AER 2014 - Reciprocating Engine Theory & Repair


5 cr
This class begins with reciprocating engine theory to include such subject areas as power calculations, induction/exhaust/cooling systems, general engine construction, testing and measuring of engine parts. Next, students learn to perform a 100-hour powerplant inspection which includes an Airworthiness Directive and engine conformity research. Students conclude with the removal of an engine to disassemble, clean, inspect and measure all internal parts. The engine is then reassembled and reinstalled on the aircraft. An engine run-up is performed to check all critical functions. Any issues with the engine are diagnosed and repaired.

Lecture/Lab: 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of lab
