AIM:
To study about the instruments used in aircraft
OBJECTIVE:
To describe the principle and working of aircraft systems and instruments,
AIRPLANE CONTROL SYSTEMS AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS ENGINE SYSTEMS AUXILIARY SYSTEM AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTS
Conventional systems
Fully powered flight controls Power actuated systems Modern control systems
Hydraulic system Study of typical workable system Components Pneumatic systems, Working principles
Hydraulic system:
Force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using
an incompressible fluid
lands and closes after take off The system also supports the aircraft while on the ground, taxiing or landing
Fig: Landing gear used before take off and after landing
Fuel systems for Piston and jet engines Components of multi engines Lubricating systems for piston and jet engines
aircraft performance than any other airframe system. Without fuel the mission comes to an abrupt stop
Types of fuel:
Civilian Military Jet A, Jet A-1, Jet B JP-4, JP-5, JP-8
Basic Air cycle systems Vapour Cycle systems Evaporative vapour cycle systems Evaporative air cycle systems Deicing and anti icing systems Fire protection systems
Flight Instruments and Navigation Instruments Gyroscope, accelerometers Air speed Indicators TAS, EAS Mach Meters, Altimeters, Principles and operation Study of Various types of engine instruments Tachometers, Temperature gauges
the pilot with information about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude speed and direction.
determine the speed, direction etc. to arrive at the port or point of destination.
