UPGRADE TO GPS-4000S

SYNOPSIS OF CHANGE

This Service Bulletin has been revised to announce the upgraded RCI GPS-4000S P/N 822-2189-002, which
replaces GPS-4000S P/N 822-2189-001.

• Airplanes that have not complied with the original issue of this Service Bulletin should accomplish this
revision to replace GPS-4000 with GPS-4000S, or upgrade GPS-4000A to GPS-4000S.

• Airplanes that have complied with the original issue of this Service Bulletin (which installed the GPS-
4000S P/N 822-2189-001), should not comply again with this Service Bulletin, but should instead
accomplish the new and simultaneously issued Recommended Service Bulletin 34-3992, NAVIGATION -

The export of these commodities, technology or software are subject to the U.S. Export
Administration Regulations. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited. For guidance on
export control requirements, contact the Commerce Department's Bureau of Export
Administration at http://www.bis.doc.gov.
Both classes are available on the web at http://pubs.hawkerbeechcraft.com and mailed to:
(a) Owners of record on the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch List and the HBC
Safety of Flight Information (SOFI) List.
(b) Those having a publications subscription.

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) issues Service Information for the benefit of owners
and fixed base operators in the form of two classes of Service Bulletins. The first class,
Mandatory Service Bulletins (red border) includes changes, inspection and modifications that
could affect safety or crashworthiness. HBC also issues Service Bulletins with no red border
which are designated as either recommended or optional in the compliance section within the
bulletin. In the case of recommended Service Bulletins, HBC feels the changes,
modifications, improvements or inspections will benefit the owner/operator and although
highly recommended, Recommended Service Bulletins are not considered mandatory at the
time of issuance. In the case of Optional Service Bulletins, compliance with the changes,
modifications, improvements or inspections is at the owner/operator's discretion.
Information on Safety of Flight Information (SOFI) or subscription can be obtained through
the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Technical Manual Distribution Center (TMDC). As
Mandatory Service Bulletins and Service Bulletins are issued, the Service Bulletin Master
Index will be updated and available online at http://pubs.hawkerbeechcraft.com. Warranty
will be allowed only when specifically defined in the Service Bulletin and in accordance with
HBC Warranty Policy.
Unless otherwise designated, HBC Mandatory Service Bulletins, Service Bulletins and HBC
Kits are approved for installation on HBC airplanes in original or HBC modified configurations
only. HBC Mandatory Service Bulletins, Service Bulletins and Kits may not be compatible
with airplanes modified by STC installations or modifications other than HBC approved kits.

SERVICE BULLETIN
B. Reason

This Service Bulletin is being issued: 1) to allow replacement of the RCI GPS-4000 with the RCI GPS-
4000S; or 2) to upgrade the RCI GPS-4000A to RCI GPS-4000S.

The RCI GPS-4000S provides increased GPS accuracy and improved availability. In addition, the GPS-
4000S allows airports with only GPS approach capability to be used as alternates and allows AC 90-100A
Area Navigation (RNAV) operation without performing pre-dispatch Receiver Autonomous Integrity
Monitoring (RAIM) prediction. The RCI GPS-4000S will be required for operators to take advantage of
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and Localizer Performance Vertical (LPV) guidance approach
capability upon availability in a future Flight Management System (FMS) upgrade option.

C. Description

This Service Bulletin provides instructions for the removal of the existing RCI GPS-4000 or GPS-4000A
Receiver/Sensor Unit(s) and disposition as follows:

• The GPS-4000 Receiver/Sensor Unit(s) cannot be upgraded and must be replaced.

• The GPS-4000A Receiver/Sensor Unit(s) will be sent to RCI for incorporation of Service Bulletins
GPS-4X00( )-34-501 and GPS-4X00( )-34-502 to accomplish the conversion to the GPS-4000S
configuration.

The GPS-4000S requires one P/N CI 401-220 antenna for each receiver/sensor unit. All other GPS
antennas must be replaced.

D. Compliance

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation considers compliance to be at the owner’s/operator’s option.

E. Approval

The engineering data contained in this Service Bulletin is FAA approved.

This modification is classified minor per FAA Order 8110.52.
Prior to accomplishment, owners/operators of airplanes registered in countries other than the United
States shall consult with their local Aviation Regulatory Authority.
