2.0 QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AND DOCUMENTS

An FAA certified 145 Repair Station Radio Class I, II, and III is required to
functionally test and calibrate all avionics systems in this STC. All installation
manuals are called out in the parts section of the Wiring Harness Install Drawing
135M-156 and will need to be referenced for inspecting and aligning these
systems in detail.
3.0 ELECTRICAL POWER CHECKS

The electrical power checks are done to insure that the avionics systems wiring
modifications are correct to the various connectors and that any power miswiring
is repaired without the equipment installed to prevent equipment damage. To
comply with this all avionics systems modification circuit breakers are pulled. No
equipment is installed at this time. Each system circuit breaker is reset one at a
time and the wiring at all destinations is checked for power with respect to the
appropriate ground wiring. If the appropriate voltage is found at all destinations
proceed to the next system circuit breaker. If a fault is found, locate and repair
defect in the miswiring. When all the circuit breakers are reset this concludes the
basic wiring harness systems checks. If there is any concern about any wiring

refer to the Wiring Harness Installation DWG 135M-156 and verify continuity with
an ohmmeter as necessary. The resistance should be less than 1 ohm. Adhering
to this procedure should prevent equipment damage due to an accidental
miswire in a harness.
4.0 COAX CONTINUITY AND SWR CHECKS

All antenna systems are to be checked for integrity by either continuity check or
SWR inspection whichever is applicable. The antennas that are to be checked by
continuity are as follows:
P/N Description
CI-420-220 #1 GPS Antenna
CI-420-420 #2 GPS/XM Antenna (Used with optional GDL-
69)
S67-2002 (2x) #1 & #2 Radar Altimeter Antennas
CI-105-6 Transponder Antenna
CI-105-6 DME Antenna
The continuity inspections are to be complied with using a calibrated multimeter

with 0.1 ohm resolution. The radios are not installed and the antennas are
disconnected for these checks. The center conductor and shield should have
less than 1.0 ohm resistance, (less the return wire resistance), from source radio
to destination antenna. This should include all intermediate disconnects. The
center conductor should then be checked for resistance to the shield at either
end and register infinite resistance. Any faults found should be repaired before
proceeding further. An alternate method would be to connect a 50 ohm load at
the antenna end and then comply with a SWR test with a better than 98%
efficiency.
The antennas that are to be checked by SWR are as follows:
P/N Description Frequency

21-4M #1 Com Antenna 118 - 137 MHz
CI-122 #2 Com Antenna 118 - 137 MHz
108 - 118 MHz and
DMN48-1 or CI-205-3 Nav Antenna
325-350 MHz
CI-118-10 Marker Antenna 75 Mhz
The SWR inspections are complied with by using a SWR tester in the specific
frequency range. In utilizing this equipment the meter is set to readout as an
efficiency level and the antennas are tested to have better than 90% efficiency
throughout their appropriate band(s). The exception to this is the Marker Antenna
which is tested and adjusted for peak of efficiency at 75 Mhz. A hole on the top
aft end of the antenna that is sealed with RTV is where the slotted adjustment

trimmer is located. Remove sealant, adjust antenna for highest possible

efficiency, (95% or better), and reseal hole with a silicon sealant or equivalent.
Any faults found should be repaired before proceeding further. Check that all
antenna connectors are installed at the completion of these tests and inspections
before proceeding.
5.0 BONDING TESTS AND INSPECTIONS
5.1 Bonding of racks and panels

Bonding of racks and panels to the airframe is complied with in accordance with

8.0 FLIGHT TESTING

Testing is to be accomplished under VFR daytime conditions under radar traffic
control. Operating under radar control will evaluate the function of the
transponder system during all phases of flight. It is highly recommended that the
pilot and test personnel be familiar with all the involved equipment and the
intended flight plan. Flight testing to be performed in accordance with AC29-2C
(Change 1), MG-1.
All equipment shall be operational and free from any objectionable EMC/EMI.
Flight testing was conducted on _______________ by the STC holder or
other FAA approved facilities.
8.1 Pre-flight
Prior to engine start a flight plan should be programmed into the GPS system to
facilitate GPS testing as well as reducing cockpit workload in flight.
8.2 Before Take-off

