Course Learning Outcomes
- Discuss the methods used to propel an aircraft; aircraft powerplant configurations; manufacturers and classification used by the aviation industry; the principles of operation and mechanics behind energy transformation; the factors effecting power and the distribution of power; propeller components; and typical nomenclature used in the inspection, servicing, and repairs of aircraft engines.
- Identify different parts of an aircraft and demonstrate how to assemble and disassemble them using technical data.
- Describe how aircraft engines work.
- Identify different types of damage and demonstrate the methods used to repair that damage.
- Discuss aircraft engine components and their purpose; perform visual, dimensional, and non-destructive inspections used in aircraft reciprocating engine overhaul; and demonstrate the proper methods of cleaning and storing engine components in preparation for inspection, repair, or overhaul.
- Discuss the scope of work required of an A&P mechanic during routine and non-routine inspections.
- Describe the principles of hydraulic and pneumatic power systems, and the system requirements for small and large aircraft by comparison of their needs; identify hydraulic, electrical, and pneumatic system components both physically and operationally (including hydraulic fluids) and match them with their proper seal, line and “O” ring materials; and identify and discuss the basic mechanics used to power or transfer information on aircraft/engine instrument systems.
- Identify different control surfaces and their specific purpose, and demonstrate inspection and maintenance.
- Demonstrate the safe procedure for jacking aircraft and making it safe while jacked.
