LGA mounting angle
To whom it may concern.
The latest RTCA DO-262B will specify a mounting angle of vertical +- 1 degree therabouts.
I might agree with this for new production however a retrofit application will play hell with the crown structure along with additional ICA for corrosion inspection requirements.
This is a 15,000 dollar hole for a 2 thousand dollar antenna.
I want to put this between s2 and s3 on the left side. This is 10 degrees off vertical, sorry B747 freighter. Here a doubler will be great.
For Iridium the constallation viewing angle is 8 degrees above the horizon all the way around the airplane. My question is what is the cruise deck angle and how well are we holding roll to vertical in a typical flight excluding turns of course.
Thanks
