Frequently asked questions
What qualifications do I need as an avionics technician?
A completed training in avionics, aircraft electrics or electronics, the ability to work from wiring diagrams, and clean crimping and connector work to aerospace standards. Current EWIS training is expected on almost every project.
How is an avionics technician different from a B2 engineer?
Technicians perform the installation, wiring and testing work, while B2 licensed engineers certify it. Many B2 engineers started as avionics technicians — it's a common development path.
What projects are most common right now?
Cabin connectivity and IFE retrofits, avionics upgrades such as ADS-B and navigation systems, and wiring work on modification and conversion programmes.
Is EWIS training mandatory?
For practical purposes yes — clients require current EWIS training for anyone working on aircraft wiring. If yours has lapsed, refreshing it before a project start is straightforward and we'll point you to accepted providers.
