A. Course Description
This course was developed for current AMTS students, veterans with aviation experience and
aviation maintenance industry professionals to fill in knowledge gaps between current FAA
curriculum and EASA curriculum. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be
better prepared to pass the EASA module 2 and module 5 exams as part of the self-improver
pathway to an EASA license. This instructor led course introduces students to fiber optic theory,
system components used in aviation, how cables are constructed, cable routing and how to
properly clean, inspect and test cables and equipment.
B. Organization
This course is a lecture-lab course in which fiber optic topics are presented via 11 hours of
lecture, by the instructor, and assigned lab activities are completed by students during 22 hours
of lab periods. Quizzes are given periodically, and there is a comprehensive final exam. EASA
Fiber Optics students generally have had limited or no experience or exposure to fiber optics.
C. Course Objectives
1) Understand how fiber optics systems work
2) Identify components of a data bus system
3) Understand optical fiber construction
