The requirement for Training: Base Year (11 April 2018-10 April 2019) CLIN 0001: Aircraft Structural Repair for Engineers, Part I. This course prepares the trainee to assess, design and analyze metallic repairs for damage beyond the limits described in the Structural Repair Manual (SRM). The course includes a combination of lecture, discussion, practical exercises, and two examinations. Students should come to class equipped to perform mathematical calculations. Location: TBD Length: TBD Dates: TBD Students: 20 max Instructor: One CLIN 0002: Aircraft Structural Repair for Engineers, Part II. This course is a continuation of the Aircraft Structural Repair for Engineers - Part I course. It is designed to further enhance the ability of the engineer to understand, design and assess repairs to metallic airframe structure. The focus of this course is on the bending of beams and the stability of structural members under compression loads. Students will develop repairs for structural components under bending and compression loads. The course contains a combination of lecture, practice exercises and one examination. Location: TBD Length: TBD Dates: TBD Students: 20 max Instructor: One CLIN 0003: Aircraft Structural Repair for Engineers, Part III. This course is a continuation of the Aircraft Structural Repair for Engineers, Parts I and II. It focuses primarily on the concepts of fatigue and damage tolerance and their application to the design of repairs. Location: TBD Length: TBD Dates: TBD Students: 20 max Instructor: One CLIN 0004: Corrosion Prevention and Control. This course gives maintenance technicians and engineers training in the control and prevention of aircraft corrosion. Topics include the types of corrosion, removal methods, preventive maintenance and the industry corrosion prevention and control program. This course includes lectures, demonstrations and class exercises. Location: TBD Length: TBD Dates: TBD Students: 20 max Instructor: One CLIN 0005: Basic Composite Repair for Technicians- Part II. This course readies the trainee with Composite/Metal Bond Part I training, or previous practical experience, to perform composite repairs. The course is a combination of lecture and practical hands-on exercises in which students practice making composite repairs to carbon (graphite), fiberglass, and Kevlar. Location: TBD Length: TBD Dates: TBD Students: 20 max Instructor: One CLIN 0006: Advanced Composite Repair for Technician - Part IV. This course builds on the skills learned in the Composite/Metal Bond Part II - Basic Composite Repair for Technicians course, and applies those skills to complex repair concepts such as ply drop offs, critical areas, edge bands, and solid laminates. The course includes detailed discussion of design requirements, composite drawings, specifications and practice exercises including high temperature, critical area and edge repairs. Location: TBD Length: TBD Dates: TBD Students: 20 max Instructor: One CLIN 0007: Composite Repair Design with Practical Application. This course introduces the trainee, with an engineering degree or equivalent, to the fundamentals of composite materials and the repair of these components. It also prepares the trainee to design repairs for damage beyond Structural Repair Manual (SRM) limits with a reasonable assurance of approval from Boeing or regulatory agencies. The course includes lecture, demonstration, and hands-on practice in the use of repair equipment and repair of composite materials. Topics include detailed information on composite material properties and behavior, stress analysis, design requirements, inspection, and repair methods. Location: TBD Length: TBD Dates: TBD Students: 20 max Instructor: One Justification for Sole Source: A requirement exists for Engineering Training, the training is specific and therefore specialized, making Boeing the only source available to provide the necessary training. Price(s) should be FOB Destination (Robins AFB GA 31098). The anticipated award date is 11 April 2018. Please do not request award status prior to this date.
