3.1 Installation procedure

This chapter describes the installation process including some of
the various options, and maintenance/care of your Altair. Example
installations are provided in Section 3.8.
The recommended installation procedure is as follows:
1. Read all Altair manuals and the aircraft type pilot's manual
and maintenance manual thoroughly.
2. Examine the aircraft to determine its particular requirements.
3. Decide on the various installation options, ensuring they
comply with the legal and airworthiness requirements of the
aircraft type.
4. Mechanically install Altair in the instrument panel, checking
first for sufficient space for connectors.
5. Perform the electrical installation.
6. Perform 'first use' setup, including device configuration.
7. After installation and configuration, check all switches op-
erate correctly using system diagnostics functions.
8. Make notes on the work performed and configuration set-
tings, and store the notes with the aircraft maintenance man-
ual.
9. Have a professional engineer check the installation, and per-
form any weight and balance calculations and compass ad-
justment.
10. Perform a flight test to ensure the device is functioning cor-
rectly.
If in doubt as to how to perform any of these steps, seek profes-
sional help from a licensed aircraft maintenance facility.
