Installation example by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott (AZ)
We got a fleet approval with FAA form 337 for our certified aircraft from the Scottsdale, AZ FSDO.
The pictures show how we attached everything to an aluminum plate and used
existing mount holes in the nose bay of the aircraft and aircraft wiring.
We did have to use the noise suppressors for this installation. They were
done back in July and August 2003 and have given us excellent service with
NO defects or failures of any kind.
