3.6.5.1 KSD 100EXP – Field of View Considerations
The KSD 100EXP PFD must be installed in the instrument panel of the airplane and shall be mounted in
place of the six primary instruments. The KSD 100EXP must be installed in a location where the pilot is
able to reach and view the screen. The location shall protect the KSD 100EXP display from glare and
reflections that might interfere with the pilot’s vision. The location must allow for the KSD 100EXP display
to be viewed without being obstructed by the glareshield or the control column and yoke.
The following paragraphs provide specific mounting requirements based on FAA guidance and are
recommended for the xVue Touch System installation.
The primary field of view is measured in both the horizontal and vertical fields as illustrated in Figure 3-3
(reference AC 23.1311-1C, Section 15) in accordance with 14 CFR Part 23.1321(a). The viewing angles are
from the pilot’s perspective (eye reference point) looking at the display.
Figure 3-3 KSD 100EXP Primary Field of View
It is the responsibility of the avionics installer to determine that the required airplane viewing envelope is
within this specified primary field of view.
The placement of the KSD 100EXP is recommended per AC 23.1311-1C to be within 2 inches of the pilot
NOTE
THE KSD 100EXP MUST BE INSTALLED PER 14 CFR 23.1321(a). IF CROSS-COCKPIT
OPERATION IS DESIRED, THE POSITION OR ORIENTATION OF THE KSD 100EXP SHOULD BE
AS SUCH TO PUT THE CROSS-COCKPIT POSITION WITHIN THE 14 CFR 23.1321(a) FIELD OF
VIEW WINDOW.
