GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical and electrical characteristics
of the Global AFIS unit. General system installation information is also included.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Airborne Flight Information System (AFIS) consists of the following aircraft components: Data
Management Unit, Antenna Switching Unit (optional), Data Transfer Unit (optional), Satellite
Communication Unit (optional), High Power Amplifier/Low Noise Amplifier (optional), Satellite
Antenna (optional), Configuration Module and ARNAV MFD5115 RPU (optional).
The Data Management Unit (DMU) is a standard 1/2 ATR short unit. The DMU formats data
received from the DTU, VHF network or Satellite network. The DMU formats data for sending to
the ground from the aircraft using the VHF or Satellite network. The data is presented to the flight
management system interfaced to the DMU for display on a CRT/CDU. The DMU incorporates a
data quality VHF transceiver. The transceiver is tuned automatically by the DMU to use the
appropriate VHF ground station for the purpose of transmitting data to and receiving data from the
Global Data Center while in flight. The DMU can select between the VHF data network and a
satellite network automatically if the DMU is connected to a satellite network. The DMU is capable
of interfacing with one to six flight management systems. The DMU can be interfaced to two
printers as well as two personal computers.
The Antenna Switching Unit (ASU) is a small box that is required for those installations where the
DMU VHF transceiver is to share an existing VHF communication antenna. The ASU contains
switching circuitry which allows the DMU transceiver to share a common antenna with an external
VHF communication transceiver. In receive mode both receivers are connected to the antenna. In
transmit mode, only one of the transmitters is connected to the antenna at any one time. The ASU
switches the transmit side of the antenna between the DMU data transmitter and the voice
transmitter. Pressing the AFIS annunciator on the instrument panel switches the transmit side of
the antenna to the DMU transmitter. Pressing the annunciator again or pressing the “push-to-talk”
button on the VHF communication radio switches the transmit side of the antenna back to the
voice transmitter.
The Data Transfer Unit (DTU) is a 3.5 inch micro floppy disk unit. It can be mounted on 5.75 inch
DZUS rails or bulkhead mounted with a tray. The DTU contains a microfloppy drive, drive
electronics and control logic. The DTU is used to read AFIS flight plans and weather from a disk
inserted in the DTU. The disk is read by the DTU and the data is transferred to the Data
Management Unit. A ground-to-air transmitted AFIS flight plan can also be written to a disk by the
DTU as the flight plan is received by the Data Management Unit. The DTU is optional. If a
customer does not choose to load information from the disk then the DTU is not required.

Global
AIRBORNE FLIGHT INFORMATION SYSTEM
The Satellite Communication Unit (SCU) is an ATR rack mounted unit. The SCU incorporates a
satellite transceiver and instructions for transmitting to and receiving from the satellite “C” network.
The SCU also contains information which allows it to tune to the appropriate satellite operating
region automatically and to the appropriate ground station. The SCU is optional. If a customer
does not choose to use satellite “C” operation then the SCU is not required.
The High Power Amplifier/Low Noise Amplifier (HPA/LNA) amplifier is a bulkhead mounted unit.
The HPA/LNA amplifies transmitted and received satellite “C” information while minimizing noise
and is connected between the SCU and a Satellite antenna. The HPA/LNA is required if the SCU
is installed.
The Satellite Antenna is designed to meet Inmarsat system specifications for satellite “C” system
operation and is required if the SCU and HPA/LNA are installed. The Satellite Antenna is
connected to the HPA/LNA.
The Configuration Module is mounted on the rack of the DMU. The Configuration module is a
nonvolatile memory that provides to the DMU, at power up, items that are related to the customer
aircraft such as tail number, aircraft basic operating weight, number of flight management systems
and selectable features such as on-off reporting, on-ground position reporting available to the
customer.
The ARNAV MFD 5115 RPU (Remote Processing Unit) is mounted in a frame assembly. The RPU
supplies AFIS™ weather graphical data to the GNS-XLS. If a customer does not choose to use
AFIS™ weather graphical data services then the RPU is not required.

The basic system interconnect wiring is shown in Figure 3-1 through Figure 3-31 and the
connectors for each system component are shown in Figures 3-32 through 3-43.
Transmitter designation applies to the signal function for that unit. Example, a DMU transmitter (H)
and (L) will connect to a DTU receiver (H) and (L).
All signal and power shields are to be grounded at one end, preferably at the point of origination
and shield continuity shall be maintained through bulkhead disconnects.
All digital data shields are to be grounded at both ends and shield continuity shall be maintained
through bulkhead disconnects.
NOTE:
This equipment has been designed to be installed in aircraft locations where it is
not subjected to falling water (generally the result of condensation), rain, or
sprayed water in the course of normal aircraft operations.
