just a tech

...and I have questions. Maybe an answer or two also.
I ran across this forum during web searches for information. I am an AHRS specialist and I am the maintenance support for the AHRS systems produced by a certain German manufacturer.
My professional background includes duties as a Weapons System Tech on P-3C Orions during the late 70s. I have a lot of RF experience in a wide range of settings, from on-site service to manufacturing. I spent a number of years in the civilian world wishing to re-enter the aviation fields, and I've been an AHRS specialist for seven years now.
So, back to AHRS: if it is pulled from an Sikorsky S-76 or S-92, Bell 412, Pilatus PC-12, Learjet 45 or 31A, Cessna 540/560 XL, and a few other aircraft anywhere in the world except for Europe (and maybe a few other places), then it will come to me. If I cannot fix it it will be sent to the manufacturer in Germany.
I am here primarily to get information. I have basically NO information on how the AHRS is integrated to the various display systems and this can make serving customers very difficult. I worked AHRS for two years before anyone told me that the T-6 trainer has only one AHRS system. :ugh:That's just one example. I'd sure like to pick the brains of a lot of folks who are nameless and faceless to me. :confused:
In the course of acquiring knowledge I am more than willing to share some of my own. I am a customer-oriented kind of guy and I don't mind helping another fellow out. If you're working with one of these systems and it's giving you fits, or if you just want to know something then give me a holler. I'm always glad to help. :ok:
