 Avoid Proximity to Metal Objects: The antennas must be at least 7 cm away from
any metal object, such as the landing gear or a battery. For example do not tie the
antenna directly onto the landing gear even if it is made of carbon. The mounting
accessories enable you to attach the antennas while leaving the required distance.
 Place the Antennas so That They Are Facing Outwards: Do not place the
antennas facing the inside of the aircraft structure.
 Place the Antennas so That They Are Still Facing the Ground When the
Aircraft Takes Flight
 Place the Antenna so That They Are Vertical (Pointing to the Ground), but Are
Perpendicular: The following diagrams show two optimal placement options in which
both antennas are facing different directions (perpendicular), achieving a 90° angle
between them.

Note: In order to achieve optimal transmission, you must also follow the Ground Unit
placement requirements described in the Placement Guidelines – Ground Unit section on
page 26.
