POST INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
Once the unit is installed, complete the checkout procedure to verify proper operation. Refer
to the User’s Guide for operating instructions.
The steps that are not applicable to a particular installation may be skipped. A checkout log
sheet is included on page 31 to fill out during the checkout procedure. Make a photocopy of
the log sheet for ease of use if desired.
The checkout procedure is broken into several groups. The GPS Navigation Checkout, VHF
Comm Checkout (GX60/65), and the Final System Check should be completed with the
aircraft moved clear of hangers and other structures.
Mounting / Wiring Check
Verify that all cables are properly secured and shields are connected to the rear of the
mounting frame. Check the movement of the aircraft controls to verify that there is no
interference.
