Description 400W Series Master Data List 400W Series Instructions for Continued Airworthiness 400W Series Upgrade Installation Manual 400W Series Installation Manual 400W Series Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS)
ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS 1. The accomplishment instructions consist of 4 basic steps for ease of installation. They are as follows: "
The installation of the Antenna Wedge Block and the removal of the optional Orbcomm Weather System or XM Antenna (Step 2).
"
The Avidyne EXP5000 Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi-Function Display (MFD) upgrade to Release 7 Software (Step 3).
"
The Garmin GNS 430 (non-WAAS) upgrade to the Garmin GNS 430W (WAAS) (Step 4).
"
The operational checkout and airplane Return To Service procedures (Step 5).
These steps can be performed at different times and at different facilities, but must be accomplished in sequence. Each step can be signed off as having complied with that specific step per this Modification Kit. However, the Modification Kit cannot be signed off as having been complied with, until all steps have been accomplished in accordance with this Modification Kit. 2. Third Party Work and Avionics Parts Requirement A. This Modification Kit is intended to be accomplished by a Cessna Authorized Service Station. Depending on the capabilities of the individual Service Station performing this modification, other appropriately rated avionics facilities may need to be used for the requirements to upgrade, configure, or test the Avidyne Entegra and the Garmin GNS 430 GPS avionics equipment. The Cessna Service Station may coordinate with authorized Garmin and Avidyne Avionics Service Centers to perform the equipment upgrades. NOTE: The return of the PFD to the Avidyne factory must be scheduled and coordinated through an authorized Avidyne Service Center in advance. Contact Avidyne Product Support at Telephone (888) 723-7592, or Fax (781) 402-7599 for more information. There may be a substantial lead time for scheduling this upgrade and the turn around time required for Avidyne to perform the Release 7 upgrades. There may be a fee from Avidyne to perform this upgrade. Plan accordingly. NOTE: Both of the Garmin GNS 430 GPS Navigator units need to be replaced with the Model GNS 430W WAAS GPS Navigation units. The upgrades to the new GNS 430W WAAS GPS Navigation units must be accomplished through a Garmin Authorized Service Center. The original units that are installed in the airplane will be sent to Garmin for a core credit and Garmin will replace them with two
MK400-34-01 March 9, 2009
Page 6
GNS 430W GPS WAAS Navigator units. Contact a Garmin authorized Service Center to schedule and pre-arrange the replacement of the units. Contact Garmin at Telephone (800) 800-1020, or Fax (913) 397-8282 for additional information. Both GPS units must be upgraded so that all GPS equipment is at the same hardware and software levels. There will be a fee from Garmin to upgrade each of the units to GNS 430W models. 3. Existing Orbcomm and XM Weather System Installations. A. Determine if the optional Orbcomm Weather System or XM antennas are installed on the airplane. B. The Service Station should advise the owner of the following information before work begins: If the owner chooses to install the Garmin GNS 430W WAAS upgrades, the existing optional Orbcomm or XM antennas mounted on top of the fuselage will be removed from the airplane. The Orbcomm functionality on the Avidyne MFD will be turned off. If the XM Weather system is installed, all XM functionality will remain operational when the installation is completed, except that the existing XM antenna (either under the glare shield or on top of the fuselage) will be replaced with a combined GPS-WAAS / XM Antenna, located on the antenna shelf. The owner should consider the benefits of having the Garmin WAAS upgrades, compared to the alternative of keeping the Orbcomm system. C. Cessna Service Letter SL-06-003 provided for the relocation of the XM antenna from underneath the glare shield to the top of the fuselage, in place of the Orbcomm antenna. If the XM antenna has been located on top of the fuselage per SL-06-003, then the XM antenna will be removed from the fuselage top and replaced with the new GPS-WAAS 2 / XM Antenna located on the antenna shelf. D. If the airplane does not already have XM Weather installed, an XM Weather Receiver can be installed per Cessna Service Letter SL-04-008, using the Garmin GA 37 GPS-WAAS / XM Antenna as instructed in this document, in place of the antenna called out in SL-04-008. 4. Chart and NavData Subscriptions: Inform the owner of the airplane that the Jeppesen NavData databases must be updated to the current revision following upgrade of the MFD. If the owner has a subscription to Jeppesen CMax™ Chart Data, inform the owner that the Jeppesen Chart Data may also need to be reloaded to the MFD once the upgrades are completed. The same applies for the both the Garmin GNS430W units as well. It is the owner’s responsibility to update the databases. For more information about these databases, contact Jeppesen, Avidyne, or Garmin. The airplane should not be flown under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) unless the chart and database cycles are current in the GNS430W units and on the MFD. NOTE: For the Garmin GNS430W WAAS units, the owner must contact Jeppesen to convert their Jeppesen NavData subscription to a WAAS NavData subscription. The database formats for the WAAS approved GNS430W units are different from the non-WAAS GNS430 databases.

