2. INSTALLATION

2.1. INTRODUCTION

Careful planning and consideration of the suggestions in this section are required to achieve the desired

performance and reliability from the installed equipment. Any deviations from the installation instructions

prescribed in this document shall be accomplished in accordance with the requirements set forth in FAA

AC 43.13-2A.

2.2. ANTENNA PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The AirCell antenna (CI 5000-1) is designed for belly mounting, but must be mounted at a point on the

fuselage that allows a clear view to the horizon in all directions. This antenna should be located on the

forward portion of the fuselage, rather than the rear, as the cell-to-cell handoffs are more effective when

done forward of the aircraft rather than aft. If the antenna is mounted under the wings, the reception is then

reduced or obstructed as the aircraft banks. In this case, it would be better to mount the antenna aft of the

wing if there were no space forward of the wing. However, NEVER mount the antenna on the upslope of

the tail. The fuselage will block almost all forward reception. Care should be taken to assure that the

engine nacelles hanging down from the wings do not block the view to the sides. Blade antennas should be

mounted on the centerline of the aircraft to minimize performance differences from side to side. It is also

important that the antenna mounting surface be maintained within 5 degrees of horizontal, since the

antenna is designed for horizontal polarization and performs best when mounted on a horizontal surface.

Best OK NO!

FIGURE 1. Cellular Antenna Installation Considerations

An AirCell Antenna should not be located in the vicinity of other antennas on the bottom of the aircraft. In

particular, other antennas should be kept at least 18” and preferably 36” fore and aft of the AirCell antenna,

and none should be mounted to the sides of the AirCell antenna. Of particular concern are horizontal wire

elements such as older style ADF antennas or “bent wire” comm antennas and long wire ADF sense

antennas still seen on older aircraft. Even though visually they do not seem to block the AirCell antenna,

they will still significantly disturb its performance.

2.3. CABLING AND WIRING

Check that there is ample space for the cabling and mating connectors. Avoid sharp bends in cabling,

particularly the antenna cables, and routing near aircraft control cables. Cabling should not be routed near

components or cabling which are sources of electrical noise. Do not route the antenna cables near any ADF

antenna cables.

The FCC has imposed strict requirements on the performance of the NavTalk Pilot System to prevent

interference with ground cellular networks. To maximize the range of the system, prevent interference with

ground cellular, and maintain the best reception, AirCell requires that finished coaxial cable assemblies are

tested for loss and VSWR.

The total cable loss from the antenna to the cradle cable must be less than 1.5dB at 900 MHz and no more

than 1.4:1 VSWR. Very long cables with loss higher than this amount may affect the airborne phone

system performance under maximum range conditions. For installations requiring airborne phone coaxial

cable lengths greater than 40 feet, consult AirCell Customer Service at 1-888-286-9876.

P/N 190-00189-12 Rev. A

The three recommended coaxial cable vendors are PIC, ECS, and EMTEQ.

How to Determine Cable Part Numbers

1. Select a location for the NavTalk Pilot transceiver. From this location, determine the desired

connection location to the cradle cable.

2. Determine the location for the antenna. The antenna should be installed on the bottom of the aircraft

on a level location, not on an upslope. Mounting the antenna on the tail slope will cause antenna

shadowing at certain attitudes and degrade system performance. See antenna installation guidelines for

further information.

3. Determine the length of the coaxial cable needed. The length should include distance needed for

service loops, and should include the connectors.

4. Look up the total coaxial cable length required in the table below. Part numbers for coaxial cable are

listed from PIC Wire and Cable, ECS and EMTEQ.

5. Call your preferred cable vendor and give them the length of cable, the cable type and which type of

connector that you wish (straight or 90°).

CAUTION

The Cellular Antenna cable must be tested (total cable loss no more than 1.5dB@900 MHz and VSWR less

than 1.4:1) as an assembled unit. Remind the vendor that this must be done to assure optimal system

performance. Retain certificate for performance verification.

3.2. MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS

None.

3.3. INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES REQUIRED BUT NOT PROVIDED

None.

3.4. ANTENNA INSTALLATION

Proper design for the installation of the antenna is critical for the system performance and meeting FAA

regulations, especially on pressurized aircraft. Antenna installation requires proper FAA approval and must

meet the requirements of FAA FAR 23.571 or FAR 25.571.

NOTE

Rule changes over recent years require that penetration in pressurized aircraft be analyzed. FAA AC

43.13-1B does not properly address the new rules for the installation of antennas in pressurized aircraft. An

analysis is required to determine that the installation will not cause cracks and structural damage due to

loads placed on antennas. This analysis is usually performed by a DER and documented on FAA Form

8110-3 and included as approved data on FAA Form 337.

NOTE

It is desirable to have at least 18” and preferably 36” of separation from other antennas. Please call AirCell

Customer Service/Technical Support to discuss installs with less separation.

When using the Low Profile Antenna (CI 5000-1), the antenna must be mounted on the bottom of the

aircraft on the lowest possible portion of the airframe in level flight. Best performance will result if the

antenna is located forward or aft of the wing area. If possible, do not position the antenna under the wing

and NEVER on the tail upsweep (see Figure 1 for more complete information on antenna placement).

NOTE

All antenna installations must comply with the applicable FARs.

IMPORTANT

The base of antennas must be metal to metal bonded with the aircraft skin. For the CI 5000-1 Antenna, no

ground is provided via the mounting screws as the base plate screw holes do not have metal sleeves. Be

sure to remove paint on aircraft skin, pre-treat, and treat with Alodine or equivalent conductive corrosion

inhibiting treatment.

CAUTION

Do not use construction grade RTV sealant or sealants containing acetic acid. These sealants may damage

the electrical connections to the antenna. Use of these type sealants may void the antenna warranty.

The outline and footprint dimensions for the antenna and doubler plate are shown in Figures 3 and 4,

respectively, on page 6.

1. Using the doubler plate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes and the through

hole for coaxial cable. Drill or punch the holes.

2. Use the doubler plate (part of 013-00059-00 kit) as required for thin-skinned aircraft.

3. The antenna installation must provide adequate support for the antenna. Observe guidelines for

acceptable installation practices as outlined in AC 43.13-2A.

4. Fasten antenna to aircraft with six (6) #8-32 screws, lockwashers, and locknuts (parts of

013-00059-00 kit)

5. The “N Type” ground connector on the Low Profile Antenna is not used and should be capped

with the plastic cover supplied with the antenna.

3.5. CABLE INSTALLATION

1. Route the coaxial cable to the NavTalk Pilot Adapter mounting location keeping in mind the

recommendations of Section 2. Secure the cable in accordance with good aviation practice.

2. Trim the coaxial cable to the desired length and install the TNC connector per the cabling

instructions on Figure 2. If the connector is provided by the installer, follow the connector

manufacturer’s instructions for cable preparation.
