what is the pn for environmental splices?

Football splice

 

The small round older style is TSE-20-01

Autopilot

AP106

In a WestWind, 4 seconds after “ALT”…”CAP” the pitch mode is in CAPTURE mode.  High gain response from the BARO knob to the Control column.

APPS 80

On the ground

APPS 80 “force” indicators actually indicate. Last integrator output before the servo.

Jumper 7 and 10 to look at the APP valids.

permanent offset may be NAC or LAC

Fly the aircraft on 1 inverter in NORMAL, 1 in ALTERNATE, the see if it is a inverter sync problem.

 

HF Com

HF950 System

in a F900, Transmitter/Receiver and the PA must be MOD LEVEL so and so because of the distance from the tail to the nose.  the squawk is a tuning tone that will not go away.

Receive problems:

Tune 5000, 10,000, 15,000, or 20,000 for WWV audio.

Remove all connectors  to the P.A.  Install a temporary antenna to the REC/EXT.  try WWV again.

Transmit problems:

AM radio will demodulate the transmitter if it is placed on top of the fuselage.

Watch for 10 to 40 amps on the aircraft load meter while transmitting.

Pin Diode and Headphone works good also.

ADF

MoneyMaker:  ANT(enna) mode rather than ADF mode?

White Noise?  If there is no White Noise, temporary sense antenna.

Audio?

Needles stow at 90/270?  Needled Hunt? Indicator installed upright?

Loop Modulation stronger when TEST needles are swung away from null

Ground power unit affects needles.

Tends to oppoint correctly ForAft? one bad coil

 

Needle points OK erratically. H-C excitation on the needle circuit.

Neon lamp at antenna.

GPS

Remove the GPS antenna.  Looking down the coax to the receiver, there should be 5VDC on the center pin.  That proves the GPS is plugged in and powered.

The cheaper the transponder the more critical the antenna.
