General electronics/digital aircraft systems are -  ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System) EICAS (Engine Indicating & Crew Alerting System) FMS (Flight Management System)      ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) An  electronic  centralized  aircraft monitor  (ECAM) is a system, developed by Airbus , that monitors aircraft functions and relays them to the pilots.  ECAM produces messages detailing failures and in certain cases, lists procedures to undertake to correct the problem. Airbus developed ECAM, such that it not only provided the features of (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System)EICAS, but also displayed corrective action to be taken by the pilot, as well as system limitations after the failures. Using a color-coded scheme the pilots can instantly assess the situation and decide on the actions to be taken. ECAM was  designed to...

You can't imagine a world, quite frankly,without a safe and secure aviation system. And so our job is to really focus on that, and what we need to do to keep it safe and secure. -  Janet Napolitano

  "Aviation is proof that, given the will, we have the capacity to achieve the impossible"                     Eddie Rickenbacker Aeronautical or  Aerospace Engineering is one of the most challenging fields of engineering with a wide scope for growth. This field deals with the development of new technology in the field of aviation, space exploration and  defense  systems. It specializes in the designing, construction, development, testing, operation and maintenance of both commercial and military aircraft, spacecrafts and their components as well as satellites and missiles.                   As Aerospace engineering involves design and manufacture of very high technology systems, the job requires manual, technical as well as mechanical aptitude. Aeronautical engineer's usually work in teams under the  supervision of senior engineers, bringi...
