Interface Incompatibility
with Certain Navigation
Receivers/ Converters
It has been determined that an interface incompatibility may exist in certain
NSD-360 Compass System installations that ---
do not use the Edo-Aire Mitchell
AK423, 1C707, or 1C707-1 VOR/Localizer Converters.
The affected NSD-360 Compass Systems contain one of the following navigation
instruments:
P/N 52D136-0020 52D136-1020 52D137-1020
52D136-0120 52D136-1120 52D137-1120
52D136-0220 52D136-1220 52D137-1220
The interface incompatiblity does not exist with systems using navigation
instruments other than those listed above, nor with the NSD-360A Compass
Systems. The NSD-360A systems do not use any of the navigation instruments
listed above.
The interface incompatibility also does --not exist with the ARC IG832-( ) or
IG895-( ).
In those installations where the incompatibility does exist, it is possible
for a defective VOR Navigation Signal that is not suitable for navigation
to be displayed with the navigation (NAV) flag hidden from view thus indi-
cating to the pilot that the signal is
- reliable when in fact it --is not
reliable.
The incompatibility is caused by the NSD-360 being designed to be used with
VOR/LOC Converters having a "gated" To-From function. A gated To-From out-
put is one that is blocked during NAV flag visible conditions thus preventing
display of the "TO" arrow or "FROM" arrow. A gated To-From is required so
that the combined To-NAV-From meter in the NSD-360 will give correct infor-
mation when unsatisfactory navigation signals are present.

EFFECTIVE WITHIN THE NEXT FIFTY FLIGHT HOURS:
The NSD-360 is not to be used as a primary IFR VOR/Localizer Navigation
instrument, unless it is used with an Edo-Aire Mitchell AK423, Omni Con-
verter, P/N 1C707, or P/N 1C707-1. The VOR/Localizer Left-Right data may
continue to be used but displayed Flag information must be cross checked
with the #2 system to assure validity of the presentation. The Compass
Data, and Glide Slope Data displayed on the NSD-360 --are not affected and
may continue to be used as primary IFR instrumentation. This restriction
may be removed by installing a NAV Flag Adapter, P/N 1C775, furnished with
Parts Kit PKMB-13. Parts Kit PKMB-13 will be furnished at no charge.
For the affected aircraft, Placard, P/N 138895, must be installed on the
instrument panel, as close as practical to the NSD-360 Navigation Instru-
ment, prior to any further I.F.R. flight, or until the restriction is
removed by installation of the NAV Flag Adapter, P/N 1C775.
INSTALLATION OF NAV FLAG ADAPTER, P/N 1C775:
1. The 1C775 NAV Flag Adapter is a small light weight unit (0.3 lb.).
It is to be mounted on existing structure between the instrument panel
and forward cabin bulkhead or firewall, near the rear of the NSD-360
Navigation Instrument.
2. Using Drawing No. 1C775 as a guide, locate an area with sufficient space
and structure to support the NAV Flag Adapter, and mark and drill two
. 173 dia. (No. 17 drill) holes.
3. Secure the unit to the aircraft structure, using two each of the 8-32
screws, washers, and nuts supplied with PKMB-13.
4. Drawing No. 63D337-2 shows the interconnect wiring between the NSD-360
navigation instrument and the 1C775 NAV Flag Adapter. The four wires
indicated, which are a part of the cable bundle to CD-106 of the NSD-360,
are to be intercepted as close as feasible to CD-106, and the leads of
Adapter Cable, P/N 30C550, are to be connected as shown on Drawing No.
63D337-2. Plug the CD-151 Plug of the 30C550 Cable into the CD-151
Receptacle of the 1C775 NAV Flag Adapter. Route the cable to CD-106
of the NSD-360, leaving sufficient service loop to adequately secure the
cable. Cut the wire leads to the proper length and connect to the NSD-360
cable leads as shown using eight 29S59 butt splices. The ground lead of
the 30C550 Cable should be routed to a convenient airframe ground. The A+
lead should be connected to the circuit breaker of the navigation receiver
that is associated with the NSD-360.
circuit breaker!

5. All cables should be routed clear of flammable fluid and oxygen lines.
Secure cables to airframe with AN742 cushion clamps within a maximum
spacing of 18 inches to prevent damage and allow full freedom of controls.
All open cable connections and interconnections, shall be protected with
a suitable insulating sleeve which shall be secured in accordance with
good aviation wiring practices. Polyvinyl chloride sleeving material is
an acceptable insulator. Ref. AC 43.13-18, Chapter 11.
Approved Edo-Aire Mitchell Distributors may apply for labor reimbursement
for the installation of PKMB-13. This labor reimbursement is for a maximum
of two hours at approved labor rates per aircraft installation, and is avail-
able only through approved Edo-Aire Mitchell Distributors. Flight Adjustment
should not be required as a result of this modification.
When ordering the Parts Kit and/or submitting claims for labor reimbursement
under this Service Bulletin, MB-13, the following information must be included:
1. Aircraft Owners Name.
2. Aircraft Model, Serial Number, and Registration Number.
3. NSD-360 Navigation Instrument Part Number.
4. NSD-360 Navigation Instrument Serial Number.
If the above data is not available at the time of order, the PKMB-13 will be
shipped at $75.00 net, to be credited to customer's account when the data is
received by Edo-Aire Mitchell.
Where Placard, P/N 13A895, is installed in lieu of NAV Flag Adapter, P/N
1C775, this service bulletin shall be placed with the aircraft service
records, and a log book entry made to reflect compliance with Edo-Aire
Mitchell Service Bulletin, MB-13. The placard is attached to this service
bulletin, however, an additional placard may be obtained from Edo-Aire
Mitchell at no charge if it is lost or destroyed.
Where the NAV Flag Adapter, P/N 1C775 is installed, this service bulletin
shall be placed with the aircraft service records and a log book entry
made to reflect compliance with Edo-Aire Mitchell Service Bulletin, MB-13.
