8 courses with the subject AF, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
AF10-201Basic Sheet Metal2.5
Throughout this course, students receive a general introduction to FAA’s requirements for sheet metal fabrication and repair. Industry-standard practices such as de-burring metal to prevent cracking and failure will be included. Proper interpretation of repair drawings as well as the process of developing a repair plan are discussed and applied to publications. This course includes layouts, bends in sheet metal, forming, and stressed skin repairs. Fasteners such as NAS1097 rivets, MS20470 rivets, AN470 rivets, MS20426 rivets, and AN426 rivets are selected and installed as per print. Repair procedures and requirements are evaluated and employed during this phase of training.
In this course, students develop advanced sheet metal skills and techniques used in the workplace. Students will gain an understanding of the use of advanced hardware such as Hi-Loks, Cherry Max Rivets, and Taper-Lock fasteners. The advanced fabrication skills gained in the course provide significant handson experience that prepares students for careers focused on sheet metal repair and fabrication. Welding is also discussed at an entry-level, covering the fundamental operations such as MIG, TIG, and oxyacetylene equipment operation and safety are explored.
This course introduces students to some of the historically traditional aircraft building materials and techniques, like wood and fabric. Additionally, they study the complex construction of today’s aircraft such as fiberglass and Kevlar, then the students create simple projects using such materials.
AF10-204Non-Metallic Structures and Aircraft Finishes2.5
In this course, students fabricate composite project(s) utilizing techniques within the industry while practicing safety precautions as outlined by OSHA standards. Students learn to identify aircraft dopes, paints, thinners, and related materials. Application of materials, an inspection of finishes, and recognition of defects are all completed by the students. Students also learn to apply trim, letters, and touchup paint; identify and select aircraft finishing materials; apply finishing materials; inspect finishes and identify defects.
This course covers the theory of flight and explains correct aircraft nomenclature for both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. It includes verification of structural alignment, control responses, and balancing. Aircraft components and cabling assembly, inspection, and repair are completed by students. This course also covers aircraft fuel systems and all associated components from the fueling point to the combustion chamber. Students will learn to check and service fuel dump systems; perform fuel management transfer and defueling; inspect, check, and repair pressure fueling systems; repair aircraft fuel system components; inspect and repair fluid quantity indicating systems; troubleshoot, service, and repair fluid pressure and temperature warning systems; and inspect, check, service, troubleshoot and repair aircraft fuel systems.
AF10-207Airframe Electrical II, Airframe Instruments and Airframe Fire Protection2.5
This course will familiarize students with basic airframe and powerplant electrical installation and troubleshooting. Component identification by location and function will be included. Troubleshooting and fault isolation will be demonstrated and practiced by students. This course also contains the theory of all instruments and instrument systems used for flight and navigation of an aircraft. The students will develop an understanding of avionics at the systems level and how data is transferred in those systems.
AF10-209Hydraulics and Pneumatics; Landing Gear Systems2.5
This course acquaints students with basic hydraulic and pneumatic principles, operation, and servicing of equipment. It includes information covering fluids, washers, seals, pressures, and component repair. Basic theory is reinforced through hands-on activities such as the inspection of a hydraulic pump for efficiency after a detailed disassembly and reassembly by the student. The study of landing gear systems increases the students’ knowledge of how hydraulic and pneumatic systems are incorporated into landing gear systems, including operation, tires, and anti-skid brakes. This course includes a discussion of inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of systems. Hands-on activities include oleo strut identification and disassembly, brake system inspection to include pad wear, and rotor measurement.
AF10-210Airframe Environmental Systems and Performance Analysis3
This course trains students on the inspection, troubleshooting, service, and repair of heating, cooling, air conditioning, pressurization systems, and air cycle machines. Students will learn to inspect, operate, troubleshoot, service, and repair oxygen systems. Students will also be exposed to ice and rain systems, maintenance, and installation. Students will gain knowledge of fire detection, warning, and protection systems as they relate to the airframe. Students will be required to perform airframe conformity and airworthiness inspections including 100 hour and annual type. The process will include the proper completion of all required records and forms. This process will be conducted in a lock-step fashion using approved maintenance manuals and inspection techniques. Any defect will be recorded, and a logbook entry will be completed. Also included is an Airworthy Directive search for compliance with the FARs.
