What Is Avionics Testing?

Avionics testing ensures avionics systems meet stringent safety standards and function optimally. The testing process simulates real-world situations to identify potential malfunctions, making it crucial for overall flight operations' safety and efficiency.

Typical Avionics Systems

Testing avionics systems for performance and reliability improves aircraft and spacecraft safety and contributes to mission success. Common avionics systems include:

Communications: Communications (comm) systems include radios and satellite equipment that facilitate communication between pilots and air traffic control, other pilots and ground support. Comm systems also allow spacecraft to send and receive transmissions from Earth-based control centers.
Navigation: Navigation systems determine an aircraft's position and include Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Wide Area Augmentation Systems (WAAS) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS).
Flight control: Flight control avionics assist pilots in controlling the aircraft and maintaining its flight path, including autopilots and fly-by-wire systems.
Radar: Radar encompasses a wide range of avionics equipment that monitors everything from weather to other aircraft in the vicinity. Radar equipment includes transponders, traffic collision avoidance systems (TCAS), weather radar and radar altimeters.

Air Data Calibrators

Our ADC Series Air Data Calibrators measure airspeed pressures and altitude. Featuring two absolute digi-quartz transducers and an intuitive user interface, these high-accuracy systems are suitable for military and commercial test applications.

Air Data Calibration Test Systems

Our Air Data Test Systems serve as aircraft leak testers and allow fault isolation for units under test. These devices offer comprehensive system integration for optimal performance and are compatible with existing avionics infrastructure, ensuring scalability and flexibility.

Air Data Support Equipment

Our Air Data Support Equipment includes reliable tools to test and calibrate aircraft systems. Each component plays a significant role in measuring parameters essential to flight safety and efficiency, helping with:

Accurate flight data provision
System integration testing
Fault diagnosis and troubleshooting
Regulatory compliance
Training and simulation

Flightline Pitot Static Test Sets

Our Flightline Pitot Static Test Sets function similarly to air data calibrators but include more complex features that allow them to create and simulate air data conditions for testing. They are ideal for calibrating airspeed, altitude and other data sensors before installation in aircraft. Unlike air data calibrators, which excel in real-time data capture, the Pitot Static Test Sets are great for functional and operational testing and troubleshooting.

Selecting the Right Avionics Test System

Choosing the right avionics test system is crucial for achieving accurate results. Consider the following factors:

Testing requirements: Select products specifically designed for your applications, whether for communication, navigation or flight control.
Ease of use: An intuitive interface can eliminate the learning curve and improve efficiency.
Compatibility: Ensure the system is compatible with your existing avionics to easily identify and resolve issues.
Industry compliance: Choose a system that meets applicable regulations and aviation standards to avoid testing complications.
Portability: A portable system facilitates transportation between hangars and test areas. Look for ruggedized equipment suitable for harsh environments.
