About this book

Volume 1 of the theory textbook for the QCTO Occupational Certificate: Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic (NQF Level 5, SAQA ID 103219) — engineering science and the electrical and electronic fundamentals. Chapters 1 to 5 carry 23 of the knowledge component's 114 credits: mathematics and physics for aircraft maintenance, electrical fundamentals, electronic fundamentals, and digital technology and electronic instrument systems. Taught in South African civil aviation context — the Civil Aviation Act 13 of 2009 and Civil Aviation Regulations Parts 43, 66 and 145 — and it does not replace approved type training or an operator's approved maintenance data. Chapters are numbered continuously 1 to 17 across the three volumes. Last date for enrolment on SAQA 103219 is 30 December 2026; last date for achievement is 30 December 2029.
