Avionics describes aircraft electronics systems necessary for operating navigation, communication, and other systems. Avionics systems enable aircraft to spot targets and avoid collisions. The auto-pilot function or automated flight control is an example of an avionics system.
Avionics Systems Must Work as Designed
Military pilots rely heavily on avionics to enable them to find targets accurately and land aircraft in rough terrain and dangerous environments. Avionic systems that are inaccurate or not working properly can lead to hitting the wrong targets, veering off course, and crashes.
Qualified Technicians Keep Avionics Systems Working
Military Avionics technicians ensure that avionics systems in aircraft work as designed. Technicians inspect the systems for problems, then repair or replace any defective parts to get the systems up and running. Military avionics technicians must complete specialized classroom and hands-on training to demonstrate the ability to diagnose and repair avionic system problems.
