INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT AND FUNCTIONAL CHECK 

2.0

 

Installation Procedure 

2.1

The installation of the SCc AoA System requires installing the Lift Transducer on the leading 
edge of the wing, installing the Indexer Computer, and system wiring. After installation, both 
a ground functional and a flight check are performed. The data from the flight check is to be 
recorded in Appendix B.  If needed, Appendix C provides a guide for adjustment  of the Lift 
Transducer mounting plate on the wing to adjust the results obtained from the flight test data.  

 

Lift Transducer Wing Position 

2.2

The following is a procedure for finding the initial location for the mounting of the Lift 
Transducer. 

The installation of the SCc Lift Transducer should typically be made on the wing opposite to 
the  existing  stall warning device, at the same or close  to the  same  spanwise  position.  This 
location  may  be varied in order  to  facilitate the ease of installation  access  of the wing 
components through an existing wing panel access.  

 

The SCc  System  cannot  be used as a replacement for or 
modification of an existing FAA approved Stall Warning System. 

NOTE 

 

The location should be clear of any internal interference from ribs and other aircraft structure. 
Be sure to note locations of pitot lines, wiring, fuel tanks, fuel lines, and other aircraft 
hardware to avoid any interference.  

The Lift Transducer is to be  mounted  initially  at 1% chord. Use the method described in 
Appendix A to determine the proper location for mounting the Lift Transducer. Place a mark 
on the wing at this location. This will be the center of the cutout for the Lift Transducer 
Doubler. 

 

Doubler Installation 

2.3

Using the Doubler  provided  as a template,  contour  and temporarily tape the  Doubler  to the 
leading edge of the wing. Align the center of the cutout of the Doubler with the leading edge 
1% chord mark. Using a fine-tipped marker, trace the outline of the Doubler cutout so as to 
mark the area of aircraft skin that is to  be removed from  the wing’s  leading edge for the 
installation of the Lift Transducer.  

Remove the Doubler and reserve it for installation inside the wing. 

Cut through the wing, as outlined by the Doubler cutout, to create the Lift Transducer 
mounting hole.  

Through a nearby access panel, insert the Doubler into the wing and align it with the leading 
edge wing hole. Bend the Doubler to match the wing contour at this position.  Rivet the 
Doubler  to  the inside wing surface using  appropriate rivets, in  accordance with AC 43-13. 
Ensure that sufficient space is left for rivnut installation. 

Place the Lift Transducer in the hole, forming the Mounting Plate to the contour of the leading 
edge.  As with  the  Doubler, the Lift Transducer  Mounting Plate  has been contoured to the 
approximate curvature of the wing’s  leading edge. Final adjustments  to the Lift Transducer 
mounting plate will be made during the installation on the wing.
