| Electrical Wiring Interconnection System EWIS
Electrical wiring interconnection system (EWIS) training is a mandatory training for certifying as required by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA). Its content is based on EASA AMC 20-22 and FAA AC120-94. The course is offered at different levels, depending on the target group (see below).
After completing their training, the participant will be able to properly evaluate an EWIS and effectively use the manufacturer’s chapter 20 wiring system overhaul manual for the aircraft type concerned. The topics covered in the course include wiring system condition, applicable repair schemes, wiring modifications and ancillary repairs to wiring systems and components. All the training components are integrated to ensure that the aircraft’s wiring system quality and airworthiness are consistently maintained.
