OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	This course aims to provide students with basic propeller theory training, propeller disassembly kit, propeller lubrication, propeller maintenance, oil and grease leakage control. In the course; basic principles, propeller structure, propeller pitch control, propeller synchronization, propeller ice protection, propeller maintenance, propeller storage and preservation methods are covered in detail. In addition, propeller structure, maintenance and preservation methods are taught in accordance with the basic information content within the scope of SHT 66/EASA Part 66 Module 17A and the use of digital technical documents (AMM) within the scope of standard maintenance procedures. Within the scope of the course, propeller training in accordance with quality standards is provided based on both national (SHT-66) and international (EASA Part-66) legislations. Students gain professional competence in sectoral propeller maintenance processes by reinforcing theoretical knowledge with practice in a workshop environment.
Contents of the Course Unit:	In the course; basic principles, propeller structure, propeller pitch control, propeller synchronization, propeller ice protection, propeller maintenance, propeller storage and preservation methods are covered in detail.
