Avionics Laboratory

The Avionics Lab contains equipment for general aviation, business and commercial air transport aircraft avionics systems. Networking and wireless connectivity are also a major focus of the avionics lab.

The lab incorporates projects for network configuration, management and troubleshooting of aircraft satellite communication, air-to-ground and cellular connectivity, from safety to broadband solutions.

Also, this lab has tooling for integrating, installing and repairing conventional aircraft wiring. In addition, the lab has a full complement of equipment for testing digital, wireless and fiber-optic systems. The lab provides students with extensive hands-on experience with industry-standard avionics ramp test equipment for navigation, communications, digital standards and surveillance.

Research Capacity

Investigations into integrating various avionics systems into different aircraft, compatibility of new equipment and creating new avionics displays are all possible research areas.
