3.6.7.2 KG 71EXP Orientation
The KG 71EXP supports four installation orientations:
(1) Pitot-static ports facing the airplane nose (Unit X axis is aligned with airplane X axis)
(2) Pitot-static ports facing the right wing (Unit Y axis is aligned with airplane X axis)
(3) Pitot-static ports facing the airplane tail (Unit X axis is aligned with airplane X axis)
(4) Pitot-static ports facing the left wing (Unit Y axis is aligned with airplane X axis)
The KG 71EXP installation orientation and alignment with the airplane axis X (longitudinal axis from tail to
nose) is illustrated in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 Supported KG 71EXP Installation Orientations
The KG 71EXP (either shelf or rack mounted) must be leveled with the airplane’s pitch and roll within ± 15
degrees. Many airplane models have an airplane-level reference shelf that is in alignment with the actual
airplane’s pitch and roll “level”. A digital inclinometer with an accuracy of 0.1 degree or better should be
used to level the shelf to the airplane’s pitch and roll “level”. The airplane maintenance manual should
identify the airplane “level” and leveling procedures.
KG 71EXP offsets in the pitch and roll axis can be compensated up to ±15 degrees in each axis. The offsets
in pitch and roll are compensated for by software offsets stored into the KG 71EXP non-volatile memory
(NVM). The KG 71EXP provides measured offset information to the installer via the CMT tool (when the
airplane is leveled) and these offsets are stored into NVM.
No external measurement of the KG 71EXP pitch and roll installation offsets is required. However, it is
important to mechanically align the KG 71EXP in the longitudinal axis to be within ±3 degrees of the
NOTE
DO NOT MOUNT THE KG 71EXP ON ITS EDGE OR UPSIDE DOWN.
