Aircraft Electrical Systems

Catalog description

A review and advanced study of DC/AC circuits, and laws relating to circuit analysis and a detailed study of measuring instruments applied to aircraft. Study of relays, switches, alternators, and other devices encountered in circuit analysis, troubleshooting, and repair. Theory of operation and fault isolation on solid-state devices in aircraft circuitry. Inspection of aircraft electrical systems, including wire inspections and the types of repairs allowed using appropriate technical manuals. A study of battery, magneto high and low tension ignition systems, including turbine igniters. Also a study of powerplant starting ad charging systems and related components. Emphasis on effective fault diagnostics, repair, and timing of aircraft ignition systems.
