AVIONICS COOLING - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. General
A. The maintenance procedures that follow are for the removal and installation of the avionic cooling fan(s).
B. Airplanes with the standard avionic system, have one cooling fan for the instrument panel installed on the forward top right side
of the firewall. The fan is used to cool the different components in the radio stack.
C. Airplanes that have the Garmin G1000 (NAV III) avionics system installed, have four avionic fans. Two of the fans are installed
behind the instrument panel to help cool each Control Display Unit (CDU). One fan is installed in the top of the deck skin to help
pull hot air out from the instrument panel. The fourth fan is installed in the tailcone next to the avionics .
