This course is targeted for the homebuilder or avionics technician who wants to learn about performing an avionics installation in an experimental aircraft. The class focuses on the Garmin G3X Touch and AXIS flight display systems. A simplified example harness is constructed as part of the hands-on portion of the class. While the AXIS flight display system is the primary focus, the wiring principles and general guidance can be applied to any experimental avionics system. From the do-it-yourselfer to the avionics shop looking to carve out a niche, this class has something for everyone.

The Basic Wiring & Avionics Installation course is designed for certificated repairmen, new avionics technicians, aviation maintenance technicians and recent graduates interested in improving or acquiring the skills necessary to perform avionics installations. This three-day seminar employs in-depth theory and hands-on individual lab exercises to immerse the attendee in the best practices used to plan, manage, and install a general aviation avionics panel. The individual installation lab includes: Garmin GTN 650Xi, Dynon SkyView HDX, Dynon D30, PS Engineering PMA8000BT Audio Panel and Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics CHRONOS Digital Clock/MAX Power USB Charger

NEW!

VIRTUAL-LIVE COURSE

This official preparation course for the AEA Certified Aircraft Electronics Technician (CAET) exam is ideal for technicians seeking to learn and/or validate their foundational knowledge of avionics. Students will gain the foundational knowledge required for entry-level avionics roles – including core electrical concepts, wiring procedures, digital avionics, instruments, and key avionics systems – to ensure they walk into the exam and shop with confidence.

NEW!

Modern aircraft are no longer just mechanical systems, they are software-defined platforms. A single improper update, missed verification step, or unauthorized action can compromise configuration control, invalidate airworthiness, or introduce latent system risk.

This high-impact training program is built around the FAA’s guidance in AC 43-216A, focusing on the real-world execution of software management during maintenance not just policy, but what technicians actually do on the line and in the shop.

VIRTUAL-LIVE COURSE

This course is designed for currently employed repair station personnel and installers and maintainers of ADS-B systems. A small percentage of general aviation ADS-B installations are non-compliant based on the FAA’s ADS-B Performance Monitoring System. This course focuses on the proper configuration and testing of ADS-B installations to ensure your installation meets the performance requirements and regulations. Also included are troubleshooting tips and tricks that will help you resolve the common problems found in ADS-B installations.

VIRTUAL-LIVE COURSE

Risk management is a vital element of any successful business. Whether driven by best practices or responding to a regulatory requirement, the AEA has your solution. Leveraged by the 900-strong repair station membership, the AEA developed a proprietary SMS program designed specifically for maintenance organizations. This program is currently used on every continent. The AEA has been coordinating with the Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Canada Civil Aviation, as well as discussions with the Australian government's Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, for future acceptance.

This weeklong course provides an interactive environment to learn, understand and implement the regulations that govern repair station design and operations.
