Avionics Technician Handbook- Volume One: The Aircraft Technician's Handbook for Avionic System Familiarization and Troubleshooting

UPDATED The Avionics Technician Handbook- Volume One was written by technicians for technicians to be the Handbook for the line maintenance technician to have in the field. This updated version contains Attitude and Heading systems and AHRS information. Along with new editing, this book provides the same information about those avionics systems that provide the interface between the pilot and the aircraft systems and the concepts on the use of essential avionics test equipment. These two volumes are designed to prepare technicians for the NCATT Add-On ratings for Radio Communications Systems, Onboard Safety Systems, Dependent Navigation System and Autonomous Navigation Systems. These books are also created to teach real system testing and troubleshooting of avionics systems. These systems include: Principles of test equipment calibration, General Aviation Cockpit Orientations, Operations of and troubleshooting with a basic multimeter, testing with an Oscilloscope, Using a Megohmeter or Insulation Tester, Testing with a TDR, Performing an aircraft Compass system swing, test and calibrate an aircraft fuel quantity system, performing an analysis of an aircraft's Pitot/Static System, Operation and testing of aircraft engine indication systems. This book is a must have for those pilots wishing to understand the operation of the avionic systems in most GA and Air Carrier aircraft. Pilots today need to have a better understanding of the systems to work with the technicians when troubleshooting problems.
