Capstone – Avionics Project
Paper details:
Assignment:
Now that you’ve learned how some of these systems are designed it’s time for you to do some research on how specific avionics work.
Write a 2 page double spaced well-formatted MS Word document (with citations…citation page is not counted in the page count) that provides a framework for comparing two different avionics systems and the future of aircraft systems (this can include both ground and air systems). [Hint: Such a document would most likely include an introduction paragraph, a table comparing individual characteristics, and a conclusion paragraph.]
For example, you might want to compare ADS-B with GPS, VOR’s (VOR, VOR/DME,VORTAC) with GPS for the comparison of avionics systems and you may want to talk about the FAA’s Next Gen System Wide Information System as part of the future aircraft systems.
A couple of sources to get your research going: FAA-Advanced Avionics Handbook (Links to an external site.), FAA-Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (PHAK) (CH8 & CH16) (Links to an external site.), NextGen (Links to an external site.)
ERAU Navigation Systems (Links to an external site.)
ERAU Special VFR Pitot Static Instruments (Links to an external site.)
ERAU Special VFR Gyroscopic Instruments (Links to an external site.)
ERAU Special VFR G1000 Basics (Links to an external site.)
Other things to consider but not appropriate for this assignment:
ERAU Special VFR Magnetic Compass (Links to an external site.)
ERAU Special VFR Airport Lighting (Links to an external site.)
Don’t hesitate to go through the three pages in this module prior to this project assignment as additional resources.
This assignment uses TurnItIn to check for originality (to ensure it is not plagiarized). As this is partially an assessment of your ability to apply MS Word skills, the documecgont must be submitted in .docx format.
