No that's not me working on that carb, that's my sister, I do avionics work.

Now to attempt to answer the question, I have been having a bit laugh at the OP's expense and so I have done a small amount research. The Standard RTCA DO-262B refers to Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics and DO-262B is: RTCA DO-262 MINIMUM OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR AVIONICS SUPPORTING NEXT GENERATION SATELLITE SYSTEMS (NGSS) CHANGE 1 TO DO-262B IRIDIUM APPENDIX D.

I have no experience with large aircraft antenna installation work but the following Advisory Circulars do address antenna installation on Large Aircraft :

http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/m...AC_20-150B.pdf
AD 20-150B
This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance on airworthiness approval for designers,
manufacturers, and installers of Satellite Voice (SATVOICE) equipment supporting air traffic service (ATS)

http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/m...C%2021-16G.pdf

This advisory circular
(AC) identifies RTCA Document No. (RTCA/DO)-160 versions
D E, F, and G,
Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment
, dated July 27, 1997, December 20, 2005, December 6, 2007, and December 8, 2010, respectively, as containing acceptable environmental qualifications to show compliance with certain airworthiness requirements.

These two AC's and some manufacturers data may give you the information you seek. I am sorry I cannot be of more help.
