The Pneumatic Systems course is the second of the courses that make up The Airline Transition Program. In this course, the learner will be taught Bleed Air Components, Air Conditioning Packs, Pressurization Systems, Icing Meteorology, Ground Deicing, and In-FlightAnti-Icing Operations. The content within this course has not been developed to be “aircraft type-specific” (although some aircraft specifics will be discussed) but is more generalized to easily explain and present the complex operational theory in turbine engine systems. The in-depth knowledge that will be taught in this course will prepare the learner for Aircraft Systems Training at his or her first airline or corporate flight operation.This course contains 1 hr 29 minutes of video lecture, and 30 pages of textual content.
This course requires no external materials. All supplemental text material will be provided below and from within the course once the learner has enrolled. To successfully pass this course, the learner must complete a series of interactive quizzes with a corrected minimum score of 80%. Quizzes will contain questions derived from the material that has been taught from within this course. The quizzes will include true/false, multiple-choice, and completion questions.
Review what was taught in the Turbine Engine course, as well as getting into more details about bleed air.
Learn about the basic operating principles of pressurization systems, some regulations and design considerations, and cabin pressure controllers and their various modes of operation.
Learn how an air conditioning pack (or package) operates, and what essential functions it serves.
Learn about how and why ice forms, the different types of ice, and their operational implications.
Learn about the various types of inflight icing protection systems, and how ice detection systems work.
Learn about when an aircraft needs to be deiced, what fluids are used, and how to calculate how long the fluid remains good for (holdover charts).
