2.2.1. The following document(s), in conjunction with this supplement, constitute the
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for the KRA-405B Radar Altimeter Option
system. All items must be available to the operator at initial delivery.
• Model 510 Wiring Diagram Manual
• Model 510 Maintenance Manual
• 190-00494-03 Rev A or Later Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Cessna
Citation Mustang.
• 190-00600-03 Rev A or Later Garmin G1000 Cessna Mustang Cockpit
Reference Guide.
• Avionics Wiring Diagrams as defined in Attachment 1, where 510-TBD is the
serial effectivity of the airplane.
ECR 063490, “RADAR ALTIMETER CERT - MODEL 510”, defines the requirements for
the installation of the RADAR ALTIMETER (RAD ALT) option. The KRA-405B Radar
Altimeter functions as an accurate source for altitude information during the approach
and landing phases of a flight. The RAD ALT provides this information by generating a
4.3 GHz RF signal from its transmitting antenna mounted on the bottom of the airplane.
The generated signal reflects off of the ground/water and the reflected signal is received
by a receive antenna mounted near the transmit antenna. The time delay is used to
calculate the distance the airplane is from the ground/water. This info is sent to the
G1000 system via an ARINC 429 bus to GIA 1 and GIA 2, and TCAS II (if installed).
This info is then presented to the pilot on both Primary Flight Displays. In addition to the
above, when the G1000 system, using the altitude information from the KRA-405B,
determines that the airplane is approaching the ground/water, the altitude strip on both
PFDs will be covered over with a brown background texture similar to the attitude
background texture to inform the pilot that ground/water is approaching (Radio Altitude
Ground Line).
3.2. Operation
RAD ALT is activated from the Primary Flight Display (PFD) using the softkey located
along the bottom edge of the Display. Pressing the softkeys turns the related function on
or off.
Sensor Systems supplied Antennas (P/N S67-2002-4), one transmit antenna and
one receive antenna, which are provided as Optional Equipment at S/N
510-000381 and on for the RAD ALT Option on Model 510 Mustang.
NOTE:
THE 010-00435-21 SOFTWARE IS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED
AIRPLANE.
RAD ALT Data is displayed on PFD1 and PFD2 which consists of a 10.4 inch
LCD display with 1024x768 resolution. Both are configured as a Primary Flight
Display (PFD). Both PFD’s link and display all functions of the G1000 System
during flight. The displays communicate throughout the system via a High-Speed
Data Bus (HSDB) connection.
RAD ALT Data is taken from the KRA 405B RADAR ALTIMETER, in the form of
ARINC 429 bus and transmitted to the Garmin Integrated Avionics Unit 1 (GIA 1)
and Garmin Integrated Avionics Unit 2 (GIA 2.)
RAD ALT Data is displayed on the Multi Function Display (MFD), GDU 1500, in
reversionary mode, which consists of a 15-inch LCD display 1024x768 resolution.
The GDU 1500 is configured as a MFD. The GDU 1500 communicates
throughout the system via a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) connection.
NOTE:
The Model 510 Wiring Diagram Manual listed in Table 2 below is added in this Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness Supplement. Refer to Attachment 1 for updated wiring
diagrams.

5.1. Maintenance
The KRA-405B Radar Altimeter System has been designed for “on-condition”
maintenance. For details relating to “on-condition” maintenance, refer to Honeywell
Service Memo SM #292. P/N 600-08292-0007 or Service Memo with a dash number
greater than 0007.
Testing of the system will also require the use of any commercially available one (1) foot
square or larger microwave absorber such as Eccosorb ® FS Foam.
Refer to the Wiring Diagram Manual, Chapter 20, Standard Practices, for wiring
maintenance requirements and practices. Refer to Attachment 1 for wiring diagram
definitions.
NOTE:
6.1.1. Before connecting external power source to aircraft, verify that the system power
is off by placing the BATT switch to OFF and AVIONICS master switch to OFF.
