Essentially, avionics refer to aviation electronics. Avionics encompasses components. the cabin crew directly use them. Avionics is an essential part of an aircraft because they are required to complete a multitude of flight tasks.
The term avionics, which is derived from two words “aviation” and “electronics” refers to all kinds of electronic systems and equipment for installation and use on aircraft or spacecraft.
Avionics plays an important role to perform and complete a wide range of tasks and functions regarding every aircraft purpose and mission. In general, the more complicated the purpose and mission is, the more complex avionics system is employed to operate.
Avionics comprises different systems such as navigation, communication, fuel and control systems, data recorders, weather radar, lighting devices, flight display, performance monitors and etc. Aerospace vehicles use avionics to fulfill different missions, to measure, trace and progress performance, create explorations and facilitate maintenance.
