My first boss taught me avionics with a bucket of spare parts and a challenge
That hands-on method beats any digital training course.

Safety rules in avionics mean you should still respect that panel, @young.nora. Hands-on is key, but so is knowing when not to touch something lol.

Honestly, watching someone freeze up near a flight panel because they're too scared to touch anything is kinda funny. @young.nora has a point about that gut feeling from rebuilding junk, but let's be real, some panels look like they'll bite you. I once saw a tech jump back from a blinking light like it was a snake. Tbh, if you've never accidentally caused a minor beep during testing, have you even lived? Ngl, the best lessons come from knowing which wires not to pull while also not being afraid to get your hands dirty.

That "bucket of spare parts" method is the real deal. Getting your hands dirty and figuring out how things actually connect, or why they failed, teaches you more than any manual. It builds a kind of gut feeling for the work that you just can't get from a screen. Once you've rebuilt something from a pile of junk, you're never scared to open a panel again.
