Alignment; Slipstream; Site Selection - GOODRICH Stormscope Series II Installation Manual

2.4.5 Alignment

The antenna need not be centered on the fuselage
as long as its longitudinal axis is within 2 degrees
of parallel with the aircraft longitudinal axis. The
antenna should be mounted within 15 degrees of
horizontal and may be mounted within 6 inches (15
cm) of a ventral fin. The antenna may mount on an
upslope not to exceed 15 degrees of horizontal.

2.4.6 Slipstream

In general, the antenna should mount aft, where
the slipstream boundary layer is thick, to reduce
the effects of P-static. Do not mount the antenna
near any composite materials (e.g., plastic covers,
domes) as they can build up static charges. Top or
bottom mounts provide equal performance.

2.4.7 Site Selection

Select an antenna location that satisfies the criteria outlined in the preceding paragraphs.
The ideal guidelines, of course, cannot always be met. If the installation criteria cannot be met, contact the
Goodrich Avionics Systems Customer Service Department at 1-800-253-9525 or 1-616-949-6600, for
location assistance.
Since Goodrich Avionics Systems has no control over airframe integrity or aircraft
configuration, the authorized installer is responsible for insuring a noise free
installation. If additional labor is required to correct an interference problem caused
by another aircraft system or component, Goodrich Avionics Systems will not
reimburse the installer for this labor under warranty. For this reason, the installer
should anticipate extra labor when quoting the installation to the customer,
depending upon aircraft type and specific configuration.
