AVX-10K & IFR6000/4000 Operations Training
This course is designed to provide maintenance personnel with the knowledge and skills required to operate and configure IFR6000 & IFR4000 to verify and maintain transponder, UAT, TCAS, DME, ILS, VOR, Comms and ELT. Plus a complete review all features and benefits of the AVX-10K Flight Line Test Set with emphasis on testing transponder (Mode S and ADS-B In/Out), UAT, TCAS and DME.
Presented by: Dave Horan, product applications engineer, VIAVI Solutions
Course Objective:
IFR6000 - 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 IFR6000 and associated ground support equipment to perform complete AC 20-165B performance testing of installed systems.
IFR4000 - Familiarization, setup and testing using the IFR4000 for ILS, VOR, Comms and ELT. Use the IFR4000 for troubleshooting feed lines and antennas.
AVX-10K - 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:
IFR6000 test capability and operation for all systems supported.
Testing and troubleshooting of ADS-B/UAT installed systems.
AC 20-165B performance verification.
IFR4000 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 IFR4000.
AVX-10K test capability and operation for all systems supported.
