Effectiveness of Aircraft Ground Operation Course in Enriching the Aircraft Maintenance Program
Abstract
The demand for aviation maintenance technicians (AMT) is rapidly increasing and there is a need to provide as many as 769,000 over the next twenty20 years (Boeing, 2018). The program defined in this study is extra enrichment in bracing the delivery of aviation maintenance technology instruction. For the Aircraft Maintenance Technology (AMT) students of any aviation institution, an effective teaching method for a technical student should be given with hands-on training aside from theoretical knowledge for them to experience the actual learning process to maximize their skills and this will be a great help for their professional growth and development. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of aircraft ground operations in enriching the aircraft maintenance program. The participants of the study were composed of 35 AMT personnel and 25 AMT students which came from three (3) approved Maintenance Organization Company and one (1) approved Training Organization (Maintenance school) in Metro Manila. A four-point Likert scale was employed to survey the level of effectiveness of the Aircraft Ground Operation for the AMT Program and was evaluated in terms of Aircraft Simulator, Aircraft Run-up and Taxiing, Aircraft Fueling and refueling, Aircraft Marshalling, Aircraft Servicing, Facilities and Equipment, Aircraft Inspection and Safety Awareness. In the findings, all participants are males who belong to age ranging from 20-25 years old. Most of the participants are BSAMT/AMT graduates. The overall perception of the participant's AMT personnel and students on the effectiveness of aircraft ground operation has yielded a result that is verbally interpreted as “effective”. This was further inferred and validated using Mann Whitney which resulted in the findings that there is no statistically significant difference in the responses of AMT personnel and the students. This meant that there was no significant difference in the perception of the group of participants on the effectiveness of the aircraft ground operation course in enriching the aircraft maintenance program.
