CHAPTER 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This section contains a functional description of the SKY497, describes the various hardware and software configurations, outlines the main features of the system, and provides a system block diagram.

NOTES

1. This section provides installation information for the BFGoodrich Avionics Systems

SKY497 using the WX-1000/SKY497 Display.

2. The SKY497 does not track intruder aircraft approaching at a closure rate greater than 900 knots.

3. The SKY497 can be interfaced to an alternate display device (i.e., MFD, weather radar indicator), contact BFGoodrich Avionics Systems Field Service Engineering at

1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600 for approved displays and software version required for the TRC497.

4. The SKY497 can be interfaced to a weather radar indicator in place of the

WX-1000/SKY497 display, by using the BFGoodrich Avionics Systems RGC250

(Radar Graphics Computer). Refer to the RGC250 Installation Manual for details.

5. An alternate display device can be used in place of the WX-1000/SKY497 display as the primary means of displaying traffic information. Refer to manufacturer instructions for installation details.

6. When an alternate display device is installed the service menu can not be accessed, therefore a terminal device (i.e., laptop) is required for post-installation checkout

(refer to appendix E).

1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The BFG Avionics Systems SKY497 is an airborne traffic advisory system that advises the flight crew where to look for aircraft that may pose a collision threat. It is intended for use by corporate and general aviation aircraft. SKY497 alerts the flight crew to nearby transponder equipped aircraft and assists the pilot in the visual acquisition of aircraft that may represent a danger.

Traffic information, out to a selected range of either 2 or 6 nautical miles, is graphically displayed on the

CRT. Using shapes (i.e., Traffic Advisory = solid circle; Other Traffic = open diamond) and text, the display shows the relative position of threat aircraft.

1.3 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

The SKY497 System consists of the following main components:

•

Transmitter Receiver Computer

•

Display

•

Directional Antenna, NY164, or equivalent (e.g., NY156)

SKY497 is an active system that operates as an aircraft-to-aircraft interrogation device. The SKY497 equipment interrogates transponders in the surrounding airspace similar to ground based radars. When replies to these active interrogations are received, the responding aircraft’s range, altitude, and closure rates are computed to plot traffic location and predict collision threats. Figure 1-1 shows the SKY497 surveillance zone for intruding aircraft. A simplified block diagram of the main components and their relationships is shown in figure 1-2.

1.3.2 Display

The SKY497 can be used with a WX-1000/SKY497 display, an alternate display device or both. When interfaced to both displays (WX-1000/SKY497 display and alternate display), display functions are independent from each other. When installing an alternate display device the service menu cannot be accessed, even if a WX-1000/SKY497 display is installed, therefore a terminal device (i.e., laptop) is required for post-installation checkout (see appendix E).

The SKY497 is designed to transmit traffic information to the alternate display device via our ARINC-429 bus interface. Refer to display manufacturer instructions for installation details.

WX-1000/SKY497 Display P/N 78-8060-5900-x. To operate with SKYWATCH, existing WX-1000 displays must conform to TSO-C113. If the equipment tag on the back of the unit (see figure 1-7) does not identify

SKYWATCH and TSO-C113, return the display to the factory for modification. To schedule workload and ensure a quick turn around, a return authorization will be required. Call BFG Avionics Systems Customer

Service (1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600) for details.

1.3.3 NY-164 Directional Antenna P/N 805-10890-001

The directional antenna is a teardrop-shaped antenna. Connections are made through two TNC and one

BNC connector. The antenna is sealed against environmental extremes and is non-repairable. To ensure a tight seal between the airframe and antenna, an O-ring seal (i.e., an O-ring groove for an MS28775-044 Oring) has been incorporated into the design. An O-ring is supplied with each antenna. To fit specific airframes, a special adapter plate is also required. The adapter plate is included in the installation kit shipped with each system. Refer to table 1-4 for a list of installation kits associated with various airframes.

For aircraft not listed, contact the aircraft manufacturer for information relative to the radius of the area where the antenna is to be mounted. Table 1-5 lists the contents of each installation kit. The installation kits differ only in the size of the special airframe adapter plate. Figure 1-9 depicts the antenna dimensions.

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLATION

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The information and instructions provided in this section are directed toward fixed-wing aircraft. The complex nature of rotorcraft installations (e.g., antenna placement; composite versus metal blades, available ground plane, rotor mast interference, strike kits, etc.) requires that each installation be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before starting a rotorcraft installation, contact BFGoodrich Avionics

Systems Field Service Engineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600.

NOTE

Installation instructions for the WX-1000 processor are detailed in the

WX-1000 Installation Manual.

Installation must be made by qualified personnel, in conformance with applicable government regulations.

This information furnished is for convenience only.

2.2 UNPACKING, INSPECTION AND STORAGE

CAUTION

The display and TRC are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and may be damaged if not handled correctly. Do not remove protective covers from electrical connectors during unpacking. Touching an exposed connector may cause electrostatic damage to equipment.

Carefully unpack the system and note any damage to shipping containers or equipment. Visually inspect each component for evidence of damage. Compare the equipment received with that noted on the packing list. Immediately report any missing items or evidence of damage to the carrier making the delivery. To justify a claim, retain the original shipping container and all packing materials.

Every effort should be made to retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original containers are not available, a separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to accommodate sufficient packing material to prevent movement. The ambient temperature of the storage area should not fall below -55 °C (-67 °F) or rise above 85 °C (185 °F).

2.3 ANTENNA LOCATION

Location is an important factor for maximum antenna performance. Optimum location for a particular aircraft type is usually available from the aircraft manufacturer. In selecting a location, consider the following:

2-1

Rev. C

Directional Antenna

SKY497


The mounting site should be on the top forward fuselage, as close to the centerline as possible, and within -10° of the in-flight horizon (see figure

2-1). The optimum mounting point for maximum coverage is as far forward as possible without exceeding the -10° forward pitch. If necessary, consideration should be given to relocating other antennas to obtain the furthest forward location for the directional antenna. The antenna should be mounted on the aircraft with at least 20 dB isolation (about 30 inches) from other L-band frequency antennas and 24 inches from other antennas or obstructions. The ground-plane should be as large as possible,

BFGoodrich Avionics Systems recommends a 30-inch ground-plane diameter.

The directional antenna can be bottom mounted only if a suitable top mount location is not available. Each bottom mount installation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before starting a bottom mount installation, contact BFGoodrich Avionics Systems Field Service

Engineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600.

Figure 2-1. Directional Antenna Mounting Location

2.4 TRC LOCATION

Typically the TRC is installed in the electronics bay. In selecting a location, consider the following:

Cable Length Cable runs should be as short as practicable in order to minimize potential electrical interference. Cable length to antennas must not exceed the values listed in table 2-1.

Cooling

Pressurized Aircraft

While the TRC has no special cooling requirements, it should be mounted to permit adequate ventilation. Caution should be observed to not inhibit airflow from the rear mounted fan. Allow at least three inches (8 cm) of rear clearance.

The TRC may mount inside or outside the pressure vessel. The TRC contains no batteries or potentially explosive components and will operate up to 55,000 ft.
