LESSON 1: OPERATING SYSTEMS What is an Operating System? An Operating System (OS) is the software layer that connects computer hardware and applications. It controls hardware resources and provides a platform for applications. Key Functions An OS manages CPU scheduling, RAM allocation, file storage, security permissions, and input/output devices. Types of Operating Systems Batch OS: Executes similar jobs in grouped batches without real-time user interaction. Common uses include payroll and bank statements. Time-Sharing OS: Divides CPU time among multiple users to support interactive multitasking. Real-Time OS (RTOS): Provides strict, deterministic processing within required time limits. Used in airbags, heart monitors, and industrial robotics. Network OS (NOS): Uses central servers to manage network security, shared data, traffic, and peripherals. It provides access control, encrypted transmission, and centralized authorization. Networked & Distributed OS Distributed OS: Connects autonomous computers so they function as one system. Example: cloud clusters. Network OS: Runs on central servers to manage user security, shared data, network traffic, and peripherals across a local network. Key Security: Enforces access control, encrypted data transmission, and centralized user authorization across networks. Mobile vs. Desktop Platforms Mobile OS: Designed for touchscreens, wireless networks, and battery efficiency. Examples: Android and iOS. Desktop OS: Provides graphical interfaces and full multitasking. Examples: Windows, macOS, and Linux. Global OS Market Distribution Android – 41% Windows – 28% iOS – 17% macOS – 7% Linux/Other – 7% OS Evolution 1950s: Batch systems used punch cards and automated job processing. 1970s: Time-sharing and Unix introduced multi-user scheduling and interactive terminals. 1990s: GUIs and personal computing became widespread. 2000s onward: Mobile and cloud computing expanded, including Android and iOS. LESSON 2: COMPUTER SYSTEMS Computer System – A computer system is the combination of hardware, software, data, and liveware working together to process information. Four Core Components: Hardware: Physical components such as the CPU, RAM, motherboard, storage, and I/O devices. Software: Instructions that control hardware; includes system and application software. Data: Raw facts, numbers, and symbols processed into meaningful information. Liveware: People who operate, develop, maintain, and use computer systems. Hardware and Software Hardware: The physical components of a computer that perform tasks and run software. System Software: Operating systems (Windows, Linux) that manage hardware resources, system operations, and security. Application Software: Programs such as browsers and editors that help users perform specific tasks. Interdependence: Hardware needs software instructions to function, while software needs hardware to execute its instructions. Data and Liveware Data begins as raw facts and becomes meaningful information through processing. Liveware includes administrators, programmers, and end-users who manage systems, create programs, and use results. The Operational Lifecycle Continuous Data Transformation A computer system continuously captures, processes, stores, and outputs data. This four-step cycle is the foundation of all computing systems, from simple microcontrollers to large data centers. THE 4-STAGE WORKFLOW: Information Processing Cycle Input: Captures data and commands through keyboards, mice, sensors, and touchscreens. Processing: The CPU fetches, decodes, and executes instructions. Storage: Keeps active data in RAM and permanent files on SSDs or hard drives. Output: Presents processed results through monitors, printers, speakers, and other output devices. LESSON 3: ESSENTIAL COMPUTER SHORTCUTS Basic Shortcuts Ctrl + A: Select All. Ctrl + C: Copy.

