Module 13 Aircraft Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems for Avionics: B2 Avionics Exam Manual

Module 13 · B2 · 46 syllabus subjects

Executive overview

Module 13, Aircraft aerodynamics, structures and systems, asks candidates to master the avionic view of the aircraft: instruments, autoflight, communication, navigation, electrical and integrated systems. It is pitched at B2 depth, the avionic and electrical route to certifying staff privileges, so every chapter of this study manual is selected for B2 candidates and nothing is padded with content outside your category.

The edition maps to 46 syllabus subjects of Regulation (EU) 2023/989, Part-66 Appendix I: 11 at Level 1, 9 at Level 2, 26 at Level 3. That split tells you where to spend your hours, since Level 3 subjects are examined in the greatest depth.

Study it alongside the Quiz Engine: each syllabus reference in this manual is a Quiz Competency, so you can practise one subject at a time, then run a timed simulation of the Module 13 examination. Your Online Senior Instructor uses the same references to send you back to the right chapter.

How it helps you pass the exam

  • After the manual you can trace signals between sensors, computers and displays, explain autoflight modes and their engagement logic and describe radio, navigation and surveillance systems and their limits.
  • It confronts the classic stumbling block head on: mode logic of autoflight and the architecture of integrated systems.
  • Expect system-architecture questions that reward a block-diagram mindset; the chapter order follows the syllabus so you can tick subjects off as you go.

Written for B2 candidates in the avionics and electrical stream, including technicians moving from a mechanical background. This manual supports your study and exam preparation. It does not replace approved Part-147 training or the examination set by your competent authority.

Frequently asked questions

Which licence categories does the Module 13 B2 edition cover?

It follows the Part-66 syllabus columns for B2. Subjects that your category does not examine are left out, so you study only what applies to you.

Does this manual replace approved Part-66 training?

No. It is a study and revision resource that mirrors the syllabus. Examinations are sat with your competent authority or an approved Part-147 organisation.

How do I measure progress in Module 13?

Open the Quiz Engine for Module 13: every syllabus reference above has its own competency quiz and the module has a timed exam simulation. Weak results are picked up by your Online Senior Instructor.
