills recognised by industry and EASA, with the possibility of accessing the status of Skilled worker;
It is particularly suitable for those who want to work in advanced contexts related to smart production, predictive maintenance and I4.0 technologies in the aeronautical sector.
The Laboratory of Aircraft and Ship Engine Maintenance It was created to train highly qualified technicians capable of operating on aeronautical and naval propulsion systems with certified and immediately applicable skills in the sector.
The aim is to offer a practical and professional environment in which students can carry out real activities on engines, on-board systems and electro-hydraulic equipment, acquiring the skills required for the recognition of Skilled worker, as required by aeronautical regulations.
The laboratory is part of a broader strategy, supported by Leonardo, a partner of the ITS Foundation, is opening a new helicopter workshop with operational continuity at the Brindisi Maintenance Base. This collaboration further strengthens the connection between education and industry and provides students with privileged access to world-class technologies, processes, and professional opportunities.
In the Aircraft and Marine Engine Maintenance Laboratory, students develop operational skills through immersive learning based on real-world cases.
Among the main teaching activities:
Propulsion systems and on-board systems
- Study of the functioning of aircraft and naval engines.
- Analysis of auxiliary systems and on-board electromechanical systems.
Maintenance techniques
- Testing, diagnosis and performance verification modes for engines.
- Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance interventions on engines and electro-hydraulic systems.
- Application of safety procedures and aeronautical regulations.
Practical laboratory
- Bench tests of the operation of engines and on-board systems.
- Fault analysis, data interpretation, and choice of intervention methodologies.
- Training in the procedures required for the recognition of Skilled Worker (EASA AMC 66.A.30).
Industry Connections
- Opportunity to interact with Leonardo's new helicopter workshop in Brindisi, a strategic hub worth over €4 million.
- Understanding the role of maintenance in the Italian and international aerospace supply chain, a sector that generates approximately 3 billion a year in supplies, with a strong need for qualified technicians.
The laboratory is equipped to ensure a complete and operational training experience, including:
- Test benches to test the operation of engines, propellers and electro-hydraulic systems.
- Aeronautical and naval propulsion systems for direct exercises on real systems.
- Instruments for measurements, analysis and diagnosis, in line with the standards required by the industry.
- Maintenance testing equipment on critical components, on-board systems and mechanical units.
- Operating stations for exercises on safety, procedures, disassembly and reassembly of parts.
The equipment is designed to faithfully simulate a professional maintenance environment, offering students a learning context that reflects real operating conditions in aeronautical and naval workshops.
COURSE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
