10 courses with the subject AV, 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.
AV 102The Documents of Aeronautics 45/0/3.0
An overview and study of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) pertinent to aircraft maintenance and the associated documents, publications, records, and weight and balance computations for the beginner in Aeronautics. The course includes basic aeronautical theories and concepts to aid the student in understanding their application to the applicable forms and documents. WWW.NCI.EDU 2026-2027 CATALOG VOLUME 40 | 79
An in-depth study of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) as they apply to the daily functioning of the U.S. aviation industry within the National Airspace System. The broad range of rules and regulations governing the issuance of certificates, licensure, and ratings, and the regulatory conditions by which these documents are necessary. The legislative process by which a bill becomes law is highlighted as well as the regulatory process within the FAA: The Administrator’s responsibilities, NPRMs, petitions for ruling, etc.
An overview of aviation history from the earliest myth and legend to the present day. The course emphasizes U.S. aviation industry development and the evolution of early government regulation and control. U.S. and international acts and conventions and their historical impact on national defense, public opinion, and individual rights, are discussed.
A comprehensive examination of aviation accident prevention, and identification of the underlying human factors that contribute to aviation accidents. Emphasis is given to recognition of the impact an accident has on the aviation industry and the resultant safety prevention responsibilities are evaluated.
A detailed analysis of maintenance regulations, structure, capabilities, and limitations of maintenance organizations. Management requirements and responsibilities directly related to the aircraft maintenance effort are analyzed and applied to the maintenance functions accomplished at depot and airport level facilities. Maintenance inspection and reporting requirements are included.
An introduction to the various types of aircraft structures. Areas covered will include control, lift, modeling, modifying, and powerplant mounting structures. Basic aerodynamic principles such as lift, drag, airfoils, and the effect of atmospheric conditions regarding stress will also be discussed. Basic sheet metal techniques, bonded structure construction, wood construction repair and inspection will be utilized. Welding and fabrication techniques of tubular structures are also included.
An introduction to the aviation maintenance skills required on aircraft systems. Areas covered are ice and rain protection, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems, landing gears systems, fire protection systems, aircraft electrical systems, aircraft instrument systems, communications and navigation systems, cabin atmosphere control systems and aircraft fuel systems.
