 GDL 88 TSO Installation Manual    Page 2-1 190-01122-00  Rev. A  2   LIMITATIONS 2.1  Installation The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. It is the responsibility of those installing this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have separate approval for installation in an aircraft. The article may be installed only if performed under  14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements. The GDL 88 GPS/SBAS receiver, when installed with an appropriate antenna listed in Section 1.3.8, is compatible with aircraft equipped with SATCOM when installed in accordance to this manual.
 Page 3-2  GDL 88 TSO Installation Manual Rev. A  190-01122-00  3  INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Always follow acceptable avionics installation practices per AC 43.13-1B, AC 43.13-2B, or later FAA approved revisions of these documents. The GPS/SBAS installation instructions have been prepared to meet the guidance material contained in AC 20-138A “Airworthiness Approval of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Equipment.” The communications installation instructions have been prepared to meet the guidance material defined by AC 20-67B, “Airborne VHF Communications Equipment Installations.”  3.1  Antenna Considerations This section contains mounting location considerations for the antennas required for the GDL 88 units.  For mounting the GPS/SBAS antenna, refer to FAA approved data. For mounting the NAV antennas, refer to the aircraft manufacturer‟s data. 3.1.1  GPS Antenna Location The GPS/SBAS antenna is a key element in the overall system performance and integrity for a GPS/SBAS navigation system. The mounting location, geometry, and surroundings of the antenna can affect the system performance and/or availability. The following guidance provides information to aid the installer in ensuring that the most optimum location is selected for the installation of the GPS antenna. The installation guidelines presented here meet the intent of AC 20-138A section 16. The greater the variance from these guidelines, the greater the chance of decreased availability. Approach procedures with vertical guidance are the most sensitive to these effects. LNAV only approaches, terminal operations, and en route operations may also be affected. Because meeting all of these installations guidelines may not be possible on all aircraft, these guidelines are listed in order of importance to achieve optimum performance. Items 3 below are of equal importance and their significance may depend on the aircraft installation. The installer should use their best judgment to balance the installation guidelines. Figure 3-1 shows the recommended placement of antennas. 1.  Mount the antenna as close to level as possible with respect to the normal cruise flight attitude of the aircraft.  If the normal flight attitude is not known, substitute the waterline, which is typically referenced as level while performing a weight and balance check. 2.  The GPS antenna should be mounted in a location to minimize the effects of airframe shadowing during typical maneuvers.  Typically mounting farther away from the tail section reduces signal blockage seen by the GPS antenna.   3a.  The GPS antenna should be mounted no closer than two feet from any VHF COM antenna or any other antenna which may emit harmonic interference at the L1 frequency of  1575.42 MHz. An aircraft EMC check (reference VHF COM interference check in Post Installation Checkout procedures) can verify the degradation of GPS in the presence of interference signals. If an EMC check reveals unacceptable interference, insert a GPS notch filter in line with the offending VHF COM or the (re-radiating) ELT transmitter. NOTE When mounting a combination antenna (ex. GPS and COM, GPS and XM), the recommended distance of two feet or more is not applicable to the distance between the antenna elements provided the combination antenna is TSO authorized and has been tested to meet Garmin‟s minimum performance standards.
 GDL 88 TSO Installation Manual    Page 3-3 190-01122-00  Rev. A  3b. The GPS antenna should be mounted no closer than two feet from any antennas emitting more than 25 watts of power. An aircraft EMC check can verify the degradation of GPS in the presence of interference signals. 3c.  To achieve the best possible low-elevation antenna gain (by minimizing pattern degradation due to shadowing and near-field interaction), the GPS antenna must be mounted with clearance from other antennas, including passive antennas such as another GPS antenna or XM antenna.  When practical, installers will use 12 inch center-to-center spacing between antennas.  If 12 inch spacing is not practical, installers will use the maximum center-to-center spacing from adjacent antennas, but never less than 9 inch center-to-center spacing.  Spacing less than 9 inches center-to-center results in unacceptable GPS/SBAS antenna pattern degradation. 4.  To maintain a constant gain pattern and limit degradation by the windscreen, avoid mounting the antenna closer than 3 inches from the windscreen. 5.  For multiple GPS installations, the antennas should not be mounted in a straight line from the front to the rear of the fuselage.  Also varying the mounting location will help minimize any aircraft shading by the wings or tail section (in a particular azimuth, when one antenna is blocked the other antenna may have a clear view).

 Page 4-6  GDL 88 TSO Installation Manual Rev. A  190-01122-00 4.7  Equipment Mounting 4.7.1  Unit Replacement 4.8  Antenna Installation and Connections This section provides information on the antenna cable installation. Refer to 3.1 herein for installation location considerations. SUGGESTION: Temporarily locate the GPS/SBAS antenna with coax connected to the GTN unit and check the GPS/SBAS performance as described in Section. Once a suitable location has been verified, then permanently mount the antenna.  Once the antenna mounting position has been prepared, route the coax cable from the antenna to the GTN unit. Proper selection of coax cable and assembly of connectors is critical to GPS signal performance. Cable loss from the GPS/SBAS antenna must be between 1.5 dB and 6.5 dB in order to maintain proper rejection to interference signals.   Coaxial connectors and adapters, such as TNC to BNC, add additional loss to the cable and should be considered when computing the cable loss. A typical loss of 0.2 dB can be used for each connection. To maintain integrity of the SBAS signal, the GPS antenna coaxial cable must have a minimum of two shields (e.g. RG-400 or RG-142B). NOTE If RG-142B or RG-400 is used, 1.5 dB equates to a length of approximately 6.5 feet of cable with a connector on each end.  RG-142B or RG-400 cable can be used as long as the length is less than 35 feet. For longer lengths, use low-loss double or triple shielded 50  coax. For very short runs, where the loss is less than 1.5 dB, additional cable should be used to increase the loss to within 1.5 dB to 6.5 dB.  This additional cable may be coiled, taking into account the minimum bend radius of the cable. During the post-installation checkout, susceptibility to harmonics of VHF COM transmitters will be evaluated. If problems arise, then better isolation, or distance, may be required between the GPS and COM antennas, or a 1575.42 MHz notch filter may be installed in series with the antenna coax of the VHF COM transceiver to reduce or eliminate the harmonic interference. A notch filter for this use  (P/N 330-00067-00) is available from Garmin.  If a VHF COM transmitter causes problems with the GPS on the selected frequencies as listed in the post-installation checkout, the problem may be due to the ELT. This can be verified by disconnecting the ELT antenna coax at the ELT unit. If the ELT is found to cause the problem, then contact the ELT manufacturer or replace the ELT.