1. Set Barometric altitude, on ND with IPC Barometric control.
2. Conduct autopilot pre-fight tests as required by the Autopilot FMS.
8.3 After Take-off

1. After takeoff the flight should be conducted with the autopilot in accordance
with the appropriate Flight Manual Supplement. Using the autopilot is
encouraged to be able to evaluate the complete function of the installed
equipment with reference to the autopilot for all coupled modes.
2. After establishing contact with ATC radar facility. Verify that the altitude is
within tolerance and that they have positive radar contact.
8.4 Climb and Cruise
8.4.1 VOR
(i) These flight tests may be reduced if adequate antenna radiation
pattern studies have been made and these studies show the patterns to
be without significant holes (with the rotorcraft configurations used in flight,
i.e., landing gear retracted en route and extended for approach). Particular
note should be made in recognition that certain rotor RPM settings may
cause modulation of the course deviation indication (rotor modulation).
VOR performance should be checked for rotor modulation in both
approach and en route operation while varying rotor RPM throughout its
normal range.

(ii) Both airborne VOR systems should operate normally with warning flags
out of view at all headings of the rotorcraft (in level flight) throughout the
airspace within 100 NM of the VOR facility while flying above the radio line
of sight altitude to within 90 to 100 percent of the maximum altitude for
which the rotorcraft is certified.
(iii) The accuracy determination should be made such that the indicated
reciprocals agree within 2 degrees. Tests should be conducted over at
least two known points, on the ground, such that data are obtained in each
quadrant. Data should correlate with the ground calibration and in no case
should the absolute error exceed 6 degrees. Fluctuation of the course
deviation indication should not be excessive.
1. En route Reception. Fly from a VOR facility, rated for high altitude, along a
radial to a range of 100 NM. The VOR warning flag should not come into
view, nor should there be deterioration of the station identification signal.
The course width should be 20 degrees (_5 degrees tolerance, 10
degrees either side at the selected radial). If practical, perform en route
segment on a Doppler VOR station to verify the compatibility of the
airborne unit. Large errors have been found when incompatibility exists.
2. Long Range Reception. Perform a 360-degree right and a 360-degree left
turn at a bank angle of at least 10 degrees at an altitude just above radio
line of sight and at a distance of at least 100 NM from the VOR facility.
Signal dropout should not occur as evidenced by the malfunction indicator
appearance. Dropouts that are relieved by a reduction of bank angle at the
same relative heading to the station are satisfactory. The VOR
identification should be satisfactory during the left and right turns.
3. En route Station Passage. Verify that the To-From indicator correctly
changes as the rotorcraft passes through the cone of confusion above a
VOR facility. Conduct a flight to a terminal VORTAC station and verify
function and track to the station. Verify audio and Nav deviations and flags
on both Navs 1 and 2.

8.4.2 DME
1. Climb and Maximum Distance. Determine that there is no mutual

interference between the DME system and other equipment aboard the
rotorcraft. Beginning at a distance of at least 10 NM from a DME facility
and at an altitude of 2,000 feet above the DME facility, fly the rotorcraft on
a heading so that the aircraft will pass over the facility. At a distance of 5
to 10 NM beyond the DME facility, operate the rotorcraft at its normal
maximum climb attitude up to an altitude of 8,000 feet (AFL) maintaining
the aircraft on a station radial (within 5 degrees). The DME should
continue to track with no unlocks to a range of 100 NM. Record the
maximum altitude flown.
2. Long Range Reception. Perform two 360 degree turns, one to the right
and one to the left, at a bank angle of 8 to 10 degrees at least 100 NM
from the DME facility. A single turn will be sufficient if the antenna
installation is symmetrical. There should be no more than one unlock not
to exceed one search cycle (maximum 35 seconds) in any 5 miles of
radial flight.
3. Penetration. From an altitude of above 8,000 feet (AGL) perform A
let-down directly toward a ground station (DME facility) at a normal
maximum rate of descent so as to reach an altitude of 5,000 feet above
the DME facility 5 to 10 NM before reaching the DME facility. The DME
should continue to track during the maneuver with no unlocks.
4. Approach. Make a normal approach to land at a field with a DME located
on the airport. The DME should track without an unlock (station passage
excepted).
5. DME Hold. No DME Hold function on this installation.

