AVX-10K & IFR6000/4000 Operations Training

This course is designed to provide maintenance personnel with the knowledge and skills required to operate and configure IFR6000 & IFR4000 to verify and maintain transponder, UAT, TCAS, DME, ILS, VOR, Comms and ELT. Plus a complete review all features and benefits of the AVX-10K Flight Line Test Set with emphasis on testing transponder (Mode S and ADS-B In/Out), UAT, TCAS and DME.

Presented by: Dave Horan, product applications engineer, VIAVI Solutions

Course Objective:

IFR6000 - Provide students with understanding and working knowledge of IFR6000 operation with review of controls and indicators, unit connectors, and screens for setup menu, ATCRBS, Mode S, ADS-B, TCAS/TIS, UAT, and DME.

In-depth training will be provided for testing of ADS-B transponder systems with airborne equipment. Instruction will include testing of all AC 20-165B parameters in addition to avoiding high-priority avionics behavior issues of ADS-B installations identified by the FAA. This course will also discuss troubleshooting strategies to repeat or confirm issues and identify solutions. The student will be familiar and knowledgeable of ADS-B system test and troubleshooting methods using the IFR6000 and associated ground support equipment to perform complete AC 20-165B performance testing of installed systems.

IFR4000 - Familiarization, setup and testing using the IFR4000 for ILS, VOR, Comms and ELT. Use the IFR4000 for troubleshooting feed lines and antennas.

AVX-10K - Provide students with understanding and working knowledge of AVX-10K operation with review of the following:

  • Controls and indicators on the AVX-10K.
  • Menu structures and settings while testing.
  • Setup of the AVX-10K for testing a transponder, TCAS and ADS-B device.
  • Saving and transfer of test results files.
  • VSWR and DTF (distance to fault) troubleshooting.
  • Remote control operations (MobileTech phone/tablet applications and Smart  Access Anywhere).

In-depth training will be provided for transponder, ADS-B and TCAS testing. Target generation for ADS-B 1090 frequency and UAT 978 frequency

Course Prerequisites:

  • Understanding of avionics systems/transponder operations.

Course Goals:
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to demonstrate understanding and proficiency in the following:

  • IFR6000 test capability and operation for all systems supported.
  • Testing and troubleshooting of ADS-B/UAT installed systems.
  • AC 20-165B performance verification.
  • IFR4000 setup and provide test signals for testing ILS, VOR, Comms and ELT installations.
  • Troubleshoot and repair feeder coaxial cables and antennas using the SWR feature of IFR4000.
  • AVX-10K test capability and operation for all systems supported.
