Aircraft Landing Gear and Fluid Power Systems

Catalog description

A study of the design and application of compressible and incompressible fluid power systems used in both simple and complex aircraft flight control, auxiliary, emergency, and landing gear systems. Emphasis on landing gear and deceleration systems to include components, structures, operation, and fault analysis of shock struts, position and warning, single and multiple disk brakes, anti-skid, wheel assemblies, retraction and extension systems and methods of emergency landing gear extension. Topics include landing gear door operation and sequencing. Students practice inspection, servicing, repair and troubleshooting of key fluid power and landing gear systems necessary to ensure continued airworthiness of these systems.
