SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this lecture is to teach the students about the planes and the main plane parts such as; fusulage, wings, tail, landing gear and the engines.

Course Content:

In this course students will learn how a plane flies, which forces are acting on an aeroplane, what are the control surfaces of an aorplane (aileron, flaps, slots, elevators, rudder and other control parts), also the movement axis of the planes ( roll, pitch, yaw axis), take off, landing and turning of the plane, propellers, engines (diesel, wankel, roket & jet motors; turbojet, turbofan, variable cycle jet engine, ramjet, pulse jet, combined cycle, turboprop), what are the aircraft structure materials, aircraft structures, fusulage, wings, empennage, landing gears, types of aircrafts (acording to the wings, engines, used areas) will be explained. Students will also learn avionic instruments and navigation. Finally rotorcrafts and helicopters will be explained.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:

5) May have a knowledge about the propeller types of a plane.

6) May have a knowledge about the aircraft structure materials.

7) May have a knowledge about aircraft structure and the methods of pruduction.

8) May have a knowledge about the important avionic instruments of a plane.

9) May be able to have a general knowledge about helicopters/rotorcraft.

Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)

1) May be able to implement the aviation application of the rules set by international civil aviation organizations and other airlines.

Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)

1) May be able to to have a knowledge about the subfields and general operation of aviation.
