<p>Now in its second decade of publication, the new update contains over 500 pages of the latest avionics theory and application. Widely used in engineering schools, libraries, the military and government agencies, the eighth edition covers developments in 10 avionics databuses, air traffic management, such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance and satellite navigation. All legacy avionics, including VOR, ADF, ILS,transponders (ATCRBS/Mode S), DME, TCAS and weather radar are brought up to date. The book contains 11 chapters, a glossary and 3 appendices. Major subjects include: Terrestrial Radionavigation, NDB, VOR, DME, TACAN, LORAN, ILS Marker Beacon, Glideslope, Microwave Landing Systems, Radar Altimeter and Terrain Warning, Satellite Navigation: GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Beidou. Surveillance Systems: Free Flight, Primary Radar, Secondary Radar, ATCRBS/Mode S Transponders, Collision Avoidance (TCAS), Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS), Lightning Detection, Weather Radar. Airborne Communications: VHF, HF, Air Traffic Management, ACARS, SELCAL, Search and Rescue Beacons, Digital Communications and Networking. Onboard Communications: Microphones, Speakers, Headphone, Digital Communications (ARINC, MIL-STD, CAN, GAMA buses) and Fiber Optics. Indicators, Air Data Computers, Flight Control Systems and Complete Avionics Systems.</p>

<p>New Edition of the most widely-used engineering text on avionics Written by an eminent professor of avionics, Dr. Albert Helfrick of Embry-Riddle University, this book includes every communication and navigation system, plus the latest spaced-based avionics. The text describes navcom, transponder, VOR, ADF, DME, TACAN, instruments, radar, autopilot, collision avoidance and enhanced ground proximity warning. The book also covers recent systems; Mode S, electronic displays, Free Flight,GPS space and earth segments, laser gyro's, fiber optics and avionics architectures. Principles of Avionics is the most timely book on avionics now available. This edition introduces a new chapter on the most important concept now affecting avionics; Performance-Based Navigation and Required Navigation Performance. Dr. Helfrick explains how avionics, once discussed as separate systems, are now viewed as components in a much larger infrastructure for air traffic management. He describes the technical requirements affirmed by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). The author describes the theory of each system with figures, photos, problems and solutions. Over 150 graphics illustrate basic principles. Dr. Helfrick is also well-known as an avionics test equipment designer, consultant to FAA, and frequent speaker at the Digital Avionics Conference. In his teaching role at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Professor Helfrick's students are in 2- and 4-year engineering programs.He wrote this book to meet a longstanding need for a text and reference for anyone needing to know the latest theory and practice behind airborne electronic systems.</p>
