Mr. KC Ostronik owner of the aircraft proposes this one time alteration for installation of a Radar Altimeter and associated system, The alteration includes a Bendix/king KRA io[10A Radar Altmmeter system mstallation, which is ‘manufactured by Honeywell International inc. formerly known as AlliedSignal Aerospace. The Radar Altimeter provides the above ground-level (AGL) alttude i.e. height of the aircraft from the ground or from an ‘object, such as a tower or a building. This supplemental information provided to the pilot in addition to the primary altitude altimeter. The KRA 10/108 Radar Altimeter system provides the AGL altitude information from 20 feet to 2500 feet. This adsitional information assists the pilot during landings and minimizes the effects of hard landings that can occur with fluctuating analog altimeter readings. The applicant KC Mr. Ostronik has contracted DERS Group Svc LLC. (DERS Group) located at 144 Grays Creek Drive, Savannah, Georgia 31410, to act as its agent and manage this certification project and provide the FAA with all necessary documentation in support ofthis alteration. ‘This 15a one time alteration and only applicable to the below specified arcraft seral number: Table 1 Applicability Svan cd TS oar a2 ray ‘Sky Enterprises, inc.

Evidence The instalation of the radar altimeter system provides the AGL altitude information, which 1s supplemental to the altitude information provided by the existing primary altimeter instrument. The Radar Altimeter indicator knob allows to set the Decision Height (DH) and adjusts the DH altitude. DH indicates the altitude at which the DH lamp and DH audio will be activated during descent. The indicator lamp lights when the altitude has decreased to DH setting and remains lit below that altitude. A two second 1kH2 audio tone is sent to the audio panel each time the DH lamp lights. The indicator lamp will extinguish when altitude (s again above OH. Hence the radar altimeter system alter the crew in timely manner if aircraft altitude decrease below set decision height.

Installation 6 SAFETY ASSESSMENT 61 Introduction ‘This section provides a qualitative safety assessment related to the installation of Bendixking KRA 10/104 Radar Altimeter system and investigates in reference {o failure conditions, theur classification, probability and their effects, and overall system safety level. 6.2. System Description ‘The system considered under this safety assessment is altimeter system, with newly installed KRA 10/104 Radar Altimeter ‘and its associated system. The Radar Alt meter provides the above ground-level (AGL) altitude 1.e. height of the aircraft from the ground or from an object, such as @ tower or a building. This is supplemental information provided to the pilot in addition of the primary altitude altimeter. Thus additional information assists the pllot during landings and minimizes the effects of hard landings that can occur with fluctuating analog altimeter readings. There have been no changes to the other ‘existing aircraft system for the installation of this system. 6.3. Functional hazard assessment (FHA) This section provides a systematic, comprehensive examination of the altered fuel system functions to identify potential ‘minor, mayor, hazardous, and catastrophic failure conditions that may arse 2 a result of a malfunction or 8 failure to function. The severity is a quantitative measure of the worst possible degree of personal injury, property damage, or system damage, which can result from a failure mode, The possible seventy categories defined in FAA Advisory Circular AC 25.1309HE are provided n Table 2. 6.341 Table 3 ~ Severity Class and Description San Fallure condition, which prevents continued safe fight and landing, and for whichno effective actions ‘realistically possible.

Failure condition which does not significantly reduce alrcraft safety andlor mwvolve crew actions that are wellwithin thew capabilities. Minor fallure conditions may inclucie for example, a slight reduction m safety ‘margins or functional capabilities, a shght increase in crew workload, such as a routine finght plan change ‘or some inconvenience to occupants. Failure conditions that would have no effect on safety (that is failure conditions that would not affect the operational capability of the airplane or increase crew workload). Below are the failure conditions that have been identified relatedto the alteration. i | 2014 | DERS Group Svc LLC | 144 Grays Creek Drive | Savannah, Georgia 31410 | (425) 2903100 |eS St Teac 18 SI cUCleCoday 6.4 Safety Assessment 6.4.1 Table 4 ~Fallure Condition re cere eee] a erenerrer aay re err eres ion core ore Loss of the any component Loss of electricity Extremely Remote| of radar altmeter system + Malfunction of any component of radar altimeter system The installed radar altimeter system 1s maintained on the basis of ‘OnCendition’ maintenance process. This maintenance Process ensures that the parts of the altimeter system checked periodically to determine whether it can continue in service. This ensures that the inflight falure of the system is extremely remote. Loss of any component of radar The radar altimeter system wont be able to supply the altitude information to altimeter system pilot but stl pilot will have the altitude information from the primary altimeter. The failure of altimeter system or any of its components result in n-avallabilty of the supplemental AGL altitude formation and it wil not affect the continue safe fight as pulot will stil have the altitude information from the primary altimeter instrument. The n-aveilabilty of the supplemental AGL altitude information will not increase in work load on the crew, 25 crew wil stil have altitude information from primary instrument, 6.5 Conclusion - Criticality Determination VY The safety assessment provided in this section shows that the fallure condition is extremely remote and failure condition does not have any safety concern and does not result in crew work load. So, this alteration does not have any adverse effect on the previously established safety level. Hence the altered arrcraft maintains the same level of safety as the origmal design. Therefore, It is concluded that the electric fuel pump installation on RC+3 SIN 129 is in compliance with § 23.1309. 6.6 Electric Power Load Analysis The RC3 SIN 129 electrical system is capable of supplying 40 amp of electricity. The KRA 10/104 Rader Altimeter system Fequire total of ~ 260ma (RYT ~ 200mA + Indicator ~ 6omA) of electric current. The total of ~ 260mA electric load on a 40 ‘amp electric system can be considered as not appreciable.
