Tendencias de motor de turbina

A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), module 1455 Motores de turbinas de gas (Tecnico Superior en Mantenimiento Aeromecanico de Aviones con Motor de Turbina, Real Decreto 1445/2018).

The learner is the newly qualified technician of a fictional small maintenance organisation at a fictional aerodrome in Navarra who runs the engine-condition trend monitoring of a regional airline's twelve turboprop engines over the four quarters of a year.

Eight monitoring and engine decisions over four rounds: the compressor washes, how the engine data are read, the oil consumption, a borescope finding, what is done with an engine near its margin in a summer with no spare aircraft, the engine records, the shortened re-inspection and the review of the year.

Scored on fleet available, engine-programme cost a week, alerts mishandled and unscheduled engine events; three tempting choices come back later, and two critical errors (an engine flown past the limits of the manual, a re-inspection written as done without doing it) cap the round. Lesson: reading the trend lets you act before the engine warns. Training level only. Spanish primary, English parity.

All companies, airports, airlines, aircraft and people are fictional.

An introductory simulation that assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, designed for undergraduate courses. It also works in vocational and high-school programmes and in onboarding sessions.
