Portable vs. Fixed Installation
The Blue Sky Network D1000(A) comes in two different configurations.
1. Portable: The portable configuration allows users to easily bring the D1000(A)
unit on and off an aircraft. The unit can be carried in the carrying sack
provided. A quick disconnect cable is also provided for easy antenna cable
attachment and detachment. In the portable configuration the Control Unit is
fitted into the Modem Unit.
2. Fixed: In a fixed installation the D1000(A) is mounted permanently into the
aircraft. The Modem Unit is typically mounted in an avionics bay and the
Control Unit, which is a standard ½ ATI size, can be mounted in the cockpit
panel. A wire harness between the Modem and Control Unit must be build by
the installer. The fixed install configuration comes with all required
connectors.
In both configurations the D1000(A) should get power from the main aircraft power
bus. The battery included in the unit is for EMERGENCY USE ONLY. The picture
below shows the D1000(A) in a Fixed Installation configuration.
FAA Certification Issue
For a fixed installation where the control unit is installed in the aircraft cockpit, use of
the RJ45 data port has not been evaluated by the FAA for use in flight.
