REFLECTOR: Where to put your AHRS

[Craig and/or Denise Woolston]

Hiroo-

 

  We have both GRT and BM EFIS(es).  The AHRS for the BM is built in at the
panel, the GRT AHRS is on a shelf just behind the panel on top o the keel.
Each respective magnetometer is a strake end.  10 hours on the plane, so far
no issues with attitude/heading.  I will admit we are chasing some
electrical gremlin, in the engine instrumentation (which is GRTs EIS 6000),
and that is if you transmit on the radio all the EGT/CHTs drop 150 degrees.

For those who are flying with AHRS / Magnetometer...

 

Where did you put yours?

 

It appears that the woes I have been having with my attitude indication
might have something to do with the proximity of ny AHRS to the engine /
mags, etc.

 

The thing is, though...  On the nose, there is the big battery pushing a lot
of electrtons.  Back where I have it is close to engine and mags.  Over on
the strake is where the flasher power units are...  Where did you put yours?
Any experience with good and bad?

 

Hiroo
