alignment according to the aircraft
| 2. | | Engine parameters, overview, and units. Revolution measurement of |
turbojet and propeller engines.
| 3. | | Cylinder head and exhaust gas temperature measurement. Anti-ice systems. |
Fire annunciators.
| 4. | | Torque, fuel used and fuel flow and engine vibration measurement. |
| 5. | | Complex system for engine parameters measurement. |
| 6. | | Fuel system, measurement of total and critical amount of fuel. |
| 7. | | Barometrical and inertial measurement of altitude. Altimeters and their |
types. Standard atmosphere.
| 8. | | Aerometrical flight measurement, theory, Speedometer construction |
| 9. | | Vertical speed measurement, mach-number measurement, machmeters and |
variometer construction.
| 10. | | Aerometric data computer, process of data calculation, aerometrical |
sensors.
| 11. | | Mechanical gyroscopes. Gyro-horizon, correction system. Rate-of-turn |
indicator.
