CONNECTING AIRCRAFT TO THE REST OF THE WORLD
S T O R Y B Y S C O T T M . S P A N G L E R
A lmost anywhere you look today you see earbud-connected people, heads lowered, seemingly hypnotized
by the personal electronic device that occupies at least one of their hands or pockets . Whether it is an
iPod, iPhone, iPad or similar piece of technology, through some form of wireless connection, it bonds us
to the world . Unless we are in an airplane .
But this, too, is changing . The Federal Aviation Administration is reconsidering the regulations governing the
use of PEDs in flight, and a growing number of airlines are now connected (for a fee) to the Internet . Behind
the cockpit, these electronic capabilities are summarized as in-flight entertainment, and it can be a business
opportunity for avionics businesses that have or are willing to invest in the training, talent and equipment
necessary to implement it .
But pilots and aircraft owners should take note: Shops considering this opportunity
should disabuse themselves of the notion that IFE is a chance to up-sell a
system in conjunction with a cockpit avionics upgrade . Generally
speaking, this possibility only exists in smaller piston and turbine
aircraft and is limited to the first form of IFE, music delivered through
the audio panel . For years, many audio panels have featured jacks for
connecting cables, and PS Engineering has taken the next step with
its PMA8000BT audio panel, which taps a PEDs music library through
a Bluetooth connection . Aircraft equipped with XM Weather also can
connect to Sirius/XM radio .
Beyond audio panel music, installing an IFE system, especially one
with an Internet connection, embodies the complexity and cost of stepping
up to a glass cockpit, and the decision-making process that goes along
with it . Like the other avionics systems installed in aircraft, IFE systems
with Wi-Fi connectivity require a supplemental type certificate that ensures
operational and functional compatibility with the other systems installed .
An IFE system without a Wi-Fi connection requires a field approval . In

hen going places is their primary mission, amateur builders of experimental kit aircraft are investing

and in the future . Meeting the looming ADS-B mandate was a key consideration, and a reason why
almost all new panels include the systems most expensive component, a source of WAAS/GPS .
Creating a panel seems easier now than a decade ago, when builders had too many choices of first-generation

combining certified and uncertified units from different
manufacturers, getting them to talk reliably among
themselves was the primary challenge, one
reason why many builders had avionics
