Abstract

In the world of aviation, it’s imperative that its workers are well educated and trained. There are numerous aviation institutes that offer courses in aviation such as aircraft maintenance, aircraft design, ground handling and others. Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL MIAT) offers courses in Aircraft Maintenance and the philosophy behind Aircraft Maintenance is safety where workers with astute skill, knowledge, and mindset would maintain the aircraft efficiently and thus retain safety at its highest level. In order for UniKL MIAT to produce such astute workers, the teaching staffs need to be at it’s best physical shape in order to deliver the output. This paper collected data of the Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) of the staffs of the Aerospace Section of UniKL MIAT in order to gauge their physical comfort when engaging their tasks. Individuals that are in good physical shape would normally be comfortable in most tasks and our paper addressed that which in turn gave results of the physical fitness of the staffs in the Aerospace Section of UniKL MIAT.
