§2.1033 (b) (3) Installation & Operating Instructions
Requirement: §2.1033(b) (3) A copy of the installation and operating instructions to be furnished the user.
Aircell does not produce CWAP specific operating instructions; rather it produces an Aircell
Broadband System (ABS) operating guide, attached. The ABS will be operated on aircraft and meets
the FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) procedures under 14 CFR 21. To maintain the STC,
Aircell controls the software and configuration of the CWAP. In addition to the ABS operating guide,
the flight crew is properly trained on disabling the system when needed.
Aircell does not produce generic installation instructions. As part of the FAA STC process, Aircell
produces specific installation drawings for the various aircraft types. These drawings are used by
certified professionals to install the ABS on to an aircraft.
