Maximum Resistance Between GTX Chassis and Aircraft Type/Model Ground Reference Notes Ground Reference (mΩ) Periodic Reconditioned Triton A500 Local grounded structure 10.0 [1] Diamond DA 40 with Diamond OSB 40-004/3 incorporated, or aircraft with similar factory- installed lightning protection supporting IFR operation. [2] IFR models must use values of 10.0 and 5.0 for bonding tests, and use aircraft lightning ground per the aircraft SRM or other manufacturer-approved data, as ground reference instead of the instrument panel.
B.2 Preparation of Aluminum Surfaces The following general procedure is recommended to prepare an aluminum surface for proper electrical bonding. 1. Clean grounding location with solvent. 2. Remove non-conductive films or coatings from the grounding location. 3. Apply a chemical conversion coat such as Alodine 1200 to the bare metal. 4.
When replacing damaged aluminum foil, the following procedure is recommended for bonding on composite structures. 1. The aluminum tape must be isolated from carbon composite material. Secure a thin layer of fiberglass cloth to the carbon fiber with fiberglass resin as shown in figure B-4. STRIP OF LIGHT FIBERGLASS CLOTH SUCH AS 1080-50 (1.45 OZ/SQ.

B.4 Tube and Fabric Aircraft If it is necessary to replace the existing AN742 clamp, install a new AN742 clamp in accordance with AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11, Section 11, Clamping, and Section 15, Grounding and Bonding and the following criteria. Refer to table B-3 for hardware.
NOTES USE WASHER AND NUTS IDENTIFIED IN TABLE . IF USING AN742-6 THROUGH AN742-10 CLAMPS, TWO BONDING CLAMP ASSEMBLIES MUST BE USED. IF USING AN742-11 OR LARGER CLAMPS, ONLY ONE BONDING CLAMP ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED. INSTALL BONDING CLAMP UNDER FABRICATED METAL PLATE. ENSURE MAXIMUM CONTACT AREA BETWEEN CLAMP AND FABRICATED METAL PLATE.
B.5 Bonding Jumper To replace any bonding strap from vibration-isolated instrument panel grounding to metallic structure, use the following criteria. • The bonding strap length must not exceed six inches in length • The bonding strap must not loop back on itself •...
