AlliedSignal’s Bendix/King RDR 2000 Vertical Profile Radar system is installed as standard equipment.
It consists of the IN-182A radar display indicator in the center of the instrument panel and the ART 2000
antenna transceiver, AA2010H antenna array, and CM 2000 configuration module mounted in a teardrop
shaped pod hung from the right wing at the joint between the outboard and center wing sections.
(See Figure 1.)
NOTE: In S/N’s 4636375 and up , the IN-182A display is replaced by the Avidyne Entegra MFD. See
34-20-00, Avidyne Entegra EFIS, Maintenance, Multifunction Display (MFD), for setup and
calibration.
The antenna transceiver and antenna array are assembled as a single unit and are mounted to the
forward side of the bulkhead inside the radar pod. The configuration module is separately mounted to the
pod bulkhead.
The antenna transceiver and array assembly are covered by a removable radome secured to the
circumference of the pod bulkhead with screws.
A door in the right rear of the pod provides access to the void aft of the bulkhead, which can be used for
miscellaneous lightweight storage, such as the ground protection equipment.
