Aircraft Instrument Repair Auto Body Automotive Service Aviation Cosmetology Diesel Service Machine Tool Welding AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENT REPAIR The Aircraft Instrument Repair Program is a three quarter program designed to meet the needs of industry. Students interested in this program should be high school graduates or equivalent or eighteen years of age. They must meet the physical and aptitude requirements necessary to achieve in this area. Prerequisite classes relative to this program are not mandatory; however, one should have a working knowledge of mathematical principles and have a desire to work in the area of electronics. Courses of Instruction 121. Measuring Principles I—A combined theory and lab course designed to teach the theory, mechanical construction, repair and calibration of the most common pressure and mechanical transducers now employed in modern aircraft. Emphasis is placed on the relationship of natural physical laws to interpretation and use of test facility data. The principles which apply to the understanding and repair of pressure systems as well as the standard pneumatic indicators are all illustrated in the lab. Students are given the opportunity to overhaul and calibrate the most common instruments found in the pitot static and powei plant sequence. (A (5) 122. Measuring Principles II—A combined theory and lab class which presents the basic principles and methods used in repairing and testing gyro and synchro devices. Emphasis is placed upon the construction, operation and testing of such devices while employing principles acquired in the study of basic electricity and mathematics. The theory focuses on the relationship of pressure and motor driven devices to the measurement of displacement, rate and/or position changes. Students are given the opportunity to overhaul and repair synchro indicators, pressure transmitters, basic tachometers, and the complete basic gyro group found in most aircraft today. W (5) 123. Introduction to Control Systems—A combined theory and lab course designed to prepare the student for work in the area of navigational computers, directional and stabilized platform gyro systems and Central Air Data Computer Systems. The course is designed to teach the language of computers, and theory of the navigational and airspeed-altitude problem, concepts of modular repair, system analysis, and the correct procedures used for the disassembly, reassembly and calibration of such systems. The student is given the opportunity to perform the initial repair procedures on the directional gyro and navigational computer system which is basic to all other systems now in use. S (5) 124. Applied Algebra—A course designed to acquaint the student with the fundamental laws and principles of algebra and the application of these laws to the solution of practical problems. A (3) 125. Applied Trigonometry—A course designed to introduce the trigonometric functions and their properties as useful analytical tools. W (3) 126. Applied Mathematics—A course utilizing both algebra and trigonometry in the analysis and solution of problems pertinent to aircraft instrumentation. S (3) 127. Use and Interpretation of Industrial Drawings—Provide the student with the necessary background to read and interpret accurately the material presented in various types of industrial drawings. Material such as orthographic projection, sketching, dimensions, tolerances, notes and symbols, military standards and technical manuals are presented. A (3) 128. Use and Interpretation of Electrical and Electronic Drawings—Instruction and application of components, assemblies, electrical and electronic symbols, block diagrams, schematic diagrams, connection and wiring harness diagrams, and printed circuits.
