You may also have temporary instances of LOI due to the fact that the engine is operating
with a marginal constellation until it changes operational modes to fault detection only.
We are considering methods to make this fringe operation more robust without
sacrificing operational capability. This will require review of the existing TSO
requirements with the FAA and their concurrence. We’re currently collecting data and
will let you know how this engineering effort progresses.
We have also been asked about reception of EGNOS signals in Europe as they
periodically transmit test signals as they approach full deployment of EGNOS. The
CNX80 does not use EGNOS or any other space based GPS augmentation signals other
than WAAS at this time. When those systems come into service, we will evaluate the
CNX80 engine with those systems and determine compatibility with those systems at that
time.
Meggitt Magic Interface
I recently had the chance to fly a new Meggitt Magic EFIS install in a Twin Commander
with dual CNX80s and an MX20 with WSI datalinked weather. In general, the install
went very well and the overall performance was very good with the autopilot. We do not
currently cover this specific interface in the STC data, but this can typically be
accomplished through field approval without significant difficulty. The CNX80s and
MX20s may be installed via STC as well as the Magic EFIS, and only the connection
between the systems needs to be field approved. For distributors wishing to do these
installs, please advise us and we’ll support you as necessary.
