The Matrix TSL EFIS Transfer system introduces students to the principles behind Electronic Flight Information Systems used in modern aircraft. Designed for classroom-based aerospace and aviation maintenance training, the system helps learners understand how sensor data is collected, transmitted, diagnosed, and displayed through connected electronic modules.

Using an EFIS display, aircraft-style sensors, user controls, CAN bus communication, and PC-based diagnostic software, students can explore how complex flight information systems are built from smaller electronic subsystems. The trainer provides a practical way to study data communication, sensor integration, fault-finding, and system diagnostics in a safe, hands-on learning environment.

Hands-On EFIS and Aircraft Data Communication Training

  • Introduces Electronic Flight Information System concepts in a classroom-friendly format
  • Includes an EFIS display, user controls, compass sensor, altitude sensor, and additional simulated aircraft sensors
  • Uses CAN bus communication to demonstrate data transfer between aircraft electronic modules
  • Supports fault-finding activities using multimeters and oscilloscopes
  • Includes PC-based diagnostic software for monitoring and system analysis
  • Helps students understand CAN/ARINC 825 bus systems, multiplexed signals, and built-in test functions
  • Connects with Matrix microcontroller training systems for deeper investigation of low-level system operation
  • Includes curriculum materials designed for approximately 5 hours of instruction

The EFIS Transfer system demonstrates how data moves from aircraft sensors to a flight information display. Students investigate how individual electronic modules communicate using serial data, helping them understand how modern avionics systems reduce wiring complexity while improving monitoring and diagnostic capabilities.

Through guided activities, learners explore the role of sensors, data buses, multiplexing, and diagnostic tools in aircraft systems. This makes the system especially useful for aerospace, aviation maintenance, electronics, and engineering technology programs.
