AVX-10K - 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 AVX-10K and associated ground support equipment to perform complete AC 20-165B performance testing of installed systems. Familiarization, setup and testing using the AVX-10K for ILS, VOR, Comms and ELT. Use the AVX-10K for troubleshooting feed lines and antennas.

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:

  • Testing and troubleshooting of ADS-B/UAT installed systems.
  • AC 20-165B performance verification.
  • 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 AVX-10K.
  • AVX-10K test capability and operation for all systems supported.
