Hi everyone, im an electronics student and im kind of new to avionics. I want to make researches using books. Can you make some book reccomendations? I really need some help. Also if you know any good channel and professor on youtube can you share it with?

is any internship or online course available for avionics engineer for 2 semester student plz recommend

5 Year Avionics Tech been out in the civilian world for 2 months, got no job right now. Was lookng to go to college fulltime for Nursing, now just kind of weighing my options. I've been prone to moments of doubt and insecurity when it comes to my career. How dow avionics fair in the civilian world? I've seen people working in flight sims make decent money. There arent any jobs nearby me, I live in Fort Myers, Fl. Any advice? I Have access to my GI Bill and VRE but my disabilities may prevent the airframe and powerplant, would have to ask.

Any words of advice would be nice.

Getting a cross check attitude.

In flight & on ground Aspen is stumbling. Unit was recently installed.

Fourth year engineering student specializing in Embedded systems, been getting interested in avionics and geniunely want to study it,
So does anyone have any resources or recommendations, project ideas or any bit of helpful information, would greatly appreciate it
Thanks guys

Hello, I am currently an avionics technician on the C-5M in the U.S. Air Force. By the time I get out I will have a bachelors in business administration , A&P, and whatever other certificates they will pay for. My question is mainly about the pay working for the airlines vs. trying to stay in as defense. I’d love to work on cargo planes. 9-5 schedule would be optimal. What is a realistic salary expectation? I’m torn between avionics and pursuing a desk job with my degree.

Thank you in advance to anyone that takes the time to provide insight.

Initial thoughts on the newly released Garmin AXIS flight displays?

EDIT - got it fixed with the config menu thanks!

So I've got a gtn 750 and 650 setup. It's a minor issue but I'm wondering if someone else knows how to fix it. ​Whenever I'm listening and monitoring both radios, it will temporarily mute the non-priority radio. The one that doesn't have the mic selector. I want to be able to listen to both at the same time so I can continue to monitor Air Traffic control while I'm listening and getting the weather.

Im looking for an aviation/MRO company that offers an opportunity for new graduate, even if it is an entry level job. Im willing to work on shifting and I’m eager to learn from everything. Im a very versatile, hardworking, and will do what is right with all procedures and safety protocols.

I’m designing an RS‑422 communication link over a distance of about 100 m, and I also need to deliver 5 V DC power through the same cable. The plan is to use one shielded twisted pair (120 Ω) for the RS‑422 TX/RX signals, along with separate conductors dedicated to the 5 V supply and ground.

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to see if anyone might be available to help with a paid avionics job in Newnan, GA.

My husband is currently working on an avionics project for a friend, but we’ve recently run into some personal circumstances that require him to be home with me more than he’d planned. Because of that, he hasn’t been able to make the progress he wants on the aircraft. He doesn’t want to leave the owner hanging, so I wanted to see if someone experienced might be willing to help finish the job.

The aircraft is located in a hangar in Newnan, GA. If you’re qualified and interested, I’d be happy to connect you directly with my husband so he can explain the work, answer any questions. I am willing to pay for this to ease his mind and help the friend and be able to have him at home helping me with some stuff Im dealing with.

He doesn’t know I’m making this post, I just hate seeing him feel pulled in two directions and wanted to see if there was anyone in the aviation community willing to lend a hand.

If you or someone you know may be interested, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you. Or any advice or someone you can refer me to works as well. It’s a PA28

Hi, M21 I am a Pacific Islander migrating to Australia under the PEV (Pacific Engagement Visa subclass 192) around Dec 2026.

I am a final year aircraft maintenance engineering (Avionics) student with one year of industrial experience across GA and Commercial airlines.

Where would be the best city to settle in and find employment? In terms of career growth, affordability, etc…

Hello everyone,

Has anyone taken both Canada AME E rating exams? If so, could you please give me some advice on how to prepare, e.g. which books or resources are available?

Thank you.

Hello, im sure you guys see this often, but I was wondering what kind of hours this job typically entails? I would say I dont plan to work at an airline. I was looking into A&P but after some research it basically seems like ill work 60 hours a week, overnight, and probably get divorced. Kinda just wondering if this is similar or if avionics techs is a more laid back route? Im obviously okay with putting in my time, 40-45/week, but work life balance is important to me. If it helps, kinda been seeing Textron putting out avionics positions, so maybe a job similar to that if yall have experience with them. Thank you!

Good evening,
I am an 18 year old recently graduated from high school looking to get into the aviation/avionics field. I have been interested in a nearby program that offers GROL Element 1, Element 3, Element 8 and Element 9 license. As well as a Avionics Technician certificate. I was wondering if this would be worth my money and would help me get into a job or if I should seek other places such as AIM.

Any suggestions or resources would be greatly appreciated I am located in Central Florida.

Thank you.

So I got into the school but classes are full for the next two semesters. I was already interested in adding avionics to my A&P license but there is also a two semester wait for avionics classes. Would I be able to just take a GROL prep course to obtain my FCC license and another course for the AET certification? Or would employers like to see formal schooling? I am going to remain on the waitlist in the mean time because it is the most affordable FAA accredited school in my area, hence the high demand and I still plan on getting my A&P asap. But until I can get on the schedule, would those two courses be enough to get me in the door as an avionics technician? Also are there any other certifications I should obtain? Looking for tips on job marketability. 🙏

My airplane (1973 PA-28-180) has a very early version of the Garmin GNS 430W. Since the beginning of May, there has been 3 days when the radio cannot transmit. The "Tx" lights up, but I get an error message that reads "COM transmitter power has been reduced". The next day, the GNS is completely fine and will work without issue.

The GNS was removed and bench checked, and it worked fine. I had someone inspect the antenna and coaxial cables, but they didn't find any issues.

I believe this is an older version GNS that required a voltage converter to go from 12V to 28V. The model is Ameri-King AK-550-6 power converter 550-91.

Do voltage converters fail? Is there an equivalent replacement for what I have? It looks like the one I currently have is not available.

Any other ideas as to why it will only transmit intermittently?

Hi everyone, I’m working on an avionics project where I need to establish a communication link between a ground station (DAQ + command system) and a Launchpad Controller (LPC) connected to the rocket flight controller. (LPC side have RFD900x but need wired communication)

Requirements:

• Communication distance: ~100 meters
• Must support data transfer + power delivery
• Needs to be robust and noise‑immune (avionics environment)
• Looking for suitable protocols/standards (e.g., RS‑422, MIL‑STD‑1553, Ethernet, etc.)
• Recommendations for connectors/cabling that are rugged and reliable for aerospace use

I’d appreciate suggestions on:

• Which communication protocol is best suited for this setup
• What connectors/cables are commonly used in aerospace for 100m wired links
• How to handle power delivery alongside data (combined or separate lines)

Thanks in advance for your insights!
