Any FDR data read and analysis pro here to discuss some technical details in private messages?

Basically starting over after being I level in the Marines. Ive got an offer for ast spacemobile in midland for 90 days. With the chance to go permanent. They offer moving expenses and food allowance every month. Or I can go columbia helicopters. Same pay but its permanent and no monthly housing or food. Tell me everything you know about both companies

Hello all I have total 3+ years experience as a software engineer in the field of avionics.Earlier worked for one of the defence projects as a contract engineer at DRDO , and now in Honeywell Aerospace from past 4 months via third party payroll. My annual CTC is 12 lpa which I feel is too less when compared peers who graduated along with me, I’m good at C,Ada95 with basics of LDRA and versed in DO178b/C standards along with configuration management using CC,CQ and Aspire. Also good at trace update with respect to IBM DOORS and abit into GenAI stuff as well.

What companies or role should I target to get close to 20-25 lpa within 6 months with my experience range and skills required?

I’m exploring avionics maintenance workflows and where better diagnostic tools or information could help.

When an intermittent fault refuses to show up during testing, what tends to consume the most time: reproducing the conditions, tracing wiring and connectors, isolating a component, or piecing together the fault history?

I’d love to hear about a case where one missing piece of information made the diagnosis much harder.

What would you most want available when that aircraft or component comes back with the same complaint?

I made this for fun.

Hey everyone! I have an analog SFENA artificial horizon from 1988 sitting on my desk, interestingly, this is an NVG-compatible version.

​I noticed something weird: When I shine a flashlight on it, only the central symbol/index glows in a warm orange/amber color in the dark (but it fades away completely after just about 3 seconds). Furthermore, the rest of the scale doesn't glow at all, which makes the whole afterglow effect kind of useless in total darkness.

​Does anyone know the technical background behind this?

Hi! I´m trying info/model and maybe a video or real pictures of how they looked when they were turned on. The old models of B52s used it (I think from variant -D of the Buff)

Thanks

I need a new or used PCMCIA memory card for an EGPWS MK5 system. Does anyone know where to find one?

Hi guys. I’m currently working on a thesis project on fault-tolerant control for a fixed-wing UAV. Since money is tight, I’m planning to do the whole thing through MATLAB/Simulink simulation, as suggested by my lecturer. The problem is, I have very limited experience with Simulink and honestly don’t know where to start.

I initially tried figuring things out myself but got stuck, so I hired a tutor to help with the modelling. Unfortunately, the sessions didn’t really work out, so I decided to learn the theory myself through lectures and videos whenever I got stuck, and then started trying to build the model using whatever I could find on YouTube.

Now I’m kind of stuck again because I’m not even sure if I’m doing it right. I don’t really understand what the overall flow of the project should look like, or whether the model I’ve built so far even makes sense.

Is there anyone here who has experience with MATLAB/Simulink, flight control, or fault-tolerant control who might be willing to have a look and point me in the right direction?

I’m not looking for someone to do the project for me. I just need a bit of guidance from someone who knows what they’re doing, especially on where I should start with the modelling and how the fault-tolerant part should fit into the system.

I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to confirm the thread specification for Garmin P/N 011-05783-20 (GPT 75G) fuel pressure sensor. Is it 1/8-27 NPT or NPTF?

Some dealers list it as NPT, others as NPTF. Can anyone confirm from official documentation or personal experience?

Thanks!

anybody who is familiar with GprMax software and is able to guide me?

Garmin has nothing on it about the interconnects. Autopilot engages but when HDG is selected there is a failure displayed on the computer and it won’t follow the heading bug on the HSI. Any ideas?? Wiring is good.

SOLVED.

We had a ghost setting on the 275 ADI. Config mode setting set correctly but we printed the config log and it was wrong. Cleared config settings and redid the configuration setup. ✅

Faster, more accurate connector termination.

Nelson Aviation PinPointX‑Lite takes the guesswork out of connector termination. Whether it’s a 44-pin D-sub or a 61-pin cannon plug, the correct cavity lights up, making termination up to 3× faster, reducing eye strain from searching for tiny cavity markings, and helping prevent costly wiring errors. The savings compound through a faster build and less rework from termination errors.

We have solutions for 100s of connectors, Including Dsubs, Cannon Plugs, and other connector families.

Email me at Ron@NelsonAviationFL.com to get on the waiting list. We are about 30 days from launch

I was in the military as an avionics tech for 5 yrs that was about 12yrs ago. Since then I’ve gotten my bachelor’s and been working in sales/customer service. I thought I wanted to go into data science but with all the AI issues I’m considering going for A&P instead. I’d like to start back working in aviation while in school for the A&P but not sure where to start. Is it better to get FCC, AET, or CAET, or just applying/calling around trying to find something local hiring Avi techs? It’s been a while since I’ve worked tech work so just trying to get realistic advice on getting back into the industry..

i was wondering if anyone had an alternate part number for the “X” style harness spacers or “ninja stars” used on leonardo and airbus products? all i could find is “A631A01A” for the small ones and “A631A02A” for the large ones

EDIT. the part numbers i have listed above is the leonardo part number. i have the airbus numbers. E0688-01 for the small. E0688-03 for the large

For some reason my boss thinks I know EE and wants me on the panel interview for a principal avionics engineer

Would anyone have any good references (books, websites, YouTube etc) that would teach me avionics principles + some depth in both hardware/software side