(4) Disconnect the BNC connector at the GPS connector position on the back of the GNS 430 # 1 radio tray. Pull the GPS 1 coax cable out of the wire bundles, and discard the GPS 1 coax cable. NOTE: The GPS 1 radio tray is in the top position above the throttle controls and the GPS 2 radio tray is located below the throttle controls. (5) Do not remove the GPS 2 coax cable. Remove and discard the BNC connector at the antenna end of the GPS 2 coax cable, as close to the connector as possible. NOTE: Use an ohm meter first to verify that the GPS 2 coax cable is actually going to the GPS 2 radio tray. (6) Remove and discard the two Garmin GA 56 GPS antennas from the antenna shelf. C. (Figure 22.) (For airplanes equipped with the optional Orbcomm Weather System only). Remove the Orbcomm Antenna and coax cable as follows: (1) Disconnect the Orbcomm coax cable at the antenna end, located on the inside of the upper fuselage at approximately FS 190.0. (2) Remove the tie wraps securing the Orbcomm coax cable in place and removes this coax cable all the way back to the MFD. Remove and discard the Orbcomm coax cable. (3) Remove the Orbcomm antenna. Do not discard the antenna at this time. (4) Carefully remove the gasket material from the antenna and the skin of the airplane. Care should be taken not to damage the lightning protection mesh on the fuselage. Remove all old RTV where the antenna was located. D. (Figures 22, 23, and 24.) Remove the XM antenna as follows: NOTE: The existing XM antenna (if installed) may be mounted either underneath the glare shield (behind the MFD) or on top of the fuselage above the baggage compartment, at approximately FS 190.0. (1) Locate the antenna. (2) Disconnect the XM coax cable from the antenna and label the cable as ‘XM’. (3) If the XM antenna was mounted underneath the glare shield, remove the antenna, the mounting brackets, and all the hardware. Do not remove the long bracket attached to the instrument panel. (4) If the XM antenna was mounted on the top of the fuselage above the baggage compartment, carefully remove the antenna and gasket material from the skin of the airplane. Do not damage the lightning protection mesh on the fuselage. (5) Remove and discard the SMA connector from the antenna end of the XM coax cable. (6) Remove the XM coax cable from the wire bundle between the XM antenna and the floor of the avionics bay in the baggage compartment area. Leave the XM coax cable connected to
MK400-34-01 March 9, 2009
Page 10
the XM receiver in the avionics bay. The XM coax cable will later be rerouted to the aft of the airplane. E. (Figures 5 and 6.) Modify the Antenna Shelf as follows: (1) (Figure 6.) Create a template out of a piece of aluminum sheet as shown. NOTE: The template will be used as the guide for drilling the new holes in the antenna shelf. The elongated hole shown in Figure 6 will not be elongated in the drill template. See note on Figure 6. NOTE: Make sure that holes in the drill template match the hole locations on the GA 37 Antenna. (2) (Figures 5 and 6.) Put the drill template on the antenna shelf, over the original left (pilot) side GA56 antenna mount location. Position the drill template to best align the aft mounting holes as closely as possible. (3) (Figure 5 and 6.) Temporarily tape the drill template in place at the best location on the antenna shelf. NOTE: Due to the restricted access at the antenna shelf, a compact right angle drill head, or equivalent may be necessary to drill the holes on the antenna shelf. (4) Using the drill template, drill the four mounting holes using a 0.221 inch diameter drill bit. (5) Using the drill template, drill the two large holes for the two coax connectors using a 0.625 inch diameter drill bit. Alternatively, these two large holes may be made using a small tungsten carbide rotary grinding tool attached to a rotary type hand-held tool, or equivalent. (6) Remove the drill template. (7) (Figure 6.) After the two holes have been drilled, the 0.625 inch diameter hole on the forward end of the hole pattern must be blended with the original aft large hole on the shelf. Using a marking pen, draw lines connecting the two holes as shown. (8) (Figure 6.) Use a rotary type hand-held or equivalent tool and carefully remove the material along the lines between the new and original large holes. (9) Vacuum out any debris from the antenna shelf and the surrounding area, including the belly of the airplane. F. (Figures 7 and 8.) Mount the GA 37 antenna and re-route coax cable as follows: (1) (Figures 7 and 8.) Mount the GA 37 (013-00245-00) antenna on the antenna shelf as shown. NOTE: Install the GA 37 antenna so that the blue banded TNC connector is located forward when mounted. (2) (Figure 1.) Locate the XM coax cable that was previously pulled out of the wire bundle, and route this coax cable along the right side of the fuselage with the wire bundle that runs along the right elevator push tube as shown. Feed the coax cable through the same routing used by the existing GPS 2 coax cable.
