About Aircraft Electrical Systems

GoConqr Original

What the page covers

The resources follow the core of aircraft electrical work. The flashcard deck 2. Aircraft Wiring, Circuit Protection and Control asks about the dipole and unipole systems and the advantages of earth return. Mod 6 - Book 2 starts from the basics: the three elements of a circuit, what matters in a conductor and how to choose wire. Lesson 4 looks at alternator and generator power, distribution, circuit breakers, ammeters and earth.

Where to start

Begin with Aircrafts Basic Electricity or Mod 6 - Book 2 to settle the basics. Then move to 3. Batteries, Electrical Power and Magnetism. Once those feel familiar, open the wiring deck and the generator material.

Using quizzes and maps together

The quizzes test the detail. ELECTRIC asks about vibrator-type voltage regulators, CSD driven generators and wire protection. CDC 2A652N - Volume 3 - Prime Movers and Generation covers motors, torque and brush contact. Refuerzo includes anticollision light installation and restoring generator field residual magnetism.

The mind maps help you see how the parts fit. Several focus on wiring practice:

  • Bonding covers what it protects against, including static and lightning strikes, and why it keeps the aircraft and its occupants safe.
  • Repair of Wire and Cable sets out when a splice is allowed, that replacement is preferred and that a wire may have at most 3 splices.
  • Others cover bond testing, wire protection techniques, wire bundle ties, clamp inspection, insulation resistance testing and the Time Domain Reflectometer.

A good routine is to read a map, take a quiz on the same topic, then note which answers you missed and revisit the matching flashcards.

Where it fits

This unit sits within the Aircraft Systems, Powerplant and Avionics strand of Aviation. Some resources mention the FAA, and a few are in Spanish, such as Sistemas Eléctricos 1 and the map GENERADOR #1.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard decks Aircrafts Basic Electricity or Mod 6 - Book 2. They cover circuit elements, conductors and wire selection. After that, move on to batteries, electrical power and magnetism before trying the generator and motor quizzes.

What do the mind maps cover?

Most of them deal with wiring practice. Topics include bonding, wire and cable repair, bond testing, wire protection techniques, wire bundle ties, clamp inspection, insulation resistance testing, ageing and degradation, solder sleeves and the Time Domain Reflectometer. There are also maps on power distribution and a generator.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who are these resources for?

They suit university students and professional candidates studying aircraft electrical systems, plus teachers looking for ready-made material. Most resources are at professional level. Some listed resources mention the FAA, so they may be useful if that is your reference.

Which quizzes test motors and generators?

CDC 2A652N - Volume 3 - Prime Movers and Generation asks about motors, torque and brush contact. ELECTRIC covers voltage regulators and CSD driven generators. Sistemas Eléctricos 1 looks at series-wound DC motors, and Refuerzo includes generator field residual magnetism.

Are all the resources in English?

Not all of them. Most are in English, but a few use Spanish, including the quiz Sistemas Eléctricos 1 and the mind map GENERADOR #1. Check the title and first questions before you start, and pick the language that suits your revision.
