Summary of the topic

The core curriculum used in course 1206 (Basic Avionics Technicians) at regal Air Force Cosford. Paying specific vigilance to the Twelve week stage of training engaging Hangar teaching Flight. 'No substantial part of this allotment has been submitted previously for the purposes of evaluation to the University of Wolverhampton or any other informative establishment.'

Introduction and background

This allotment will aim on a course educated in my teaching establishment at Royal Air Force (RAF) Cosford in the West Midlands. This is course number (CN) 1206, educating rudimentary Avionics Technicians (BAvT's). This course takes raw recruits straight from seven weeks basic employ teaching at RAF Halton and, hopefully, turns them into Avionics Technicians adept of employed assuredly on any one of the countless avionics equipments in use on RAF Aircraft in service today.

The complete 1206 course is Sixteen to Eighteen months in extent but my exact locality of blame is towards the last mentioned end of the course, roughly at the Twelve to Thirteen months point. The trainees arrive at Hangar teaching Flight (HTF) for the penultimate stage of training before passing out from RAF Cosford. HTF is expressly conceived to train the scholars in the 'psychomotor' domain, firmly hands-on the gear and within an environment that is as close to the real thing as we can probably make it. The trainees then graduate as fully trained Leading Aircraftmen (LAC's). This is a good issue to mention that there is no sexist bias proposed in this declaration at all, the Woman's regal Air Force (WRAF) which did exist within the RAF itself, was disbanded some years before and now there are no longer 'Airwomen' in the RAF, every person is classed as an 'airman'.

The present 1206 course took over from the rudimentary mechanics course in late 2000. The trade boundaries and therefore the training syllabus had been undergoing a foremost overhaul all through the subsequent part of the eighties and well into the nineteen nineties. We have gone from lone trade to multi-trade (Avionics) mechanics and have still not fully resolved into the final evolution as I will converse about later. The three original electronics trades of Communications, air travel schemes and RADAR have all amalgamated into the Avionics (Av) trade and the one Avionics tradesman that we glimpse today. Whether this approach is better will be analyzed during this essay. RAF Cosford has been the dwelling of Electronics instruction in the RAF for nearly seventy years. As I have currently asserted the very rudimentary requirement and need for an electronics technician inside the RAF has not changed in all in that time but the job description has. As I have currently stated, in the twenty years that I have been in the airforce the job recount tagged to my document has changed two times and is about to change afresh in the next two ...
