Principles of Avionics gives an excellent overview of emerging and traditional avionics systems. The reference book begins with a short history of avionics development before explaining all the avionics systems found in modern aircraft. System functions are explained in detail, including their role in the aircraft and air traffic control system. Written for avionics technicians or engineers, the in depth knowledge of the systems would also benefit a technically savvy pilot. All current systems are covered, and the book is a must for anyone interested or working in the field of avionics.
The Third Edition adds new material to keep up with the rapidly changing field of avionics. Now included are chapters on terrain warning systems, databusses and aircraft networking.
