DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT

The FreeFlight 2101 I/O Approach Plus Receiver provides long-range GPS navigation via a Dzus-mounted unit. Each system
comprises receivers and antennas to perform specified functions. The Jeppesen database cards provide up-to-date
information about airports and other navigation aids around the world. The FreeFlight 2101 I/O Approach Plus GPS System
comprises one Dzus-mounted Receiver/Display Unit (RDU) containing a GPS Receiver (12-channel), one GPS Antenna/
Preamp, and applicable installation hardware (see Section 1.4.2 for the appropriate part numbers). The Jeppesen database
cards are available separately. The part numbers are P/N 81461-10 for North American information, P/N 81461-12 for
Eurasian information, and P/N 81461-13 for Pacific/South American information. The first card is supplied by FreeFlight.
Use of the GPS antenna for IFR installations in aircraft equipped with satellite communication equipment should be
tested to ensure no interference exists between the SATCOM equipment and the GPS antenna.
