 TYPICAL ON-BOARD INDICATORS
The “bug” turns the bearing ring to select the
direction the pilot wants to be traveling when he
arrives at the VOR.
VOR ONLY In this case the pilot wants to fly North
toward the VOR from the South. He
would be on radial 180.
If he is directly south of the VOR, then the
needle is centered.

Bearing
ring A flag shows that he is flying north “To”
the VOR. (The “From” flag would not
be visible in this case.)

“bug” After he passes over the VOR, the “To”

flag disappears and the “From” flag
appears.

 It is not possible to equalize the phases of two different frequencies.

But, consider the Carrier and LSB frequencies.

Their mix in space creates a

beat frequency (9960 Hz). This
provides half the modulation.

The phase of the beat frequency

depends on the relative phase
of the two original signals
(Carrier and LSB).

This document contains proprietary information and such information may not be disclosed to others for any
purpose nor used for manufacturing purposes without written permission from SELEX Sistemi Integrati Inc 90 Rev -, December 28, 2007
 Now, consider the
Carrier and USB
frequencies.

Their mix in space also creates a beat

frequency (9960 Hz). This provides the
other half of the modulation

The phase of this beat

frequency also depends on the
relative phase of the two original
signals (Carrier and USB).

This document contains proprietary information and such information may not be disclosed to others for any
purpose nor used for manufacturing purposes without written permission from SELEX Sistemi Integrati Inc 91 Rev -, December 28, 2007
 If the phase of the two modulations
are the same, then they mix well in
space, causing a maximum effect on
the carrier (maximum 9960 Hz
modulation).

If the phase of the two modulations

are not the same, then they don’t mix
well in space, causing less than
optimum effect on the carrier (low
9960 Hz modulation).

This document contains proprietary information and such information may not be disclosed to others for any
purpose nor used for manufacturing purposes without written permission from SELEX Sistemi Integrati Inc 92 Rev -, December 28, 2007
 If the phase of the carrier is adjusted,
it has the opposite effect on the two
beat signals.

Movement of carrier phase

both advances one beat
signal, and retards the
other.

When the 9960 Hz modulation is at its

maximum, the Carrier to Sideband Phase
is at its optimum value.

replacing a CPU CCA. It outlines the procedures for loading the
alignment and configuration data into the new CPU.
•6.4.5 Update of DVOR Software. This should not be attempted
except at the instruction of the factory. New software may not be
compatible with old hardware.

fails during Annual Preventive Maintenance (or at any other time),
follow this procedure to replace it. This will keep the data intact.
•9.7.1 Strapping Battery Charger Power Subsystem (BCPS) for 240

•9.7.4 Checking the Battery Charger Power Subsystem for 43 or 48
Volts. Use this procedure any time the Main Voltage needs to be
checked. Especially check it after the BCPS is replaced, or after a

 Objectives of Flight Check Lecture

• How to provide ground support for a flight check

What to expect:
Prior to arrival, set the DVOR (and associated DME)
with antenna to transmitter 1.

On arrival, a flight crew normally begins a

commissioning FC with an orbit. After the orbit, you
can expect to hear the following results.

purpose nor used for manufacturing purposes without written permission from SELEX Sistemi Integrati Inc 117 Rev -, December 28, 2007
 Preparation for Flight Check
• Calibrate Transmitters 1 and 2 to produce the value of CSB
defined on the Nominal screen, measured with external
wattmeter
• Calibrate the Sideband Generators so that all eight sidebands
have the same power output, measured with external wattmeter
• Calibrate the PMDT wattmeter readings
• Perform all phasing adjustments (SB1-SB2, SB3-SB4, CSB to
Sideband)
• Perform the full checkout procedure, paragraph 6.2 of the
manual
• Adjust the transmitter values to produce ideal monitor values
on the PMDT

For one, the flight crew will

announce the Station Error, or

Adjust for Station Error by putting the

If using that number increases the error,

then change the sign of the index.

You will also be The maximum spread during Flight
