Basic Electricity for the AMT

Catalog description

The aircraft that are being manufactured today have become more dependant on electronics and electrical systems. An understanding of basic electrical concepts is essential to the success of the modern aircraft maintenance technician. In this course, students will develop a fundamental understanding of basic electrical circuits with an emphasis on airborne installations. AC and DC electrical theory and practical application will be accomplished and proven through extensive experimentation and calculations. Aircraft maintenance practices as they relate to batteries, power calculations, and the relationship of voltage, current, and resistance will be examined, as well as precision measurement of these values on operational circuits.
