Credits: 4 (4 + 0)

Prerequisite(s): AES 1100, PHY 1250; or permission of instructor

Description: This course is primarily for professional pilot and aviation maintenance management students who must understand the complex systems of the aircraft that they fly and/or maintain. The principles and operation of aircraft electrical, communication, navigation, surveillance and control systems are covered. The course provides a working understanding of light aircraft electrical systems and avionics including conventional (or legacy) and Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) systems. The student will also learn avionics failure prevention procedures as pilot-in-command and understand the limitations of electronic navigation aids due to equipment and propagation anomalies. Emphasis is on safety and precautions.
