AERODYNAMICS

The course for AERODYNAMICS is a basic course on this topic starting with an introduction to the atmosphere and subsonic aerodynamics, including airflow around bodies, wing shapes, airfoil terminology, and drag. The generation of lift and drag, as well as the theory of flight and stability, are also covered. High-speed aerodynamics, including the speed of sound, Mach number, compressibility, shock waves, and air intakes, are discussed as well. The course also touches on means to increase maximum lift, decrease the lift-to-drag ratio, and understand stall behavior. (Training time: 3 hours)

PISTON ENGINES

The curriculum for the PISTON ENGINES course covers various topics such as piston engines operation and configuration, fuel, carburettor-injection system, exhaust systems, air cooling systems, lubrication systems, starting and ignition circuits, mixture control, piston engines performance and efficiency, factors affecting engine power, engine indicating, performance and engine handling. The course also includes a progress check for Piston Engines. (Training time: 3 hours)

TURBINE ENGINES

The course on TURBINE ENGINES starts with an introduction to turbine engines. It compares engine designs and overviews of different types of turbine engines such as turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines. The course also includes chapters on engine construction, air inlet ducts, combustion sections, engine indication, engine fire detection and extinguishing, and turbofan cowlings, mounts and seals. (Training time: 4 hours)

TURBOPROP ENGINES

The TURBOPROP ENGINES training focuses specifically on the Pratt and Whitney PW 123 B engine. The course starts with an introduction to the turboprop engines, discussing its modular design which consists of a reduction gearbox module and a turbomachinery module. The turbomachinery is a three concentric shaft design that includes a high pressure centrifugal compressor, low pressure compressor, high pressure turbine, low pressure turbine, power turbine, and drive shaft. The second Part covers Auxillary Power Units APU's. (Training time: 2 hours)

PROPELLER

In the fifth new course on PROPELLER you can explore the basics of propeller maintenance for piston engines. Topics include propeller fundamentals, forces acting on the propeller, construction methods and materials, reduction gear box, types of propellers, propeller spinner, feathering and reverse pitch, overspeed protection, synchronizing and synchrophasing, fluid and electrical de-icing equipment, static and dynamic balancing, assessment of blade damage. (Training time: 1,5 hours)
