Aircraft Communications and Navigation Systems

Now in its second edition, this book is aimed at people entering the aircraft maintenance engineering field and related aerospace engineering disciplines, especially those who seek licensed aircraft maintenance engineer status. The main principles of aircraft communications and navigation systems are introduced. Modules 11 and 13 of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part-66 syllabus are addressed. Specific subjects covered include: antennas, transmitters and receivers, VHF communications, HF communications, flight-deck audio systems, emergency locator transmitters, aircraft navigation, automatic direction finders, VHF omnidirectional range, distance measuring equipment, instrument landing systems, microwave landing systems, hyperbolic radio navigation, Doppler navigation, area navigation, inertial navigational systems, global navigation satellite systems, flight management systems, weather radar, air traffic control systems, and traffic alert and collision avoidance systems. Self-test questions, exercises, and multiple choice questions reinforce the principles learned.
