The aircraft will be utilizing lightweight starter, alternator and the SD-8 as a backup power source. The engine is a Lycoming with dual electronic ignition, so reliability and redundancy are my biggest goals. Also very important is to make the electrical system as easy to use as possible. I have combined some ideas from the various architectures described in the 'Connection and have come up with the following Dual Alternator, Dual battery system. The system is essentially Z-13, but adds a second battery. The only feature that I think is new is the Essential Bus feed select switch is a 2-1, allowing the essential bus to be powered from either the main or alternate battery. Further, this switch also couples the SD-8 alternator to the battery that is selected so that the pilot won't accidentally connect it to the wrong battery. I have two additional thoughts on this circuit: 1. I thought about powering the Aux Battery contactor from the DC Power Master switch instead of a separate switch. This simplifies the system and I only see one disadvantage, in the event of a battery failure, the Main Bus can't be isolated and connected to the remaining battery. 2. I could eliminate the Aux Alternator Power switch and switch it ON/OFF from the E-Buss switch. I'm not sure what kind of switch would work for this along with it's existing duties, but then the E-Bus alt feed switch would automatically setup the E-Bus with one operation by the pilot. A possible disadvantage here is that the e-bus switch is becoming a concentrated point of failure for three functions. I'm offering up this schematic for critical review; it can be found at the following URL: http://66.159.252.83/PowerDistribution.jpg I do have one question as well: The batteries and contactors will be in the nose. That means the 2AWG wire running to the starter will be 12 feet long or so. Do I need to put some king of protection on this wire as it leaves the Contactor? It doesn't seem like a good idea to have a 2AWG wire running the length of the aircraft with no over-current protection.

The nice thing about ARINC 429 is that it multiplexes a lot of different data on to one set of data lines. In the olden days you had separate wiring for almost every knob in the aircraft. For instance, the heading bug and OBS each required four wires. Each needle and flag in an indicator required two wires. Slaving information for your remote compass required four wires. The horizontal gyro needs five wires for its synchro output. Now imagine a remotely slaved HSI with CDI, VDI, a flag for each, heading bug, OBS, and remote horizontal gyro. Now you know why it has a wire bundle coming out the back that is as thick as your thumb. All that can be carried on a single pair of wires when using ARINC 429. Instead of each set of wires carrying its own special signal, now you can digitally transmit the same information and share the same pair of wires for all the data. The wires carry the electronic message equivalent of "heading 045 degrees," "OBS set to 317 degrees," "CDI is 1.5 dots left," "GS needle is one dot low," "ground track is 043 degrees," "altitude is 4,575 feet," "altitude hold set to 4,500 feet," etc. Once you get an idea of the messages that *can* be sent over an ARINC 429 data stream you can begin to get an idea of who generates it and who might want it. > I have a GRT EFIS display as primary EFIS, MX20, 430 for com, 330 for > traffic, BMA G3 lite for backup. > > > Care to explain the difference between the serial data streams and the > ARINC? Are all serial streams created equal? No, they are not. There are many different ways to transmit data serially. RS-232 is one physical specification and then you can layer things like async, HDLC/SDLC, and other higher-layer protocols on top of that. ARINC 429 has its own electrical and data format that is not like anything else (surprise!). Ethernet is yet another serial protocol. There are boatloads of ways to send data serially and many of them are incompatible. > The 330 for example, in the installation instructions, has 4 arinc in > ports and serves as a "concentrator" to then send out to the 430. What > is in the ARINC data stream that the 430 would want? Well, I can imagine the 430 and MX20 wanting heading data from the slaved gyro compass to orient the moving map display. You want the moving map to orient to your heading so the map on the screen looks like the ground even if there is a wind correction angle. The 430, also being a VOR receiver, wants to know what your OBS is set to. If there is traffic that information needs to find its way to the display(s). > It says the EFIS > selected course would come into the 330 from the EFIS, then go out on > the ARINC data stream to the 430.

