5.00 Credits
With the sophisticated aircraft manufactured today, an understanding of basic DC concepts is essential for the modern aircraft maintenance technician. In this course, students will develop a fundamental understanding of basic DC electrical circuits with an emphasis on airborne installations. Electrical theory and practical application will be accomplished and proven through extensive experimentation and practice. Aircraft maintenance practices as they relate to batteries and power calculations, as well as, the relationship of voltage, current, and resistance will be examined, and precision measurement of these values will be made on operational circuits.
-
2.00 Credits
Aircraft maintenance cannot be performed safely without a full understanding of the hazards and handling procedures involved with aircraft in a hangar, shop, or outdoor ramp environment. In this class, students will study and engage in practices involving aircraft in these situations. Emphasis will be placed on accomplishment of tasks while preserving a safe environment for personnel and equipment. Students will become proficient at performing various aircraft maintenance responsibilities that involve shop safety, tie-down procedures, aircraft jacking and hoisting, and aircraft cleaning.
-
5.00 Credits
This course helps students acquire the foundational and practical skills pertaining to the identification, proper use, and safe handling of the tools, hardware, and materials used while performing aircraft maintenance. Students will also receive instruction and apply techniques associated with methods of safety wiring hardware, welding, inspection of welds, and heat-treatment of metals.
-
5.00 Credits
In this class, the basics of AC power will be discussed, along with its uses on aircraft avionics and passenger comfort systems. How the electron is controlled and manipulated will be examined. Elementary logic functions and their operators will be discussed and put to practical use. Basic troubleshooting techniques with the use of wiring diagrams, schematics, and other useful tools will be emphasized.
-
2.00 Credits
One of the most important roles of the aircraft maintenance technician is the inspection of aircraft and their components. Superior skills in this area are essential in determining airworthiness. Students need to start practicing proper inspection techniques early and need to understand the personal barriers that can affect the inspection process. In this course, students will begin to learn inspection skills with an introduction to basic aircraft inspection methodology, an introduction to aircraft conformity research practices, applied techniques of visual and functional defect recognition, and an introduction to nondestructive inspection and testing procedures. Maintenance record management and the human factors involved with the performance of these tasks will also be presented.
-
4.00 Credits
The vast majority of general aviation aircraft in service today are powered by reciprocating (piston) engines. An aviation maintenance technician needs a broad understanding of these power plants to provide safe aircraft for flight. The focus of this course is the horizontally opposed reciprocating aircraft engine. Areas studied include theory of operation, engine construction features, maintenance and overhaul. Radial engine design, inspection and repair are also addressed. Reciprocating engine lubrication system design and maintenance for both radial and opposed engine are examined. Students learn the proper techniques for ground operational checks of reciprocating engines.
-
5.00 Credits
As with any type of heat engine, an aircraft reciprocating engine has certain requirements beyond the integrity of its own components for operation. It needs delivery systems for air and fuel and some means to ignite this mixture. These subsystems can vary from simple to very complex. This course covers the reciprocating engine ignition, fuel metering, and induction systems. Students study magnetos, float carburetors, fuel injections systems, supercharging and turbo-supercharging. Emphasis is placed on the theory of operation, inspection, maintenance practices, and troubleshooting of each system.
-
3.00 Credits
To produce thrust and remain aloft, most general aviation (and a limited number of commuter and corporate aircraft) utilize engine-driven propellers. Aircraft propeller systems range from the relatively simple to extremely complex machines. In this course, the principles of operation, governing systems, and ice control will be covered for all types of aircraft propellers. Focus will be placed on propeller inspection, lubrication, service, repair, removal, and installation.
-
3.00 Credits
With aircraft electrical system integrity becoming a major factor in the operation of complex aircraft today, the need for understanding on-board power sources is essential to the technician. In this course, the design and theory behind some of the most common DC and AC power supply systems and their controls are covered, with emphasis placed on maintenance practices and troubleshooting procedures. Extensive hands-on practical study of wire terminations and connector contact techniques, including crimping and soldering, is also accomplished in this course.
-
5.00 Credits
Since the dawn of jet propulsion, turbine powered aircraft have gained in popularity and played a pivotal role in the expansion of the aviation industry. A thorough understanding of turbine engine theory and operation is vital to an aircraft maintenance technician. In this course, the theory and operation of aircraft turbine engines, the study of turbine engine construction and design, and principles of turbine engine maintenance, inspection, repair, and trouble-shooting will be presented. Application of procedures to remove, install, rig, and operationally test turbine engines will be accomplished along with the identification and repair of lubrication systems and components.
