The fascinating world of
AVIONICS
If you have an interest in electronics, or would like to know how I spend my weekdays,
check out these cool digs!  These are the repair benches I jump between at work:

The two above photos represent about half of the SMALLER section of Repair and Overhaul.
This is where we repair most of the aircraft Radio Communication equipment.
ADF (Automatic Direction Finder)
DME (Distance Measuring Equipment)
Here are some individual benches in the larger section:
UHF - VHF Comm
Navigation - Communication (NavCom)
EMH Control Heads and Displays
Autopilot and Synthesized Vision
Transponders, Instruments

Saving the coolest thing for last, below is the EFIS unit I repair.  This marvel of technology combines
several traditional instruments into one simple, dazzling display in addition to providing SYNTHESIZED
VISION which enables the pilot to actually see what he is flying into when normal vision is completely
blocked by fog, clouds, darkness or severe weather. The EFIS contains a Pentium III processor and
operates in real time, combining an onboard global terrain database and GPS technology.  The display
is intentionally simple to minimize confusion and sensory overload, and retails for $54,000.
Playing a significant part in the evolution
towards "glass cockpit" technology, the
EFIS is shown with a few of its many
screens and options, along with a couple
pictures of typical installations in the
aircraft.  I consider myself extremely
fortunate for the honor of repairing these.
