AV 2100 - AIRCRAFT RECIPROCATING POWERPLANTS & ACCESSORIES
3 Credits
Instructor: Randy Chesley
Room T 103
- Catalog Description
Theory of operation, maintenance, and repair of reciprocating engines, exhaust systems, ignition systems, and fuel systems with laboratory applications of principles and components studied.
II. Course Objective
The objective of the course is for each student to gain a theoretical understanding of aircraft reciprocating powerplants including induction, exhaust and lubrication systems as related to normally aspirated turbo supercharged and fuel injected engines. Upon completion, each student will be able to achieve the level of proficiency indicated by the number in parenthesis.
The following material will be covered in AV 2100:
- Reciprocating Engines Chapter 1
- Reciprocating Engine Operation, Maintenance, Inspection, and Overhaul Chapter 2
- Induction Systems Chapter 5, Section A
- Lubrication Systems Chapter 9, Sections A&B
- Cooling Systems Chapter 10, Section A
- Ignition Systems Chapter 8, Section E
- Fuel and Fuel Metering Chapter 7, Section A&B

VII. Accommodation for Persons with Disabilities
If a student has a disability that will likely require some accommodation by the instructor, the student must contact the instructor and document the disability through the Disability Resource Center, preferably during the first week of the course. Any request for special considerations relating to attendance, pedagogy, taking of examinations, etc., must be discussed with and approved by the instructor. In cooperation with the Disability Resource Center, course materials can be provided in alternative formats--large print, audio, diskette, or Braille.
VIII. Lecture Schedule
- Class lecture time will start at the time outlined in the USU directory of classes. Note: There will be a lecture the first day.
- In the event the instructor is unable to attend the class lecture, the following procedure should be followed.
a. The class representative will have an attendance sheet for those who attend class to sign. b. During class time, each student should review that section of the powerplant textbook that would have been presented.
IX. Handouts
Any material handed out in class should be kept and used for additional information and studying for tests.
X. Formal Written Reports
- May be typed or done on a computer using standard 8 ½ x 11 white paper.
- Illustrations may be drawn or copied and inserted in the proper order.
- All reports are to have a cover page with title of report, your name, course number, department, and date due as shown in the example:

XI. Oral Presentation
Assigned subject will be given with enough time for preparation and should be limited to a maximum of ten minutes. These presentations may be given in class, lab, or personally.
XII. Workbook, Study Guide, and Question Book
Homework consists of the following:
- Assigned reading in the powerplant section textbook, complete instructor questions, and turn in when required.
- Fill in questions in powerplant section workbook; add page number where answers are found in the powerplant textbook.
- Review aviation mechanic powerplant question book and powerplant section study guide. Be able to answer questions when required. This may be in the form of written test, oral presentation, or questioning in lecture or lab.
