This section concludes the discussion of Metallic Aircraft Structures with a detailed description of the types, tools, materials and methods of welding for aircraft construction, maintenance and repair. The students will inspect, check, service, troubleshoot and repair these systems and will learn to work safely with these fluids and their pressurized containers. This section includes lectures and schematic diagrams of these systems, exploded views of the assemblies, and illustrations of the workings of brake control systems and the required maintenance.
Basic electricity is taught along with typical airframe electrical circuits.
The student will learn both general diagram symbols and specific electrical systems along with industry accepted methods of installation and proper testing equipment used. The student will learn these systems in order to service them efficiently and safely. This section describes the various aircraft fuels, and explains the fuel system requirements. 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.
