COURSE TITLE: Pro Line II (Generic)

Level I Operations & Flight Line Maintenance

PREREQUISITES: Students should have basic knowledge of aircraft avionics systems and
a working command of the English language (interpreters are available
for special cases).

PURPOSE: This course provides line maintenance personnel with training to

operate and perform flightline maintenance for the Pro Line 2 System.
This course is designed to teach troubleshooting for replacement of line
replacement units (LRUs) and does not include internal maintenance of
any component.
The Pro Line 2 System consists of the LRUs identified in the section
titled EQUIPMENT TYPE by nomenclature and part number, including
associated peripheral equipment identified as deliverable hardware.

OBJECTIVES: Upon completing this course, the student will be able to:

1. Provide an overall understanding of Pro Line 2 Avionics Principles and Operation.

2. Identify System Components and the Functional/Operational Characteristics of each
LRU.
3. Identify Typical Aircraft System Interface/System Architecture.
4. Perform Fault Isolation to a faulty LRU.

COURSE LENGTH: 5 Days

TRAINING MATERIALS:

1. PowerPoint Presentation with LCD/Box Light projector

2. Student Guide – Flash drive (pdf) – Training Presentation
