Aircraft maintenance demands precision, with distinct specializations for mechanical and electronic systems. The Base B2 Tool Kit equips B2-certified avionics engineers with the necessary tools to maintain and repair an aircraft’s electrical systems.

B1 vs. B2 Certification

• B1 Engineers: Specialize in mechanical maintenance (engines, airframes, hydraulics, fuel systems).
• B2 Engineers: Focus on avionics (electrical systems, communication, navigation, autopilot).

Purpose of a Base B2 Tool Kit

Designed for diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining avionics systems, the Base B2 Tool Kit supports deep inspections and complex repairs.
