Description
Fundamentals of mathematics, physics, and drawings as they apply to aircraft principles and operations as required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for airframe and powerplant mechanics.
Upon successful completion, students will be able to: extract roots and raise numbers to a given power; calculate areas and volumes of various geometrical shapes; solve ratio, proportion, and percentage problems; and perform algebraic operations. Apply the principles of simple machines, sound, fluid, and heat dynamics; basic aerodynamics; aircraft structures; and theory of flight. Interpret aircraft drawings, symbols, and system schematics; draw sketches of repairs and alterations; and interpret blueprint information, graphs, and charts.