MK400-34-01 March 9, 2009
Page 11
(3) Locate the antenna ends of the existing XM and GPS 2 coax cables. Cut off any excess length from the XM cable. Make sure the labels remain attached to the coax. (4) (Figures 2 and 4.) Using two 31-2373 TNC connectors, install one connector onto the antenna end of the XM coax cable, and one connector onto the antenna end of the GPS 2 coax cable. (5) (Figures 1, 2 and 4.) Connect the GPS 2 coax cable and the XM coax cable to the GA 37 Antenna. NOTE: The GPS 2 coax cable connects to the forward blue banded connector. The XM coax cable connects to the aft yellow banded connector. (6) (Figures 1 and 3.) Secure the XM and GPS 2 coax cables in place with the wire bundles along the right side of the fuselage, using TY242M tie-wraps as required. (7) Make sure the coax cables and all other wiring remains secured so they will not touch or interfere with the motion of the elevator push tube or autopilot servos that are mounted in this area. NOTE: If an XM system is not installed, make sure that the unused connector cap on the GA37 antenna is removed so it does not become FOD. G. (For airplanes equipped with the optional Orbcomm or XM antenna mounted on the fuselage exterior only). Repair the existing hole locations for the XM or Orbcomm antenna as follows: NOTE: The original hole locations that were used for the previously installed Orbcomm or XM antenna are located approximately 5 inches aft of the location for the new Garmin GA 35 antenna and the wedge block. The new WAAS antenna must be located further forward than the old Orbcomm or XM antenna, therefore the old antenna holes and footprint must be repaired before proceeding with the wedge installation and new antenna mounting. NOTE: Use plastic or similar material to cover the aft interior of the airplane before beginning the work. (1) Repair the interior side of the fuselage as follows: (a) (Figure 16.) Locate the aft overhead air conditioning bracket on the inside of the airplane, above the aft baggage compartment. With a marker, draw around the aft overhead console bracket to record its position. (b) With a plastic scraper or similar device, gently remove the aft overhead console bracket, by tapping or prying against the adhesive. (c) Use a palm sander or 90 degree rotary type tool and 80-120 grit sandpaper and remove the surface gloss of the resin on the inside of the fuselage where the mounting holes for the original antenna installation went through the fuselage. Surface prep enough area to make a patch that is approximately 4 inches by 4 inches. Sand off any excess adhesive from where the bracket was removed, but do not remove the marks made around the aft overhead console bracket. Do not sand into the glass reinforcement fibers. (d) Use Isopropyl Alcohol and a lint free cloth to thoroughly clean the interior side of the fuselage that was sanded.
MK400-34-01 March 9, 2009
Page 12
NOTE: Use the clean side of the lint free cloth for each wipe until the area is thoroughly cleaned of all contaminants. (e) (Figure 26.) Use 7781 Glass Cloth and make or shape the interior repair ply so that it will extend approximately 0.50 inch beyond the Orbcomm or XM antenna screw mounting holes as shown. NOTE: The orientation of the 7781 Glass Cloth is not important for this repair. NOTE: Jeffco resin has a very short pot life of approximately 15 minutes. Steps 2.G.(1)(f) through 2.G.(1)(l) must be accomplished within that 15 minute time period, before the resin sets up and is no longer workable. Ensure that the caul sheets and repair plies are cut out, test fitted, and ready to install before the resin packets are opened and mixed. (f) Mix the contents of one Jeffco Pack 5 resin kit together. Reserve 1 fl oz of mixed resin (without filler) for wetting out the interior repair plies and the fuselage surfaces. Pour 4 fl oz of the mixed resin into a container and combine with one Mixed Filler 6.4 dry filler pack. Thoroughly mix the resin and fillers together to create an adhesive paste. (g) Prepare the interior repair ply by wetting it out with a portion of the 1 fl oz of reserved mixed Jeffco resin. Fiber content of the 7781 Cloth should be from 54% to 62% by weight. (h) Lightly wet the surface prepared region on the interior side of the fuselage using a small amount of the reserved mixed Jeffco resin. (i) On the interior side of the fuselage, lay-up the single repair ply and ensure that it extends a minimum of 0.5 inch on all sides of the old antenna holes to be patched. (j) Apply the following materials over the interior fuselage repair ply in this order: Polyester Peel Ply Release Fabric, Perforated Release Film, Breather Cloth, and Bagging Film. (k) Apply a caul sheet or equivalent support on the interior side of the fuselage, which will maintain the contour of the fuselage bond seam and support the entire repair ply during cure. (l) From the exterior side of the airplane, fill in the antenna holes using the Jeffco Resin and Mixed Filler adhesive paste. The antenna holes should be filled with adhesive paste until flush with the exterior surface of the fuselage. (m) Allow the interior repair ply and the adhesive paste in the antenna holes to pre-cure for at least three hours at room temperature not less than 77° Fahrenheit. NOTE: If the room temperature is below 77° Fahrenheit, then shop heaters or heat lamps may be placed in the room nearby to raise the ambient temperature to at least 77° Fahrenheit, but should not be placed in close proximity to the repair area. Excessive external heat applied to the repair area during the pre-cure could cause the resin to exotherm (become extremely hot and possibly cause a fire). (2) Repair the exterior side of the fuselage as follows: (a) Use a palm sander with 120-grit sandpaper or 90-degree rotary type tool with ScotchBright pad or equivalent, and sand the cured filler paste where the antenna holes were filled. Sand the exterior side of the fuselage smooth to match the fuselage contour.
MK400-34-01 March 9, 2009

(b) Use a palm sander with 120-grit sandpaper or 90 degree rotary type tool with ScotchBright sanding pad or equivalent, and remove a minimum of three inches of paint and filler (only) beyond each of the old antenna screw mount holes and center antenna connector hole to expose the lightning protection mesh (also called expanded metal foil). Do not sand through the lightning protection mesh during this step. (c) (Figure 13.) Temporarily put the old Orbcomm or externally mounted XM antenna on the exterior side of the fuselage and with a marker, outline the base of the antenna on the fuselage to produce a footprint of the antenna on the fuselage skin. (d) Remove the Orbcomm or externally mounted XM antenna and discard. (e) (Figure 27.) Use a palm sander with 120-grit sandpaper or 90 degree rotary type tool with Scotch-Bright pad or equivalent and remove the lightning protection mesh up to 1.0 inch beyond the footprint of where the Orbcomm or tail mounted XM antenna was installed. (f) (Figure 27.) Verify that there are at least 2.0 inches of lightning protection mesh exposed but not removed, beyond the lighting protection mesh that was removed around the antenna footprint. Use a palm sander with 120 grit sandpaper or 90 degree rotary type tool with Scotch-Bright pad or equivalent and remove any additional paint and filler as needed to provide the 2.0 inch minimum exposed lightning protection mesh. NOTE: It is permissible to remove up to an additional 10% or a total of three square inches of the exposed lightning protection mesh (not including what was removed for the antenna foot print) when removing the paint and filler, without the need to repair the lightning protection mesh in the area where it was removed. If more than 10% or a total of three square inches of the exposed lightning protection mesh is removed, additional lightning protection mesh will need to be repaired. (g) (Figure 26.) Use 7781 Glass Cloth and make or shape the exterior repair ply so that it will extend approximately 0.50 inch beyond the Orbcomm or XM antenna screw mounting holes as shown. NOTE: The orientation of the 7781 Glass Cloth is not important for this repair. (h) Cut a repair section of AL016CXMC36 Bare Aluminum Mesh large enough to overlap the exposed lightning protection mesh on the fuselage exterior by a minimum of 1.0 inch on all sides. (i) Use Isopropyl Alcohol and a lint free cloth to thoroughly clean the exterior side of the fuselage that was sanded. Use the clean side of the lint free cloth for each wipe until the area is thoroughly clean of all contaminants. NOTE: Jeffco has a very short pot life of approximately 15 minutes. Steps 2.G.(2)(j) through 2.G.(2)(p) must be accomplished within that 15 minute time period, before the resin sets up and is no longer workable. Ensure that the caul sheets and repair plies are cut out, test fitted, and ready to go before the resin packets are opened and mixed. (j) Mix the contents of one Jeffco Pack 5 resin kit together. Reserve 1 fl oz of mixed resin (without filler) to use in the following steps for wetting out the repair plies and the fuselage surfaces. Pour 4 fl oz of the mixed resin into a container and combine with one Mixed Filler 6.4 dry filler pack. Thoroughly mix the resin and fillers together to create an adhesive paste.

(k) Prepare the 7781 Glass Cloth and AL016CXMC36 Bare Aluminum Mesh plies by wetting out with a portion of the 1 fl oz of Jeffco resin. Fiber content should be from 54% to 62% by weight. (l) Lightly wet surface prepared region of the exterior fuselage skin using the remaining reserved mixed Jeffco resin. (m) On the exterior side of the fuselage, lay-up the single repair ply of 7781 Glass Cloth, and make sure that it extends a minimum of 0.5 inch beyond all sides of the old antenna holes to be patched. (n) On the exterior side of the fuselage repair, place the ALO16CXMC36 Bare Aluminum Mesh repair piece over the 7781 Glass Cloth repair ply. Make sure that the mesh repair piece overlaps the exposed lightning protection mesh on the fuselage by a minimum of 1.0 inch on all sides. (o) Apply the following materials over the interior fuselage repair ply in this order: Polyester Peel Ply Release Fabric, Perforated Release Film, Breather Cloth, and Bagging Film. (p) To maintain the external fuselage contour, apply a sand bag to the exterior of the fuselage, which covers the entire repair area. (q) Allow the exterior repair ply to pre-cure for at least three hours at room temperature not less than 77° Fahrenheit. CAUTION: If the room temperature is below 77° Fahrenheit, then shop heaters or heat lamps may be placed in the room nearby to raise the ambient temperature to at least 77° Fahrenheit, but should not be placed in close proximity to the repair area. Excessive external heat applied to the repair area during the pre-cure could cause the resin to exotherm (become extremely hot and possibly cause a fire). (r) (Table 1.) After the minimum three hour pre-cure is completed, perform the final cure of the interior glass repair ply, the adhesive paste, and the exterior glass and mesh repair plies at 77° Fahrenheit for seven days or at 212° Fahrenheit for two hours. Use Table 1 for other time and temperature options. NOTE: To save time, the final cure of the repair area may be performed simultaneous with the final cure of the Antenna Wedge Block Installation, at the end of Step 2.H.