✈️ AVTN 110 — AVIATION BASICS STUDY GUIDE 1. FAA — Federal Aviation Administration What does the FAA do? * Promotes aviation safety. * Creates safety standards for civil aviation. * Regulates pilots, aircraft, flight operations, and training. Important terms * FARs = Federal Aviation Regulations * Rules for aviation. * CFR = Code of Federal Regulations * Collection of U.S. government rules. * Title 14 = Aeronautics and Space * Covers civil aviation. Remember: FAA = Safety + Rules ⸻ 2. 14 CFR Title 14 — Aeronautics and Space Important parts: * Part 61 → Pilot certification * Part 91 → General flight rules * Part 135 → Commercial/corporate operations * Part 141 → Flight schools with FAA-approved programs Easy memory: 61 = Pilot 91 = Rules 135 = Corporate/Charter 141 = Flight School ⸻ 3. NOTAMs NOTAM = Notice to Airmen NOTAMs give pilots important, time-sensitive information. Examples: * Runway closed * Taxiway closed * Obstructions * Airshows * Special events Remember: NOTAM = Something important has changed. ⸻ 4. Pilot Certifications Private Pilot * Personal or recreational flying. * Cannot normally accept payment for flying. * Can command an aircraft under VFR. VFR = Visual Flight Rules Commercial Pilot * Allows you to earn money for flying. * Without an instrument rating, there are restrictions on flying for hire. ATP — Airline Transport Pilot * Highest level of pilot certificate. * Needed to serve as PIC/SIC in airline operations. * Generally requires 1,500 hours. * Minimum age is 23. PIC Pilot in Command SIC Second in Command Restricted ATP * Can allow someone to serve as SIC at scheduled airlines. * Based on certain education and flight-experience requirements. * Minimum age is 21. ⸻ 5. Extra Pilot Ratings Instrument Rating Allows you to fly in a wider range of weather conditions using instruments. IFR = Instrument Flight Rules Commercial Rating Allows you to receive compensation for flying. MEI Multi-Engine Instructor Important for many flying jobs. CFI Certified Flight Instructor Teaches people how to fly. CFII Certified Flight Instructor — Instrument Teaches instrument flying. Seaplane Rating Allows you to fly seaplanes. ⸻ 6. Flight Instructor What does a flight instructor do? The instructor is responsible for training the student in the knowledge and skills needed to become a safe pilot. A CFI must: * Have enough flying experience. * Pass knowledge tests. * Pass practical tests. * Demonstrate teaching ability. Remember: CFI = Teaches you to fly ⸻ 7. What Is a Flying Lesson Like? 1. Weather Check Check weather to see if conditions are safe. 2. Instructor Briefing Talk with your instructor about what you will practice. 3. Preflight Inspection Use a checklist to inspect the airplane. 4. Flight Practice old skills and learn new maneuvers. 5. After Flight * Instructor evaluates the lesson. * Logbook is filled out. * Instructor endorses the logbook when needed. Easy memory: Weather → Brief → Inspect → Fly → Log ⸻ 8. Part 61 vs Part 141 Part 61 * More flexible. * Often smaller/“mom & pop” flight schools. * Certified instructors. * Curriculum is not regulated by FAA in the same way as Part 141. * Training is focused on meeting the required test standards. * More personalized to each student. Part 141 * Highly regulated by FAA. * Has an approved curriculum. * Flight AND ground training are regulated. * More paperwork. * Certified CFIs. * Has a regulated maintenance program. * Academic units can reduce the required flight hours for certain certificates. * Can be eligible for GI Bill benefits. Easy memory: Part 61 = Flexible Part 141 = Structured + FAA regulated ⸻ 9. Four Forces of Flight There are 4 forces: ✈️ Thrust Forward force Produced by the: * Propeller * Powerplant/engine 🛑 Drag Backward force Caused by resistance/disruption of airflow around: * Wings * Fuselage * Other aircraft parts ⬇️ Weight Downward force The combined load of the aircraft, including: * Crew * Fuel * Cargo/baggage ⬆️ Lift Upward force Produced by air acting on the wing. SUPER EASY: Thrust → Forward Drag → Backward Lift → Up Weight → Down ⸻ 10. Aviation Career Opportunities Possible aviation careers/areas: * ✈️ Airlines * 🛫 Airports * 🛩️ Flight Departments * 🏢 Part 91 / Part 135 corporate flying * 🚁 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) * 🚀 Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) * ⛽ Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) * 🎖️ Military * 👮 Law Enforcement ⸻ 11. NATO Phonetic Alphabet You need to know these:
