                      Advanced Electrical & Avionic Troubleshooting & Fundamentals          Level 2

    

            Level 2 of the GlennCo Advanced Troubleshooting Training of Electrical Wiring Systems on Transport Category Aircraft

​

 Curriculum Objectives
The primary objective of this Advanced Aircraft Troubleshooting & Fundamentals Class is to provide the technician with the   comprehension and technical knowledge to comply with the wiring practices & procedures coupled with the skills & confidence to   perform wiring troubleshooting with an outcome of defect rectification so desperately needed in the line maintenance environment. 

​

 The absolute benefit of this course is that each technicians troubleshooting skills data is captured and emailed to the your     training department confirming your best and top troubleshooters.

 

The other absolute benefit is this training captures and will identifies the areas the technician will need additional training to improve their troubleshooting skills and procedures

 

 The DATA we capture for you is :

 1-   The Total Time it takes to fix the defect and perform an operational check

 2-   The Total Number of Meter Interactions 

 3-   The Number of Parts Replaced 

 4-   The Total Cost of the parts replaced

 5-   The Total Cost to replace Meters destroyed or rendered unusable 

​

 Curriculum Overview
This curriculum is to provide the Line and Base Maintenance Technician with the instructional training necessary to comprehension   and application of the Standard Wiring Practices Manual as well as an introduction to Wiring Diagrams and System Schematics.  

 The students are presented with an overview of the FAA Human Factors PEAR model, as well as the FAA’s method of investigating   aircraft related incidents.

 The first module “Basic Electricity” presents the students with the basic knowledge of what electricity is. It provides an overview of the   building blocks of matter, defines protons, electrons, atoms. What are conductors and what are insulators, and why.

What are   electric charges, magnetism, defines DC and AC current. Covers series and parallel circuits, Ohms law, shorts and opens as well as describes resistance, capacitors and capacitance, and diodes.

​

 Logic Symbols Introduction introduces digital logic. The student is presented with the symbols representing digital logic gates   and their truth tables. Each logic gate is presented with interactive examples to describe their functions. Building on this   knowledge, the student is presented with a series of increasingly difficult interactive circuits they have to solve.

 The Logic Circuits module presents the students with logic circuits as used in aviation schematics. It introduces the student to the   System Schematic Manual definitions. Presents example schematics from the SSM to begin to challenge the student’s   comprehension of real-world usage of digital logic. Explains proximity sensors as inputs to logic using the Door Warning System.   Introduction to logic symbols in the External Power system. Uses the APU ignition and Starting system to visualize control inputs   to digital logic and how the SSM can span multiple sheets.

 Signal Flow Fundamentals introduces the student to an overview of deductive and inductive reasoning and a four-step process to   troubleshooting. Explains the Paths of Influence concept and a four-step process 

 

 The student is led through a progressing series of hands-on interactions that challenge them to begin applying the four-step   process to quickly identify critical paths and repair actions. The instructor can monitor and see real time , each individual technicians progress on his instructor computer. Sometimes technicians will need coaching or assistance if they become stalled in the process.

 

 Introduction to the online meters begins by introducing the student to an interactive Digital Multi-Meter. Measuring AC and DC   voltages, measuring resistance, testing diodes, continuity testing including recognition of opens & shorts. Includes interactive   example circuits from the Fuel Pump  3-Phase system Faults, BPCU functions and External Power Faults, Fire Detection Faults, Pitot Heat issues, Landing Light faults. Introduces the student to the   Wiring Diagram Manual WDM. WDM Symbols, differences between the SSM and WDM.

 

 The  6 troubleshooting modules are interactive course modules that tie all of the previous elements together, and are based on   Boeing 767 aircraft systems. Each one presents the student with a PIREP describing a problem with the aircraft. An interactive   screen allows the student to perform a functional test, the AMM and FIM sections for the related problem are available, as well as   an interactive SSM and WDM diagrams. The student is tracked along with a running cost total for parts and labor. The student   uses the knowledge they gained from the previous modules to troubleshoot and identify the faulty component.

 

There are multiple troubleshooting modules in each of these systems:

• Landing Light System

• Fuel Pump System

• External Power

• Engine Fire Detection

• Pitot Heat

• BPCU

 

The student uses the virtual meter to make DC, AC, and Frequency measurements at various points in the schematic and wiring diagrams. They can change switch states, and open-close circuit breakers as they apply logic and the four-step process to pinpoint which component is defective.
