SECTION I
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
The aircraft is equipped with COM1 Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and COM2 Very High Frequency (VHF) for transmitting
and receiving speech communications. The speech communication components include the UHF transceiver, VHF communi-
cation transceiver, and antenna selector, located in the avionics bay; VHF control head, located in the right side console of the
forward cockpit; the UHF/VHF antenna, located on the underside of the aft fuselage; and the upper UHF antenna, located on
the upper fuselage aft of the canopy. The UHF/VHF key on the power control lever (PCL), controls the communications trans-
mission of the selected system. The audio panel controls the volume and selection of received audio and the up front control
panel (UFCP) controls the frequency selection.

OPERATION
The following sections contain the necessary COM1 (UHF) radio changes to the Baseline Flight Manual.

ENGINE
POWER CONTROL LEVER (PCL)
Engine power is controlled by the PCL (Figure 1-13, Baseline Flight Manual) mounted in the left console of each cockpit. The
PCLs are interconnected with a push-pull rod so that movement of one PCL moves the other. A flexible cable connects the front
PCL (electrically and mechanically) to the Fuel Management Unit (FMU). PCL friction adjustment is provided in the front
cockpit only. The PCL incorporates a cut-off gate to prevent inadvertent engine shutdown. When the PCL is moved forward to
idle during engine start, two roller bearings lock in place on the front side of a rocker cam detent to secure the gate. Each roller
bearing makes an audible click as it locks in place. Lifting the cut-off gate handle moves the rocker cam out of the way and
allows the PCL to move to the cutoff position. The PCL in each cockpit contains switches for activating the speed brake, rudder
trim, UHF and VHF communications, and intercommunications system.

INTEGRATED AVIONICS SYSTEM (IAS)

The IACs receive primary data input from the inertial reference system (IRS), air data computer (ADC), global positioning sys-
tem (GPS), VOR/ILS, distance measuring equipment (DME), traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS), Mode S tran-
sponder, radar altimeter system, VHF radio system, UHF radio system, angle of attack (AOA) computer, and engine data
manager (EDM). The IACs also provide REPEAT cockpit control. The MFDs may operate in repeat mode, such that the rear
cockpit MFD displays are slaved to the front cockpit and vice versa. The IACs also receive data from these subsystems: trim
aid device (TAD), flight data recorder (FDR), and the pitot static system. Figure 1-1 is a block diagram showing the integrated
avionics system components and the subsystems that communicate with it.

AVIONICS MASTER SWITCH

The avionics master switch is placarded AVIONICS MASTER and located on the electrical switch panel in the front cockpit.
It powers the left and center MFDs (both cockpits), IAC 2, UHF radio, ADC, DME, TCAS, RAD ALT, transponder, and the
VHF navigation radio. In conjunction with the avionics systems powered by the battery, placing the avionics master switch in
the ON position enables full integrated avionics suite operations. Navigation and primary flight information will be displayed
on the left and center display respectively. UFCP control of the remaining radio transceivers is enabled and both IACs are keyed
to begin synchronized operations. When the avionics master switch is placed in the ON position, it de-energizes electrical relays
allowing the forward and aft avionics buses to be powered by the battery and generator buses. When the AVI MSTR circuit
breaker is pulled, placing the avionics master switch in the OFF position will not turn off power to the avionics. If the battery
bus is not powered (BUS TIE switch in NORM position), the generator bus will power the forward and aft AVI generator buses
and AVI battery buses regardless of the position of the avionics master switch.

AVIONICS BAYS
Two avionics bays, located behind the rear cockpit on each side of the aft fuselage, house avionics equipment. The bays contain
two shelves each, and each bay is accessed through a side-hinged door. Figure 1-2 provides equipment locations in the avionics
bays.

ANTENNAS
Thirteen antennas (Figure 1-3) are mounted on and in the aircraft for navigation and communication. The upper TCAS antenna
is mounted to the top of the engine cowling. The upper UHF/transponder antenna is mounted on the upper fuselage aft of the
canopy. An antenna selector, located in the left avionics bay (Figure 1-43 Baseline Flight Manual), provides automatic switch-
ing between the upper UHF antenna and the VHF/ UHF communications antenna for optimum UHF transmission and reception.
The GPS antenna is mounted on the top of the vertical stabilizer. Two combination NAV/ILS antennas are mounted one on each
side of the vertical stabilizer. The lower TCAS antenna, ATC transponder antenna, VHF/UHF COMM antenna, DME antenna,
ADF antenna, and marker beacon antenna are mounted at the bottom of the fuselage. The ELT antenna is mounted inside the
dorsal fin.

INTERCOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (ICS)

Audio Control Panels
To select any audio source except ICS, push the respective control to extend it from the retracted (off) position. ICS is always
active. Rotate the control clockwise to increase volume, or counterclockwise to decrease volume. Both front and rear audio con-
trol panels include controls for UHF communications placarded COM1 and VHF communications placarded COM2; VHF nav-
igation, placarded NAV; marker beacon, placarded MRK; distance measuring equipment, placarded DME; automatic direction
finding, placarded ADF; and interphone threshold adjustment control, placarded VOX.

COMMUNICATIONS
The communications system includes a COM1 (UHF) transceiver and a COM2 (VHF) transceiver which provide voice com-
munication for air-to-air or air-to-ground communication. Control of communications transmit capability is provided by the
COM1/COM2 key toggle switch on the inboard face of either PCL (Figure 1-13 Baseline Flight Manual). To transmit on
COM1, press the toggle up; to transmit on COM2, press the toggle down.
Any time either cockpit is transmitting on VHF or UHF, the cockpit not transmitting can receive incoming transmissions on the
radio not in use (e.g., front cockpit transmitting on UHF, rear cockpit can receive incoming transmission on VHF).

COM1 - Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

The COM1 transceiver provides two-way air-to-air or air-to-ground voice communications over a frequency range of 225.00
to 399.975 MHz in 25 kHz increments (7000 channels). The audio output has automatic squelch (internally adjustable carrier
to noise) with manual disable and squelch override. When COM1 UHF mode is set to BOTH (via the UFCP or the FMS FREQ
controls), the UHF continuously monitors both the primary frequency selected and the GUARD frequency (243.00 MHz). Com-
munication frequencies and tuning functions are entered using the UFCP or MFD in the respective cockpit. If the preset database
is loaded, up to 99 preset frequencies can be selected from the IACs for retrieval by the UFCP. The active COM1 frequency is
displayed in W1 of the UFCP persistent display. Power is provided by the generator bus through a circuit breaker, placarded
COM1, located on the generator bus circuit breaker panel in the front cockpit.

COM2 - Very High Frequency (VHF)

The COM2 transceiver provides two-way air-to-air or air-to-ground voice communications over a frequency range of 118.00
to 151.975 MHz in 8.33 kHz increments (1358 channels). The audio output has automatic squelch (internally adjustable carrier
to noise) with manual disable and squelch override. Communication frequencies and tuning functions are entered using the UF-
CP, MFD, or by the VHF standby control head located in the front cockpit. If the preset database is loaded, up to 99 preset
frequencies can be selected from the IACs for retrieval by the UFCP. The active COM2 frequency is displayed in W2 of the
UFCP persistent display. Power is provided through a circuit breaker, placarded COM2, located on the generator bus circuit
breaker panel in the front cockpit and by the auxiliary battery with emergency tuning through the backup VHF control head.
