1. Scope
I

This document provides the interface details of Radio Magnetic Indication (RMI) Display unit
(DU) with AHRS and VOR system on Cheetah/Chetak/Cheetal helicopters.

2. Introduction:
Radio Magnetic indication display unit (RMI DU) is developed using the RAM DU hardware
and with the change of software to interface with AHRS and VOR system on H/c. The
ARINC signal of AHRS and VOR system required to be interface with RMI DU. This
document describes the signal detail for the same.