H. (Figures 9, 10, and 11.) Install the Antenna Wedge Block as follows: NOTE: The installation of the Garmin GA 35 GPS/WAAS (GPS 1) Antenna, which will be mounted above the baggage door on top of the fuselage, requires the installation of a 14° wedge block (LB53404405 or LB53404406, as supplied). The purpose of this block is to level the antenna with respect to the horizon during flight, so that the GPS / WAAS antenna has a good angle of view of the satellites. (1) Make sure that the interior of the airplane is covered with plastic or similar material to avoid damage to the upholstery. (2) (Figure 13 and 14) Use masking tape to mask off the top of the fuselage as shown. (3) (Figure 16.) Locate the two air-conditioning duct brackets on the interior side of the fuselage at approximately FS 185.5. NOTE: If an Orbcomm or XM antenna repair was performed earlier in these instructions, the aft air-conditioning duct bracket was removed at that time and will be reinstalled in later steps. (4) (Figures 9 and 16.) On the centerline of the interior side of the fuselage, locate and mark the center between the forward and aft air conditioning duct brackets for the antenna connector hole. The location of this hole will be at approximately FS 185.5. (5) (Figure 16.) From the fuselage interior, use a #40 (0.098 inch) size drill bit and drill a pilot hole between the two air-conditioning duct brackets as marked in the previous step. If the aft
MK400-34-01 March 9, 2009
Page 16
air conditioning bracket was removed, use the marked position of the aft A/C bracket as the reference for centering the hole. (6) (Figures 9, 14, and 16.) Drill a 1.25 inch hole through the top of the fuselage at the location where the #40 (0.098 inch) pilot hole was drilled. (7) (Figures 9 and 15.) Drill a #13 ( 0.184 inch) hole approximately 1.8 inches aft of the 1.25 inch hole, on the fuselage centerline. (8) (Figures 13, 14, and 19.) Temporarily position the wedge block on top of the 1.25 inch holes that was drilled and mark a footprint outline around the base of the wedge block onto the masking tape. NOTE: Position the antenna wedge block slightly forward, so that the 1.25 inch hole in the fuselage is aligned towards the aft side of the larger opening in the wedge block, for clearance of the TNC connector. Refer to Figure 19 for an example of proper wedge offset. (9) Remove the wedge block and carefully cut through the tape along the footprint of the wedge block with a razor blade or utility type knife. Do not damage the lightning protection mesh underneath the paint. (10) (Figure 15.) Remove the tape from the footprint area of the antenna only, leaving the surrounding area masked off. (11) (Figures 17 and 18.) Use a Scotch-Brite sanding disk attached to a rotary tool or manually hand sand and remove the paint and primer of the footprint area until at least 90% of the metallic lightning protection mesh in the footprint area is exposed. Do not sand into or through the metallic lightning protection mesh. The mesh layer is very thin and extreme care must be taken to sand only until the bare metal of the mesh is exposed. The exposed mesh should have a glossy sheen to it when completed. Be particularly careful not to damage or remove the mesh around the smaller hole, as this will be used later for grounding the antenna. Minor damage to the mesh is acceptable only as long as it does not exceed 10% of the surface area of the footprint. See Figure 18 for an example of the completed sanding job. (12) Using 80–120 grit paper or equivalent sanding material, surface prep (scuff) the mating face of the antenna wedge block that will be mounted against the skin of the fuselage. NOTE: The fuselage mating surface of the wedge block does not have the Heli-Coil inserts visible. (13) Clean all the dust and debris away from the sanded areas. Use Isopropyl Alcohol and a rag to thoroughly clean the surface prepared areas. (14) To prevent accidental contamination of nearby fuselage surfaces with resin while bonding the antenna wedge block in place, leave the original masking tape in place and apply additional masking tape to protect the larger area around the antenna wedge block mounting point. (15) (Figure 19.) Use a 1.0 inch diameter piece of masking tape to mask off the lightning mesh around the #13 (0.185 inch) size drilled antenna ground hole. The masking tape will prevent bonding resin from contaminating the exposed lightning protection mesh. The tape will be removed once the wedge is bonded onto the fuselage and the resin has cured.

(16) Mix the contents of one Jeffco Pack 5 resin kit together. Reserve 1 fl oz of mixed resin (without filler) to use in the following step for wetting out the mating surfaces of the wedge and fuselage. Pour 4 fl oz of the mixed resin into a container and add one Mixed Filler 6.4 dry filler pack. Thoroughly mix the resin and fillers together to create an adhesive paste. (17) Wet out the mating surfaces of the wedge and fuselage with the mixed resin without fillers that was reserved in the previous step. (18) Apply the Jeffco and Filler Mix adhesive paste to the antenna wedge block. There should be enough Jeffco and Filler Mix adhesive paste between the antenna wedge block and the fuselage to completely fill the gap between the two components. When applying the Jeffco and Filler Mix Adhesive paste to the antenna wedge block, tamp the paste down with a stir stick or spatula to help prevent voids in the Jeffco and Filler Mix adhesive once the antenna wedge block is positioned in place on the fuselage. (19) (Figures 10 and 19.) Mount the antenna wedge block onto the fuselage as shown. (20) (Figure 19.) Allow the Jeffco and Filler Mix adhesive paste to squeeze out as shown. Make sure that the wedge is aligned in the same position where it was marked at and that the wedge centerline is aligned with the fuselage centerline. NOTE: In order to maintain clearance of the TNC connector, position the antenna wedge block slightly forward so that the 1.25 inch hole in the fuselage is aligned towards the aft side of the larger opening in the wedge block. Refer to Figure 19. (21) Firmly hold the wedge block in place – use a second person if required. Use a wooden stir stick or a small piece of plastic to remove the excess paste, creating a radiused fillet around the outside of the base of the wedge. (22) Gently clean all excess Jeffco and Filler Mix Adhesive from in and around the antenna wedge block using a clean, lint free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol. (23) Recheck the wedge position and securely tape the wedge block down in several directions across the top of the fuselage to prevent any movement of the block during the cure cycle. NOTE: Make sure that the masking tape that is on the fuselage is not between the fuselage and the antenna wedge block. Remove the tape as required. (24) Apply a small weight of 1 to 2 pounds to the top of the antenna wedge block. (a) Allow the antenna wedge block installation to pre-cure for at least three hours at room temperature not less than 77° Fahrenheit. NOTE: If the room temperature is below 77° Fahrenheit, then shop heaters or heat lamps may be placed in the room nearby to raise the ambient temperature to at least 77° Fahrenheit, but should not be placed in close proximity to the repair area. Excessive external heat applied to the repair area during the pre-cure could cause the resin to exotherm (become extremely hot and possibly cause a fire). (25) After the minimum three hour pre-cure is completed, perform the final cure of the adhesive on the wedge block at 77° Fahrenheit for seven days or at 212° Fahrenheit for two hours. Use Table 1 for other time and temperature options. (26) Once fully cured, remove the weight, the circular tape over the small hole, and all other protective tape and material.

