Aeropro's Aviation Electronics Technician Course is designed to accommodate part-time and full-time students. Our two-part training program allows the student to begin work as avionics apprentice helpers upon graduating the introductory course or continue on immediately to advanced training and the FCC exam.
Aviation Electronics Technician
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.
What you learn
Evening/Weekend part-time or full time course
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.
300 Contact hours in a 18 week part-time format or 12 week full time format
