AET3222 — Avionics Systems Interconnect
This course introduces students to the study of databus communications in avionics systems. Topics include databus architectures, topologies and protocols, study of industry standard busses including RS 232, ARINC 429 & 629, MIL-STD-1553, CSDB, and AFDX (Ethernet) and the study of flight data recorders, entertainment, iPod, DVD, and moving maps. Students will construct, test, and communicate with a basic avionics databus in laboratory projects. Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: explain the difference between digital and analog systems that are currently being utilized in modern avionics systems and interface entertainment and moving maps into avionics systems that are found on modern corporate jets and general aviation aircraft.
