Using the External Antenna
Apex Flight Operations provides an external antenna with the Falcon 360-P system. There are two
types of external antenna available; an interior antenna and an exterior antenna:
Interior Antenna
The interior antenna provides an option of mounting just the antenna on the glareshield, whilst
positioning the Falcon unit somewhere else in the aircraft. This is typically used where there is
limited space on the glareshield, or where the client would prefer to have the Falcon mounted
elsewhere in the cabin. The cable provided with the interior antenna should be connected to the
external antenna connection point on the Falcon and routed carefully so as to prevent snagging or
interference with flight controls and equipment.
Exterior Antenna
The exterior antenna allows clients to maximize the reception capabilities of the Falcon; it is
mounted outside the aircraft body, and requires modification approval from your civil aviation
authority. The cable provided with the exterior antenna should be connected to the external
antenna connection point on the Falcon – please follow the separate installation instructions for the
exterior antenna.
Alert Function
The Falcon features an Alert function, which gives the aircrew a quick and reliable means of
notifying ground operations of an emergency situation on board the aircraft. This Alert function can
be triggered both from the Falcon itself, as well as via IndigoTrack Crew. To trigger the Alert on the
Falcon, press and hold the Alert button for at least 2 seconds – to trigger the Alert via IndigoTrack
Crew, please refer to the IndigoTrack Crew User Guide.
When triggered, the Alert indicator on the Falcon will flash red, and if the unit has been configured
with a normal reporting interval greater than 30 seconds, this will also change so that the Falcon
reports positions every 30 seconds.
To cancel an Alert, hold the Alert indicator again for at least 2 seconds.

WARNING: Temperatures on the glareshield can reach
excessive levels when the aircraft is on the ground –
please take the necessary steps to prevent the surface
temperature of the Falcon exceeding 80°C (176°F) as
damage to the unit can occur above this temperature.
