OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS |
|
---|---|
Objectives of the Course Unit: | This course aims to enable students to comprehend the operation of various systems in aircraft and effectively analyze the systems encountered during maintenance and repair processes. It provides a comprehensive examination of fundamental aircraft systems, including flight controls, fuel systems, hydraulic power, ice and rain protection systems, landing gear, and lighting systems, focusing on their maintenance, repair, troubleshooting, and operational requirements. |
Contents of the Course Unit: | The course begins with flight controls, offering a detailed analysis of aircraft control surfaces, load controls, high-lift devices, and system operation mechanisms (manual, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and fly-by-wire). The functionality of fuel systems is explored, with an emphasis on fuel tanks, feed systems, cross-feed, refueling, and defueling operations. Hydraulic power systems are explained in terms of fluids, pumps, pressure generation, power distribution, and the principles of accumulators. Ice and rain protection systems are addressed, covering ice prevention and removal, rain repellent, and wiper systems. Additionally, landing gear systems are detailed, including shock absorption, braking systems, wheels, tires, auto-braking, and anti-skid systems. Finally, external and internal lighting systems on aircraft, such as navigation lights, emergency lighting, and cabin illumination, are included in the curriculum. Through this course, students gain an in-depth understanding of the operational principles and maintenance requirements of aircraft systems, equipping them with the knowledge needed for effective aircraft maintenance and repair operations. |
