force. The amplitude and frequency of vibration of the aircraft structure will vary considerably with the type of aircraft. Avionics equipment is sensitive to mechanical shock and vibration and is normally shock mounted to provide some protection against in-flight ... vibration and landing shock. Special shock mounted racks are often used to isolate avionics equipment from vibrating structure. [Figure 11-158] Such mounts should provide adequate isolation over the entire range of expected vibration frequencies. When installing shock mounts, assure…

Pitot-Static Systems Some of the most important flight instruments derive their indications from measuring air pressure. Gathering and distributing various air pressures for flight instrumentation is the function of the pitot-static system. Pitot Tubes & Static Vents On simple ... aircraft, this may consist of a pitot-static system head or pitot tube with impact and static air pressure ports and leak-free tubing connecting these air pressure pick up points to the instruments that require the air for their…

Installation of Aircraft Antenna Systems Knowledge of antenna installation and maintenance is especially important as these tasks are performed by the aircraft technician. Antennas take many forms and sizes dependent upon the frequency of the transmitter and receiver to which ... they are connected. Airborne antennas must be mechanically secure. The air loads on an antenna are significant and must be considered. Antennas must be electrically matched to the receiver and transmitter that they serve. They must also be mounted…