Install the new GPS 1 Coax Cable as follows: (1) (Figures 2 and 4). Crimp a 225395-6 BNC connector to one end of the 238.0 inch long section of RG 400 coax cable. Label this end of the coax cable, identifying it as GPS 1. Connect this end of the coax cable to the GPS connector position on the back of the GPS 1 radio tray. (2) (Figure 1.) Route the coax cable along with the existing wire bundles, along the right side of the instrument panel and above the right control stick grip. Continue routing the RG-400 coax cable with existing wire bundles along the right side of the fuselage, then up the right aft side of the door frame to the center of the overhead, and then aft along the center overhead area to the GA35 antenna. (3) (Figure 3.) Use TY242M tie-wraps as necessary to secure the coax cable to existing wire bundles. NOTE: Make sure that the coax cable is securely fastened up and away from the right control stick grip linkage, and that the control stick has free and clear movement in all directions once the RG-400 coax cable is installed. (4) Install the CTM-2 Tie Blocks anywhere as necessary to keep the RG-400 coax cable secure. They should be placed 6-8 inches apart. Mark the areas where the CTM-2 Tie-Blocks will be placed. Use 80-120 grit sand paper to surface prep the areas on the fuselage where the CTM-2 Tie-blocks will be located. Use 80-120 grit sand paper to surface prep the base of the CTM-2 Tie-block. (5) (For airplanes that were equipped with the optional Orbcomm or XM antenna mounted on the fuselage exterior only.) Use 80-120 grit sand paper to surface prepare the area on the fuselage where the aft air conditioning support bracket was removed, and on the base of the aft air-conditioning bracket. (6) Clean the surface prepared areas with a clean lint-free rag and Isopropyl Alcohol. (7) Use 14340V86 Devcon Plastic Welder II, 14285V86 Mark 5 Mix Nozzles, and 14280V86 Devcon Application Gun to secure the CTM-2 Tie Blocks to the fuselage. (8) Use 14340V86 Devcon Plastic Welder II adhesive to bond the aft air-conditioning support bracket back in its original marked position. (9) Tape the CTM-2 Tie-blocks and the aft air-conditioning support bracket (if applicable) in place until the 14340V86 Devcon Plastic Welder II adhesive cures. Remove the tape after the adhesive is cured. Allow to cure for at least 30 minutes. (10) (Figures 2 and 4.) Using one 31-2381 90° TNC Connector, install the connector onto the antenna end of the GPS 1 coax cable. Label this end of the coax cable as GPS 1. (11) (Figure 3.) Use TY242M tie-wraps as necessary to secure the coax cable to existing wire bundles and to the CTM-2 Wire Tie Blocks. Make a service loop with the remaining length of RG400 coax cable near the GA35 antenna.

