This Module 13 Structures and Systems is split into two parts; electrical/avionic and mechanical.

The module starts off with a look at the Theory of Flight and how airflow, flight and their associated controls affects the operation of aeroplanes.

The avionics elements describe the layout and operation of the aircraft avionics and electrical systems, such as AutoFlight, Communications, Electrical Power and Distribution, Instruments, On-board maintenance systems, Integrated Modular Avionics, Information systems and Cabin systems.

The objective for this section is that the student should be able to describe and identify the basic system components, to describe the layout and fundamental operation of that system and how the systems may interact.

The mechanical section includes systems such as ice and rain protection, the generation of hydraulic power, flight controls, landing gear, fuel, fire protection, pneumatics, air conditioning and oxygen.

In each case the depth of study will be sufficient to enable the student to describe the layout of each system, and explain its operation and inter-action with other aircraft systems.
