AvionicsEducation

This video will introduce avionics technicians to the basics of aircraft autopilots. In this video, I talk about the basic types of systems and perform ground checks for two typical systems. I also cover some simple troubleshooting techniques.

This weejks video was about a question I had from a viewer. I was writing to find out some more on the FAA AET certification. Am I correct in the fact it is entry level and no prior aviation experience is required? I know a little about basic electricity as I've worked in building maintenance and currently work for a supply house, but I'd like to switch careers back to something more hands-on. Any information is appreciated. Thanks! Thank you for your question. First I need to point out that the FAA does not endorse or otherwise accept the NCATT certifications as qualifications to perform maintenance. The FAA only recognizes the NCATT AET and one add-on rating for eligibility to obtain a Repairman certificate when working for an airline or repair station. Otherwise, it provides good proof of formal training when interviewing for and job as an Avionics technician. I have some videos on YouTube that explain the NCATT and the FCC. There are three basic subject areas an avionics technician needs to know. • Basic electrical concepts. – Basically, the NCATT AET subject or the FAA A&P General test subjects • Knowledge of electrical wires and interconnects – These subjects cover electrical connectors, the types of aircraft wire, and how to read and interpret electrical schematics. • Avionic Systems - This means you need to have a good working knowledge of the purpose of and operation of aircraft avionics Systems. For example, I am creating an online course called the basics of radio communication that you will need to know before going onto the radio-based aircraft systems. Aircraft radio-based systems include; the distance measuring system, aircraft transponder system, and VFH communications. While teaching a year-long avionics technician program, I created over 650 hours of course material, including lectures, labs, and tests. Today I am working hard to convert those courses into an online school, but it takes lots of time, and I have needed to prioritize which courses to do first. Most of the courses in my online school have been those requested by customers. I created 8 textbooks I sell on my website for the avionics program. You can find them on Amazon, but I get very little income when sold on amazon, so I encourage people to go to my website at www.avionicseducation.com and purchase books there. And you can always ask me questions about the books. It seems like a lot, but everyone who applies themselves will have a great opportunity to get into aviation maintenance. You do not need and A&P certificate when you work as an Avionics technician at an airline or a repair station. You will be able to obtain a repairman certificate from the FAA that will allow you to return your avionics work to service while employed.

In this episode, we talk about the need to obtain an FAA FAR 145 Repair Station. I had been sent some questions from you and Jose Salazar, and I reviewed each. Most people who wish to become a FAR 145 repair station usually are well versed in the maintenance side of the business. However, learning how to apply for and run a repair station requires administrative and managerial skills. This live feed talks about the organizational skills required Repair Station Training Web Site http://avionicseducation.homestead.com/FAR145.html?_=1671810393221 Bruce Bessette contact: avionicseducation@gmail.com Jose Salazar contact: saladbar@comcast.net

In this Livefeed, I will be answering question I received from an A&P mechanic who lives in a remote part of the state and is working as a roving mechanic. He wants to know if obtaining a FAR 145 Repair Station certificate from the FAA will be worthwhile.

Practice for Jose and I need to trim this one

In this live stream, we are going to finish a part one video on the subject of troubleshooting an aircraft magneto system. the reason for the delay is the fight we all are having in getting aircraft parts. In this session, we will repair the magneto and then install it back onto the aircraft.

The live feed this Thursday is to cover the last part of the aircraft magneto troubleshooting and repair. we repair, time, and install the magneto.

In this LiveFeed we will help you earn your YouTube Master Avionics Technician badge by learning how to troubleshoot a typical wire in a large air carrier aircraft. We will use basic troubleshooting skills and review wiring diagrams and charts to find the connectors. Before we meet, please review how to use the multimeter video. https://youtu.be/yMETqdvNBXw. See you here on Thursday September 15 at 7pm CST.

In this video, I have an opportunity to take a real-world problem I got called out on. A pilot reported a magneto problem on his aircraft, and I went through the first process of troubleshooting the problem. Part one will take us to the ordering of the parts we need. Then, we will repair the magneto in part two and reinstall it onto the aircraft. I am also promoting the live stream on September 15 at 7pm CST, in which we will perform a troubleshooting exercise for the location and repair of aircraft wiring. I had asked in the video that anyone wishing to attend, who has not used a multimeter, review the Multimeter 101 video on my channel. Link for Multimeter Video https://youtu.be/yMETqdvNBXw

in the next live feed, I am going to go over exactly what an Avionics Technician working on aircraft. I'm going to talk about what certificates you could get and what subjects you need to know. You will learn what a typical night is like for an Airline technician or one who works in a shop or repair station.

In this live feed, the subject is what an avionics technician is and what their job is when working on aircraft. We will discuss the work environments and describe the job when working for an airline or as a bench technician at a repair station or manufacturer. Join me Thursday night at 7pm CST.

In this live feed, we will cover a couple of subjects dealing with what FAA mechanic certificate. I will first cover the process of getting one. Then I need to talk about the changes to the Mechanic school rules. then I need to cover an article from Flying Magazine talking about how the mechanic shortage is worse than reported..

In the next Avionics Education, I am going to cover a question from a military member about getting an FAA Airframe and Powerplant Certificate. Tune in on Thursday and join the conversation.

This will be Live Stream number 2. In this presentation, I will let you drive the conversation more than last time, focusing on aircraft ownership. I have been an active mechanic who has performed aircraft inspections for more than 22 years. I and I have owned aircraft, individually, through a partnership, and through a club. Bring your questions, and I can cover them during the live feed.

After completing my first live stream last Friday, I want to prepare better for the next one. So any question about aviation is fair game. Put them in the comment section in this video and I will answer them in the next live feed,

The new Boeing pilot and technician outlook report came out, and I want to go ever the numbers. This report is created by Boeing to forecast the needs of the aviation industry in the next twenty years.

In this Livestream, I am going to cover the different types of aviation careers and talk about the pay, working environments, and certification and educational requirements.

I go over the Boeing report about the prognosis of the aviation industry for the next 29 years.

This video describes how the FAA defines the term airworthiness of a Type of Certificated Aircraft. The video is a small part of a larger course on aircraft's major repair and alteration. If you want to review the course, you can go to: https://avionics-education.thinkific.com/courses/aircraft-major-repair-and-alterations It cost nothing to sign up and review the first lesson.

This course is designed to help those who need to know how to properly alter or repair a civil aircraft. This five-part course will educate on how to: • Defining Airworthiness • Defining Major vs Minor Alteration • Acceptable Parts • Approved Data • Acceptable Data • Weight and Balance • FAA Form 337 • Field Approval Application For more information you can preview the course at: https://avionics-education.thinkific.com/courses/aircraft-major-repair-and-alterations
