Lectures

Goal

Objectives of the course are to introduce students to aviation electronic equipment and systems, their functions, structures and basic principles. The subject should provide students a detailed a detailed view of the latest trends in avionics technology and development.

Outcome

Successful completion of course students acquire the ability to understand the existing solutions aviation electronic equipment and systems.The student acquires knowledge about the structures of various types of avionics equipment and systems. The knowledge that allow students to opt for other aviation issues to understand the electronic aviation equipment and systems,and for those who want to specialize in these issues are fundamental to the acquired knowledge for further work.
