Differences in the Modules Between B1.1 and B1.3

If you are planning to become an aircraft mechanic or engineer, you have some choice to make.

First - Decide whether to become mechanical or avionics. Mechanical is the core, as it deals with the structure and the airworthiness of the aircraft. The hanger check and the related certifications are signed by mechanical or B1 personnel. That does not mean that the avionics is not important, as modern aircraft are fitted with advance systems.

If you want to do avionics, then go for B2 license. For mechanical, you have a choice of  separate and related licenses.

These are the choice...

B1-1 - fixed wings with turbine engine - like the modern aircraft B737, B747 A380 etc. Fixed wing because the wings that are producing the lift are fixed and note rotating.

B1 - 3 - This the license for rotary wing. The rotating blades on top of the helicopter are shaped like the wing on aeroplane. The main different, the wings on helicopter rotates.

There are two more choices, the pistons airplane or helicopter. However, they are outside the scope of today's discussion.

Let us contrast the module contents of the two choice (Between B1-1 and B1-3).
a. The modules 1 to 10 are common for both.
b. For those going for B1-1 has to do 3 more modules i.e 11A, 15 and 17
c. For those going for B1-3 has to do modules 12 and 15.
Notes.. module 11A is about fixed wing structure and systems.
                         12 is about rotorcraft structure and systems.
                         15 is module on turbine engine
                          17 is propeller.
