Principles of Avionics, Third Edition

"Avionics Training" is the first book to explain avionics in simple terms, with over 400 illustrations in full color. It assumes no knowledge of electronics, uses no math, formulas or confusing abbreviations. The book explains the operation of 30 systems, how they relate to each other, how they're installed and troubleshooting techniques. This is a hands-on book that replaces theory with "hands-on" information. There are chapters on mounting instruments, preparing wires and connectors, running cables, installing antennas and other practical techniques. The book not only covers conventional avionics of the last 50 years, but the most recent technology, such as GPS, satellite communications, collision avoidance, the new transponders and electronic flight instruments (EFIS). "Avionics Training" was written because of new directions in the avionics industry. The demand today is for people with a "systems" understanding---which is required to find problems and replace faulty "black boxes." This is in contrast to people skilled in circuit theory who repair small components inside the box. The need for such skills is disappearing because the new computerized avionics must be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. The result is increasing demand for troubleshooting on the airplane while it's on the flightline, especially as more electronics spread through almost every onboard system. Already adopted as a text by teaching institutions, this book is recommended for any type of aviation technician, pilots, newcomers entering the avionics field, and marketing and manufacturing personnel needing a broader knowledge of the avionics industry.

Avionic Databuses discusses the fundamentals, workings, testing, troubleshooting, and fault correction of the modern avionics databus as found in advanced transport category, bus-jet, and military aircraft; plus details of several specific types including Honeywell's SafeBus, SAE's linear token passing bus and high speed ring bus, the Eurofighter EFAbus, AFDX/Ethernet, and others. With this edition 100 pages have been added to cover the most important new developments in databuses; AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex Ethernet) and TTP (Time Triggered Protocol). The book also describes every major databus on today's civil and military aircraft, including ARINC 429, 629, MIL-STD-1553, ASCB, CSDB, SafeBus, EFAbus, and more.

Avionics Installation Handbook

by Robert Horan

This book explains the most critical safety certification required by commercial and military aircraft. The authors describe each step in creating and submitting formal documents for government approval. Their advice is highly practical, acquired over 20 years of performing successful certifications now flying aboard every major airliner and many military aircraft. The book includes dozens of real-life anecdotes to show where applicants go wrong, fall victim to common myths and waste time with misconceptions. The authors approach avoids the abstract by delivering clear advice on such practical matters as budgets, staff members, tools, programming languages and schedules. They give numerous rules-of-thumb for guiding the reader along what can otherwise be an arduous path to certification. Although the book deals with each milestone of a program, the authors point out, We don t teach regulations, but how to think like the FAA! That approach has worked for scores of companies, helping avoid damaging overruns in budgets and schedules. As DO-178 (software) and DO-254 (hardware) certification become established in aviation, they are spreading to other industries, such transportation, medical instruments and power generation. As in aviation, these technologies are now in the digital world, and need to meet high standards of safe operation demanded for aircraft. Increasingly, these other industries are required to meet DO-178/254 certification. As the authors explain, the official DO-178 and DO-254 documents are not only vague and non-specific, but have to be! The reason is, they need to apply to a wide range of systems. The authors meet the challenge by skillfully interpreting the intent of the documents. They have been doing it for years in world-wide seminars that have trained more people than all other seminars combined. Their book is the first text on this critical subject.

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. 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.

Principles of Avionics

Now in its 13th year of publication, "Principles of Avionics " describes every major avionics system, land- and space-based. The latest edition expands coverage of digital avionics, databuses and satellite systems . Legacy avionics such as ADF, VOR, DME, ILS, VHF, terrain warning and TCAS are updated with added text and illustrations. The book is widely used in college courses, technical schools, military and government agencies, and corporate libraries. It is the designated text book for avionics seminars held around the world. A Glossary of over 300 terms spells out acronyms used in avionics. Three Appendices show standards affecting avionics (RTCA Documents and ARINC Characteristics) and a table of VOR/DME frequencies and spacing. At the end of each chapter are review questions based on the text. Also available is a DVD containing all images in the book for classroom projection.
