AETS-Sofema is a leading provider of Engine Ground Running Training for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers. Our courses are specifically designed with our Instructor, interacting with and providing detailed guidance to enable the student to pass through all the required elements.
The objective of the training is to deliver the training necessary to ensure optimum competence, allowing the student to confidently and safely perform a ground engine run-up operation.
Which Aircraft are covered by AETS-Sofema Training Programs?
Multiple Aircraft are covered including Boeing Aircraft Maintenance Engine Ground Run Training. Airbus Aircraft Maintenance Engine Ground Run Training and Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Engine Ground Run Training.
Please do contact team@aets-sofema.com to discuss your particular requirements – there are constraints and limitations regarding simulator sessions so the earlier you act the better.
The course includes but is not limited to the following elements:
- Ensure Understanding & Familiarity with Applicable reference manuals for Engine Test procedures
- Awareness of Engine limitation
- Understand all necessary preparations prior to Engine Start including the application of Electrical Power & Cockpit Check
- Starting APU including Fire Check
- Responding to an APU fire and Emergency Shutdown
- How to Conduct a Crew briefing
- Wet & Dry Motoring
- Safely Start the Engine ensuring all safety precautions
- Engine System Parameter Monitor & Management
- Responding to an engine fire including emergency shutdown procedure
AETS-Sofema Instructors lead the students in a safe environment through all the various engine test procedures. Additional topics are covered including crew briefing and weather considerations.
Why Perform an Aircraft Engine Ground Run?
There are multiple reasons why it is necessary to perform an Engine Ground Run (EGR) whether on the Line or following Base Maintenance Operations.
At AETS-Sofema, our specially designed Engine Ground Running training contains both theoretical and practical sessions. The theoretical classroom training is followed by the participants completing an actual ground run on an aircraft simulator.
Why use a simulator?
The simulator allows training for all emergency scenarios which simply cannot be performed on a live aircraft – For example, discharging an Aircraft Engine or APU Fire-Bottle following the positive identification of an Engine Fire.
The following Engine Ground Running Training Courses are currently Scheduled:
Airbus A340-500/600 (TRENT 500) from 8 to 10 June 2020
Embraer ERJ 135/145 (RR AE3007A) from 15 to 17 June 2020
Boeing 747-400 (GE CF6-80 or PW4000) from 22 to 24 June
Further Information
Engine Ground Running can be offered for many aircraft types – please enquire if you have a group of 4 persons.
