3.3 Antenna Installation
For the COM, VOR/LOC, and Glideslope antenna, follow the manufacturers’ instructions. Avoid running
other wires and coaxial cables near the VOR/LOC antenna cable.
Do not use construction grade RTV sealant or sealants containing acetic acid. These
sealants may damage the electrical connections to the antenna. Use of these type sealants
may void the antenna warranty.
