AVT 201 - Aircraft Systems


Credits: 3
3 Lecture Hours

Prerequisites: AVT 101  

 
Description
This course is a study of the components and operation of the systems of an aircraft, including hydraulic, electrical, fuel, oil, pressurization, mechanicals, anti-icing, and the interrelationship of directional guidance. Also studied are engine/propulsion systems ranging from basic piston engines to sophisticated jet propulsion.


Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

  1. Analyze the physics of aircraft engines, reciprocating/jet engine theory.
  2. Demonstrate the operational considerations of complex aircraft systems, propeller and governors, fuel systems, turbo-charging, super-charging, and landing gear systems.
  3. Examine pneumatic and de-ice and rain systems.
  4. Investigate aircraft structures and flight control systems.
  5. Demonstrate the concepts and practical application of aircraft weight and balance.
  6. Explore aircraft inspections and pilot maintenance.
  7. Demonstrate the concepts Boeing 737 system integration and operation.
