AERM 1414 - Basic Electricity



A study of aircraft electrical systems and their requirements including the use of ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter; series and parallel circuits; inductance and capacitance; magnetism; converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC); controlling devices; maintenance and servicing of aircraft batteries; and reading and interpreting aircraft electrical diagrams to include solid state devices and logic functions. Fundamentals of safety also addressed.

Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion, students will be able to:

  • Calculate and measure capacitance, inductance, electrical power, voltage, current, resistance, and continuity; determine the relationship of voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits.
  • Interpret aircraft electrical circuit diagrams including solid states devices and logic functions.
  • Inspect and service batteries.
  • Perform safety procedures.
