This week was a special week for the Institute to celebrate it’s 78th birthday on the 15th of July.
It was a big pleasure to hear a congratulatory speech delivered by Vice-president Mihail Karol and other colleagues.
A long journey has been gone through with challenges on the road, yet new great goals, outstanding achievements and continued success are still to come. Congratulations to its staff and students!

On July 10th, 2020, at the Riga Aeronautical Institute, students of the study programme "Aircraft Technical Maintenance" completed practical training on metal working. It was supervised by the Director of Engineering programmes, Vladimirs Reiskarts and the responsible lector of RAI, Vyacheslav Orekhov.
Trainees had the opportunity to gain basic metalworking skills. Students learned how to prepare technical drawings, use measuring instruments and tools for making samples. Students also practiced in threading, riveting, soldering and metal welding.

One of the important parts of the study programme "Aircraft Technical Maintenance" is "Helicopter practical training". From 29.06. till 03.07. it was organized at the training centre of the RAI and was led by Juha Ollila, a certified specialist from Finland, and Vladimir Reiskarts, the Director of Engineering study programmes. The aim of the internship was to provide students with an understanding of the general aircraft maintenance processes, to learn how to set up practically helicopter parts. Students had a chance to work independently with assemblies, to remove and install parts of it, and to get new knowledge in aircraft documentation.

On the 19th of June in the conference hall of RAI the graduation ceremony was held for graduates. It was a big and emotional event to get a diploma after facing all the challenges on the road. Now it is high time to move on and double the received knowledge.

Good luck!

Study year 2019/2020 is coming to its end. It is time to celebrate!
