3.4 Cabling and Wiring Considerations
Wiring should be installed in accordance with AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11. For dual GTR/GNC unit
installations, care should be taken to ensure separation between wires of redundant systems to reduce the
possibility of loss of navigation due to a single event. When wire separation cannot be achieved, the
following issues should be addressed:.
It should not be possible for a cable harness to be exposed to wire chafing in a manner that both
units fail simultaneously;
The cable harness should not be located near flight control cables and controls, high voltage lines
or fuel lines;
The cable harness should be located in a protected area of the aircraft (e.g., isolated from engine
rotor burst); and
Do not route cable near high voltage sources.
NOTE
Pigtail lengths should be less than 3.0". Wiring which is required to be shielded must be
shielded per appendix D.
See section 4.4.2 and section 4.5 for connector and tooling information.
See section 4.6 for recommended coax cable.
See appendix D for the appropriate wiring connections to assemble the wiring connector.
Once the cable assemblies have been made, attach the cable connectors to the rear connector plate. After
installing the mounting tube, attach the assembled connector plate. Route the wiring bundle as appropriate.
Use 22 or 24 AWG wire for all connections. For power and ground, use the wire gauge specified in the
interconnect drawing, then 22 AWG for the short length from the splice to the connector. Avoid sharp
bends.
3.5 Air Circulation and Cooling
The GTR/GNC unit meets all requirements without external cooling. However, as with all electronic
equipment, lower operating temperatures extend equipment life.
Units packed tightly in the avionics stack heat each other through radiation, convection, and sometimes by
direct conduction. Even a single unit operates at a much higher temperature in still air than in moving air.
The GTR/GNC has a cooling fan integrated into the chassis to draw forced-air cooling through the unit.
There are inlets along the right side of the GTR/GNC chassis that allow air to flow through the unit. Ensure
that there are no obstructions to the air inlets or fan exhausts. Air should be able to freely flow from the
chassis inlets to the fan outlet on the rear of the unit.
3.6 Compass Safe Distance
After reconfiguring the avionics in the cockpit panel, if the GTR/GNC unit is mounted less than twelve
inches from the compass, recalibrate the compass and make the necessary changes for noting correction
data.
