DSS Course DC25 (8 Hrs)

Level 2 Aircraft Vibration Maintenance - Dynamic Propeller Balancing

Description: This course presents advanced vibration theory, balancing, measurement of vibration and vibration trending as applied to fixed-wing aircraft. The classroom session emphasizes proper use of the MicroVib II Aircraft Analyzer for both propeller balancing and vibration analysis. The flight line session allows the equipment user to have "hands-on" experience installing and using the MicroVib II Aircraft Analyzer on actual aircraft.

Who Should Attend: Recommended for aircraft maintenance technicians and engineering personnel who already have some familiarity with vibration theory and/or balancing and would benefit from a more advanced course.
