For those who are working toward their NCATT (National Center for Aerospace and Transportation) certification

Avionics: Beyond The AET is the book for those who already have an Aircraft Electronics Technician (AET) certification and are ready to add the NCATT AET Radio Communication Systems endorsement. Beginning with a review of key AET concepts, this volume quickly moves on to more advanced avionics material.

It is assumed that the reader has a thorough knowledge of aviation electronics and preferably holds an Airframe and Powerplant certificate or an NCATT AET certification. An AET certification will open the door, and this text will let the student take a step into the rewarding field of avionics

Author Tom Inman has worked in avionics for over 30 years and is an associate professor and co-department chair at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. He is a regular contributor to the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) magazine. His wealth of practical and academic experience is now available to you through the pages of this new title.