J. Mount the GA 35 GPS 1 Antenna as follows: (1) (Figure 10.) Use 005-010-MLS Stabilant 22 Contact Enhancer to treat the exposed area of the exterior fuselage Lightning Protection Mesh inside the aft hole of the wedge block. Treat the terminal ends of the LB53404415 Ground Braid Assembly and treat the hardware that will be used to mount the Ground Braid. Treat the face area of the GA 35 antenna that is located around the forward RH mounting hole. NOTE: 005-010-MLS Stabilant 22 Electrical Contact Enhancer is to be added to terminated connections to enhance conductivity. Ensure the terminals are clean before applying Stabilant 22. Stabilant 22 (005-010-015 or 005-010-MLS) can be applied in concentrated or diluted form. To dilute, mix 15 ml of Stabilant 22 (005-010-015) with 3.75 ml of Isopropanol 99%, or 4 parts Stabilant 22 to 1 part Isopropanol, in a sealable container (e.g. a touch up paint container). Apply concentrated or diluted Stabilant 22 on the terminals of connectors by coating each terminal. The supplied brush, or similar, can be used for application. Ensure connectors and receptacles are free from moisture. If necessary, dry the connectors using a heat gun. (2) (Figure 10.) Install the LB53404415 Ground Braid Assembly. Using MS51957-51 or MS51596-49 Screws (use whichever one will give at least two threads protrusion through the nut on the other side), AN970-3 Large area washer, NAS1149FN832P #8 Washer, and MS21083C08 Self Locking Nut, attach the components as shown. Make sure that the AN970-3 Large Area Washer has metal to metal contact with the lightning protection mesh at the small hole. (3) (Figures 10, 19.) The opposite end of the LB53404415 Ground Braid Assembly will be mounted in the spot-face area at the forward right corner of the antenna wedge block assembly. First install the 91802A197 screw through the forward RH mounting hole of the GA 35 antenna. Place the ring terminal end of the ground strap onto the screw, and place the GA 35 antenna onto the antenna wedge block. (4) Use an ohm meter to check the resistance between the GA 35 antenna base and the Lightning Protection Mesh on the fuselage of the airplane. The total resistance should be less than 25 milliohms. (5) Mount the GA 35 antenna to the antenna wedge block using the remaining three 91802A197 screws. NOTE: Torque the screws 17- 21 in/lbs. Do not over torque, as damage may occur to the antenna wedge block. (6) Apply a thin bead of the RTV-162 (white) over the head of the four mounting screws of the GA 35 antenna. Do not apply excessive amounts of RTV-162. Smooth out the RTV-162 when finished. (7) Mask off any areas where the RTV is not to be used, and apply a thin bead of RTV-162 around the perimeter of the seam of the GA 35 antenna and the antenna wedge block. Allow the RTV-162 to cure and then remove the masking tape. (8) Mask off any areas where the RTV should not be applied, and apply a thin bead of RTV-162 silicone around the base of the antenna wedge block and the fuselage skin. (9) Use a wooden stir stick or a plastic handle to create a radiused fillet in the RTV-162 around the base of the Antenna Wedge Block. Apply enough RTV to cover up the residue from the bonding paste. Allow the RTV-162 to cure and remove any masking tape.

Ryan / Avidyne – TCAD / TAS Traffic System Interface Check: (For airplanes equipped with the Ryan TCAD 9900BX or Avidyne TAS 620 Traffic Advisory System only.) (1) Move the airplane outside and verify that the traffic system displays local traffic. The Ryan/Avidyne traffic systems should show traffic in the vicinity of the airport and in the appropriate quadrants on the PFD or GPS 2 displays. Refer to the Pilots Operating Handbook to determine proper operation of the different available Ryan or Avidyne traffic systems. (2) Make sure that local traffic is displayed on the Traffic pages of both the MFD and the #2 (lower) GNS 430W GPS unit. O. TIS Traffic Information System Check: (For airplanes equipped with a Garmin GTX330 Transponder only.) NOTE: Refer to the Pilots Operating Handbook for determining proper operation of the TIS traffic option. The TIS traffic system is only available if the airplane is equipped with a Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder, and service will only be available in select FAA approach radar coverage areas. For airplanes equipped with Garmin GTX 327 transponders, the TIS option is not available. (1) To test the TIS traffic option: select the Traffic page on the #1 (top) Garmin GNS 430W unit and turn on the GTX 330 transponder. If the airplane is located within a select radar coverage area, the available traffic will display on the traffic page of the #1 GNS 430W unit.

NOTE: For airplanes equipped with both TIS and the 9900BX or TAS 620 systems, the #1 GNS 430W units is configured to display TIS traffic, and the # 2 GNS 430W unit and the MFD are configured to display TCAD/TAS type traffic. For airplanes which are equipped with a GTX 330 transponder and are NOT equipped with 9900BX or TAS 620 systems, the TIS traffic information should also be displayed on the Traffic page of the MFD and should be tested on the MFD in the same manner as on the GNS430W. P. Stormscope Interface Check: (For Model 350 airplanes with a L3 Communications WX-500 Stormscope installed only.) (1) Turn the left knob to the Lightning page on the Avidyne MFD. (2) Verify that LIGHTNING FAILED message is not displayed. NOTE: An initial Lighting Failed message may appear on the MFD after initial startup of the avionics. Clear any initial messages before determining the validity of subsequent failure messages. (3) Access the Lightning configuration page in the MFD maintenance mode pages as follows: (a) To access the MFD maintenance configuration pages, proceed as follows: (b) The MFD will begin its normal start up sequence. Press any button when prompted with “Press any bezel key to continue.” (c) Rotate the left knob clockwise until the AUX page at the bottom of the screen is displayed. (d) Simultaneously press and hold buttons L1 (top left) and L3 (3rd down on the left) for at least five seconds, until the blue Maintenance Mode Page displays. (e) Press the configuration soft key for the lightning page. (4) While in the Lightning configuration page on the MFD, press the ‘Lightning Strike Test’ softkey. (5) The MFD will switch to the MAP page and should display a single strike at the 15 mile range and 45 degrees relative bearing. Q. XM Weather Broadcast: (For airplanes equipped with the optional XM Weather system only.) The XM broadcast satellite network transmits signals that are received by an XM data-link receiver on the airplane. The information is displayed on the MFD. NOTE: For detailed information about the operation of the XM Weather Datalink system and information about XM customer account activation, see the Entegra EX5000 Pilot’s Guide. (1) Bring the airplane to an area on the ramp with as few obstacles to line-of-sight viewing of the southern horizon as possible. (2) Turn the left knob to select the Trip page on the MFD. Press the Display soft key until XM Broadcast (down-pointing arrow) Status page is selected. (a) The XM Broadcast Status page will display the 8-character XM Receiver ID.

