OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	This course aims to teach the fundamental components of aircraft systems, with a focus on flight control surfaces, stabilizers, nacelles, air conditioning, and cabin pressurization systems. Students will gain knowledge about the structure, operation, and maintenance requirements of these systems, providing insight into the critical components involved in aircraft maintenance and repair.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The course begins with the structure of aircraft stabilizers and the connections of control surfaces. Methods for balancing flight control surfaces, including concepts of mass and aerodynamic balancing, are explained. The structure of nacelles, firewalls, and engine connections are also addressed. Additionally, the course covers air conditioning and cabin pressurization systems in detail. The operating principles of air conditioning systems, air flow, temperature and humidity control, pressurization systems, as well as control and safety valves, are thoroughly explored. Safety and warning devices, along with other critical systems regulating the aircraft's internal environment, are examined in-depth. This course provides the essential knowledge required to ensure the safe and efficient operation of systems in aircraft maintenance and repair.
