Summary

The graduate of the course will be able to identify and describe basic transport aircraft systems, explain their functions, design principles, and interrelationships. The graduate will be able to characterize the operating principles of aircraft systems, their operational limitations, monitoring, and backup functions. The graduate will be able to apply acquired knowledge to analyse aircraft system operation, evaluate basic operational and failure conditions, and use relevant aircraft technical documentation. The graduate will be able to interpret requirements specified in operational manuals and technical documents used in aviation operations. The graduate will be able to independently assess the technical condition of selected aircraft components, formulate professional technical opinions, communicate technical information, and take responsibility for decision-making when addressing operational situations in the field of aviation technology.
