Single or Dual ARINC 743A GPS Antenna and Coaxial Cable Installation
Overview
Introduction
STC ST01060CH installs single or dual GPS antenna provisions, ARINC 743A GPS antennas
and coaxial cables on 737-200/-300/-400/-500 series aircraft. Please contact the factory for a complete list of available configurations and details of the kit content.
Your needs
This STC can be used to support any modification or existing system that requires an independent position source. This STC supports the installation of an ARINC 743A GPS antenna. Any ARINC 743A GPS antenna not supported by the STC can be added via a minor change to the STC.
Your benefits
Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CarlisleIT) offers a turnkey solution to the installation of a GPS antenna. We provide all engineering and maintenance data required by the STC. Additionally, CarlisleIT can provide an installation kit providing all the materials necessary for the installation.

INSTALLATION
Installation time is approximately 8 MHrs for the antenna provisions and 16 MHrs for the coaxial cable installation. CarlisleIT can provide a turnkey installation kit providing all the materials required for the installation.
DURABILITY
All installed components do not require any regular maintenance. The STC modifies Fatigue Critical Baseline Structure (FCBS). Inspections intervals and procedures are provided in the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA). Inspection intervals are generally on the order of 10,000 cycles and are primarily dependent on the 737 model being modified.
CLEANING
No special cleaning requirements.
POWER
No power required.
LAYOUT AND DIMENSIONS
For each applicable aircraft series (737-300, 737-400, 737-500), there are two installation configurations based on aircraft line number. For the earlier series aircraft, the provisions installation includes an external doubler that spans stringers S-2L, S-1, S-2R, and provides provisions for mounting two side-by-side GPS antennas. For later series aircraft, Boeing has provided a skin “pad-up” area to install the antenna. The typical structural provisions installation for these aircraft includes an internal antenna retainer. Both configurations are depicted above.
