General Aircraft Knowledge II & Principles of Flight II

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
General Aircraft Knowledge II & Principles of Flight II
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Aviation Business and Piloting (Extra-occupational), Bachelor, ASPO 01.04.2012
Module code: ABBW67.
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for άbung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
2V (2 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
10
Semester: 2
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Online exam (minimum of 75% to pass)

[updated 19.12.2023]
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 300 hours (equivalent to 10 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 277.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
General Aircraft Knowledge part
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the basic structure of the airframe and engine. They will be able to interpret the instruments correctly and fly the aircraft within its performance limits.
 
Students will study the general construction of an aircraft as well as all the parts and their functions. They’ll learn the operation of air-driven systems on piston engine aircrafts.
They will learn the differences and functions of anti-icing and de-icing systems.
Students will also learn the operation and control of turbine engines.
Also covered are the different flight instruments (IFR) and instruction on automatic flight control systems.
 
Principles of Flight II
Students will learn the basic principles of flight. They will come to understand aerodynamic behavior and low airspeeds, as well as basic flight mechanics, such as drift in turns.
