AVM 482: Avionics Line Maintenance II
4.00 Credits
Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology
- 4 credits This systems course begins with a continuation of the introduction to digital electronics and information transfer systems such as Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) 429, 561 and 629. Other systems covered include electromechanical flight instruments and synchros, Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), Engine Instrument Crew Alert System (EICAS), inertial reference systems, as well as flight management and navigation systems. Very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR), instrument landing system (ILS) and surveillance systems such as air traffic control transponders, traffic alert and collision avoidance systems (TCAS) and weather radar will also be covered. Introduction to global positioning system (GPS) satellite navigation is also included. Laboratory work is a significant part of the course. Prerequisite: AVM481; fall and summer offering only
