5. Functional tests
When installed in accordance with these installation instructions, Stratus ESG complies with 14
CFR Part 91.227.
Final installation checks for Stratus ESG are the responsibility of the installer. The installer must
ensure that Stratus ESG operates in accordance with the appropriate regulations.
After installation is complete, verify operation as identified in 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix F. The
IFR6000 with OPT3 (manufactured by Cobham AvComm – formerly Aeroflex Test Solutions) or
equivalent test set can be used to determine compliance.
Additional testing requirements can be found in Chapter 4 of Advisory Circular (AC) 20-165B.
Additional functional tests may be required.
When installed correctly, Stratus ESG complies with 14 CFR Part 91.215 & 91.225. While in
airspace specified in 14 CFR Part 91.215, Stratus ESG must be maintained to 14 CFR Part
91.413. Additional maintenance information can be found in the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (Appendix B).
If Stratus ESG was installed within 0.4 meters of a magnetic compass, evaluate the necessity of
a swing test.
In addition to maintaining compliance to the regulations above, perform the following operational
tests after configuration.
NOTE
: Tests should be executed in an area where the aircraft has an unimpeded view of the
sky, such that a proper GPS fix can be established.
