Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) Training Kit System

Abstract

The ECAM Training Kit System was developed as an educational tool to simulate the display of Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) pages, providing aircraft maintenance students with a realistic and practical learning experience. Designed as a simplified and cost-effective alternative to full-scale ECAM simulators, the system replicates the visual and functional layout of ECAM displays without incorporating realtime data processing. Using Python programming on a Raspberry Pi 5 platform, the system features a user-friendly graphical interface that allows students to navigate various ECAM pages, such as engine, hydraulic, fuel, and electrical systems, for familiarization purposes. The training kit generates pre-programmed static data and visual representations of system parameters to mimic the typical operation of an aircraft’s monitoring system. This project aims to provide students with hands-on experience in understanding ECAM displays, interpreting system statuses, and navigating between different pages. The product output includes clear and accurate visual simulations of ECAM pages, designed to meet educational standards and enhance comprehension of aircraft systems. By focusing solely on display functionalities, the kit ensures accessibility and affordability while maintaining relevance to the training needs of aviation students. This project contributes significantly to aviation education by offering an interactive and portable training platform, bridging the gap between theoretical classroom instruction and practical system understanding.
