Description
A study of aircraft electrical systems and their requirements including the use of ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter; series and parallel circuits; inductance and capacitance; magnetism; converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC); controlling devices; maintenance and servicing of aircraft batteries; and reading and interpreting aircraft electrical diagrams to include solid state devices and logic functions. Fundamentals of safety also addressed.
Upon successful completion, students will be able to: calculate and measure capacitance, inductance, electrical power, voltage, current, resistance, and continuity; determine the relationship of voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits; interpret aircraft electrical circuit diagrams including solid states devices and logic functions; inspect and service batteries; and perform safety procedures.
