The
FAA avionics systems course is specifically structured to provide
the necessary knowledge associated with certification of avionics
systems in accordance with U.S. Federal Airworthiness Regulations
(FARs). The course is designed for avionics system design,
integration, or test personnel; or flight test engineering support
personnel from within industry or government sponsored Civil
Aviation Authorities (CAAs).
The
course is an intensive review of the background of all aspects of
FAA avionics systems certification including, but not limited to,
certification procedures, the FAA designee system, ground tests,
flight tests, flight test techniques, truth data, acceptable
methods of data presentation, standardized interpretation of the
FARs, and a review of the documents required for FAA
certification. Certification testing of communications,
navigation, weather radar, and integrated multi-sensor systems
will be covered along with the special certification procedures
required for cockpit instruments and displays. Human factors and
workload assessment testing will also be addressed. Each student will
participate in approximately 4.5 hours of hands-on flight
experiments involving certification testing of
communications/radio aids to navigation, electronic flight
information systems (EFIS), weather radar, and global positioning
systems (GPS).
This
course is also offered as a one week, academics only course.
Upon
completion of the course, the participant will have a thorough
knowledge of FAA avionics systems certification procedures and
will be capable of actively working on avionics systems
certification programs either for the manufacturers or the
certification authority.
