AMP3365 INDUCTION, COOLING & EXHAUST SYSTEMS I

3 Credit Hours

Student Level:

This course is open to students on the college level in either the Freshman or Sophomore year.

Catalog Description:

AMP3365 - Induction, Cooling & Exhaust Systems I (3 hrs.)

This course introduces the student to the operating principles of engine induction, cooling systems, and their components.  Students will learn to inspect, troubleshoot, and service ice and rain systems, airflow and temperature control systems, air intake and carburetor manifolds, and engine cooling systems. This course is the first in a two-course series.

Course Classification:

Lecture/Lab

Prerequisites:

Entry is contingent on completion of the FAA General Curriculum: AMG 3350, 3351, 3352, 3353, 3354, & 3355.

Controlling Purpose:

As part of the Aviation Mechanic - Powerplant program as outlined by the FAA Part 147 document, a minimum of 750 hours of Powerplant Curriculum training is required.  The structure of this course, part one in a two-part series, is designed to provide a portion of the minimum of 134 hours of Induction and Engine Airflow Systems, Engine Cooling Systems, and Engine Exhaust and Reverser Systems curriculum as outlined in Appendix D to Part 147 - General Curriculum Subjects.
