Installation Manual
SECTION 2
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The following section contains an overview of the steps required for the installation of the KTX2
and its related components. This section includes requirements for selection of proper locations
in the aircraft as well as requirements for supporting structure, mechanical alignment, and
electrical wiring. Any restrictions related to nearby equipment and requirements are also
specified herein.
Always follow acceptable avionics installation practices as set forth in FAA Advisory Circulars
(AC) 43.13-1B, 43.13-2B, or later revisions of these documents.
2.2 PRE-INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
2.2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the unit and note any damage to shipping containers or equipment. Visually
inspect each component for evidence of damage. Compare the equipment received with that
noted on the packing list. Report immediately any missing items or evidence of damage to the
carrier making the delivery. To justify a claim, retain the original shipping container and all
packing materials.
Every effort should be made to retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original
containers are not available, a separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large
enough to accommodate sufficient packing material to prevent movement.
2.2.2 Installation Planning
A successful installation starts with careful planning, including determination of mounting
locations for the KTX2, cable routing, ventilation, ease of access and other required modifications.
After choosing a mounting location:
Consider the structural integrity of the desired installation location in accordance with AC 43.13-
2B, Chapter 1.
Complete a weight and balance computation before beginning the installation.
An electrical load analysis (ELA) must be completed on the aircraft both prior to installation and
after the installation has been completed to verify that the aircraft electrical system is capable of
supporting the KTX2. Table 1-4 and Table 1-6 specify the power requirements for the equipment
and MIL – E – 7016F and the Aircraft Manufacturer can provide guidance on ELA methods and
maximum permissible loads. The purpose of the ELA is to show compliance with 14 CFR
23.1351.
Follow the installation procedures in this installation manual as they are presented for a
successful installation. Please familiarize yourself with this manual in its entirety before
beginning the procedure.
