Digital Databus Theory & Analysis

VIRTUAL-LIVE COURSE

As today’s modern airplanes become much more technologically advanced, so must the professionals that maintain them. The advanced avionics and instrumentation systems used in these aircraft rely on various forms of digital databus communication. Understanding digital databus theory is becoming more and more important for avionics technicians, and even A&P mechanics, to effectively test and troubleshoot these highly advanced aircraft systems.

Presented by: Azimuth Aerospace Solutions LLC - Bio 

Course Goals:

  • Digital Databus Theory and Analysis explores several formats of digital data transfer protocols commonly used in aviation RS-232, RS-422, ARINC 429, and an introduction to the MIL-STD-1553 databus. 

  • Learn integration and wiring considerations for each of these databuses in aircraft installations. 

  • ARINC 429 word and bit structure

  • How to use both a handheld and PC-based databus reader

  • Students will be able to read the data being transmitted on a digital databus and interpret the data into useful information. 

Virtual Course:

  • This course will be presented live online.
  • After registering, attendees will be emailed the information needed to connect.
  • Attendees will be emailed the course materials in digital format.
  • Attendees are required to connect with a web camera.

This class is helpful for those with limited knowledge or no experience with data buses to acquire a good general overview of databuses and their use in aviation. The primary audience the course would appeal to is technicians who want to move past installs and better understand the systems they are working on. For my level of experience, I found it helpful to see how to present this knowledge, and I would recommend my junior technicians take it
