L-1011 Trainer Installation: INU CDU and ATC Transponder Power-Up

L-1011 Litton INU CDU

Today Jim Blasco and myself installed a number of items into the simulator. We installed several computer components that will be used to drive the digital I/O as well as the ARINC 429 I/O. We also put power to all 3 of the Litton INU CDUs in the cockpit. There are two CDUs in the forward center console as well as a third on in the aft center console. You can see the #1 and #2 INU CDU in the image above. The picture below shows the cabling in progress.

We also powered up the ATC Transponder head as you can see in the image below. The ATC Transponder head that we have has facilities for TCAS. However, we will initially not build out the simulator for TCAS.
