AMP 222 Reciprocating Engine Inspections and Propellers
This course is a study of engine instruments, electrical systems, ignition systems, study of aircraft powerplant inspections, as well as the physical laws and characteristics governing propeller operation. Emphasis is placed on the theory of operation of these systems, analysis of system performance and faults, interpretations of instrument indications, the performance of powerplant conformity and airworthiness inspections, and understanding of fixed and variable pitch propellers. Upon completion, students should be able to read and interpret instrument readings, analyze faults in instruments and electrical and ignition systems, and perform conformity and airworthiness inspections of reciprocating engines. Student should be able to demonstrate an understanding of propeller fundamentals; and remove, repair, troubleshoot, and install propellers.