8.4.2 GPS
1. While en route to the VORTAC station verify that the GPS systems are
tracking the flight plan as programmed in the pre-flight. The track angles and
distance to station should be nearly identical to VOR/DME, however note
that DME distance is slant range and GPS distance is geographic distance.
2. Complete a 360 degree turn to the right and one turn to the left with a 30
degree bank and note that the GPS systems continue to provide

navigational data and do not flag.

8.4.4 Communications
(i) General. Intelligible communications should be provided between the
rotorcraft and ground facilities throughout the airspace within 100 NM of an
FAA/AUTHORITY ground facility from radio line of sight altitude to the
maximum altitude for which the rotorcraft is certificated. Communication
should be provided with the rotorcraft at or above line of sight altitude in right
and left bank up to 10 degrees and on all headings.
(ii) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). With all systems operating in flight,
verify by observation that no adverse effects are present in the flight
systems.
(iii) Antenna Measurement. If satisfactory antenna measurement data are
provided, the following flight test may be reduced to checks in right and left
turns in the vicinity of the predicted bearings of worst performance. If
antenna locations are symmetrical, tests may be conducted using only one
direction of turn.
1. Long Range Reception. Starting at a distance of at least 100 NM from the
ground facility antenna, perform a right and/or left 360 degree turn at a bank
angle of at least 10 degrees. Communicate with the ground facility every 10
degrees of turn to test the intelligibility of the signals received at the ground
station and in the rotorcraft. For 100 NM, the minimum line of sight altitude
is approximately 7,000 feet.
2. Approach Configuration. With the landing gear down and with the rotorcraft
in the approach configuration (at a distance of 10 NM from the ground
station and in an idle power descent toward the station), demonstrate
intelligible communications between the rotorcraft and the ground facility.

8.4.5 Transponder
1. Climb and Distance Coverage: Beginning at a distance of at least 10 NM
from and at an altitude of 2,000 to 3,000 feet above that of the radar
facility and using a transponder code assigned by the ARTCC, fly on a
heading that will pass the rotorcraft over the facility. At a distance of 5 to
10 NM beyond the facility, operate the rotorcraft to maintain an altitude
above radio line of sight while maintaining the aircraft at a heading within 5
degrees from the radar facility to 100 NM from the radar facility.
2. Communicate with the ground radar personnel for evidence of
transponder dropout. During the flight, check the ident mode of the ATC
transponder to assure that it is performing its intended function. Determine
that the transponder system does not interfere with other systems (except
possibly the DME) aboard the rotorcraft and that other equipment (except
possibly the DME) do not interfere with the operation of the transponder
system. There should be no dropouts, that is, when there is no return for
two or more sweeps. The operation of the ATC transponder should be
verified over the station, at 25 NM, and at 100 NM.
3. Long Range Reception. Perform two 360-degree turns, one to the right
and one to the left, at bank angles of 8 to 10 degrees with the flight pattern
at least 100 NM from the radar facility. During these turns, the radar
display should be monitored and there should be no signal dropouts (two
or more sweeps).

8.4.6 MFD or VRU and Radar
1. Bearing Accuracy. Fly under conditions which allow visual identification of

a target, such as an island, a river, or a lake, at a range within 10 percent
of the maximum range of the radar. When flying toward the target, select a
course that will pass over a reference point from which the bearing to the
target is known. When flying a course from the reference point to the
target determine the error in displayed bearing to the target on all range
settings. Change heading in increments of 10 degrees and determine the
error in the displayed bearing to the target.
2. Contour Display (Iso Echo). If heavy cloud formations or rainstorms are
reported within a reasonable distance from the test base, select the
contour display mode. The radar should differentiate between heavy and
light precipitation. In the absence of the above weather conditions,
determine the effectiveness of the contour display function by switching

