Airline Fleet
Planning
1. Introduction to airline fleet planning, definition of airline fleet
planning. The importance of aircraft selection, Market Adaptability,
Fleet flexibility, Fleet continuity, and Fleet life cycle.
2. Flight operations, Ground operations, Maintenance tasks, Initial
maintenance programs
3. Economic criteria, Operating cost, Indirect operating cost, Direct
operating cost, Maintenance operating cost, Fuel operating cost, Crew
cost, Fuel cost, Airport fees.
4. The process of aircraft selection, which involves traffic data
analysis, and identify suitable aircraft candidate.
5. The final stage of aircraft selection, which involves, Aircraft
performance, cost efficiency by each stage length, traffic allocation
and scheduling, finally identify the preferred fleet choice.
1. Audit, and Certification Services.
1.1 Provide training courses on different regulation systems, audit, and
certification requirements (GACA, FAA, EASA, CAYMON, IOSA, ICAO).
1.2 Assist aircraft operators and maintenance organizations to obtain
different GACA certificates, in addition to get prepared for GACA audit
requirements.
1.3 Assist aircraft operators and maintenance organizations to obtain
different FAA certificates, in addition to get prepared for FAA audit
requirements.
1.4 Assist aircraft operators and maintenance organizations to obtain
different EASA/CAYMON certificates, in addition to get prepared for
EASA/CAYMON audit requirements.
1.5 Assist aircraft operators and maintenance organizations to obtain
IOSA certificate, in addition to get prepared for IOSA audit
requirement.
2. Aviation engineering training
Provide aviation engineer training courses in:
2.1 Reliability and maintenance programs
2.2 Aircraft maintenance, modifications and repairs cost estimation and
analysis
2.3 Finance for aviation engineers
2.4 Aircraft modifications and repair design and certification
Aircraft and UAV Design
1. Define an appropriate set of mission requirements and sketch the
mission profile of an airplane.
2. Evaluate the configuration of airplanes and describe the connection
between configuration choices (ex. High wing, tandem landing gear) and
mission requirements.
3. Describe the pros and cons of the various conventional aircraft
configurations.
4. Describe the pros and cons of unconventional aircraft configuration
such as canards, 3-surface, swept-forward wings, flying wings, tailless,
V/STOL, stealth, etc.
5. Select an appropriate configuration for an airplane with a specified
mission.
6. Estimate the takeoff weight of an airplane based on the mission
requirements using the weight fraction method.
7. Calculate the takeoff weight sensitivity of an airplane to change of
critical parameter such as L/D, sfc, etc.
8. Construct a matching graph based on specific performance constraints,
such as stall speed, cruise speed, takeoff distance, and landing
distance and use them to predict the required thrust / power and wing
area for an airplane.
9. Design the wing, empennage and the landing gear of an airplane using
tip-over and ground clearance criteria.
