• The purpose of this theoretical and practical training is to familiarize participants with the
functional string of the equipment’s circuits
• During training, the operator will be able to perform maintenance, repair and troubleshooting tasks
based on hands-on example
• After completing training, trainees should be able to carry out equipment performance evaluation
procedures. In the context of hands-on sessions, in case of failure, the trainees should be able to
apply a logical technical approach leading to diagnosing and correcting the problem by replacing
the appropriate component.
PROGRAM
• Review of equipment basics
• General operation
• Interconnection
EQUIPMENT COVERED
• Any equipment (old or new generation) upon customer request
DAT E S / D U R AT I O N
• Upon request/to be defined with customers
-- Control box
-- Interpreting failure codes
-- Test bench performance check
-- Settings and adjustments

From this perspective, our first concern is to pinpoint your expectations and constraints so that we
may offer you training that is closely suited to the needs of trainees.
Collins Aerospace in France organizes training in French, English or Spanish, at our facilities or
at customer premises. How long training lasts is a function of the level required the trainees’
professional background and the amount of hand-on training desired. We also offer ON-JOB
TRAINING that is entirely hands on (see page 48).
• Level I (A to D)
• Level II (A to G)
• Level III (A to J)
A. Basics/System Description
B. Specifications/Interface
C. Utilization
D. Bite/Failure Code Analysis
E. Analysis of Block Diagrams
F. Acceptance Testing
G. Primary Adjustments
H. Comprehensive study of electronic diagrams
I. Component-level troubleshooting
J. Complete adjustment procedure
We propose, then, a training plan that takes into account the number of persons to be trained and the
deadline for completing training.

Also applicable to pilot training RC level I is FAMILIARIZATION and FLM flight line maintenance with
training to troubleshooting and removing failed LRU using onboard Maintenance Diagnostic data.
The training course will train the student to isolate a failure to a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) and
remove and replace the LRU, and perform testing procedures using BIT and/or special/standard
test equipment as described in the equipment’s instruction book.
The training course will train the student to isolate a failure to a defective Shop Replaceable Unit
(SRU), remove and replace the SRU, and perform testing procedures using BIT and/or special/
standard test equipment as described in the equipment’s instruction book.
This is bench training to remove a single LRU, repair by replacing the card.
This is bench training to repair LRU by replacing a component on a card, assemble and test for
return to service.
The training course will train the students to recognize and isolate malfunctions to the defective
component, remove and replace the defective component and perform equipment alignment and
testing procedures using BIT and/or special/standard test equipment as described in the equipment
