PART I: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF REGIONAL AVIATION COLLEGE (RAC)

Regional Aviation College (RAC) was established in 2005 to enhance aviation and business
training within East and Central African. It was conceptualized and established by
professionals in the aviation industry. RAC combines this experience with a truly supportive
culture to provide adequately trained manpower. Establishment of the college was
sponsored by four stakeholders Capt. P. C. Kisamo, Mr. Patric Musembi, Mr. Nyagaka Ouko
and Mr. John Omondi. All these sponsors have abundant experience in aviation and hence
their quest to establish the college. Experience has been drawn from running of a similar
outfit in Kenya with great success
1.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The aviation industry has experienced a steady growth in the past decade resulting in an
increase in state registered fleet, which consequently requires an increase in maintenance
personnel. On the other hand, there exists a significant shortage of qualified aircraft
maintenance personnel a condition brought by lack of adequate state trained technicians and
engineers from the early nineties and the expanding generation gap as most qualified
personnel are retired or retiring.
The sector is attracting foreign and local investors and it is showing tremendous signs of
prosperity. The resulting upward swing in the industry has thus increased demand of
technical expertise in the provision of services in various fields of aircraft maintenance, hence
the need for NTA levels: NTA Level 4 -Basic Certificate in Aircraft Maintenance
Engineering. Due to the shortage of skilled personnel for this vital industry, Regional
Aviation College has decided to build a capacity in its initiative to develop human resources,
especially in the training of technical personnel. The college has developed the modularized
curriculum with intention to deliver the much-needed training of aircraft maintenance
engineers.
The college conducted a baseline survey to assess the actual skills that the aircraft
maintenance sector would require. Relevant information and applicable recommended
standards and procedures of the training programme were obtained from relevant ICAO
3
annexes. Consultations with aviation regulators, air operators, airlines, aircraft maintenance
organizations within Tanzania and aviation training institutions in Uganda and Kenya
including views of individuals within the industry provided the means and data for aircraft
maintenance manpower requirements. Collectively the various stake holders in the aviation
industry including institutions and individuals gave their suggestions and recommendations
These efforts have enabled the college to produce this reviewed curriculum. In order to
maintain the relevance of the training; the college will establish close contacts with strategic
stakeholders in the aviation industry as practical training will be conducted in most cases
within air operators and aircraft maintenance organizations. Regional Aviation College, using
guidelines of NACTE, has prepared a programme leading to the award of NTA Level 4 –
Basic Technician Certificate in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.

Competence Tests/Practical work
Practical work in the laboratory is considered to be an essential part of the programme,

allowing students to develop their practical skills in Aviation Maintenance Engineering. The
philosophy of laboratory work is to support the learning process, give knowledge by direct
observation and fact finding in contrast to factual learning. Laboratory work illustrates
principle of experimental technique and observation, illustrate the errors inevitable in
troubleshooting and give practice in making deductions from observed problems and provide
corrective measures. Laboratory work is assessed on the basis of the observation of
performance and output in the Aircraft Shop laboratory. For each module, the assessment of
the associated laboratory work contributes to the overall assessment for the module.
Assignments
Assignments allow a student to apply the knowledge gained through Lectures, Tutorials and
Laboratory works to practical situations. They develop skills in analysis, literature review and
making considerable judgment and selections. Multidisciplinary assignments allow the
integration of material taught in separate modules. Assignments will be carried out in all
modules on the programme with Aircraft Shop laboratory work. As the student progresses
through the programme he/she will be expected to carry out assignment work with multi–
discipline elements. The skills of communication, working with others, self-development,
planning, problem solving and decision making together with practical skills are developed in
assignment work.
Project Works
Practical projects in applicable shops and items of equipment, is considered to be an

essential part of the programme, allowing a student to develop practical skills in
applications. The philosophy of shop work is to support the learning process, give
knowledge by direct physical application of process and practice to compliment the
theoretical learning, involving:
I. Fabrication of metallic and non-metallic parts
II. Application of process and practice
III. Dismantling and assembly of major aero components
IV. Routine servicing of aircraft and engines
V. Use of engineering drawing
VI. Application of shop safety procedures and emergency drill
VII. Shop house keeping
Practice is assessed on the basis of the student’s performance in the applicable shops, non-
flyable and flyable aircraft, and student’s training logbook and on the job training
11
worksheets. For each module, the assessment of the associated practical work contributes to
the overall assessment for the module.
1.7.5.2 End of Module Examination
