WADL Aircraft Segment Installation Description
I lieu of an Installation or Users Manual this document will describe the installation of the Aircraft
Segment of the Wireless Aircraft Data Link (WADL) system manufactured and installed on
commercial aircraft by LiveTV. The WADL Aircraft segment is to be tested by BACL for
compliance under FCC Part 15C.
The WADL Aircraft Segment is certified by the FAA for installation on Airbus A-320 and A-319
aircraft. Currently held certifications are:
A-320 Supplemental Type Certification
ST01447NY
Granted: 11 February 2002
A-319 Supplemental Type Certification
ST00788SE
Last Amended: 3 December 2002
During the installation process all physical installation steps, inspections, and checkout procedures
are documented on LiveTV generated Work Orders. An example set of work orders for the A-319
are shown in an attachment to this document. The installation and certification processes are
described in general in the sections below.
Statement of Professional Installation and Certification
Aircraft Segment Statement: The WADL Aircraft Segment must be professionally installed because
each installation is custom suited to meet the demands of the specific environment. The FAA
requires a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for any changes to an existing aircraft type. When
an airline acquires WADL Aircraft Segments for installation in a specific aircraft type, the airline’s
aircraft engineering personnel meet with LiveTV engineers to jointly develop an installation drawing
package. A tray location is identified and selected from available options in the avionics equipment
bay. The best way to get power to the tray is determined and a circuit breaker is assigned in the flight
deck. Interfaces to other avionics equipment and aircraft discretes are similarly identified and
installed. All new wiring must comply with strict federal regulations and standards for installation.
A location for the aircraft antenna is chosen on the top side of the aircraft taking into
account availability, accessibility, electromagnetic compatibility, and aerodynamic efficiency. Once
defined, new drawings are created that define how the aircraft skin is penetrated and a doubler plate
installed for antenna mounting, structural support, and environmental sealing. A nearby location for
the LNA/PA is chosen between the passenger cabin and the aircraft skin. The closest stanchion is
identified and the method of mounting the LNA/PA is documented. The RF Cable is then pulled
through the aircraft to its destination. The cable is routed and restrained in compliance with specified
installation standards. The cable is cut to length and terminated at both ends. The power level at the
input to the RF Assembly is checked to make sure that it is within the input dynamic range of the
amplifier. All details of the modification are carefully documented and inspected by the FAA.
March 27, 2003
The installation is verified by using an installation test set to verify functionality. A variety
of ground tests are performed to assess the electromagnetic compatibility of the newly installed
equipment with existing flight critical equipment. An STC Aircraft Test is then performed to verify
the electromagnetic compatibility of the newly installed equipment with existing flight critical
equipment. At the conclusion, an STC package consisting of the drawing package and test data is
prepared. The STC package is then submitted for review by the FAA. Upon their approval, an STC
for the defined type of aircraft is granted. Once granted, the STC is only valid for that specific
aircraft type. If the airline desires to install the WADL Aircraft Segment in another type of aircraft,
the process is repeated. All aircraft of a specific type are modified in exactly the same fashion based
on the STC drawing package. Installations are carefully inspected and discrepancies are documented
and properly corrected.
The installation and controls process are such that the system will always be configured as
per the installation design. The FAA certification requires that all cables and system pieces be in
place per installation drawing, else the aircraft is not allowed to fly. The air transport industry
carefully controls the configuration of installed avionics equipment. The FAA issues a Supplemental
Type Certificate for the aircraft on the basis of the newly installed, tested, and approved equipment.
Any changes to the installation or hardware baseline would require their approval. LiveTV has and
will continue to state that tampering with or modifying installed equipment could result in damage to
the installed equipment and a violation of FCC regulations.
Conclusion: Taken as a whole the STC process, professional installation per documented
Work Orders, and strict FAA regulations with respect to aircraft maintenance and configuration will
insure that the system as installed and maintained will remain compliant as defined in FCC Part 15C
and verified by the TCB.
