Overview

Today’s aircraft increasingly rely on digital technology and complex electronic systems, not just for instrumentation, navigation, and communications, but today even for flight controls, system monitoring, maintenance planning, and more and more. Fiber optics and fly-by-wire is no longer the exception, but the rule. It is no longer limited to military, but now the basis of private and commercial aircraft both large and small. This module presents the B1 / B2 or A&P mechanical technician with what he or she needs to know for both a general understanding of these systems and the ability to work around them in an efficient and safe manner.
