10 courses with the subject PP, 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.
PP10-201Reciprocating Engine and Engine Instruments3
In this course, students explore the various types of reciprocating engines and their applications. They learn to recognize and classify the different types of engines used in the aviation industry. Additionally, students learn how engines turn gasoline into motion (Otto Cycle). By the conclusion of the course, students are prepared to run reciprocating engines, having learned about their complex instrument systems.
In this course, students gain an understanding of float-type carburetors, pressure-type carburetors, and continuous-flow fuel injection theory and operation. The course also includes inspection, removal, and adjustment of carburetors, as well as an explanation of the physics required for a carbureted engine to function. Students will acquire knowledge of the pressures of a fuel injection system, its injectors, and their operation. This course provides students with skills in the inspection, troubleshooting, service, and repair of reciprocating engine induction and exhaust components, operation, and inspection including turbochargers, superchargers, heat exchangers, airflow and temperature controls, and engine ice and rain control systems.
This course offers hands-on experience in disassembling, inspecting, timing, and reassembling magnetos, removing, inspecting, checking, troubleshooting, and reinstalling ignition wiring. Sparkplug operation, cleaning, and testing will be demonstrated and performed by the students. High-tension wires and magneto operations will be examined.
This course provides students with skills in the identification of lubricants and their functions. It includes identifying, servicing, and adjusting the components, installing rings and lines, interpreting FAA regulations pertaining to oil tanks, and disassembling and reassembling engine oil pumps. Students will become familiar with the theory of aircraft propellers, installation procedures, major and minor repair, balancing, tracking, government regulations, and the applications of propellers and governors. They will also gain an understanding of service and repair propeller synchronizing propeller lubricants balancing and repair of propeller control systems. Students will also inspect, service, and repair fixed-pitch, constant-speed, and feathering propellers and governing systems, as well as learn to install and remove propellers and repair aluminum propeller blades.
PP10-205Reciprocating Engine Inspection and Overhaul2.5
This course provides students with hands-on experience with the theories behind reciprocating engines, including inspection, servicing, repair, and overhaul of opposed engines. Standard operating procedures such as shop safety and equipment protection will be emphasized. Engine removal, troubleshooting, and engine installation are emphasized as well as disassembly, inspection, and reassembly. Several key measurements such as piston wear will be taken and recorded using precision measuring devices such as micrometers. Reassembly by students will include the use of tools such as torque wrenches and cylinder base wrenches as required.
PP10-206Powerplant Fire Protection, AD Research, Measurements and Troubleshooting2.5
In this course, students utilize approved maintenance publications and Federal Aviation Administration databases such as the Airworthiness Directive catalog to practice the systematic identification of problems that develop in engine systems, such as intake, fuel delivery, ignition, and exhaust. Faults introduced to training engines by design are identified and corrected by students to allow an engine to run on a test stand. In this course, students will be exposed to fire detection, warning, and protection systems as they relate to the powerplant. The students will learn how to inspect, check, service, troubleshoot and repair engine fire detection and extinguishing systems.
PP10-207Basic Physics for Turbine Designs and Operations3
This course begins by introducing students to the historical development of the gas turbine engine. Students then gain an understanding of the physics and construction behind turbine engine operation. Additionally, students learn about the individual turbine engine sections and their individual operations. Lastly, students are trained to understand the principles of operation and physical characteristics of turbojet type engines. Various applications of turbojet type engines will be covered.
In this course, students gain a fundamental understanding of accessories and auxiliary turbine engine systems, such as engine ignition, fuel, thrust augmentation, bleed air, and others. All accessories used to support the turbine engine will be explained and diagrammed for students.
PP10-209Turbine Inspection, Overhaul, and Maintenance2.5
In this course, students are introduced to the maintenance and inspections required for turbine engines. This course utilizes approved maintenance publications and Federal Aviation Administration databases such as the Airworthiness Directive catalog. Inspection techniques such as borescope inspection are included in this course. Students are exposed to the overhaul procedures of turbine engines.
PP10-210Turbine Engine Instruments and Troubleshooting2.5
In this course, students are introduced to engine locations to facilitate maintenance. Students are introduced to the instrument systems required for turbine engines, troubleshooting techniques, and guidelines used for turbine engine repair. This course utilizes approved maintenance publications, as well as maintenance manuals and Federal Aviation Administration databases such as the Airworthiness Directive catalog.
