2. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW 1B Introduction 2.1 17B Always follow acceptable avionics installation practices per AC 43.13-1B, AC 43.13-2A, or later FAA approved revisions of these documents. The GPS/WAAS installation instructions have been prepared to meet the guidance material contained in AC 20-138A “Airworthiness Approval of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Equipment”.
2.2.3 IFR VOR/LOC/GS Installation 85B The minimum GNS 430W installation requires the following items for an IFR VOR/LOC/GS Installation: • GNS 430W (installed in the aircraft manufacturer approved location) • GPS antenna, VOR/LOC antenna, glideslope antenna, and COM antenna. • An External CDI/HSI indicator must be installed in the pilot’s primary field-of-view (or in the aircraft manufacturer approved mounting location).
3. ARINC 429 from GTX 33/330 4. RS-232 FADC 2.3.3 Multiple Heading Sources 8B The 400W Series can accept heading data from an ARINC 429 INS/IRU, ARINC 429 EFIS, GAD 42, EHSI, GTX 33/330 transponder, ARINC 429 traffic advisory system, RS-232 FADC, and RS-232 WX-500 Stormscope®.
2. The GPS antenna should be mounted in a location to minimize the effects of airframe shadowing during typical maneuvers. Typically mounting farther away from the tail section reduces signal blockage seen by the GPS antenna. 3a. The GPS antenna should be mounted no closer than two feet from any VHF COM antenna or any other antenna which may emit harmonic interference at the L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz.
Figure 2-1. GPS Antenna Installation Considerations 400W Series Installation Manual 190-00356-02 Page 2-5 Rev.
2.4.3 VOR/LOC Antenna Location 91B The GNS 430W VOR/LOC antenna should be well removed from all projections, engines and propellers. It should have a clear line of sight if possible. The antenna must be mounted along the centerline of the aircraft, minimizing the lateral offset. 2.4.4 Glideslope Antenna Location 92B The GNS 430W Glideslope antenna should be well removed from all projections, engines and propellers. It should have a clear line of sight if possible. 2.4.
2.5 Mounting Considerations 21B The 400W Series unit is designed to mount in the avionics stack in the aircraft instrument panel within view and reach of the pilot. The primary unit location should minimize pilot head movement when transitioning between looking outside of the cockpit and viewing/operating the 400W Series unit. The location should be such that the 400W Series unit is not blocked by the glare shield on top, or by the throttles, control yoke, etc. on the bottom.
1. Determine the pilot’s primary view centerline, utilizing the following criteria: a) For aircraft with a basic “T” instrument configuration with the attitude indicator in the upper center location, the center of this instrument should be used as the primary view centerline.
