Flight Test Procedures; Stabilization Check - Honeywell BENDIX/KING RDR 2000 Installation Manual

BENDIX/KING
1. The test pattern should display four colored bands. Starting with the closest band
to the origin, the bands will be green, yellow, red, and magenta. The magenta band
represents the most intense level. All range marks will be visible and displayed in
blue letters (an EFIS indicator will display only one range ring).
2. The "update" action may be observed as a "ripple" moving along the outer band.
F. Set the function switch to the SBY position, then taxi the aircraft to a clear-ahead area
where metal buildings, aircraft, etc., are not in the line-of-sight within 600 yards minimum.
G. Rotate the function switch to the ON position. The indicator should automatically be in the
Wx mode and in the 80-mile range. When connected to an EFIS system the RT will come
on in the mode and range that the EFIS was shut off in. Make sure that the antenna sta-
bilization is connected.
H. Adjust the antenna tilt control up (clockwise) in small increments until a clear picture de-
velops of any local weather. Close-in ground targets may also appear in the display. At
maximum up (+15
I. Repeat antenna tilt control adjustments to check remaining ranges.
J. Rotate the function switch to SBY prior to taxi maneuvers.

FLIGHT TEST PROCEDURES

Rotate the function switch to TST. Adjust the brightness (BRT) control as necessary to evaluate
the test pattern. Basically, check that update is occurring and that the colored bands are correct.

WARNING
TESTS INVOLVING RADIATION OF RF ENERGY
BY THE RADAR ANTENNA MUST NOT BE MADE
IN THE VICINITY OF REFUELING OPERATIONS,
OR WHEN PERSONNEL ARE STANDING DI-
RECTLY IN FRONT OF THE RADAR ANTENNA.
RF ENERGY IS GENERATED IN ALL MODES EX-
CEPT STANDBY AND TEST. DO NOT ALLOW
PERSONNEL WITHIN THE MPEL BOUNDARY BE-
ING SCANNED BY ANTENNA WHEN THE SYS-
TEM IS TRANSMITTING. A SAFE DISTANCE OF
15 FEET IS RECOMMENDED.
°
), no ground targets should appear on the display.
Vertical gyro precession may be experienced during
takeoff or a prolonged aircraft maneuver.
The analog pitch and roll output levels from the ver-
tical gyro are governed by the 10, 26, or 115 Vac,
400 Hz/5 kHz or 14/28 Vdc excitation, the linearity of
the gyro, plus the ability of the gyro the follow the mo-
tion of the aircraft. The accuracy contributed by the
antenna is its ability to respond to the gyro outputs.
