COURSE OVERVIEW:
Our Certified Military Aviation Courses are designed to meet the
requirements of the SAE ARP5602 (Society of Automotive Engineers) Knowledge Competencies
and Skill Set requirements as well as the NAVAIR NA-01-1A-505-4 (Military Aircraft Fiber Optic
Cabling). Students who complete this training are eligible to take the Aerospace Fiber Optic
Installer examination (AFI108), the Aerospace Fiber Optics Technician examination (AFT107) or
the Aerospace Fiber Optics fabricator examination (SAEFAB). In addition, all aviation students
may take the Fiber Optic Evaluation and End face cleaning examination (FEEC117) based on the
ARINC 805 standard.

This course teaches the following connectors and termini:

MILSPEC:
ST Connectors

LC Connectors

M29504/4 Termini Oin (Style 1)

M29504/5 Termini Socket (Style 1)

D38999 multi-terminus circular connectors

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Our course is designed for those students who will be installing, connecting, cleaning and
evaluating, repairing, testing and troubleshooting fiber optic systems and equipment on military
aircraft. After completing this course, each student will be able to install and maintain fiber optic
cables and systems onboard military aircraft.

According to MIL-STD 1678 the training required to work on military aircraft is as follows:

Actions shall be taken to ensure personnel are trained by training organizations certified for
the training required proficiency skill sets. Organizations shall ensure that military maintainers,
depot artisans, prime and sub-prime contractors, and others within the fiber optic community
(both Governments and commercial) have initial and maintain an adequate skill set for their assigned fiber optic responsibilities. Implement reoccurring training or otherwise augment as
needed to ensure skill set sustainment. Perishable skill sets are those that are lost or degraded
rapidly (usually within months) if not practiced or performed. On military platforms, the fiber optic
cable assemblies intended to be inspected and maintained are cable harnesses, (1) equipment
(electronic module/package) such as an ATC, LRC, LRM, LRU or WRA with internal fiber optics,
(2) circuit card modules and assemblies with internal optics, and (3) other miscellaneous cabling.

RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITES:
Successful completion of the knowledge competencies and skill sets as set forth in the ARP5602 and
qualifies you to take the following ETA (Electronics Industry Association) exams:

• Aerospace Fiber Optic Installer examination (AFI108) based on SAE ARP5602

• Aerospace Fiber Optics Fabricator examination (SAEFAB) based on SAE ARP5602

• Aerospace Fiber Optics Technician examination (AFT107) based on SAE ARP5602

• Fiber Optics Evaluation and End face Cleaning examination (FEEC117) based on
  the ARINC 805 standard.

Note: There is an additional $180.00 fee to participate in each examination.
