Course detail: Aircraft Avionics Test and Evaluation Fundamentals
Description
This course provides an overview of avionics systems flight test, test planning and risk management, as well as fundamentals of flight test instrumentation and data collection. Students will understand challenges of integrated system testing, as well as the importance and sources of time, space and position information (TSPI) and its use for data acquisition, reduction and analysis. They will review methods of software flight test and basic issues of electromagnetic interference. Students will also become familiar with aerospace data bus architectures, communications and navigation systems, Global Navigation Satellite (GNSS), RADAR, as well as electro-optical and infrared systems and required flight test techniques. Students will also understand the challenges of human-machine interfaces requiring crew station and workload evaluations as part of the aircraft and systems certification process.
Who Should Attend?
Flight test engineers and managers, instrumentation engineers and project/program managers new to aircraft avionics flight test. The course also offers an opportunity for those who have been out of flight test to refresh their knowledge. It is also applicable to aerospace industry electronics and avionics suppliers and manufacturers of unmanned air systems interested in how their products will be flight tested to meet specifications and user requirements. It is applicable to military and civilian organizations and has no prerequisites. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of college mathematics.
