3.6.3 TRANSCEIVER STRUCTURAL MOUNTING
The Sky Connect Transceiver should be mounted in accordance with standard
practices found in FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-2A. The Transceiver is approved for
mounting outside the pressure vessel. See Figures 2 and 3 for unit and tray
dimensions.
The structural mount consists of a mating tray, with a self-locking, vibration
resistant, knurled thumbscrew system. The tray should be bolted to a suitable
avionics shelf, using approved #6 hardware, until the tray was changed to Mod level
A, which requires #8 hardware. Please check the Mod Status on the tray prior to
installation to assure you use the correct hardware.
