SYLLABUS FOR MODULE 11A

Those going for B1.1 (Airplane Turbine) License have to take Module 11A.

Module 11A is about the aeroplane aerodynamics, structure and systems. Under the previous BCAR Section L, the licenses were segmented into smaller responsibility area:

- Airframe
- Engine
- Electrical, plus other licenses.

However under EASA, The Airframe, Engine and Electrical are combined into one single license, B1.1.

However this blog is only focused on the avionics / electrical components. On some system like Electrical Power, there appears to duplication with module 3. I would consider, module 11A is the application of the basic knowledge taught in module 3. In module 3, we learn about the construction and operation of batteries, and in module 11A, we learn about the batteries as fitted to an aircraft.

The syllabus is given below...

11.6 Electrical Power (ATA 24) Level 3 -
Batteries Installation and Operation;
DC power generation;
AC power generation;
Emergency power generation;
Voltage regulation;
Power distribution;
Inverters, transformers, rectifiers;
Circuit protection;
External/Ground power;

11.8 Fire Protection (ATA 26) Level 3 -
(a) Fire and smoke detection and warning systems;
Fire extinguishing systems;
System tests.
(b) Portable fire extinguisher Level 1

11.14 Lights (ATA 33) Level 3 -
External: navigation, anti-collision, landing, taxiing, ice;
Internal: cabin, cockpit, cargo;
Emergency.

11.18 On Board Maintenance Systems (ATA 45) Level 2 -
Central maintenance computers;
Data loading system;
Electronic library system;
Printing;
Structure monitoring (damage tolerance monitoring).

11.19 Integrated Modular Avionics (ATA42) Level 2
Functions that may be typically integrated in the Integrated Modular
Avionic (IMA) modules are, among others:
. Bleed Management, Air Pressure Control, Air Ventilation and Control,
Avionics and Cockpit Ventilation Control, Temperature Control, Air
Traffic Communication, Avionics Communication Router, Electrical Load
Management, Circuit Breaker Monitoring, Electrical System BITE, Fuel
Management, Braking Control, Steering Control, Landing Gear
Extension and Retraction, Tyre Pressure Indication, Oleo Pressure
Indication, Brake Temperature Monitoring, etc
Core System;
Network Components

11.20 Cabin System (ATA44) Level 2 -
The units and components which furnish a means of entering the
passengers and providing communication within the aircraft (Cabin
Intercommunication Data System) and between the aircraft cabin and
ground stations (Cabin Network Service). Includes voice, data, music and
video transmissions.
The Cabin Intercommunication Data System provides an interface
between cockpit/cabin crew and cabin systems. These systems support
data exchange of the different related LRU’s and they are typically
operated via Flight Attendant Panels
The Cabin Network Service typically consists on a server, typically
interfacing with, among others, the following systems:
- Data/Radio Communication, In-Flight Entertainment Systems
The Cabin Network Service may host functions such as:
- Access to pre-departure/departure report
- E-mail/intranet/internet access,
- Passenger database,
Cabin Core System
In-Flight Entertainment System
External Communication System
Cabin Mass Memory System
Cabin Monitoring System
Miscellaneous Cabin System
