A career in aircraft avionics
Avionics engineers look after the electrical and electronic systems of an aircraft: instruments, displays, autopilot, radio communication, navigation, weather radar and electrical power. In India, the DGCA licence category for this work is B2.
Modern aircraft depend heavily on avionics, so engineers who understand electrical and digital systems are needed at airlines, MROs and avionics shops.
Students with an interest in electronics, or a diploma in electrical or electronics, often find the B2 stream a natural fit.
What avionics engineers work on
Instruments
Flight and engine instruments and displays.
Communication
VHF and HF radios and interphone systems.
Navigation
Navigation receivers, transponders and radar.
Electrical power
Generators, batteries, distribution and wiring.
How B2 training prepares you
At Redwings Aerotechnique, B2 students study the DGCA modules for avionics and practise in the radio navigation, instrument, electrical and battery workshops.
Strong fundamentals in electrical, electronic and digital techniques are the base of every avionics job.

- Instrument workshop
- Electrical and battery workshops
- DGCA module preparation
Growing as an avionics engineer
Engineers usually start with line or base avionics tasks under supervision. After the licence and experience, they can certify avionics work and add type ratings for specific aircraft.
Some move into component shops, technical services or quality roles later in their careers.
