KI202 VOR/LOC Indicator (NAV2) Calibration on Model 13X with ADDS
This procedure is written for Frasca models 131 and 132 equipped with ADDS terminals.
KI202 VOR/LOC Indicator (NAV2) Calibration on Model 13X with GISt
This procedure is written for Frasca models 13x equipped with GISt It is assumed that NAV l (HSI) OBS has been properly calibrated at the Servo board. Perform each step in sequence to ensure proper calibration of the KI202 for use in this flight training device.
ADDS 1010 Terminal Factory Default Settings
Press [CTRL] + [F1] to enter the menu. Make sure that the following values are set:
Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) Calibration on Model 131/132/135
Calibrate the VSI by adjusting a trim potentiometer on the back of the instrument. The VSI indication should agree with the value shown on the Instructor Monitor within 100 FPM.
Turn and Slip Indicator Calibration on Model 131/132/135
The Turn & Slip indicator is two meter-movement instruments in one. Calibrate each indicator by adjusting a trim potentiometer.
Throttle Control Calibration on a Frasca Model 135
The pilot actuates the Model 135 throttle control with a twist grip on the end of the collective lever. The potentiometer is inside the throttle grip. Adjust at the control by inserting a small flat blade screwdriver into the end of the throttle grip plug.
Rudder Pedal Calibration on Models 131/132 / Anti-Torque Pedals on a Model 135
Adjust the rudder pedals (Model 135 anti-torque pedals) potentiometer by loosening the setscrew on the pivot arm and rotating the potentiometer shaft at its position on the rudder pedal assembly.
Phase Circuitry Calibration on Model 131/132/135
Phase comparator circuitry calibration affects the directional gyro and the NAV 1 (standard indicator or HSI) and NAV 2 omnibearing selector (OBS) calibration.
NAV1 and NAV2 OBS Calibration on Model 131/132/135
Calibrate the NAV 1 and 2 OBS at the instrument after calibrating the phase comparator circuitry. The OBS indication on the instructor’s station monitor should agree with the instrument setting within 3 degrees.