from normal to contour display while observing large objects of varying

brightness on the indicator. The brightest objects should become the
darkest when switching from normal to contour mode.
3. Stability. While observing a target return on the radar indicator, turn off the
stabilizing function and put the aircraft through pitch and roll movements.
Observe the blurring of the display. Turn the stabilizing mechanism on and
repeat the roll and pitch movements. Evaluate the effectiveness of the
stabilizing function in maintaining a sharp display.
4. Ground Mapping. Fly over areas containing large, easily identifiable
landmarks such as rivers, towns, islands, coastlines, etc. Compare the
form of these objects on the indicator with their actual shape as visually
observed from the cockpit.
5. Mutual Interference. Determine that no objectionable interference is
present on the radar indicator from any electrical or radio/navigational
equipment when operating, and that the radar installation does not
interfere with the operation of any of the rotorcrafts radio/navigational
systems.

8.5 Approach
8.5.1 ILS (NAV 1 and NAV2)
1. Localizer
(a) Localizer Intercept. In the approach configuration and a distance of
at least 10 NM from the localizer facility, fly toward the localizer front
course, inbound, at an angle of at least 50 degrees. Perform this
maneuver from both left and right of the localizer beam. No flags
should appear during the time the deviation indicator moves from full
deflection to on course. If the total antenna pattern has not been
shown by ground checks or by VOR flight evaluation to be adequate,
additional intercepts should be made.
(b) Localizer Tracking. While flying the localizer inbound and not more
than 5 miles before reaching the outer marker, change the heading of
the rotorcraft to obtain full needle deflection. Then fly the rotorcraft to
establish localizer on course operation. The localizer deviation
indicators should direct the rotorcraft to the localizer on course.
Perform this maneuver with both a left and a right needle deflection.
Continue tracking the localizer until over the transmitter. At least three
acceptable front course and back course flights should be conducted
to 200 feet or less above threshold.

2. Glide Slope
(a) Flight Test. The signal input to the receiver should be of sufficient
strength to keep the warning flags out of view at all distances to 10
NM from the facility. This performance should be demonstrated at all
aircraft headings from 30 degrees left to 30 degrees right of the
localizer course. The deviation indicator should properly direct the
aircraft back to path when the aircraft is above or below path.
Interference with the navigation operation should not occur with all
rotorcraft equipment operating and all pulse equipment transmitting.
There should be no interference with other equipment as a result of
glide slope operation.
(b) Glide Slope Intercept. While flying the localizer course inbound in
level flight, intercept the glide slope below path at least 10 NM from
the station. Observe the glide slope deviation indicator for proper
crossover as the aircraft flies through the glide path. There should be
no flags from the time the needle leaves the full scale fly-up position
until it reaches the full scale fly-down position.
(c) Glide Slope Tracking. While tracking the glide slope, maneuver the
aircraft through normal pitch and roll attitudes. The glide slope
deviation indicator should show proper operation with no flags. At least
three acceptable approaches to 200 feet or less above threshold
should be conducted.
(d) Interference. With all rotorcraft electrical equipment operating and
all pulse equipment transmitting, determine that there is no
interference with the glide slope operation (some interference from the
VHF may be acceptable), and that the glide slope system does not
interfere with other equipment.
(e) Glide slope performance should be checked for rotor modulation
during the approach while varying rotor RPM throughout its normal
range.
3. Marker Beacon
(a) The marker beacon annunciator light should be illuminated for a period
of time representing 2,000 to 3,000 feet distance when flying at an
altitude of 1,000 feet as it passes over a marker beacon (see table
below).
Altitude = 1,000 feet (AGL)
Ground Speed Light Time (Seconds)
Knots 2,000 feet 3,000 feet
90 13 20
110 11 16
130 9 14

150 8 12
(b) The audio signal should be of adequate strength and sufficiently free
from interference to provide positive identification.
(c) Technical: Approach the markers at a ground speed of 130 knots and
at an altitude of 1,000 feet above ground level. While passing over the
outer and middle markers with the localizer deviation indicator
centered, the annunciators should be illuminated for a period of 9 to 14
seconds. Check for acceptable intensity of the indicator lights in bright
sunlight and at night. For slower rotorcraft, the interval should be
proportionately longer.
