This chapter explains the important role played by avionic systems in a modern civil or military aircraft. It describes how avionic systems can reduce crew workload, reduce fuel consumption, improve aircraft performance and improve safety. The functions covered are systems that interface directly with the pilot; aircraft state sensors; navigation systems that provide very accurate aircraft position, speed and track angle data; outside world sensor systems; and task automation systems. To illustrate the subject, some real-world examples of avionic systems are provided, as well as an overview of the avionics environment. Finally, the choice of SI units for worked examples is stated.
