4.00 Credits
- 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
-
4.00 Credits
- 4 credits This course covers additional selected avionics systems beginning with the fundamentals of radio frequency issues for the line avionics technician including typical superheterodyne receiver and transmitter operation at the block diagram level, antennae, transmission lines and wave guides. Systems include very high frequency (VHF) and high frequency (HF) communications, aircraft communication and reporting system (ACARS), interphone systems, cockpit voice recording and flight data recording. Also covered are heavy transport flight control and hydraulics systems, in which the student is introduced to flight operations and navigation methods involving autoflight control systems. Laboratory projects using line aircraft, avionics communications, radio and cockpit mock-ups reinforce lecture material. Prerequisite: AVM481; corequisite: AVM482; spring and summer offering only
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course covers the fundamentals of electronic communications systems. Included is a discussion of AM, FM, single side band and digital communications, oscillators, tuning circuits, detectors, radio frequency amplifiers, transmission lines and antennas. Coverage of very high frequency (VHF) and other communication transreceivers is included. Satellite communications are also discussed. Mathematical derivation is included. Class work is complemented by laboratory experiments.
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course covers the principles of very high frequency navigation receivers, including very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) localizer, glideslope and marker beacon receivers. Other topics include long-range navigation systems, including inertial navigation systems (GPS). Classwork is supplemented by lab computer-aided testing, calibration and troubleshooting. Prerequisite: AVT230; spring offering only
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course is a study of air traffic control transponders and distance measuring equipment, including encoding, decoding pulse transmission, signal reception and processing. Classwork is supplemented by lab computer-aided testing, alignment and troubleshooting. Prerequisite: AVT230; Corequisite: AVT245; spring offering only
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course covers the principles of pulse and microwave circuits as typically applied to search and weather radar. Mathematics, including calculus, will be used. Weather radar and radar altimeter system topics include timing, transmitter, modulator, receiver, signal processing and display circuits. Classwork is complemented by laboratory exercises. Prerequisites: AVT230, MAT120; corequisite: AVT240; spring offering only
