This course explains how a turbine engine can direct airflow internally and externally. During this class students will learn about bleed air and ways it can operate other systems on the aircraft including APU engines. This course also discusses internal airflow used for engine cooling and oil seals. Lab will consist of turbine ice and rain protection, thrust reversers, and a hot section inspection.
Prerequisites
Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to demonstrate the following knowledge or skills:
1. Explain the theory and operation of the turbine engine airflow
2. Identify uses for bleed air
3. Inspect all components in accordance with manufacture data
4. Complete a hot section inspection to identify heating damage and loss of engine efficiency
