This channel is to help people who want to get into aviation maintenance an learn about the career. It also helps those already ion aviation with questions about aviation maintenance and avionics.
Understanding Your Autopilot
This video will introduce avionics technicians to the basics of aircraft autopilots. In this video, I talk about the basic types of systems and perform ground checks for two typical systems. I also cover some simple troubleshooting techniques.

Do I need an FAA Certificate to work in Aviation MX
มุมมอง 970ปีที่แล้ว
This weejks video was about a question I had from a viewer. I was writing to find out some more on the FAA AET certification. Am I correct in the fact it is entry level and no prior aviation experience is required? I know a little about basic electricity as I've worked in building maintenance and currently work for a supply house, but I'd like to switch careers back to something more hands-on. ...

How to Troubleshoot a Magneto Part One
มุมมอง 4.4Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I have an opportunity to take a real-world problem I got called out on. A pilot reported a magneto problem on his aircraft, and I went through the first process of troubleshooting the problem. Part one will take us to the ordering of the parts we need. Then, we will repair the magneto in part two and reinstall it onto the aircraft. I am also promoting the live stream on September...

Good video thanks for making
You helped me visual my GA textbook WOW!
Thank you sir.... I appreciate the efforts you put in to make such an informative video....
I’m wondering if there is anyone on the planet that has a clue about troubleshooting a Century 4000 auto pilot system. My plane has the Century 4000 coupled to the Century HSI and GNS 430W. Although I’ve been flying for years I’ve never had the opportunity to use an autopilot so I do not know if the problem I’m having is me or the equipment. It will not hold an altitude reliably: constant trimming up, trimming down and not by little bits. We’re talking several hundred feet of this up and down crap. Until I can find someone to check it out it is disabled. I’m hoping it is just my lack of knowledge although I have studied the manual and it passes all the pre-flight tests. Totally sucks if I have to scrap a perfectly good HSI and autopilot system just because Century is oiut of business and no one knows how to inspect it to ensure it is working properly. I think there is a good possibility the problem is either me or a simple fix. It would be nice to know one way or another.
Without looing at the manual or the aircraft I will give my suggestion to look at. You are discribing the alitude or VNAV function of the system. I would look at where the system recieves it altitude information. If it happing enroute and not on approach then there could be a separate altitude module in the aircraft. (look for a static system connections) or altitude information is from an air data computer. I do not have a Century 4000 manual so I cannot be of more help. Good luck.
@@AvionicsEducation No worries as I do appreciate a a reply. I suppose my post was a combination venting about the current state of declining general aviation and the hope that perhaps a reader who also has a Century autopilot (or other) and perhaps identify with my issue. I got my private cert back in 1971 and it is disconcerting to see the decline in general aviation over the years. Experience SMEs retire and there seems to be a gap in the supply chain of experienced technicians taking their place. Again, thanks for the reply & I’ll check out your suggestions.
Sorry about not being on as much. I am starting my 6th job in aviation in the last three years. I just moved, and now I am getting my computer set back up.
Miss the videos where'd you go
I have had 6 jobs in aviation in four different states in the last three years. I just relocated hopelully for at least a couple of years. The problem is I have been just renting rooms in other peoples houses so I no longer have a place to record videos. I hope this industry improves and I can settle into a single job. I wuold love to teach full time online, but there is no way I can make a living teaching today. Hopefully in the Fall I can find a house to rent so set up my studio again.
When are you going to make more wiring troubleshooting videos
I have been working on courses for my online website. I only create courses when there is demand. I am not monitized on TH-cam so its not worth making any more videos.
Hi teacher, Appreciating your time, is wonderful
Thanks informative information regarding the process to take the exam with the FAA.
Hey, I need to get this book
Hi, I'm an aircraft maintenance engineer, I'm proud for this video; it may be a ressource of continuing to reinforce my knowlogy
Is there a “rule” for how far off it can be when setting one. Like does it have to be within 10 degrees of let’s say north.
Thank you for making this. Coming from a different low voltage field and considering moving to avionics, this was informative. With regard to the first mil-spec alphabetical contact identification, I understand that the uppercase I (India), O (Oscar), and Q(Quebec) are omitted, but is it true that the exact same are omitted in lowercase? Intuitively, I was assuming that in the case of lowercase, l (lima) would be omitted as opposed to i (india), with the others making sense...
Thank you for providing this small community very helpful info.
Super helpful, got an AMT interview for Boeing tomorrow 🙏praying that it goes well. Thank you!
Thank you. Good luck on your interveiw.
