Course Description

Examines the inspection and repair of aircraft landing gear and hydraulic and pneumatic system components. Introduces various airframe systems, specifically position and warning systems. Prerequisites: AMT 261. Audit available.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Inspect and safely perform maintenance and repair of aircraft landing gear, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and their components, in accordance with the manufacturer's service manuals, acceptable industry practices, and applicable regulations.
  2. Identify and apply basic theory and computation skills regarding hydraulic and pneumatic power as they relate to landing gear and various aircraft structure mechanical advantage devices.
  3. Identify and apply the principles of function and safe operation of landing gear, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and position and warning systems.
  4. Inspect and service or repair speed and configuration warning systems, electrical brake controls and antiskid systems.

Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

Evaluations by exams, quizzes and lab work.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.
