The cockpit and equipment racks of modern aircraft
are becoming filled with evermore sophisticated electronic systems.
This book attempts to describe a certain class of such systems,
namely those which rely for their operation on electromagnetic
radiation. The subject matter is complex and wide-ranging, hence
not all aspects can be covered in one volume. The book is aimed
primarily at the aircraft maintenance engineer, but it is also of
great interest to the technically-inclined pilot. Each chapter is
devoted to an in-depth analysis of one radio system as follows:
- VHF & HF Communications
- Automatic Direction Finding (ADF)
- VHF Omnirange (VOR)
- Instrument Landing System (ILS)
- Hyperbolic Navigation Systems (Omega,Decca,LORAN)
- Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
- Transponders
- Weather Radar
- Doppler
- Radio Altimeters
- RNAV
- SatNav & SatCom
- Collision Avoidance
- ARINC
