摘要

To address equipment limitations, environmental constraints, and potential safety risks in the teaching and training of airborne weather radar systems, a virtual simulation technology combined with physical components has been designed and implemented. This integrated system replicates both the structure and functions of actual airborne weather radar systems. Adhering to the ARINC 429 and ARINC 708 technical specifications, software programs for human–machine interaction were developed on the Visual Studio platform. This system can replicate the operational testing and system testing of real airborne weather radars, and through component testing interfaces, it enables in-depth maintenance testing of radar system accessories. Practice has proven that the system is safe, reliable, and cost-effective. The provided radar system maintenance engineering practice scenarios effectively enhance students’ competencies for relevant positions, making them significantly valuable in engineering practice teaching related to aircraft maintenance.
