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