"Project Background:The project ""Promotion of Learning in Aviation Technolgy Training Activities Networks in Europe (PLANE)"" responds to the need of harmonising national training activities in aviation maintenance and repair under the umbreall of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Project Context and Objectives:The project context is to analyse the different national standards of aviation maintenance training which are generated on basis of EASA standards. This analysis shall be laid out in a synopsis of training standards defined in each of the five participating countries. Based on this synoptic comparison overlaps and specific focus areas shall be identified and discussed.Furthermore the results of this discussion shall be guided to a process of mutually developing harmonised training and teaching materials that meet the demand of each national aviation authority of the participating countries. These training materials shall inter alia be tested and implemented in transnational teaching/training activities. This experience shall be discussed with the national authorities giving an impulse to allow a stronger and transparent implementation of transnational training activities of EASA accredited training institutions.One has to take into consideration that aviation maintenance is a highly international work environment. Without harmonising training materials and national standards this international parameter cannot be included widely into training efforts carried out by European training providers looking for transnational partnerships within a growing European labour market.Trainers from five different aviation training institutions from five different countries (Belgium, Finland, France, Germany and Italy) accredited with EASA (part 147 and part 66 of guidelines) co-operate within this project. Up to 12 trainers are directly involved in elaborating the high-quality intellectual outputs (training materials). Furthermore trainees (more than 1,000) of these training institutions will participate and benefit from the project by testing and evaluation activities throughout project life time and later on by using them in routine training processes after project closure.Moreover our associated partner (Chair and Institute of Engineering and Ergonomics of RWTH University Aachen) will contribute with their expertise on work analysis, quality of VET procedures in Europe and their evaluative input.Target Groups:- Aviation Industry (maintenance and repair companies; suppliers)- Commercial and public training providers accredited according to part 147 EASA standards- Trainees- Teachers, trainers, instructorsResults produced through project activities will be a content analysis of national aviation maintenance and repair training standards following the EASA guidelines. This comparison shall be laid out in a synopsis of all training standards of all 13 existing training sectors and displaying overlapping topics as well as national specifics. This result of the initial transnational project phase will be discussed and leading to agreements on achievable common and transnational contents and standards of training.Based on this agreement teaching and training material (in English language) - intellectual output - will be elaborated, tested and evaluated. The experience of these activities shall be discussed and shared within the wider European scene of aviation training providers, national aviation authorities and EASA itself. MethodologyBased on a thorough analysis of the existing EASA guidelines with regard to the mandatory contents of aviation maintenance and repair training in all EASA member countries, the project consortium will formulate a common cross cutting syllabus valid in all participating countries. This outcome will be the result of the sound expertise of aviation training experts working within these topics on daily basis. To make sure that aspects are taken into consideration that reflect up-to-date demands of vocational training principles within the European discussion (esp. competence orientation) accompanying academic expertise will be an important contribution to the discussion and articulation of project results. The participants and participating institutions is given the chance to be taught in and teach multi-national learning groups with shared learning materials. The teaching staff should be able to teach in each of the participating countries. The results are going to be provided to other interested institutions of aerospace education."

"OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED: The main objective is to manufacture several Karts as a team between all the participating teaching centers with different alternative energies and to carry out comparative tests between all the Karts manufactured. RESULTS ACHIEVED: -A different Kart for each participating training center powered by different alternative energies.- A collaborative website where all the information generated during the project is collected: http://erasmuskart.somosdelprieto.com/ NEEDS: The project arises from the need to update itself in the field of electric motors and renewable energies applied to the automotive industry. This project is INNOVATIVE because most of the Karts currently manufactured are powered by gasoline engines and these Karts are powered by electric motors and fed with different alternative energies, thanks to this project, experience, training and material generated that will be very useful have been achieved. not only for the courses that have enjoyed the project, but for future courses. DISTRIBUTION OF TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The project has been divided into several lines of work. The partners, you have been responsible for carrying out each of them: - IES Gregorio Prieto (SPAIN): Coordination of the project and development of the Kart chassis and manufacture of an electric kart powered by a hydrogen fuel cell - CNH2: (SPAIN): Advice and training on the installation of a hydrogen fuel cell in the Spanish Kart. - Jean Baptiste Dumas Lyceum (FRANCE): Development of the steering and suspension of the Kart and manufacture of a kart powered by solar energy. - Future Focus Ltd (MALTA): Development of the Kart body and paint. Design of the technology for applying solar energy to the Kart together with the French center in addition to the manufacture of its own Kart. - ISIS ""A. PONTI"" (ITALY): Assembly of wheels and electric motors integrated in the wheels and braking system and manufacture of an electric kart driven by compressed air nuclear energy. - TBZ (GERMANY): Development of high voltage, manufacture of a kart and application of regenerative braking technology. TRANSNATIONAL PROJECT REASON: Carrying out this project in common between students and teachers from different countries and different cultures is a very enriching experience for the future acquisition of a job for students in multinational companies that work all over the world; Due to the experience acquired by working as a team in English with colleagues from any country, it is only possible to achieve this competence with projects of this type at a transnational level. PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS: -Teachers from the different centers of the association with training and interest in the project topics, as well as their respective management teams. -Students of FPB courses in Vehicle Maintenance, Middle Grade Training Cycles in Electromechanics, Bodywork and Electronics. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES:EXCHANGE 1: MEETING IN SPAIN (NOVEMBER 2018)EXCHANGE 2: MEETING IN FRANCE (APRIL 2019)EXCHANGE 3: MEETING IN MALTA (OCTOBER 2019)EXCHANGE 4: MEETING IN ITALY (MAY 2021)EXCHANGE 5: MEETING IN GERMANY: (MARCH 2021)"
