Avionics Lab

The Avionics Lab contains equipment for general aviation, business, and commercial air transport aircraft avionics systems. Networking and wireless connectivity are also a major focus of the avionics lab.

The lab incorporates projects for network configuration, management and troubleshooting of aircraft satellite communication, air-to-ground and cellular connectivity from safety to broadband solutions.

Also, this lab has tooling for integrating, installing and repairing conventional aircraft wiring.  In addition, the lab has a full complement of equipment for testing digital, wireless and fiber optic systems. The lab gives students extensive hands-on experience with industry-standard avionics ramp test equipment for navigation, communication, digital standards and surveillance.

Research Capacity:

Investigations into integrating various avionics systems into different aircraft, compatibility of new equipment and creating new avionics displays are all possible research areas.