If we weren’t required to have a magnetic compass then that would mess up A TOMATO FLAMES and that would be a disaster!
Hello my name is Ruben I am going to take the test on Friday any recommendations on what I will experience thanks
Unwatchable. The guys is fumbling around and jumping back and forth for the first 30 minutes with his zoom. Somebody needs to tell him his multitasking abilities are not there and maybe jist focus on the task at hand. He might have a lot of knowledge but just not built to be an instructor.
Your right. We are instuctors for real. But learing how to do the TH-cam thing has to be done the hard way.
I have a j3 Cub with a c85. I check the mags before the flight and get a 125rpm on L & R. I also have moved the mag switch to OFF and the engine shuts down. However AFTER my flight when I move the mag switch to OFF the engine will not shut down. I have taken the switch apart, cleaned it, ohm checked it and it tests good. What do you think is the problem?
You might have an intermitten ground wire from the switch to where ever its grounded. I might even be grounded through the switch mount and it could be riding on paint or corrosion.
High profile GA accident last few days. Timely
Great video, thanks for sharing.
It's not impossible, but you have to convince the FAA inspector that you are actively engaged in aviation maintenance, exercising the A&P certificate.
Thanks for the reply. It helps to have as much information as I can.
So if I'm working as a pilot, but hold an A and P, it would be next to impossible to ever get I A?
The issue for you is convinicing an FAA ASI that you have a need to have one. You must show you have been activalty enguaged in aviation maintenance for the prevous two years.
This explanation makes it incredibly clear for a student pilot to formulate a world class answer during a check ride. Thanks!
Sir You are providing a great service to our aircraft maintenance industry, many of us can definitely benefit from the avionics training you are sharing Great info Thank you much
Thank you so much for your interest. Right now I am in the process of rewriting all of my textbooks into a comprehensive Avionics Training Cirriculum. I am hoping that it will be the definiatvie Avionics Training reference moving forward.
Great lesson. I’m waiting for more wire and avionics system troubleshooting courses. Best regards!
starts at 1:56
Can I sign an 8130 without having a 145?
😊
Hello sir Thanks for your video clips, are you still doing your online zoom coursing? If yes how can I get into your online courses? Kind regards
Yes, absolutely: I have been doing a Zoom session every Sunday night to a single student. I really would love to have a running class every sunday night. I just need some help from you, the potiential students. I had 650 hours created for my avionics program and we could pick and choose classes that you want. Let me know and help spread the word.
Thanks for your wonderful clip 🙏
Excellent explanation of the NCATT AET to a newcomer - thanks for putting this out!
Your website says all online course are cancelled (in big red letters). Will you be bringing this back anytime soon?
Thanks for letting me know. Yes I will be reactivating all of the courses again.
hi bruce ... i can use contact pin and socket pin to perform electrical check pin to pi, from connectors arinc? thanks
Yes you can if you use the matching contacts crimple onto a jumper wire. I made a selection of jumpers with one end a socket the other a matching pin. I had at least 8 sizes and types of contacts for jumpers. Then alway had an aligator lead to connect to ground to troubleshoot the wire.
@@AvionicsEducation thanks Bruce. Good day.
hi.. where i can found the tools to perform electrical check in arinc connectors? pin to pin , is necesary use contact pin or socket pi to perform electrical check in connector arinc? or i can use other tool? thanks
Thank you for your videos! I always learn a lot!
Thank you so much for creating this channel. Avionics truly is a niche subject. I don't see a lot of quality content on TH-cam but found your channel and it's just fantastic. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
11:40 For Rule #4 I have a application specific suggestion. I do a lot of shutdown current testing for automotive (dead battery in the morning). I realized that using a DMM with a 10A port for testing wasn't precise enough to test individual fuses to see which circuit was pulling 8-10 mA. The problem was that it flowed close to 1.8A in the beginning of the shut down then down to 9.8 mA after. Yet on the display it would show 0.00A, the fuse of the little 400 mA of the mA port had blown of the DMM. I found the UNI-T UT60S DMM that had a mA function in the 10A port, thereby allowing the user no need open the circuit to use the mA functionality. You could test the shutdown current, in real testing I got down to 2.8 mA which is absurdly high sensitivity from the 10A port. Its not the brand of meter pre se, rather the way the ports where configured for testing that makes it useful.
