SKY497Installation Manual1-1Rev. CCHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION1.1 INTRODUCTIONThis section contains a functional description of the SKY497, describes the various hardware and softwareconfigurations, outlines the main features of the system, and provides a system block diagram.NOTES1. This section provides installation information for the BFGoodrich Avionics SystemsSKY497 using the WX-1000/SKY497 Display.2. The SKY497 does not track intruder aircraft approaching at a closure rate greaterthan 900 knots.3. The SKY497 can be interfaced to an alternate display device (i.e., MFD, weatherradar indicator), contact BFGoodrich Avionics Systems Field Service Engineering at1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600 for approved displays and software versionrequired for the TRC497.4. The SKY497 can be interfaced to a weather radar indicator in place of theWX-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 asthe primary means of displaying traffic information. Refer to manufacturerinstructions 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 DESCRIPTIONThe BFG Avionics Systems SKY497 is an airborne traffic advisory system that advises the flight crewwhere to look for aircraft that may pose a collision threat. It is intended for use by corporate and generalaviation aircraft. SKY497 alerts the flight crew to nearby transponder equipped aircraft and assists thepilot 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 theCRT. Using shapes (i.e., Traffic Advisory = solid circle; Other Traffic = open diamond) and text, the displayshows the relative position of threat aircraft.
SKY497Installation Manual1-2Rev. CFigure 1-1. Surveillance Zone1.3 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONThe 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 SKY497equipment interrogates transponders in the surrounding airspace similar to ground based radars. Whenreplies to these active interrogations are received, the responding aircraft’s range, altitude, and closurerates are computed to plot traffic location and predict collision threats. Figure 1-1 shows the SKY497surveillance zone for intruding aircraft. A simplified block diagram of the main components and theirrelationships is shown in figure 1-2.

SKY497Installation Manual2-1Rev. CCHAPTER 2INSTALLATION2.1 INTRODUCTIONThe information and instructions provided in this section are directed toward fixed-wing aircraft. Thecomplex 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 beevaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before starting a rotorcraft installation, contact BFGoodrich AvionicsSystems Field Service Engineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600.NOTEInstallation instructions for the WX-1000 processor are detailed in theWX-1000 Installation Manual.Installation must be made by qualified personnel, in conformance with applicable government regulations.This information furnished is for convenience only.NOTETolerances (unless otherwise indicated):ANGLES ARE ± 1°.00 TWO PLACE DECIMALS ARE ± .02.000 THREE PLACE DECIMALS ARE ±. 0102.2 UNPACKING, INSPECTION AND STORAGECAUTIONThe display and TRC are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and maybe damaged if not handled correctly. Do not remove protective covers fromelectrical connectors during unpacking. Touching an exposed connector maycause electrostatic damage to equipment.Carefully unpack the system and note any damage to shipping containers or equipment. Visually inspecteach component for evidence of damage. Compare the equipment received with that noted on the packinglist. Immediately report any missing items or evidence of damage to the carrier making the delivery. Tojustify 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 originalcontainers are not available, a separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough toaccommodate sufficient packing material to prevent movement. The ambient temperature of the storagearea should not fall below -55 °C (-67 °F) or rise above 85 °C (185 °F).2.3 ANTENNA LOCATIONLocation is an important factor for maximum antenna performance. Optimum location for a particularaircraft type is usually available from the aircraft manufacturer. In selecting a location, consider thefollowing:
SKY497Installation Manual2-2Rev. CDirectional Antenna The mounting site should be on the top forward fuselage, as close to thecenterline as possible, and within -10° of the in-flight horizon (see figure2-1). The optimum mounting point for maximum coverage is as far forwardas possible without exceeding the -10° forward pitch. If necessary,consideration should be given to relocating other antennas to obtain thefurthest forward location for the directional antenna. The antenna shouldbe mounted on the aircraft with at least 20 dB isolation (about 30 inches)from other L-band frequency antennas and 24 inches from other antennasor obstructions. The ground-plane should be as large as possible,BFGoodrich Avionics Systems recommends a 30-inch ground-planediameter.The directional antenna can be bottom mounted only if a suitable topmount location is not available. Each bottom mount installation must beevaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before starting a bottom mountinstallation, contact BFGoodrich Avionics Systems Field ServiceEngineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600.Figure 2-1. Directional Antenna Mounting Location2.4 TRC LOCATIONTypically 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 potentialelectrical interference. Cable length to antennas must not exceed thevalues listed in table 2-1.Cooling While the TRC has no special cooling requirements, it should be mountedto permit adequate ventilation. Caution should be observed to not inhibitairflow from the rear mounted fan. Allow at least three inches (8 cm) ofrear clearance.Pressurized Aircraft The TRC may mount inside or outside the pressure vessel. The TRCcontains no batteries or potentially explosive components and will operateup to 55,000 ft.
