LABORATORY ACTIVITY NO. 1

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using AutoCad, create a schematic diagram of the aircraft pneumatics and air conditioning
system. You can use various drawing references of different aircrafts on the internet. Indicate
the type of aircraft used and insert a short statement below the label of each component briefly
discussing its purpose and operation.

2. Plot it on A3 paper using the same format/layout you are using in your CADD 1 subject.

3. Attach your signature over your printed name on the honesty clause box shown below. Place
it on the lower right of your layout.

4. Submit your output in pdf file.

5. If you have further questions, ask it only to your Instructor.

LABORATORY TECHNICAL REPORT

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This Laboratory Technical Report will be done by pair or by two (2) individuals. Your partner
with the Case Study in the Learning Module will also be your partner here. If there are some
instance that a certain student wants to comply these (both the Case Study and Laboratory
Technical Report) individually then he/she will be allowed to do that.

2. Create a video presentation of at least 5 minutes in length discussing the topics about the
Case Study No. 2 of Learning Module No. 6 about the study and analysis regarding the risk
of having infected COVID-19 when you are flying in an aircraft and inside the cabin. Also
provide an explanation regarding the operation and process of air conditioning system of an
aircraft and how it works.

3. You need to show yourselves on the video during the discussion of the subject matter. You
can use any animations, illustrations or any digital designs/medium to supplement your video
presentation.

4. Avoid using foul, obscene, offensive and defamatory remarks. Any videos which are deemed
inappropriate will be automatically obtain a grade of zero.

5. Submission links will be provided by your Instructor.
