Course detail: Introduction to Electromagnetic Effects (EME) and Aircraft Engineering Requirements
This course will provide participants with an understanding of electromagnetic effects related to aircraft engineering requirements, FAA certification requirements, testing requirements for both DO-160 bench testing and aircraft level testing related to EMC/P-Static/ESD/TPED's/HIRF/EWIS and lightning.
NOTE: For a more in-depth focus on aircraft level testing and FAA requirements it is recommended to take Electromagnetic Effects Aircraft Level Testing and FAA Requirements, in-person or online after taking this course as this course.
Students will work in teams to gain hands-on experience building a new STC Electrical/Avionics System Installation to meet Direct Effects of Lightning certification requirements and the internal EME certification requirements. They will also prepare Electromagnetic Effects CFR compliance statements incorporating the information they learn as they progress through the course.
Highlights
