Avionics Fundamentals

* This book was developed by the Maintenance Operations Training unit of United Airlines for use as a training course for airline maintenance personnel. It is a prerequisite to Category II qualification training courses on specific aircraft types.

Many of the avionics principles found in this text are not easily discovered elsewhere. The information is useful to anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of flight directors, autopilots, air data computers, radio altimeters, VORs, localizers, glideslopes, compasses, gyros, HSIs, and RMIs.

Throughout the book, the authors present their information from the perspective of the avionics technician. Every device has its own particular input and output signals, and these are shown and discussed in great detail.
