Aviation Electronics Technician
Aeropro's Aviation Electronics Technician program is tailored for both part-time and full-time students, ensuring flexibility to fit your schedule. With our two-part training curriculum, you can kick start your career as an avionics apprentice helper after completing the introductory course, or you can continue directly to advanced training and prepare for the FCC exam.
Aviation Electronics Technician 1
Introduces basic flight instrument systems and navigation/communication electronic aids installed on General Aviation aircraft that weigh less than 12,500 lbs. The course includes both lecture and practical applications of these systems to include operation, inspection, fault analysis and repair. The student will be exposed to mechanical and electronic airframe and powerplant indication equipment including flight instrument systems for heading, speed, altitude, temperature, pressure, RPM, and position indicating. Emphasis will be placed on NAV/COMM systems found in modern light aircraft and associated antenna applications and installation methods. Pitot/Static instruments and systems are also discussed. Students practice inspection, service, fault analysis, installation, and repair of these systems. Upon successfully completing this course, students may continue to Advanced Aviation Electronics Technology and/or qualify for apprentice-level avionics technician positions.
Join our program for an immersive experience! We offer 300 contact hours in an 18-week part-time format or a 12-week full-time option. Choose the schedule that fits your lifestyle needs.
What you will learn
Aviation Electronics 1
Introduction to flight instrument systems and navigation/communication electronic aids installed on General Aviation aircraft that weigh less than 12,500 lbs.
Aircraft Electricity
Concepts of DC/AC circuits, with laws relating to the following: measuring voltage, current, resistance, continuity, and leakage; relationship of voltage, current and resistance in electrical circuits; reading and interpretation of electrical circuit diagrams; electrical devices and inspection and servicing of batteries.
Avionics Repair
An in-depth overview of aircraft wiring. Procedures in terminating, repairing, testing, and troubleshooting of aircraft wiring, as well as aging wiring inspections. Students build wiring harnesses and panels throughout the following classes and test them.
Electronics
A survey course designed to provide an overview of basic direct and alternating current circuits and an introduction to linear and digital electronics. Laboratory exercises reinforce circuit theory and provide skills in the use of common electronic instruments.
Avionics Troubleshooting
An in-depth troubleshooting project, requiring critical thinking to analyze the problem and provide the correct repairs.
Avionics Maintenance
Provides advanced knowledge to repair and install pitot-static systems. Practical experience in troubleshooting and using maintenance test equipment.
Avionics Installation
Provides practical knowledge of avionics suite installation, to include Garmin. Students will gain additional experience in operational checks, troubleshooting and software loading on the Garmin G1000/900X and will assist in the building of avionics panels. Students learn the work order system, customer relationship management, and are exposed to estimating and quoting.
Aviation Electronics Technician 2
Advanced training in flight instrument systems and navigation/communication electronic aids installed on General Aviation aircraft that weigh less than 12,500 lbs. The course includes both lecture and practical applications of these systems to include operation, inspection, fault analysis and repair.
