2026 Grade 10 Aviation Technology Lesson Plans – Week 1 – Week 14 – Term 2

It covers the following strands and sub-strands:

• Aircraft Basic Construction
  • Aircraft Tools and Materials
    • Common aircraft construction materials (aluminum alloys, titanium, steel, composites), functions of aircraft tools, material properties (weight/strength), categorization of tools (cutting, measuring, striking, holding), safety precautions for tools and materials, physical and mechanical properties (density, conductivity, tensile strength, fatigue), and maintenance procedures.
  • Aircraft Model Construction
    • Practical building using local materials and analyzing manufacturing efficiency.
• Technical Drawing
  • Isometric Drawing
    • Concepts of 2D vs 3D, component analysis, isometric sketching techniques, projection theories, use of formal drawing equipment (T-squares and set squares), dimensioning rules, drawing non-isometric lines, reading assembly charts and blueprints, and real-world applications in aviation.
• Flight Operations
  • Aviation Weather
    • Fundamental elements of weather (temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, visibility), cloud classification and aviation impacts (IFR conditions, icing), meteorological measurement and instruments (barometers, anemometers, hygrometers), analyzing weather data for flight safety, relationship between temperature and air density, effects of wind (headwinds, tailwinds, crosswinds), aviation meteorology services, METAR report standard format, and careers in aviation meteorology.
