What you'll study in a Avionics Technology program
- Electrical and electronics fundamentals: circuits, signals, power distribution, and digital logic
- Reading and interpreting aircraft wiring diagrams, schematics, and maintenance manuals
- Using test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to diagnose faults
- Flight instrumentation and air data systems, including altimeters, gyros, and sensors
- Aircraft communication and homing systems, antennas, and transmitter and receiver checks
- Radar, transponder, and other sensory systems used for surveillance and weather
- Navigation aids such as GPS, VOR, ILS, and inertial reference systems
- Soldering, crimping, connector termination, and inspection of wire bundles and harnesses
- Maintenance documentation, regulatory compliance, and safety and electrostatic-discharge practices

Typical pay: Early-career wages vary by employer, region, and experience (BLS, 2024 avionics technicians median $81,390).
Avionics Technology studies the electronic and electrical systems that let aircraft fly, navigate, and communicate, and it teaches the hands-on skills to keep those systems working. Coursework covers flight instrumentation, communication and homing systems, radar and other sensory equipment, and navigation aids, along with the electrical theory behind them: circuits, signals, power distribution, and digital logic. Students learn to read wiring diagrams and schematics, use multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators, solder and terminate connectors, follow approved maintenance manuals, and troubleshoot faults on both civilian and military systems while documenting work to strict standards. Where Aviation Maintenance focuses on the airframe and powerplant (the structures and engines that carry and move the aircraft), this field focuses on the electronics that sense, control, and guide it.
Most students enter through a certificate or associate degree at a technical school or community college, and some programs prepare graduates to pursue a Federal Aviation Administration repairman certificate or to work under an FAA-certificated repair station; certain electronics roles may also align with industry credentials such as those offered by aviation electronics associations. Graduates work for airlines, repair stations, aircraft manufacturers, general aviation operators, government agencies, and defense contractors, and military training in avionics can be a separate path into the field. A program is preparation for entry and certification testing, not a guaranteed job, and pay, available openings, and the systems you work on vary by employer, region, security-clearance requirements, and your experience.
In federal data for the closely related occupation of avionics technicians, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2024 median wage of $81,390 and projects employment to grow about 8.2% from 2024 to 2034; a postsecondary nondegree award is the typical entry-level education for that occupation. National figures are occupation-wide medians across all experience levels, not starting wages or graduate outcomes.