Well, neither ARINC 429 nor RS-232 (NMEA-0183 for that matter) are designed to allow two data sources to coexist. Consider that your EFIS is providing heading and OBS data while your GPS is providing position and track data to your MX20. You have two data sources and one data sink. Either the MX20 must have a separate input for each device that sources data (impractical) or you can have various devices accepting multiple inputs and then combine them on a single output. A device that does this is a 'concentrator'. ARINC 429 is actually being phased out. The 'only one talker' rule is a real pain-in-the-butt, especially given that having multiple talkers and listeners on the same buss is common now. Ethernet is a good example. Airbus has standardized on switched 100Mbps Ethernet as the standard flight instrumentation buss now. And ARINC 429's data rate of 100Kbps makes it 1000 times slower than Ethernet. This is pretty simplistic but hopefully it provides a glimmer of why one might want to use ARINC 429.

The solder-cup connectors are not especially "weaker" than the machined pin connectors. The machined pins are easier to install and if you get one in the wrong hole, you can pull it out and move it. The fine wires on a MAC actuator would probably like to be doubled back to insure enough copper in the crimp of a machined pin but which ever connector is most attractive to you will work fine.

In other words, what manner of in-flight failures are you trying to mitigate? Please understand, this is NOT an instance of "not invented here" syndrome. I perceive this as an excellent example case for conducting an FMEA . . . failure modes effects analysis where: 1. How many ways can a part fail? 2. How will each failure affect system operation? 3. How will I know it failed in flight? 4. Is the failure preflight detectable? 5. Is failure of this part, in any failure mode, likely to create a hazard to flight? 6. Will failure of this part be likely to overtax my piloting skills for comfortably terminating the flight? For review, I did a Google on FMEA and Preflight and this item was at the top of the first page: http://www.gatm.com/flying/electrical/introduction.html I was gratified to see that someone understood and embraced the concepts of failure tolerance and expanded on those to fit his/her particular situation in the modification of a Grumman Tiger. 95% of the words in this piece are my own. The goal of this exercise is two-fold. (1) to assist you in achieving your acknowledged goal of simple system reliability and (2) identify ways in which anything I've published can be improved upon. The first edition of Appendix Z was significantly different in many ways . . . all the changes were improvements deduced in studies similar to that which I am proposing for task before you. A good place to begin is to figure out which Z-drawing is most attractive to your goals, figure out where it's deficient and modify it to correct the deficiencies. There are many new readers to the List since the last time we conducted this exercise . . . obviously, you can wire your airplane any way you wish but I'd be pleased if you would indulge me in some good critical review of ALL the ideas before us with the goal of passing these skills on to others.

I added a pullable circuit breaker to disenable it should an electrical problem ever arise. You can add as many trim switches as you like. The first user gets control, so you have to be able to manually disable the co pilot if this is required.

