This category A Turbine Aeroplane, Aerodynamics, Structures & Systems module is split into two parts; mechanical and electrical/avionic.
The mechanical section deals with elements of aerodynamics, the structure, construction and mechanics of those systems. It first looks at the Theory of Flight and how airflow and flight affects the design and operation of aeroplanes. The system elements describe the layout and operation of the aircraft mechanical systems such as ice and rain protection, the generation of hydraulic power, flight controls, landing gear, fuel, fire protection, pneumatics, air conditioning and oxygen.
The objective for this section is that the student should be able to give a simple description of the whole subject, using common words and examples.
The electrical/avionic section includes an introduction to instrument systems: pitot-static for measuring airspeed and altitude, remote and direct reading compasses, and gyroscopic flight instruments, and an overview of a number of avionic systems including on-board maintenance systems. Electrical Power Generation and Distribution along with Internal and External lighting is also covered within this part of the module.
In each case the depth of study will be sufficient to enable the student to give a simple description of the whole subject, using common words and examples.
