Avionics, or aviation electronics, are devices and systems implemented in aircraft to replace the traditional mechanical and analog equipment used by pilots. With avionics, the flight crew can execute an operation safely and efficiently, regardless of whether a mission is to transport passengers between destinations or intercept a hostile aircraft. There are many reasons as to why avionics are advantageous, examples including their offered safety, all weather options, fuel reduction capabilities, improved performance and handling, and much more. To help you become more familiar with avionics equipment, we will cover the most common types that are found in most aircraft.

Auxiliary power units (APUs) are electrical power and heat sources used in mobile systems and operate independently from the main engine that is responsible for propulsion. Some of these mobile systems include passenger cars, buses, trucks, ships, and aircraft. Within aircraft, APUs generate on-board electricity for air conditioning and other related systems, especially during on-ground, and take-off procedures.