With Matt Dralle's blessing (thank you, Matt!), I'm pleased to post this announcement for a terrific aviation fly-in weekend. SMXgig (in Santa Maria, CA) has become the year's largest face-to-face get-together of electronically networked aviators. We hope you'll plan to attend because we expect this year's gig to be the best ever. People come from all over the country (and sometimes overseas) to attend, and most of the sessions qualify for FAA Wings cards. The dates are April 22-24, 2005 (Friday-Sunday). It's a lot of fun, and a great chance for pilots from all over to mingle and share aviation stories, ideas, etc. I have had quite a few inquiries about SMXgig, especially from several groups, so I anticipate that it's going to fill up this year. The sessions are still being developed, but I will post an update when we have the roster of speakers and their sessions. The announcement below contains most of the crucial information, and you can get the rest from the website (www.smxgig.org). If you have any questions at all, just let me know, and thanks! ~Cory Emberson KHWD cory@smxgig.org >>>NOTICE TO AIRMEN<<< The Seventeenth Annual SMXgig April 22-24, 2005 PRE-REGISTRATION SMXgig 2005 will be held from April 22-24, 2005, at the Santa Maria, CA, Radisson, right on the airport ramp. Because of the anticipated demand, we'll start registration soon, and are now taking pre-registration reservations with a small ($50 per person) deposit. The deposit may be paid by check, PayPal, and all major credit cards. Of course, if the unexpected occurs and you're not able to make SMXgig after all (sniff!), your deposit will be fully refundable within the refund window (usually about two weeks before the gig). Your pre-registration and deposit will guarantee your SMXgig reservation. As soon as I have the rest of the program finalized, we'll start the regular registration process. If you believe you can make it, please reserve your spot with this pre-registration form. First come, first served! The hotel is otherwise sold out during that weekend, so it will be nice to know you've got a place in line. You do *not* need to register with the hotel - just give me your preferences, and I will take care of the reservations. SUPERSONIC SURVIVOR Hanging in the straps of his parachute and feeling the cold night air on his face, Brian Udell felt as if a freight train had collided with his body. As he struggled to inflate his life preserver before plunging into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, he realized it had shredded with the force of the supersonic windblast. With his teeth and one functioning arm, Brian feverishly retrieved a one-man life raft that hung from a fifteen-foot lanyard off his right hip only seconds before entering the water. After popping back to the surface like a bobber on a fishing line, the salt water made him painfully aware of the open wounds, cuts, and scrapes that were strewn over his broken body. The thought of blood pouring into the water inviting sharks for a late night meal motivated him to attempt to get into the partially inflated raft. As he kicked his legs, Brian's lower limbs felt as though only a thread attached them. Exhausted and unable to enter the raft, thoughts of death quickly consumed his mind. Knowing he would be unable to survive the night under the extreme conditions, Brian began to pray. The next several hours of survival and the many months of excruciating rehabilitation deliver an almost unbelievable story. Brian holds the record for surviving the highest speed ejection from a U.S. Fighter Aircraft at nearly 800 MPH. He survived four grueling hours 65 miles off the Atlantic Coast in 60-degree water, 5-foot seas, and 15 MPH winds at night. Brian's determination, perseverance, faith, and sheer will to survive is unparalleled. His story of survival, recovery, and return to the Strike Eagle is an inspiration to everyone. Brian is a very accomplished aviator. He began flying at age nine and took his first cross-country flight at age ten. Since that time he has accumulated over 4000 hours in a variety of both civil and military aircraft. He was one of only sixty candidates across the United States selected to attend the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program. Brian graduated number one in his class and was awarded the Air Training Command - Commanders Cup Trophy. Brian was one of the first Lieutenants selected to fly the F-15E Strike Eagle. He graduated from Strike Eagle training and received the top academic award. Brian went on to his operational unit where he became an Instructor, Mission Commander, and Air to Ground Top Gun winner. He has flown over 100 combat missions in Southwest Asia and logged nearly 2000 hours in the Strike Eagle. Brian received four Air Medals and three Aerial Achievement Medal for combat missions over the skies of Iraq. Brian's military career spanned ten years. He left the Air Force in 1999 and he is currently a pilot with Southwest Airlines. "Brian Udell kept us spellbound for 45 minutes. You could hear a pin drop, except when he made everyone laugh. The story of his four-hour ordeal was gripping and moving. He certainly won the audience." T. Karr, President Carolina Aero Club Just as in previous years, there will be one flat all-encompassing "gig" fee that covers all events that involve significant out-of-pocket costs for the organizers. The fee will be determined with the events is finalized (it should be about $170), and will cover: - Friday afternoon welcome party - Friday evening dinner banquet, featuring Capt. Brian Udell, Supersonic Survivor - Saturday and Sunday tech sessions - Saturday SMX-style BBQ lunch - Saturday evening events (to be announced) - Saturday evening movie extravaganza - Meeting rooms and coffee service at the Santa Maria Radisson - BFUB transportation to (and from) the Saturday evening event Lodging at the SMX Radisson will cost $89.00/night for either a single or double room, which is far below the regular hotel room rate. Be sure you check in as a SMXgig attendee and get the special rate. We have our definitive preference listed with the hotel for rampside rooms - early registration can only help, but of course, the rampside rooms are subject to availability depending on how many existing guests are in those rooms. >>>SMXgig 2005<<< April 22-24, 2005 ELECTRONIC PRE-REGISTRATION FORM When you send your pre-registration, receipt of your deposit will be noted, and your registration updated when the full registration process begins.
