Avionics Investigation (AVI)
Course Description
Avionics is a specialized field in the world of aviation, and for that reason, gaining experience and knowledge from the most experienced, highly trained specialists is essential for those looking to enhance their own education in this area. Modern aircraft are becoming more dependent on computer systems and the software that drives the efficiency of aircraft operations. When the avionics have internal faults or their programming results in aberrations to desired flight parameters, the investigator must be able to delve into the inner workings of the hardware, firmware and software to fully understand the contribution the system may have played in the accident sequence. The Avionics Investigation course provides attendees with a unique opportunity to work with avionics investigators to understand the role of electronic systems in aviation accidents/incidents. Understanding how avionics systems and technologies influence the ultimate physical flight of the aircraft is critical in gaining perspective on their role in accident investigation.
Course Attendees
This course has been designed to benefit investigators of aircraft accidents as well as individuals from a variety of governmental or commercial organizations involved in the aviation industry. Attendees of this course should show an interest in expanding their knowledge of advanced avionics and electronic systems investigation.
