Aircraft Maintenance Digital Techniques – Module 5

This comprehensive teaching solution combines two training systems to support the delivery of practical learning for aircraft digital techniques across internationally recognised aviation maintenance programmes.

This solution includes:

EFIS – AV3737

Digital Techniques in Aviation – BL2976

Together, these systems are designed to fulfil the requirements of practical learning outcomes within:

• European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part-66 Module 5 – Digital Techniques
• UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Part-66 Module 5 – Digital Techniques / Electronic Instrument Systems

It also supports selected practical learning outcomes within:

• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) programmes, including AM.II.H.K13 – Electronic Displays

Supplied as a complete teaching solution, the kit includes all the Locktronics hardware required to complete the practical activities, together with two structured student workbooks providing over 15 hours of guided practical learning.
