Dedika is a platform where you learn by doing—whether that's putting together a business proposal, becoming a nail technician, or picking up a new tool. No matter your goal, the best content on the topic is already out there. But it's often in another language, expensive, scattered, lacking hands-on activities, or buried in courses that are too long for busy people. That's why Dedika has its own approach: we find the best material wherever it is, organize what fits your goals, review it with experts who are available to answer your questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing. You matter most in your learning journey, and no one knows it better than you do. Choose the content and course length, decide if you want to learn online or offline, and pick your preferred format—video, text, audio, or summary. It's your way, with only what makes sense for you. Here, every moment you dedicate counts for more, and you reach what matters faster.

Our courses include a summary at the end of each chapter, from which you can download a PDF and print it.

Lesson 2 • Aircraft Maintenance Documentation
Introduces maintenance manuals, task cards, and logbook entries as primary work-control tools. Accurate documentation is foundational to airworthiness and regulatory compliance.
Lesson 3 • Regulatory Framework Overview
Covers the structure of civil aviation authority regulations and how they govern maintenance operations. Provides the compliance context for every task performed in an airline MRO environment.
Lesson 4 • Maintenance Personnel Roles
Defines the responsibilities of licensed engineers, certifying staff, and support technicians. Clarifies accountability structures that govern daily maintenance operations.

Chapter 2See details

Aircraft Systems and Structures

Lesson 1 • Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
Describes hydraulic power generation, distribution, and actuation components. Pneumatic bleed-air applications are linked to landing gear, brakes, and flight controls.
Lesson 2 • Flight Control Systems
Covers primary and secondary flight control surfaces, actuation methods, and rigging principles. Connects mechanical and hydraulic concepts to aircraft controllability.
Lesson 3 • Fuel System Architecture
Examines fuel tank configurations, transfer systems, and fuel management logic. Fuel system knowledge underpins safe refueling, defueling, and leak-detection procedures.
Lesson 4 • Airframe Structural Concepts
Explains semi-monocoque construction, load paths, and structural classifications. Understanding structural design is essential before performing any inspection or repair task.
Lesson 5 • Electrical Power Systems
Introduces AC and DC generation, bus architecture, and circuit protection devices. Electrical system knowledge is prerequisite for avionics and engine electrical troubleshooting.

Chapter 3See details

Powerplant Maintenance Principles

Lesson 1 • Turbofan Engine Construction
Examines fan, compressor, combustion, turbine, and exhaust module design. Component identification is the prerequisite for all engine inspection and removal tasks.
Lesson 2 • Engine Fuel and Oil Systems
Covers fuel metering units, fuel control systems, and engine oil circulation. Proper servicing of these systems directly affects engine reliability and longevity.
Lesson 3 • Engine Starting and Ignition
Describes pneumatic and electric start sequences, ignition exciter operation, and start abort criteria. Safe engine start procedures are critical line maintenance competencies.
Lesson 4 • Engine Line Maintenance Tasks
Covers borescope inspection, cowl access, and engine ground run procedures. These tasks represent the most frequent powerplant activities performed at line stations.
Lesson 5 • Engine Performance Monitoring
Introduces engine trend monitoring, EGT margin tracking, and performance parameter limits. Monitoring skills enable early fault detection and reduce unscheduled removals.

Chapter 4See details

Avionics and Instrument Systems

Lesson 1 • Flight Management System Basics
Introduces FMS architecture, CDU operation, and performance database management. FMS knowledge supports troubleshooting of flight planning and autoflight discrepancies.
Lesson 2 • Navigation System Maintenance
Examines IRS, VOR, ILS, and GPS sensor maintenance and alignment procedures. Navigation system accuracy directly affects approach and landing safety.
Lesson 3 • Communication Systems Maintenance
Covers VHF, HF, and ACARS radio systems, antenna checks, and audio control panels. Communication system serviceability is a dispatch-critical requirement on every flight.
Lesson 4 • BITE and Fault Isolation
Teaches use of built-in test equipment, fault code interpretation, and LRU swap procedures. BITE-driven troubleshooting is the primary diagnostic method in modern avionics maintenance.

Chapter 5See details

Aircraft Structural Repair

Lesson 1 • Non-Destructive Testing Methods
Introduces visual, dye penetrant, eddy current, and ultrasonic inspection techniques. NDT methods detect hidden damage that visual inspection alone cannot reveal.
Lesson 2 • Damage Assessment and Classification
Covers allowable damage limits, damage mapping, and structural repair manual navigation. Accurate damage classification determines whether repair or replacement is required.
Lesson 3 • Composite Structure Repair
Introduces composite damage types, wet layup repair, and bonded repair procedures. Composite repairs require strict process control to restore structural integrity.
Lesson 4 • Metallic Structure Repair
Teaches rivet removal, patch design, and sheet metal forming for aluminum structure repairs. Metallic repair skills are applicable to fuselage skin, frames, and stringers.
