AF10-209: Hydraulics and Pneumatics; Landing Gear Systems

This course acquaints students with basic hydraulic and pneumatic principles, operation, and servicing of equipment. It includes information covering fluids, washers, seals, pressures, and component repair. Basic theory is reinforced through hands-on activities such as the inspection of a hydraulic pump for efficiency after a detailed disassembly and reassembly by the student. The study of landing gear systems increases the students’ knowledge of how hydraulic and pneumatic systems are incorporated into landing gear systems, including operation, tires, and anti-skid brakes. This course includes a discussion of inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of systems. Hands-on activities include oleo strut identification and disassembly, brake system inspection to include pad wear, and rotor measurement.
