Entry knowledge
Basic knowledge of physics and thermodynamics. Prerequisites and co-requisites Completion of DLT – Basics of aircraft design.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Condition for granting the credit is 80% attendance at lectures. Absence hours can be replaced by independent study and independent processing of prescribed tasks. Graded course-unit credit is based on test results
If presence at lectures is less then 80%, students have to prove elaborated tasks and completed parts from missed lectures. Missed lectures can be compensated in a very limited extend by consultations with the lecturer.
Aims
The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of aircraft systems so that they understand their function in terms of characteristics, reliability and safety of air traffic.
Students will gain knowledge and basic experience in the field of hydraulic and pneumatic systems of aircraft. Furthermore, about odmarazovací and fuel systems. This knowledge is necessary to successfully pass theoretical examinations for subsequent pilot training.
