About this book

Volume 3 of the theory textbook for the QCTO Occupational Certificate: Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic (NQF Level 5, SAQA ID 103219) — the aircraft, its engines and its propellers. Chapters 12 to 17 carry 55 of the knowledge component's 114 credits: aircraft structures and systems across both halves of module KM-12, helicopter aerodynamics, structures and systems, gas turbine engines, piston engines, and propellers. 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.