YOUR F.C.C LICENSE ALONG WITH YOUR RADAR ENDORSEMENT QUALIFIES YOU AS AN AVIONICS AIRCRAFT ELECTRICIAN
Not very well explained on FCC. The FCC is required for certain things that go beyond FAA installations and removal or field testing. . The FCC is required For Anyone who repairs any receiver or transmitter for either COMM or navigation, AFTER it has been removed......i.e. ANY FCC regulated device. Period. Repairs are made at manufacturer or repair stations. BUT AS a repair technician You Must either do it at manufacturer Facility where the FCC license is not required (technicians work under the manufactures FCC license) , or YOU MUST have an FCC certificate to do it at any none manufacture repair facility, EVEN AT a FAA Repair station you must have it . This is because the FAA repair stations do not have FCC licenses for techs to work under. You cannot repair a Radio or transponder or even a ADSB transmitter without an FCC license even at a Repair station. UNLESS you have an FCC License. IN addition, ANY aircraft where the Radio system on the plane has been registered as a RADIO station with the FCC, you NOW must have an FCC license to do ALL installs, removals or even repairs, No matter if it is a FAA Repair station or an FAA operator, or even a manufacturer worker in the field...NO one but a license FCC radio operator can service any FCC equipment that has been registered as a FCC radio station. Some people still carry radio station registration on their N numbers and some airlines by law still MUST have to have their comm systems on each plane Registered as a radio station, this is to allow international travel. In those cases , any plane that has a comm registered as an FCC Radio station, can not have any of those Radio station registered devices installed or removed or serviced by anyone but an FCC licensed person. No matter what. The only place you would not need it is at the manufacturer's facility.
Wow, you are so definitive in your position. My information about the requirement for the FCC GROL is from the FCC website themselves. Where the FCC GROL is *_not_* mentioned in any aircraft maintenance manual. I deal in the world of aircraft maintenance, and the FAA is only interested in maintenance being done by mechanics certificated under FAR 65. The FCC certificate is never mentioned because FCC rules only apply to radios under maintenance. The FAA only requires aircraft parts to meet FAR 21 rules for parts and the requirements to create the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness of the part. It's then the FCC will have oversight of the transmitter. So, the only time an FCC GROL is required for those FAA repair stations to perform maintenance on radio transmitters to meet the requirements of the ICAs. Even with that being said, in my 42 years in aviation working around avionics, I have never once seen an FCC regulation enforcer.
@@AvionicsEducation As a former NASA technical director and Post graduate degreed scientist, as well as having designed navigation and guidance systems for General electric, Honeywell avionics and DOD for military systems as well as Space systems. I have seen many people go thru their entire lives misinformed, just like you. I have seen people in charge doing things absolutely wrong for years. There are people in the FAA in charge who have no idea what the real requirements are. they simply stick to what they were told and follow it their entire lives. Like believing that only a part 145 repair station, or manufacturer can do Altimeter testing in 43 Appendix E. I can call 10 FSDO's and get 10 different answers on one subject that is well defined in the regulations. With that said, I will simply say everything you said is wrong. Dead wrong and I dont want to waste another minute trying to inform you
GOOD FACTS MY MAN YOU FORGOT THE RADAR ENDORSEMENT THAT IS ALSO REQUIRED WITH THE F.C.C LICENSE
@@melekanaka2288 That you. I don't think he knows or ever worked with a plane that has its comm system registered with the FCC as a radio station with call sign. The FAA use to require that for all GA aircraft. But they removed the requirement because it was causing pilots to be FCC licensed to use the comm and the need for FAA repairmen to also be FCC licensed people to remove and replace and test the gear. After they took out the requirement to register your plane comm with FCC updated the 145-repair station regulation in 2001. however, you still need an FCC license to open the comm and other radio related gear by law. Anything in the plane with an FCC sticker can only be repaired by an FCC licensed person or manufacturer. the FCC radar endorsement is not required unless there is a piece of gear that is in the L S or C band that need repair. Storm scopes would meet this. Incidentally. All comm related Nav gear send and receive falls under FCC, this included Tcas, GPS, and ADSB devices. He stated he never seen a FCC enforcement officer. They are everywhere. They mainly focus on manufacturers facilities, and FCC licensed radio repair shops. Because these devices are supposed to be being send to them for repair. Remember all commercial planes sill must have the planes comm registered as a radio station with the FCC. All that gear that gets repaired by commercial operators must be FCC licensed techs.
Hello, I'm an avionics engineer from Indonesia, and I'm thrilled to have discovered this channel as a valuable resource for improving my avionics equipment skills. I genuinely appreciate the content you've provided so far, and I hope to see more avionics-related videos in the future. I eagerly anticipate your upcoming videos.
Just to do IFR certs (pitot static system check)...could iget a Repair station certification been the manager and the inspector myself? Thanks for the attention
Yes you can. Many shops out there are one person operations.
