Introduction
ACD-57 is a small multi-function control display intended for controlling ATC radar beacon
systems (transponder, XPDR) and airborne VHF transceivers (COM). Furthermore the system
is capable of determining and displaying a precise pressure altitude (altimeter). The system
is connected to transponder and COM devices using standardized interfaces.
The small outline and multifunctional software of the device allow for better system
integration in space constrained environments. The pilot-centered user interface aims at
reducing crew workload, increasing crew eciency and improving ight safety.

Limitations and Safety Instructions
Safety
ACD-57 shall never distract from general practices of safe airmanship. Using ACD-57 may
impose signicant workload on the ight crew if not adequately familiar with ACD-57 and
trained on its operation. In order to use ACD-57 eectively, familiarization with the unit is
essential.
We recommend a thorough study of this manual and extensive familiarization on ground.
Do not y with ACD-57 if you are unfamiliar with its operation and limitations
Installations in which ACD-57 devices are used may be complex. Familiarization of specic
installation conditions in an aircraft, for example the number, type, and conguration of
connected systems is essential before using ACD-57.
ACD-57 installation requires several forms such as checkout forms and conguration logs
to be lled out by installation personell. These documents are stored in the aircraft’s
documentation and are a viable resource for pilots who wish to study installation specics
of an ACD-57 in an aircraft.
Regulatory Requirements
It is the responsibility of those using this article to determine that the installation and
working conditions are within required standards.
Independently from ETSO authorizations, depending on aircraft type and certication base,
ACD-57 may not be suitable as a primary altimeter, COM control, or XPDR control unit.
Screen Shots
All screen shots used in this document are current at the time of publication.
Screen shots are intended to provide visual reference only. All information depicted in
screen shots, including software le names, versions, and part numbers, is subject to change
and may not be up to date.
Function Licensing and Database Expiry
Certain functionality is subject to a software licensing model and has to be unlocked during
installation. This manual assumes that all required licenses have been installed during
installation. Details can be found in the ACD-57 Installation Manual [1].
Some software features such as databases have expiration dates and may become unavail-
able as they expire. Validity is checked regularly. After the underlying database has expired,
some functions may become unusable.
