AMNT240 Module 5.4 & 5.5 Discussion

Previously, you were provided the opportunity to research and learn more about physics, aging aircraft, and the role of the AMT. Now, use this discussion forum to share what you have learned. Consider any examples in the reading material where the role of the AMT contributed or prevented an accident/incident/catastrophe. What are the risks and benefits of maintaining aging aircraft? What about maintenance costs, fuel efficiency, and emissions? Be sure to think beyond the questions posed here and consider all aspects of the aging aircraft in domestic and international aviation.

Apply what you learned from your research by creating a discussion post. Your post must focus on explaining the maintenance and safety issues, and describe how the role of a qualified AMT is critial to maintaining safety in aging aircraft. You must use a minimum of 150 words and use proper grammar and spelling.

In Module 4, you submitted an abstract for your research paper on aging aircraft inspection and documentation. In this activity, you will prepare a Pecha Kucha presentation based on your topic proposal. Provide 10 slides, with a 20 second presentation for each slide, either in audio or caption format.

You may use any resource, internal or external to the course. Be sure to properly cite and reference sources for all content. Review the Pecha Kucha Evaluation Rubric (available via the drop-down menu) to make sure that you understand the requirements for your submission.

Share your Pecha Kucha presentation in this forum. You may submit it in whatever format works best, whether it be a file upload, embedded HTML presentation, link to an external presentation, etc. Once you have shared your presentation, please view your peers' presentations. Replies are optional, but encouraged.
