Section Two—Installation Instructions
M3 GPS INSTALLATION MANUAL Revision D PAGE 27
and acceptance of a Northstar M3 GPS installation. Installers seeking air-
worthiness and operational approval must consider the following:
•
Approvals shall be based upon compliance with Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) 21.33, 21.35, 23.1301, 23.1309, 23.1322,
23.1351, and 23.1431 appropriate for small airplanes or equivalent
rules specific to make, model, and type, as well as other relevant
FARs, Advisory Circulars, and FAA policy guidance.
•
Advisory Circular 20-138,
Airworthiness Approval of Global Posi-
tioning System (GPS) Navigation Equipment for use as a VFR and
IFR Supplemental Navigation System , may be used as guidance for
obtaining “follow-on” field approvals for using GPS navigation under
VFR and IFR. Adherence to paragraphs 7.c.(2) for VFR or 8.c.(2) for
IFR and Appendix 1 of this AC should be followed to ensure that
every requirement is satisfied. Reference to the above paragraphs
must be made in the application for Field Approval on an FAA Form
337. See Appendix D for sample FAA Form 337 language.
•
For IFR-approved installations, an airplane flight manual supplement
will be required to reflect the specific characteristics of the aircraft
interface, if it’s considered to be complex (for example, multiple nav-
igation source switching between HSI or CDI to flight director and/or
autopilot system). The flight manual supplement should contain any
pertinent limitations, emergency and abnormal procedures, normal
operating procedures, and performance changes. A copy of the
FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for STC
SA00464NY is in Appendix C.
•
Advisory Circular 20-138 outlines the provisions that permit an FAA
inspector to evaluate the installation, determine the adequacy of the
descriptive data that was prepared for the alteration, and approve the
flight manual supplement. Many FAA inspectors are qualified to per-
form this function, and will accept the responsibility; some FAA
inspectors are not qualified. To determine qualifications, check with
your local General Aviation or Flight Standards District Office.
•
For VFR installations, a flight manual supplement probably won’t be
required unless complex characteristics like multi-navigation system
switching are incorporated. A placard stating
GPS NOT APPROVED
FOR IFR
must be positioned within immediate view by the flight crew.
•
If approval has been obtained only for Class A2, a placard stating
GPS NOT APPROVED FOR APPROACHES
must be installed.
