Technology — Aircraft Instument Bepair the safe conduct of flight operations. Further objectives of the program are those which move the student from the elementary understanding of aeronautical subjects to an in-depth professional understanding of all elements of aeronautical knowledge that have a direct bearing on pilot performance. For further information, please contact the Division of Continuing Education. Courses of Instruction 1. Basic Ground School—An introductory course in aeronautical knowledge designed to give students a basic understanding of elements involved in air navigation procedures, pilot meteorology, aircraft performance, Federal Aviation rules and regulations and other subject areas having a relationship to Private Pilot performance. At the completion of this course, students should be prepared to take the F.A.A. written examination for the Private Pilot License. A Su (4) Sanders 2. Advanced Ground School—An advanced course in aeronautical knowledge designed to give students an advanced level of understanding of flight subjects necessary for adequate performance at the Commercial Pilot level. Studies include airplane performance and stability, aircraft powerplant operations, advanced flight meteorology, and advanced flight navigation. At the completion of this course, students should be prepared to take the F.A.A. written examination for the Commercial Pilot License. Students must have successfully passed the Private Pilot written examination prior to enrollment in this course. W (3) Sanders 3. Instrument Ground School—An advanced course in special aeronautical subject areas referring to pilot performance during instrument flight. Students are given an understanding of all Federal Aviation rules, regulations and procedures pertaining to flight under instrument conditions. Specialized study is also made of flight navigation and meteorology in the instrument flight environment. Students should be ready to take the F.A.A. written examination for the Instrument Rating at the completion of this course. Students should have passed the F.A.A. Commercial Pilot written examination prior to enrollment. S (3) Sanders 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 332 Technology — Aircraft Instrument Bepair 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 21. 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 the 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 power plant sequence. A (5) Staff 22. 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) Staff 23. 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) Staff 24. 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) Staff 25. Applied Trigonometry—A course designed to introduce the trigonometric functions and their properties as useful analytical tools. W (3) Staff 333
