Modern avionics make flying much safer and more efficient.
The pilot checked the avionics to ensure the autopilot and radar systems were functioning correctly before takeoff.
Advances in digital avionics have allowed for the integration of complex sensor data, enabling real-time adjustments to flight paths that were previously impossible with mechanical instruments alone.
Blend of aviation + electronics.
