Table 2. Maintenance Intervals for Antennas Replaced Under this STC
GPS Antenna(s)
(Only if antenna is
installed by this STC)
An electrical bonding test must be performed on antennas
installed by this STC.
1. Gain access to the antenna installation.
2. Disconnect coaxial cable(s) from the antenna connector(s)
3. Measure the resistance between the antenna connector
and a nearby exposed portion of conductive aircraft
structure (example: exposed rivet)
4. Verify the resistance is equal to or less than 10 milliohms
per Eurocopter Standard Practices Manual (MTM 20-02-
07).
5. Reconnect the coaxial cable(s) to the antenna
connector(s) and ensure it is secured.
In the event of bonding test failure, remove antenna, and clean
and prepare the mating surfaces and hardware as follows:
For antennas that are secured with nuts and bolts, clean the
fastener hole in the antenna and the underside of the fastener
head itself. Prep the area underneath the washer on the inner
mold line of the skin in accordance with Eurocopter Standard
Practices Manual (MTC 20-02-07-401). If nutplates are used
in lieu of a nut, the technician is only required to clean the
underneath of the fastener head and the fastener hole.
For antennas that use stud mounts, prep the area underneath
the washer on the inner mold line of the skin in accordance
with Eurocopter Standard Practices Manual (MTC 20-02-07-
401).
Re-install using unit replacement procedures in the GTN
