Credit(s) | $300 Fee The Federal Aviation Administration-approved Aircraft Maintenance Technician program (14 CFR 147) requires the successful completion of a minimum of 1,900 hours of study (43 university credit hours at SUU) divided into three subject areas (General, Airframe, and Powerplant) and the successful completion of three FAA written, oral, and practical exams (General, Airframe, and Powerplant). This course is one of a group of five courses that are designed to meet the regulatory and content requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation 14 CFR 147 for the General portion of the A&P license. Content: piston engine theory, power and weight, durability and reliability, engine types, engine sections, crankshafts, connecting rods, pistons and rings, cylinders, firing order, valves and cam shafts, bearings, compression ratio, and horsepower and torque. (As Needed) [Graded Letter]
Credit(s) | $3,000 Fee This course has been designed to meet the regulatory and content requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation 14 CFR 147 for the Powerplant portion of the A&P license. Course instructions identify and satisfy all current Airman Certification Standards. Course Content: This course offers an in-depth exploration of reciprocating engine systems, focusing on various engine types such as radial, diesel, 4-stroke, and 2-stroke engines. Students will engage in hands-on labs covering engine teardown, inspection, and reassembly, specifically working with the Lycoming O-320 (or equivalent). The course emphasizes precision measurement, tool usage, lubrication, cooling, and induction systems, as well as safety protocols and maintenance procedures. Additional topics include magneto systems, fuel systems, engine starting systems, and instrumentation troubleshooting. Students will also perform 100-hour inspections and engine performance checks, preparing for practical maintenance and repair tasks in aviation environments. (Fall, Spring, Summer) [Graded Letter]
Credit(s) | $4,200 Fee This course has been designed to meet the regulatory and content requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation 14 CFR 147 for the Powerplant portion of the A&P license. Course instructions identify and satisfy all current Airman Certification Standards. This course focuses on the Rolls Royce M250 turbine engine (or equivalent), providing a comprehensive introduction to turbine engine components and maintenance procedures. Additionally this course will focus on principles and theories of operation concerning turbo fan/prop/shaft type engine systems. Students will engage in teardown and reassembly labs, covering key areas such as fuel distribution, lubrication, compressor and turbine blade repairs, and engine inspection techniques. The course also includes hands-on experience with propeller theory, blade repairs, and auxiliary power units (APUs).
