6. Aircraft installation
The VT-01 provides maximum levels of flexibility. Depending on the space in your cockpit you can
have a single-block or two-block equipment installation. The two-block system requires a mounting
kit/cradle (PN # VT-0103-1-()-() ) to carry the central unit. It allows a quick installation and removal of
the complete central unit without using tools. If each aircraft in a fleet carries a steering unit and a
mounting cradle, the central unit can be interchanged between all aircraft. All aircraft related data is
stored in the steering unit, which always remains in an aircraft.
General: All installation work shall be performed in accordance with the
acceptable methods, techniques and practices for aircraft alterations,
inspections and repair, shown in FAA documents AC 43.13-1B and AC 43.13-
2A (see www.faa.gov to obtain this documents free of charge in digital form).
6.1. Installation VT-01 - single-block
To install as a single-block system, the following steps need to be performed:
6.1.1. Assembling the steering unit and central unit:
Before attaching the steering unit to the central unit, Check if the pressure
connector, the steering unit plug and the central unit plug are clean. If not,
remove all foreign bodies from the parts.
Replace the Quicklock
terminals in the back of the
steering unit with screws (4-
40), if installed.
