Course Details
Environmental Control Systems
The goal of this course is to describe how an aircraft environmental system operates. Learners will explore cabin pressurization, heating, cooling, and oxygen systems. This course will cover basic system components and prepare the student for their FAA oral and practical exam. Within this course, we will explore cabin environmental systems as well as the control of cabin climate and oxygen. Environmental Control Systems will describe how pressurization systems work, where they get their pressurization air from, and how the cabin pressure is regulated. We will also cover cabin heat and cooling, vapor,and air cycle machines, inspection troubleshooting, and federal regulations regarding freon handling. This course will also cover the different types of oxygen systems and their regulators, masks, and servicing.
