examples being out of date.
6.2 Mounting, Wiring, and Power Checks
Verify all wire harnesses are properly secured and shields are connected to the shield blocks of the
connectors. Check the movement of the flight and engine controls to verify there is no interference. Prior
to powering up the G5 and supporting equipment, the wire harnesses must be checked for proper
connections to the aircraft systems and other avionics equipment. Point to point continuity must be
checked on all wiring to expose any faults such as shorting to ground. Any faults or discrepancies must
be corrected before proceeding.
After accomplishing a continuity check, perform power and ground checks. Remove power from the
aircraft upon completion of the wire harness checkout.
The G5 and supporting equipment can be installed after completion of the continuity and power checks.
6.3 Post-Installation Checkout Procedures
The following procedures will verify the proper operation of the G5 and its intended function as an
attitude indicator or DG/HSI. The G5 can be installed in several different configurations that affect the
following testing. If a section of testing is not supported by the installed configuration disregard that
testing. It is assumed that the person performing these checks is familiar with the aircraft, has a working
knowledge of typical avionics systems, and has experience using the test equipment defined in this
section.
