How can the repair of billion dollar aircraft be relevant to the repair of today’s vehicles?
The use of computer technology has made many of the systems and the underlying principles of systems of the common automobile surprising similar to that of aircraft. Much of Raytheon’s aircraft training is directly relevant to automotive repair. For some vehicle systems, Raytheon sees the technicians committing 70 to 80 percent of the total job repair time toward diagnostics. Continued expansion of electrical and computer based systems such as electronic stability control, tire pressure monitoring, hybrids, and advanced entertainment systems will only serve to increase the diagnostic time. What makes Raytheon’s training programs so unique? No one currently supporting the automotive repair industry offers a truly “blended learning system” that Raytheon provides. Most competitors offer a single or duel training methodology that typically includes classroom learning and possibly on-line self-study. Raytheon has a comprehensive toolbox from which it draws a variety of teaching methodologie
