FALCON 360-P USER MANUAL Version 1.2

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Falcon 360-P – we have designed this system to provide efficient and
cost-effective tracking for your aircraft, as well as provide you with a tool for reliable
communication and data gathering during your flight operations.

The Falcon is essentially a system that gathers information from the aircraft, and requires very little
interaction from the flight crew. In normal installation and operation it will automatically track the
aircraft whenever the Avionics bus is powered.

This document describes the hardware functions, as well as installation options – for details on the
IndigoTrack Crew software application used to control the Falcon, please refer to the separate
IndigoTrack Crew User Guide.

System Components

The Falcon 360-P system consists of the tracking module which is mounted in a suitable position on
the glareshield, and a power cable which is connected to an auxiliary power supply in the aircraft.
Please refer to the Installation section for more information on installation options for the system.
The tracking module is illustrated below:

Installation

Power Cable

The Power Cable provided is has a self-locking connection to the Falcon unit to ensure that it cannot
become accidentally unplugged whilst in operation. The other side of the cable is terminated with
an Auxiliary power plug – this should be inserted into the Auxiliary Power socket in the aircraft.

If the aircraft does not have an Auxiliary Power socket, or you would prefer to have the cable
connected directly to the aircraft power, the following wiring diagram should be used by your
Aircraft Maintenance Organization to get approval for the modification to your aircraft – refer to
the color key for the cable provided with your equipment.
