Brief Description: Finalized Antenna Locations And Wireing Runs
|
|
After being reviewed by Advanced Flight Systems, I made some changes to antenna positions (Transponder, ADS-B and COM antennas were moved slightly forward for further ADAHRS separation), as well as moving a couple remote component locations. I also added the ADAHRS to the side view so its separation from antennas can be seen. The old vertical view did make it appear the GPS was next to the ADAHRS.
The ADAHRS is now >2 ft from the GPS and COM antennas, with even more separation from the ELT, Transponder and ADS-B antennas. The ADAHRS will be in the tail cone very close to the longitudinal axis, slightly aft of the expected CG.
Transponder and ADS-B are on the same side now, allowing the tri-segment cable for the Transponder, ADS-B and GPS to be a uniform length for all three segments.
The remote COM transceiver was moved to under the pilot seat, mirroring the Transponder position, both shortening the COM cable, and allowing the two COM cable segments to match the Transponder/ADS-B/GPS cable.
The pilot headset cables are on the left now, with the passenger headset cables on the right. This allows them to be the same lengths, making mostly mirrored runs down each side.
The cable lengths listed in the text on the color-coded cable run diagram have been adjusted accordingly for the new runs.
Note the two Transponder and ADS-B blade antennas are both BETWEEN the main landing gear legs, even though the simple diagram makes it appear the blade antenna is on the outside of the gear leg(s).
Today Kyle from AFS approved all antenna locations and wiring harness lengths and physical runs, and will queue up the harness builds and final system bench testing of the remainder of my panel-less advanced panel build.
