EDUC 1030

Course Description:
General Fundamentals II will instruct the student in the use of aircraft drawings, symbols, and system schematics. Draw sketches of repairs and alterations, use blueprint information, and use graphs and charts. The student is introduced to the theory of aircraft weight and balance and to weight and balance information found in Type Certificate Data Sheets and manufacturers’ manuals. The procedures for weighing an aircraft are demonstrated, and the student is taught the way to find the aircraft center of gravity and to perform adverse-loaded center of gravity checks. The student will be able to recognize turbine fuel and aviation gasoline. He or she will be able to start aircraft engines and understand the precautions that must be taken when operating an air­ craft engine, moving an aircraft, and securing it for inclement weather.
