PREPARATION
The FlightHawk RF Test Set has been designed with a user friendly GUI
“Graphical User Interface” which provides an intuitive understanding of
the man/machine interaction thereby greatly simplifying the learning
experience. However, we still STRONGLY RECOMMEND that the user
becomes familiar with the FlightHawk-AV operations and menu
structure before connecting it to an aircraft system and performing any
tests. The test procedures are described in place of any specifications by
the airframe manufacturer. Particular attention should be addressed to
the preliminary procedures so as to avoid erroneous test results.
WARNING: Observe aircraft and equipment servicing procedures as well
as safety precautions detailed in the AMM “Aircraft Maintenance
Manual”, AWDM “Aircraft Wiring Diagram Manual”, CMM “Component
Maintenance Manual” and procedures and practices stated in local
orders.
Tools/Equipment:
FlightHawk RF Aviation & Cable Analyzer – Test Kit, includes
FlightHawk AV and Adaptor Kit used to
adapt the FlightHawk-
AV to most common connectors, anywhere on the airplane.
