Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
If presence at lectures is less then 80%, students have to prove elaborated tasks and completed parts from missed lessons. Missed lessons can be compensated in a very limited extend by consultations with the lecturer.
Aims
Students will acquire knowledge and basic experience in airplane electric systems engines, protection and detection systems, aircraft system. Furthermore, in the field of construction of helicopters, rotor heads, and control systems. This knowledge is necessary to successfully pass theoretical examinations for subsequent pilot training.
