GPS Antenna Installation
Please, consider mounting the GPS antenna using the following rec-
ommendations:
Find a good spot in a cabin where the antenna is able to see
blue sky during most of the aircraft movement. Such a good
spot can be usually found on the top of the instrument panel
cover, just below the canopy.
Mounting surface should be flat, clean and rigid.
Avoid close proximity to any transmitting antennas like radio
stations, transponders or any other active GPS antennas (GPS
antennas may interfere each other).
Antenna must not be covered or obstructed by metals (met-
als sheets, rods) or any other conductive material (like carbon
fibers).
The triangle/GPS text must point upwards – to the sky. For
the installation use self-adhesive tape and fix the antenna on a
rigid and clean surface.
The supplied antenna is not intended to be installed on the
aircraft exterior.
If you need to install the antenna on the
external surface, search a suitable antenna in your local avionics
shop. Any 3.3 V active antenna with SMA male connector can
be used.
