1 certification unit credit(s)
A detailed study is made of aircraft weight and balance. Topics include aircraft empty weight, alterations on the center of gravity, adverse loading, corrections for overweight loading, corrections for out-of-center of gravity range loading, weight shifting and aircraft loading charts. Laboratory projects supplement classroom work. An introduction to the concepts of current, voltage, resistance, and power. Coordinated lecture and laboratory sessions provide theory and practical experience in the analysis of circuits, use of electrical instruments and construction and maintenance of components, all typical of aircraft electrical systems.
