Abstract

The aviation training field’s under growing pressure to weave eco-friendly practices into how it teaches. This study aims to build a green maintenance plan for WCC Aeronautical & Technological College – North Manila, helping it use resources smarter, cut down on trash, while lifting its environmental game. AMT courses involve fixing planes, spotting problems, doing routine checks - activities that leave behind dangerous waste along with regular junk, including old oil, filters, plastic bits, scrap metal. Without solid handling, such waste may damage nature and mess up daily operations. The proposed approach uses eco-friendly techniques by combining 3D printing with physical models, allowing safe and precise testing of maintenance tasks while cutting down on material waste. Information will come from watching procedures, surveys, or talking directly with staff - this helps spot current flaws in upkeep and green practices. SMMM stresses early repairs, separating trash properly, tracking maintenance logs, plus meeting environmental rules set by regional and international bodies. Putting this model into action should boost performance efficiency, ensure laws are followed, also improve safety in learning environments. This research supports better long-term management of aviation training facilities, pushing schools toward smarter growth and stronger care for the planet.
