2. The system must utilize software version <insert version identification>.
3. A valid and compatible database must be installed and contain current data.
<Limitation for TSO-C129(AR) equipment (whether or not LAAS is also provided):>
4. The aircraft must have other approved navigation equipment installed and operating appropriate to the route of flight.
5. <Specify any additional limitations applicable to the particular installation.>
SECTION 3 - EMERGENCY/ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES No Change
ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
1. If ABC Model XXX GPS navigation information is not available or invalid, utilize remaining operational navigation equipment as appropriate.
2. If Loss of Integrity Monitoring message is displayed, revert to an alternate means of navigation appropriate to the route and phase of flight or periodically cross-check the GPS guidance to other, approved means of navigation.

APPENDIX 5. INSTALLATION OF EN ROUTE GPS EQUIPMENT FOR VFR
USE ONLY
1. GENERAL. This appendix provides guidelines fo r the installation of stand-alone GPS systems used for en route, VFR navigation only.
2. APPLICABILITY. All un-pressurized aircraft less than 6000 pounds where the modification is classified as a minor alteration.
3. TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS. Install the GPS as follows:
a. The GPS equipm ent should be lo cated in a position which is viewable and accessible to the pilot from his/her norm ally seated p osition. The installed GPS equipment should not:
(1) Restrict access to or view of any control, display or indicator;
(2) Restrict movement of the flight controls;
(3) Interfere with the pilot’s vision along the flight path; or
(4) Restrict pilot/passenger egress.
b. The installation should be carried out in accordance with the m anufacturer’s installation instru ctions, the airc raft m aintenance m anual and th e guideline s in AC43.13-2A. The installation should conform to the following requirements:
(1) Manufacturer-supplied or standard parts should be used.
(2) If a ‘non-standard’ method of instal lation is used, the m anufacturer’s recommended procedures are to be followed.
(3) The GPS mounting sho uld be te sted to ensur e that it will be res trained throughout the flight envelope.
(4) Where a modification is required to the aircraft stru cture to sh ow compliance with paragraph 3b(3), the modification is to be carried out in accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual and the guidelines in AC43.13-1B and AC 43.14-2A.
c. If required, install a remote GPS antenna as follows:
(1) Determine a suitable location for the GPS antenna on the upper fuselage.
Particular care should be taken to ensure that at leas t the m inimum separation is maintained between the GPS antenna and VHF communications and ELT antennas.
(2) Install the m anufacturer-approved G PS antenna in accord ance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions, the aircraft m aintenance manual and the guidelines in AC 43.13-2A. The GPS antenna inst allation should be test ed to ensure that it would be restrained throughout the flight envelope.
Page A5-1
Appendix 5
(3) If using an internally mounted, m anufacturer-supplied rem ote antenna, install the antenna in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure that th e antenna and associated cable will not interfere with pilo t’s vision, aircraft controls or displays, or pilot/passenger egress.
d. Install and placard an appropriately rated circuit breaker or fuse.
e. If required, install a remote GPS indicator as follows:
(1) Determine a suitable location for the G PS indicator. The indicator should be located in the instrum ent panel and readily viewable to the pilot from his/her normally seated position.
(2) Install the indicator in accord ance w ith the m anufacturer’s installation instructions, the aircraft maintenance manual and the guidelines in AC 43.13-2A.
(3) Interconnect the GPS, power supply, i ndicator and antenna (as required) in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
f. Unless the equipm ent autom atically disp lays a m essage on start-up and pilot action is required to clear the message, install the following placard in the vicinity of the GPS and in clear view of the pilot: GPS APPROVED FOR VFR USE ONLY.
g. Close the GPS circuit breaker or install the fuse.
h. Carry out a functional test of the G PS installation in a ccordance w ith th e manufacturer’s ins tallation/operation instru ctions. Checks ar e also to be carr ied out to determine satisfactory operation of all disturbe d system s, that there is no in terference between GPS and other system s, no effect on th e aircraft compass system and that there is no interference with the aircraft flight controls.
