This course also introduces fire protection systems, and shows that fire is an ever possible danger in an aircraft, and that the student must be aware of the nature of fire and the appropriate methods and agents for detecting and extinguishing aircraft fires. This section explains how these protection systems work. This course also covers ice and rain control systems, which provides the student with information on systems that prevent the formation of ice on an aircraft structure and those that remove ice after it forms. This section describes the instruments and the basic operating principles of the systems that run them. The student will learn the installation and maintenance of these systems.
Aircraft depend upon electronic navigation and communication equipment.
The student will learn their responsibility for determining the condition of the installed equipment and its interface with the aircraft itself. The student will also receive a detailed discussion of communication and navigation systems, as well as basic radio theory, to provide the understanding of how these systems should work. The course includes the operation of fuel metering components, induction and exhaust systems, heat dissipation, and starter systems. The course includes the operation of fuel metering components, induction and exhaust systems, method of heat dissipation, and starter systems. A knowledge of the conditions in an aircraft engine allows the flight crew to operate it in the most efficient and safest manner.
