AMT 245 - Aircraft Landing Gear and Fluid Power Systems

Institution:

Columbus State Community College

Subject:

Description:

The landing gear system is one of the most stressed components on any aircraft. It has to support the weight of the entire aircraft, absorb the forces of impact during landing and taxiing, and survive the tremendous localized heat produced during rollout by the brakes. For these reasons, and due to the complexity of retractable gear and nose steering systems, the maintenance technician needs to possess extensive knowledge of landing gear and associated systems. This course will include heavy focus on hydraulic and pneumatic principles, inspection and repair of air/oil struts, wheels, brakes, tires, and the landing gear system in relation to the aircraft. Students will also learn the principles of inspection, repair, and replacement of hydraulic and pneumatic rigid and nonrigid lines.
