Preliminary Revision 1
2 INSTALLATION
OVERVIEW
2.1 Introduction
This section provides hardware equipment information for installing the GWX 68, related hardware, and
antennas. Installation of the GWX 68 should follow the aircraft TC or STC requirements. Cabling is
fabricated by the installing agency to fit each particular aircraft. The final installation must meet the
requirements of FAA AC 43.13-1B and AC 43.13-2A.
2.2 Installation

2.3 Installation
Considerations
Fabrication of a wiring harness is required. Sound mechanical and electrical methods and practices are
required for installation of the GWX 68.
2.3.1 Antenna
Considerations
Antenna installations on pressurized cabin aircraft require FAA approved installation design and
engineering substantiation data whenever such antenna installations incorporate alteration (penetration) of
the cabin pressure vessel by connector holes and/or mounting arrangements. For needed engineering
support pertaining to the design and approval of such pressurized aircraft antenna installations, it is
recommended that the installer proceed according to any of the following listed alternatives:
1.
Obtain approved antenna installation design data from the aircraft manufacturer.
2.
Obtain an FAA approved STC, pertaining to, and valid for the antenna installation.
3.
Contact the FAA Aircraft Certification Office in the appropriate Region and request identification
of FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) who are authorized to prepare and
approve the required antenna installation engineering data.
4.
Obtain FAA Advisory Circular AC-183C and identify a DER from the roster of individuals in it.
5.
Contact an aviation industry organization such as the Aircraft Electronics Association for
assistance.
