4 Installation Planning
This section contains information for installing and wiring the MFD. All installation procedures should
follow the acceptable practices, methods, and techniques of avionics installations as described in FAA
Advisory Circulars. Use appropriate appendices for guidance with MFD dimensions and panel cutout
requirements.
Installations not identified in applicable STCs may require additional substantiation. See Appendix C:
STC Permissions , on page 85 for information pertaining to STCs. Referring to an STC may assist in
securing installation approval.
4.1 Location and Viewing Angle
The EX500/EX600 is designed for panel mounting using the mounting tray supplied with the unit
installation kit. Locate the MFD in a position on the panel where the pilot can easily reach the knobs
and controls to operate and view it from the proper viewing angle.
4.2 TSO-C157 Requirements
The FIS-B (Flight Information Services-Broadcast) equipment installer needs to assess FIS-B
equipment integration with other avionics and airborne applications, such as integration of FIS-B
display products with display of terrain, proximate aircraft traffic information, flight plan overlays,
moving map displays, etc.
Manufacturers, installers, and applicants must assess identification of display integration issues, and
their potential impact upon FIS-B equipment design and developmental assurance, during equipment
installation. For example, FIS-B equipment may share common avionics display resources hosting
multiple applications. Evaluate here, the installation for hazards contributed by FIS-B equipment
malfunction that may cause loss or malfunction of other aircraft applications.
Limited display resource computing capability will require the installer to review display resource
priority schemes to ensure FIS-B equipment does not preclude, corrupt, or delay display of
applications necessary for the continued safe flight of the aircraft. Installers must assess the
incompatible use of common color coding philosophies and symbology.
4.3 Class III Aircraft Installations
➥
When installed in a Class III aircraft, the EX500 and EX600 STCs require an independent lightning
detection and display system complying with TSO-C110a to be installed and operational for flights in
IMC. Additionally, an FAA-approved Flight Manual Supplement is required and must be carried
aboard the aircraft during all flights.