(b) If the XM Service level reports anything other than ‘Aviator’, contact the airplane owner to have the account renewed at XM radio. Make a note of the Receiver ID for the airplane owner, who will need it when contacting XM Radio at (800) 985-9200 to reactivate the account. (c) If the Broadcast Receiver is working, and the airplane is in view of at least one XM satellite, the Signal Quality should be “Good”, or “Marginal”. If the Signal Quality is reported as “Weak”, or “None”, reposition the airplane as required. NOTE: After turning on the avionics systems in the airplane, it may take up to 30 minutes for all the blocks of valid XM data to be received and displayed. (3) Enter a destination waypoint such as ‘KRDM’ into the GPS, and turn to the Trip page on the MFD. Press the Display button on the trip page of the MFD to cycle through various XM valid data information such as METARS, TAF’s, WINDS ALOFT, etc. Make sure that valid data is displayed on these pages. (4) Make sure that the METAR (textual meteorological report) for the destination waypoint is displayed on the MFD and that the graphical weather data for en-route weather is displayed as an overlay on the map. R. Primary Flight Display (PFD) Magnetometer Calibration: NOTE: For calibrating the magnetometer function of the PFD, an approved handheld magnetic sight compass will be required. Two technicians are required for performing the procedure. One in the airplane to monitor procedure and push required line select keys on the PFD, and one handheld sight compass operator outside of the airplane to precisely align the airplane to each of 12 calibration points. Avidyne suggests using an approved compass rose for this procedure. (1) Make sure that the calibration procedure is done in a known magnetically clean area at least 200 feet from metal structures of any kind and not above areas that may have underground fuel tanks or steel rebar in the concrete ramp. Make sure the airplane doors are closed, flaps are in retracted position, and that the airplane is reasonably level. NOTE: If you stop the calibration process (for example: by exiting the Magnetometer Calibration Page or shutting off power to the PFD) before completion, you will lose the stored calibration parameters. You will need to restart the calibration process over from the beginning. (2) Make sure that all circuit breakers are engaged. (3) Put the Left and Right battery Master Switches to the ON position. (4) Put the Avionics Master switch to the OFF position. NOTE: Consider attaching an external power cart until ready to actually perform the calibration, unless you are performing this calibration with the engine running and alternators on. All other airplane equipment should be operating. NOTE: Leave the Avionics Master Switch in the OFF position while performing the magnetometer calibration to conserve battery power if the engine is not being operated while performing the magnetometer calibration.

(5) Allow the PFD to align for approximately 3 minutes, until the ADAHRS warm-up window disappears. Wait in the aligned state for an additional 5-10 minutes. (6) Simultaneously press and hold the top left button (L1) and the third button down from top left (L3), on the PFD, until the countdown timer in the lower left corner of the display indicates zero. The System Page is displayed when the timer reaches zero. NOTE: When accessing the System page on the PFD, both Garmin GNS430W units must be turned off. If the GNS430W units are in the ‘Instrument Panel Self Test Page,’ the PFD Maintenance Mode can not be accessed. (7) The tabs at the bottom of the page indicate the available System Pages, which you can access by turning the left knob. The tab for the current page is highlighted with a green border. (8) Scroll the left knob to the Calibration tab. Press the PERFORM MAG CAL button. A Magnetometer Calibration Page will display on the first line: “Align to 360° magnetic, then press calibrate heading.” (9) Manually move or taxi the airplane to each calibration point. The handheld sight compass operator outside of the airplane should sight each heading from about 20 feet in front of the airplane by aligning the sight on the handheld compass to the nose and up the vertical stabilizer for precise alignment at each of the 12 headings to be calibrated (every 30 degrees). Manually align or taxi the airplane such that the centerline of the airplane is on magnetic north (360° ± 1° or less) heading as indicated by the handheld sight compass operator. It is critical that you take the time you need to fine-tune each calibration point. (10) Follow the prompts on the Magnetometer Calibration Page. Align the centerline of the airplane on consecutive 30° headings (12 total calibration points) as indicated by the handheld sight compass operator, by manually repositioning or taxiing the airplane as required. At each of the alignment points, press the CALIBRATE HEADING button and wait until “DONE” displays. (11) Follow the directions of the Magnetometer Calibration Page until the procedure is complete. NOTE: If any of the 12 calibration points display FAILED, rather than DONE, press the REDO PREVIOUS button to “undo” the previous step and repeat the calibration point. (12) After the last heading point of 330° is calibrated, the PFD will display the following message: “Mag Cal Complete: Return to PFD. Cycle Power”. After this message appears, press the ‘Back to PFD.’ Button. NOTE: At the last heading calibration point (330°), it may take up to a minute for “Done” to display. (13) Wait approximately 30 seconds and then power down the PFD screen by pulling the Left PFD and Right PFD circuit breakers. Wait 30 seconds. (14) Reset both the left PFD and the right PFD circuit breakers. Wait for the PFD to completely initialize – approximately 3 minutes. (15) Align the centerline of the airplane with consecutive 90° headings (90, 180, 270, 360) as indicated by the handheld sight compass. Verify that the PFD heading display is within ± 4° of the handheld sight compass. The calibration is now complete.
