Students in the Aviation Institute of Maintenance program recently wrapped up the hands‑on portion of their Hydraulic Fluid and Line Fabrication unit. After an in‑depth study of regulations, the shift to practical shop work was a welcome change that helped reinforce their classroom learning. Students did an excellent job applying their skills during the fabrication process, gaining confidence through real-world practice. Next, the class will move into Human Factors, a universal concept that is essential for understanding why mistakes occur and how to prevent them. This foundation will prepare students for their upcoming unit on Ground Handling, where safety principles take center stage.
