Course Overview

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the architecture, design, and integration of modern avionics systems. It covers the fundamental electronic systems that are critical for aircraft flight, navigation, communication, and mission management. More than just individual components, the course emphasizes the systems engineering approach required to integrate complex hardware and software into a reliable, safe, and certifiable airborne platform. Key topics include data buses, sensors, displays, and the stringent regulatory standards that govern avionic system development. Participants will gain the needed skills for designing, constructing, testing, and maintaining avionics systems.

Course Outcomes

Delegates will gain the knowledge and skills to:

Identify the core subsystems of a modern integrated avionics suite and their functions.

Describe the architecture and protocol of critical aviation data buses (e.g., ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, AFDX).

Analyze the role of sensors, navigation systems, and flight control computers within the overall avionics loop.

Understand the certification requirements (e.g., DO-178C for software, DO-254 for hardware) and safety assessment processes.

Evaluate design trade-offs involving performance, redundancy, security, and weight in avionics architecture.

Develop a basic system requirements specification for an avionics subsystem, tracing it to a high-level aircraft function.

Key Course Highlights

At the end of this course, you’ll understand:

  • Aircraft control systems including conventional and digital fly-by-wire.
  • Core aircraft systems like hydraulic, pneumatic, braking, and electrical power.
  • Avionics system architectures including federated, distributed, centralized, and integrated modular avionics (IMA).
  • Aircraft data networks and communication protocols such as ARINC and MIL-STD.
  • Testing and integration techniques including EMI/EMC, functional testing, and flight test instrumentation.
  • Fault-tolerant design methods for avionics hardware and software.
  • System integration challenges and approaches to ensure reliable avionics operations.
Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for avionics engineers, systems engineers, aerospace engineers, and technical specialists involved in aircraft electronics and control systems. It also suits project managers, technical leads, and integration engineers responsible for avionics system design, testing, and certification, as well as professionals in R&D, flight testing, and maintenance who want to deepen their expertise in avionics architectures, system integration, and performance optimization.
