systems and equipment listed in Table 1 of this document. The FCC is housed in a panel mounted
package which slides into a rack installed behind the aircraft panel. The unit is secured in the rack
by tightening a locking rod screw accessible from the front panel. The unit uses two rear--mounted
subminiature--D shell connectors (37 pin and 50 pin) for interface to the aircraft harness. The unit
also contains a static pressure port that automatically mates into a receptacle in the rack when the
unit is installed.
