Course Description
Addendum to Course Description
This course is part of a Program designed to meet some of the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for certification of Aviation Mechanics, and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Upon completion of the Program the student should be able to:
- Meet the applicable Degree and/or Certificate Outcomes identified in the document found at www.pcc.edu/degree-outcomes/amt as appropriate to coursework level completed.
- Successfully complete FAA Knowledge testing, as identified in the following documents, as appropriate:
- 14 CFR Part 65—Certification: Airmen Other Than Flight Crewmembers
- FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Matrix
(Currently available at www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/testing_matrix) - FAA Order 8080.6H (or latest revision)—Conduct of Airman Knowledge Tests
- Successfully complete FAA Oral and Practical (knowledge and skill) testing, as identified in the following documents, as appropriate:
-
FAA-S-ACS-1 (or latest revision)—Aviation Mechanic General, Airframe, and Powerplant Airman Certification Standards (ACS)
(Currently available at www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/acs) - FAA-G-ACS-1 (or latest revision)—Companion Guide to the Aviation Mechanic ACS
- 14 CFR Part 65—Certification: Airmen Other Than Flight Crewmembers
-
FAA-S-ACS-1 (or latest revision)—Aviation Mechanic General, Airframe, and Powerplant Airman Certification Standards (ACS)
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
- Identify and apply the principles of function and safe operation of aircraft landing gear, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and their components when operating and maintaining aircraft.
- Inspect and safely perform maintenance and troubleshoot aircraft landing gear, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and their components, in accordance with the manufacturer's service manuals, acceptable industry practices, and applicable regulations.
- Identify and apply basic theory and computation skills regarding hydraulic and pneumatic power as they relate to landing gear and various aircraft structure mechanical advantage devices.
Course Activities and Design
Concepts, knowledge, and theory will be introduced through a variety of methods including lecture, discussions, and demonstration sessions, supported by written instructional materials. Supervised lab and shop projects will give participants the opportunity to receive guided instruction, engage in “hands-on” skill and proficiency development, and gain experience in the methods, techniques, and practices that are acceptable to the FAA and commonly utilized in the aerospace industry.
Courses are designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in the testing required for FAA certification of Aviation Maintenance Technicians, as well as entry-level employment in the industry.
The assignment of four credit hours to this course indicates that students will be involved with the course content for approximately 120 hours. Class participants will be expected to invest time outside of the official scheduled class hours in their efforts to master the course content. For this course to be creditable toward the FAA-authorized Certificate of Completion, the total hours recorded for the course must not be less than 90% of the hours offered during the module (typically 90 hours). Material missed by students during allowed absence will be made available to them in one or more ways, as selected by the instructor. The student is responsible for checking with the instructor following any absence, and for accessing the missed material that is made available.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
Evaluation methods include written and oral testing, attendance and class participation, and satisfactory completion of class projects. Evaluations and assessments will be conducted in accordance with guidelines published by the FAA (including, but not limited to, the documents identified in the Addendum to Course Description section of this CCOG), as well as applicable PCC policies and grading standards. A letter grade of “C” (minimum 76%) or higher is required for this course to be creditable toward the FAA-authorized Certificate of Completion.
Course Content (Themes, Concepts, Issues and Skills)
This course is designed to comply with FAA requirements for content including, but not limited to, those identified in the Addendum to Course Description section, and principally outlined in the Aviation Mechanic Airman Certification Standards (FAA-S-ACS-1). The following subject matter areas refer to that document.
II.E. – Landing Gear Systems- Jack aircraft.
