Each system is described in basic theory, followed by a breakdown of that system's components,and then onto installation, operation, calibration, and maintenance. Many examples and diagrams are included for specific Rockwell, Bendix, and Honeywell, and other common models. This book assumes a basic understanding of electronics theory. This is a popular advanced textbook for the avionics technician.