6.1.2. Adjust Ground Power Unit (GPU) for +28.5 ± 0.5 VDC and connect to airplane.
6.1.3. Verify or engage all LH and RH power J-box and LH and RH CB panel CBs.
6.1.4. Place BATT switch to BATT and AVIONICS master switch to AVN PWR.
6.2.2. Press the recessed switch (SW 1) on the front of the KRA-405B (see Figure 3:
KRA-405B Calibration Switch). When the calibration is in process, the KRA-
405B will output an altitude of 500 feet. The switch may be released as soon as
the indicator on the PFD’s display 500 feet. If the PFD’s don’t display 500 feet,
the switch has not been pressed for enough time.
NOTE:
6.3.1. For normal ON GND operation the RAD ALT display will appear as shown in
Figure 4 below.
6.4.1. Pull the RAD ALT Circuit Breaker (CB), (HC037) in the LH CB panel.
6.4.2. Verify that the RA FAIL annunciation appears above the HSI on both PFD’s as
shown in Figure 5.
6.4.3. Return the system to normal operation by pushing the RAD ALT CB (HC037) in
the LH CB panel.
6.4.4. Verify that the RA FAIL message is replaced by the 0 (+5, -0 tolerance) message
as shown in Figure 4.
6.5.1. Go to the MFD AUX – SYSTEM STATUS page. Press the RA TEST softkey as
shown in Figure 6. Verify a 50 ± 5 is shown in the radio altimeter display above
the HSI as shown in Figure 7.
6.5.2. Pull the NAV/IAU 1 primary and secondary circuit breakers. Verify 50 ± 5 remains
in the radio altimeter display above the HSI.
6.5.3. Close the NAV/IAU 1 primary and secondary circuit breakers. Pull the NAV/IAU 2
primary and secondary circuit breakers. Verify 50 ± 5 remains in the radio
altimeter display above the HSI.
6.5.4. Close the NAV/IAU 2 primary and secondary circuit breakers. Press the RA TEST
softkey again and verify a 0 (+5, -0 tolerance) is shown in the radio altimeter
display above the HSI.
6.5.5. Rotate the Rotary Test Switch to the RADALT position. Verify a 50 ± 5 is shown
in the radio altimeter display above the HSI as shown in Figure 7.
6.5.6. Rotate the Rotary Test Switch back to the OFF position. Verify a 0 (+5, -0
tolerance) is shown in the radio altimeter display above the HSI.
6.5.7. Cover the receive (port) KRA-405B antenna, copilot side antenna, with a one (1)
foot square or larger piece of microwave absorber. The KRA-405B should unlock
and the RA box above the HSI should disappear.
MICROWAVE ABSORBER.
6.5.8. While still covering the antenna, reconfirm that the self-test is operational by
repeating Section 6.5.1
6.5.9. Press the RA TEST softkey again. Verify the RA box above the HSI disappears.
6.5.10. Move the foam completely away from the antennas and verify that the radio
altimeter display reappears and indicates 0 FT (+5, -0 tolerance).
6.6.1. Place the BATT switch to OFF and AVIONICS master switch to OFF.
6.7.1. The KRA-405B Radio Altimeter system shall conform to the requirements
specified herein. Any part of the system that does not conform shall have parts
replaced or adjusted as necessary and re-tested. Adjustment or repair of supplier
equipment is permitted only with specific supplier approval. Completion of the
requirements of Section 6 defines the minimum acceptance criteria for the KRA-
405B Radio Altimeter system.
6.8. TROUBLESHOOTING
6.8.1. If any of the system components fail to pass the tests specified in Section 6 of this
ICA, then further troubleshooting must be performed to find the root cause of the
failure. After the root cause has been determined and repaired, that component
must be retested using the applicable portion of Section 6 as a guide.
6.8.2. The first step in troubleshooting is to verify aircraft wiring. If, after thorough wiring
verification, the problem still exists, then it may be necessary to replace the errant
system component.
1) If the Radio Altimeter Display indicates a value greater than 5 while the Aircraft is
on the ground, repeat Section 6.4. If calibration still fails, it may be necessary to
move the Aircraft away from any source of interference and repeat Section 6.4
again.
2) If the Radio Altimeter Display indicates 100 when the RA TEST is activated, the
systems transmitter/receiver is inoperative and repair is required.
6.8.4. After completion of troubleshooting, verify the RAD ALT functionality per Section
6.5 of the ICA.
7. AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS

7.1.2. There are no new or additional airworthiness limitations associated with this
equipment and or installation..
