Cost And Time Were The Leading Factor In Achieving PMA, Company Says

Aerospace solutions company Southeast Aerospace, has been granted an FAA PMA to manufacture and distribute complex harnesses required for the Garmin G5000 installations.

The Garmin G5000 is an Advanced Flight Deck with 3 wide high-resolution displays with integrated engine indicators and crew alerting system. With full WAAS FMS integration and dual channel digital control system, the package provides the latest in satellite based navigation capabilities and digital flight management tools.

Cost and time were the leading factor in achieving PMA for the G5000 harness kit. Southeast Aerospace has led the way in fabricating harnesses that meet or exceed OEM standards and save significant manpower for avionics shops. "For some avionics shops, creating their own harness' could take up to 450 man hours, adding significant time and cost to the overall installation," said Luke Gomoll, Aircraft Modification Sales Representative.

Harnesses for the G5000 are an intricate component of the installation for Citation 560XL/XLS or the Beechjet 400A. Due to the complexity of the harness, every harness is tested using automated harness test equipment. Each wire is laser marked and connectors are tagged to facilitate straightforward installation.
