Product Description
Written by an eminent professor of avionics, Dr. Albert Helfrick of Embry-Riddle University, this book includes every communication and navigation system, plus the latest spaced-based avionics. The text describes navcom, transponder, VOR, ADF, DME, TACAN, instruments, radar, autopilot, collision avoidance and enhanced ground proximity warning. The book also covers recent systems; Mode S, electronic displays, Free Flight, GPS space and earth segments, laser gyro's, fiber optics and avionics architectures. Principles of Avionics is the most timely book on avionics now available. The author describes the theory of each system with figures, photos, problems and solutions. Over 150 graphics illustrate basic principles. Dr. Helfrick is also well-known as an avionics test equipment designer, consultant to FAA, and frequent speaker at the Digital Avionics Conference. In his teaching role at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Professor Helfrick's students are in 2- and 4-year engineering programs. He wrote this book to meet a longstanding need for a text and reference for anyone needing to know the latest theory and practice behind airborne electronic systems. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Avionics," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Avionics in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Avionics when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Avionics, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
The goal of the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) concept is to rely on rapidly deployable, immediately employable, highly effective and flexible air and space packages to flexibly serve the strategic role that a permanent forward presence formerly played in deterring and quickly responding to aggression. Building on earlier analyses that framed a range of general EAF support concepts, this report assesses how well alternative logisticsprocesses and organizational designs for meeting F-15 avionics maintenance demands across the spectrum of EAF operations support this concept. The alternatives range from the current decentralized organization associated with the policy of deploying intermediate-maintenance capabilities with the flying units to consolidated, nondeployingstructures. The authors find that consolidating F-15 avionics intermediate maintenance and supporting operations from regional support bases would be more conducive to achieving the EAF goal than the current structure, offering the potential to quickly respond to rapidly changing situations, reduce deployment airlift requirements, and ease the stress thatfrequent and unpredictable deployments place on maintenance personnel. These benefits would come at the expense of greater reliance on intratheater distribution. ... Read more

Good Starter
I received this book along with the same author's publication
"Avionics Troubleshooting and Repair" seeking to gain the most information on avionics.The "Avionics Troubleshooting and Repair" appears to be a newer updated version of this same book although the titles are different.This earlier edition written in 1991, is more compact in both print and overall size.If I had to pick only one it would be the author's newest title mentioned above.The text is easier to read in the newest format.If you are seeking the most knowledge on the subject then both will serve well. ...
