Welcome to Avionics Education's first Livestream session. This session is about a small section of ATA 20 aircraft electrical connectors. avionics-educa... www.avionicsedu...
Retired from the Air Force in aircraft maintenance and am now turning wrenches again in the civilian world. This is a great refresher and I actually learned new information. Thank you!
Wow just looked at this again for the first time since I recorded it. Damm was a rookie. I will redo this in the future to make it more professional. I am relocating to another state and will be setting up again in the near future. I had been laid off in the COVID pandemic and wanted to keep teaching. Stay tuned
Sir You are providing a great service to our aircraft maintenance industry, many of us can definitely benefit from the avionics training you are sharing Great info Thank you much
Thank you so much for your interest. Right now I am in the process of rewriting all of my textbooks into a comprehensive Avionics Training Cirriculum. I am hoping that it will be the definiatvie Avionics Training reference moving forward.
If you want to get the BACC catalog you must have access to a Boeing ATA Chapter 20 in the Wiring Diagram Manual. However I have found other Manufacturing catalogs that provide the Boeing conversion numbers.
Avionics Education that's great. To answer you question from the previous video, can you make a video regarding the most common test equipment used today? I know there is a wide range so whatever you think a entry level to an intermediate tech should know?
Hello everyone. I say in the video that this was only one part of the aircraft installers course. As a test, this was successful for a video for views. But not for translations into my websites.
Thank you for making this. Coming from a different low voltage field and considering moving to avionics, this was informative. With regard to the first mil-spec alphabetical contact identification, I understand that the uppercase I (India), O (Oscar), and Q(Quebec) are omitted, but is it true that the exact same are omitted in lowercase? Intuitively, I was assuming that in the case of lowercase, l (lima) would be omitted as opposed to i (india), with the others making sense...
Thank you for teaching to read the pins. I have a question. what is bussed contacts and how to read them? do they follow similar clockwise/anticlockwise rule or are random progression? thanks!
Well it's not for everyone. My students paid more attention because I had a hands on project to do after the lecture. I just through this out there to provide some education or entertainment.
Well This video is beginning to get some traction. I am moving to a new location and have been working hard to set up my studio again. Look for another video on this subject. Please give me comments about the subject you would like to see on this channel.
I would enjoy to see a video on electrical troubleshooting and chasing wires. Using a multimeter to determine a ground, short, and open, and reading a wiring diagram would help the technician community.
I maintained EC-130s while in the Air Force too. But I was at Keesler supporting the 7th ACCS, before they went to DM. I was an Instrument Systems Specialist. I am currently working for an aircraft maintenance company and trying to get back into Avionics. Everything is so different from what I remember of my Air Force experience. Thank you for helping me catch up with today's Avionics.
Thanks for your reply. I was in the 41st ECS at DM from 83 to 87 when the planes were new. After leaving the Air Force, I got a job at America West Airlines as an Avionics technician. The first night I got assigned a job to repair an audio selector in a Boeing 737-200 in the hanger. At that moment, I learned that I knew next to nothing about avionics. The Air Force did not prepare me except to teach me that there are maintenance manuals and documents. Over the next four years, I educated myself to be an avionics technician. (My Dad help a bunch) Fast forward 20 years. I was hired to create and teach an Avionic program to help a college feed their A&P and sheet metal program. I promised never to allow another avionics technician to have that night of panic and realize that they might be a fraud. I created a program that allowed my students to go to work on day one. Not this license to learn the A&P is. My students learned about maintenance manuals, wiring diagrams, wire troubleshooting, and repair, selecting and operating test equipment, and how to work in an FAA certificated repair station or airline. As soon as word got out and my students began to graduate and start working, every one of my students had a job waiting for them. The program ended over 5 years ago, and the college policy was they would not pay for course development. As a result, I have over 650 hours of classroom materials, including 8 textbooks, class powerpoints, labs, worksheets, and tests. I am doing my best to convert this material into a self-study course. In addition, I have created some online courses, and I still keep up to date with the NCATT material. I am in rewrite now of the NCATT AET and just finished the Radio Communications Systems Add-on test guide. Soon after, I plan to complete an Autonomous Navigation System book to include autopilot and flight director systems. I know that companies are offering a quickie NCATT AET certification class with mostly meager success rates. But remember, the NCATT AET is not of much value without the add-on ratings. It would like an A&P mechanic with only the general written test done, then going to work. So I am trying to provide the material there for you, but it will take work. But the one thing I can tell you is - IT IS WORTH THE WORK! So I can provide you with some references, and for the best part of signing up for my online courses, you have access to the instructor. (I have been doing a lot of life coaching lately) So good luck to you. Here are some websites to help you. www.avionicseducation.com/Avionics-Textbooks.html avionics-education.thinkific.com/
Thank you, I have been looking for a video like this .I am getting it to high end automotive/race car wiring With DT connectors and bulkhead connectors And using DMC AF8 Crimp tools, you filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge thank you again . I am always trying to learn new things from my hobbies And grow my knowledge and capabilities call, you're helping people that aren't even in the aviation industry as well
Yes you can if you use the matching contacts crimple onto a jumper wire. I made a selection of jumpers with one end a socket the other a matching pin. I had at least 8 sizes and types of contacts for jumpers. Then alway had an aligator lead to connect to ground to troubleshoot the wire.
