In this lecture we do a short introduction into what to expect and a definition of connectors.
In this lecture, we talk about what are LRU's & Circuit Breakers & how to draw them on a wiring diagram.
In this lecture, we discuss how to label wires, and the difference between a splice & a terminal block.
Here we go through our first example of a wiring diagram.
In this lecture, we go over some general principles, rules & best practices.
How to size circuit breakers and how to select wire gauge.
Explore mil-spec 38999 connectors, learn how to derive part numbers from shell size, insert arrangement, and pin or socket options, with plug or receptacle types and keying examples.
Explore cockpit annunciators signaling master warnings and cautions with red or amber indicators, and review Sun Applied Avionics annunciators, sealing, terminals, momentary or latching actions, test circuits, and pinouts.
Explore mil-spec wiring, cable constructions, conductor specs, color codes, and Amphenol resources; learn how shielding, twisted pairs, coax cables, and back shells protect and organize aircraft wiring diagrams.
Explore acronyms and conventions in avionics wiring diagrams, including built in tests, OEM and legacy configurations, solid vs dashed wires, bonding, ICDs, and the general assembly drawing tree.
Learn how to create cable assembly and panel and subsidiary drawings for aircraft wiring, including connectors, harnesses, and maintenance access, with lab versus aircraft drawing practices.
Explain how to prepare a certification plan and design compliance program, show compliance options, and describe signing off by delegates and Transport Canada for avionics modifications.
Learn to prepare the electrical report and a system safety assessment for STC modifications, including regulatory references, electrical loads analysis, and a 30-minute emergency battery requirement.
Explore how FMEA analyzes every pin and wire to detect faults and mitigations, and how the source-victim matrix and EMI test plans verify avionics modifications.
Explore avionics wiring diagrams, compare splice and block connections, and learn drafting on 11 by 17 sheets while covering circuit protection, materials, and fiber optics.
In this course, I teach you the information you need to know to be an Avionics Designer. I teach you how to properly draw and interpret aerospace wiring diagrams, parts selection, how to navigation military standard specifications and finally how to certify your design. Whether you're a student, recent graduate or seasoned Aerospace Engineer this course fills in the gaps of your knowledge about avionics design so you can be a rock star at work.
All companies whether it be Boeing, Airbus, or even SpaceX have to draw their wiring diagrams according to the ASME Y14 drawing standard. That means that the method in which wiring diagrams are drawn all follow the same principles. In this course, I demystify the world of Avionics for you and not only teach you how to interpret but also how to properly draw excellent wiring diagrams.
Parts selection is also standardized in the industry. Almost all aerospace parts whether they be in aircraft or rocket ships use military specification standards to be manufactured to. If you know how to come up with a part number in accordance with the standard you can understand how to order any part. I go through the most commonly used military standards and teach you how to create the sequence of numbers and letters that make up a part number so you can understand how to do the job of an avionics designer.
Lastly, with every design must come the proper documentation. I go over with you how companies create aircraft certification documents so that you understand the full process from design to certification.
