CAUTION: Penetration of the pressure vessel is not approved under this STC and will
require separate approval.
CAUTION: Mounting the RSM on the pressure vessel is beyond the scope
of this STC and requires separate approval.
6.9.3 RSM mounting on Composite or Fabric
Approval for the structural aspects of mounting the RSM to a composite or fabric
skinned aircraft, including consideration for the direct effects of lightning, is beyond
the scope of the EFD1000 AML STC. Separate FAA approval for structural and lightning
direct effects considerations is required before mounting the RSM on these aircraft
types.
Though separate approval must be obtained for the RSM structural and lightning direct
effects, installation of the remaining EFD1000 system components is approved under
the EFD1000 AML-STC. This includes HIRF and lightning induced transient
susceptibility approval of the EFD1000 system installation (i.e. display, RSM, CM, ACU,
and associated wiring).
6.9.4 Second RSM Placement (MFD)
A second RSM may be installed in preparation for a MFD1000 installation. It is
preferred to mount RSM #2 on either side of RSM #1 with a spacing of 2 inches or
more. A typical install would place the RSMs on opposite sides of the vertical
stabilizer. RSMs may be mounted fore and aft if a side by side orientation is
impractical.
6.9.5 RSM Mounting Angles
For RSM mounting the following maximum mounting angles apply.
