equipment.  It is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure the correct 
configuration and use of the external equipment.  The SN3500 is

subject to all legal and operational limitations of the equipment 
supplying data to it.  Always refer to your approved Aircraft Flight 
Manual Supplement for operation and limitations on the use of 
installed equipment.  

Note:  Because aircraft vary in their installed equipment, it is 
important to note that what is displayed on the SN3500 may vary 
depending on the presence or absence of equipment.   

Please keep in mind that it is required by Federal Aviation 
Regulations to have on board current charts appropriate to the 
flight.  The moving map on the SN3500 does not fulfill this 
requirement.  A current internal database is not required but is 
recommended.  The internal database supplies supplemental data 
only (such as nearest airports, navaids and airspace).  Flight plan 
waypoints and IFR approaches are supplied to the SN3500 by the 
associated IFR approved GPS receiver.  Supplemental data is 
intended for positional awareness only and should not be used for 
primary navigation.   

Approvals 

The FAA has approved the SN3500 under the following TSO:   

 

TSO-C113 AMED (Airborne Multipurpose Electronic 
Displays) 

The following certification levels also apply to this product: 

 

Environmental Certification Level:  DO-160-D 

 

Software Certification Level:  DO-178B level C 

Installation of the SN3500 EHSI in a type-certificated aircraft must 
be performed in accordance with the Sandel SN3500 EHSI 
Installation Manual, document number 82005-IM applicable revision. 

Conventions Used in This Manual 

The name of a button is placed within square brackets when the 
button is described in text.  For example, “…press the [VUE] 
selection button to …” 

This manual uses terms, which should be familiar to aviation-
minded readers, such as “selected radial” and “magnetic heading”.  
Terms, which are specific to the SN3500, will be placed in the 
glossary.
