Figure 1-5 G5 Air Hose Fitting Locations
Use appropriate air hoses and fittings to connect the pitot and static lines to the
unit. Avoid sharp bends in the tubing and attempt to route hoses away from aircraft
control cables. The G5 should not be at the low point of the pneumatic plumbing lines
to avoid moisture or debris collecting at or near the unit. Ensure that no deformations
of the airframe surface have been made that would affect the relationship between
static air pressure and true ambient static air pressure for any flight condition. Refer
to part 43, Appendix E for approved practices while installing hoses and connections.
NOTE:
A G5 installed as a standalone unit may optionally be configured to disable
its internal air data sensors. In this case, no connection to the aircraft's pitot/static
system is required. If not connected, the pitot/static fittings on the G5 should be
covered with dust caps. A G5 with air data disabled does not support autopilot
functionality.
