Code: mk3agk2r04hx17-en
ECTS Credit Points: 4
Evaluation: official exam
Year, Semester: 2nd year, 1st semester
Its prerequisite(s): Aircraft General Knowledge I - Airframe, Systems, Power Plants (ATPL)
Further courses are built on it: Yes/No
Number of teaching hours/week (lecture + practice): 2+1
Topics:
The course (Part I and II together) teaches the comprehensive knowledge of Aircraft General Knowledge - Airframe/Systems/Powerplant to demonstrate a level that grants a succesfull authority exam according to FCL.515 ATPL - Training course and theoretical knowledge examinations.
Part II of the course covers the following main areas and give thorough information on:
,anti and de-icing systems, fuel system, protection and detection systems, oxygen systems,DC and AC electrics, switches, generators and alternators, aircraft electric power system, piston engines, lubrication, cooling, ignition, fuel, mixture, carburettors, turbine engines, air inlets, compressors, combustion chambers, exhaust, thrust, auxiliary power units, bleed air
By conducting the course the student will have the knowledge recommended by the EU legislation (AMC1 FCL.310; FCL.515 (b); FCL.615 (b) and will understand the complex technological background, structures, solutions used in airframes, systems and powerplants in aviation.
Learning Objectives (LOs) published by the European Comission are used when developing the Part-FCL theoretical knowledge elements of the course.
The course is aimed to contribute to the achievement of safe flight during their proposed pilot career. It is crucial that a pilot could be able to recognize the hazard and apply for the well-known procedures in this matter during a flight.

Requirements
A, for a signature:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, but not compulsory. Participation at practice classes is compulsory. A student must attend the practice classes and may not miss more than three times during the semester. In case a student does so, the subject will not be signed and the student must repeat the course. A student can’t make up any practice with another group. Attendance at practice classes will be recorded by the practice leader. Being late is equivalent with an absence. In case of further absences, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Missed practice classes should be made up for at a later date, to be discussed with the tutor.
B, for grade:
The course ends with an official examination as set out in the regulations of 1178/2011/EU, Part-FCL.
