In a report to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January 2001, the Aging Transport System Rulemaking Advisory Committee recommended that wiring training be a significant component of future maintenance procedures for airplane wiring systems. FlightSafety Boeing Training International (FSBTI) offers an FAA-approved training course in Boeing airplane wiring systems that is tailored to airplane and avionic technicians, engineering staff, and other personnel with access to the airplane.
The course, Airplane Wiring Systems, incorporates lecture, discussion, and demonstration to teach students how to inspect the condition of the airplane wiring properly, use the Boeing Standard Wiring Practices Manual, implement standard wire and connector repairs, understand and apply the processes and procedures in the Wiring Diagrams Manual, and apply standard wire system troubleshooting procedures. The seven-module curriculum meets Air Transport Association Level IV standards for the development of training materials to be used by airlines in training airplane maintenance personnel.
