FliteLine VHF Communication System (FliteCOMM)
General Description CVC-151
The FliteLine CVC-151 is an all digital DSP VHF Comm Transceiver, built and designed to ARINC Air Transport
specifications. The Transceiver is designed to meet the latest ATC environment, all future CNS ATN
requirements, and has provisions for VDL Mode 2 and VDL Mode 3. The CVC-151 features a 20 watt solid-state
transmitter, is compliant with 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing and the architecture is standard ARINC 429 which
supports interface to FMS systems and the Chelton RMS 555 Radio Management System. The CVC-151
Transceiver is interchangeable with current Series III VHF Comm Transceivers using a special mounting tray
adapter.

General Description CVC-152
The Chelton CVC-152 Control Display Unit is available in versions for use with transceivers with fixed channel
spacing (25 kHz or 8.33 kHz), and for units with switchable (25 kHz and 8.33 kHz) channel spacing. The CVC152 is a direct replacement for the Chelton CD-402B and CD-402C Control Display Units.
The CVC-152 Control Display Unit provides a simultaneous readout of two frequencie s: The active frequency in
the upper display and, immediately below it, the standby frequency. Frequency switching is accomplished by
simply pressing a frequency transfer button. The Transmit Annunciator (Tx) appears in the display when RF is
present at the output of the transceiver, providing positive proof-of-operation. When the CVC-152 Control
Display Unit is turned on, a diagnosis of all critical circuits begins, and continues until the System is turned off. If
a fault is detected at any time, a FAIL annunciation appears in the display.
The CVC-152 Control Display Unit has a nonvolatile memory which allows it to remember the last frequencies
displayed, indefinitely, even when power is removed. This feature prevents momentary power interrupts from
affecting the system, and allows the last frequencies used to appear immediately when the System is turned on.

Operating the CVC-152
1. Turn the MODE SELECTOR to ON (fixed channel spacing) or to 25kHz or 8.33kHz (switchable channel
spacing). The last frequencies selected prior to System turnoff reappear in the display.
2. If these are not the desired frequencies, rotate the appropriate FREQUENCY KNOB until the desired
frequency is displayed as the standby frequency in the lower line of the display.
The large frequency knob increments (clockwise rotation) or decrements (counter-clockwise rotation) the
frequency being tuned by one megahertz for each detent.
The small frequency knob increments (clockwise rotation) or decrements (counter-clockwise rotation) the
frequency being tuned by 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz for each detent.
For 8.33 kHz channel spacing, the small frequency knob sequences through a list of both 25 kHz and 8.33
kHz channels (see table below).

3. Press and release the FREQUENCY TRANSFER button. This exchanges the two displayed frequencies.
The desired frequency is now active and may be used immediately.
4. Use the VOLUME CONTROL to adjust volume if a station is broadcasting.
5. To set a new standby frequency, rotate the appropriate FREQUENCY KNOB until the desired frequency is
displayed in the lower line of the display.
NOTE: To tune the active frequency only (without first tuning the standby and then "flipping" the
frequencies), press and hold the FREQUENCY TRANSFER button for two seconds, then release
it. This removes the standby frequency from the display.
The FREQUENCY KNOBS may now be used to change the active frequency. Press and hold the FREQUENCY TRANSFER button for two seconds again to restore the
standby frequency to the display, if desired.

CVC-152 Notes
1. The FREQUENCY SELECTOR knobs tune the radio transceiver directly. The display shows the
frequencies to which the radio transceiver is actually tuned. In addition to the CVC-152, the Chelton
Series III transceivers may also be tuned by an ARINC 429 digital bus. In addition to the CVC-152, the
Chelton FliteLine transceivers may be tuned by either ARINC 429 digital bus or Controller Area Network
(CAN) Bus.
2. Display intensity and panel lighting are controlled by external dimmer controls.
3. Pressing and holding the FREQUENCY TRANSFER button for at least 7 seconds before releasing it
sets the COM active frequency to 121.50 MHz and puts the unit into the active tuning mode. This is true
even if segments of the display are faulty or a lighting failure occurs. From this known reference point,
any other frequency may be set by counting detents of the FREQUENCY SELECTOR knobs as they
are rotated. Each clockwise detent of the outer knob is one Megahertz difference. Each clockwise
detent of the inner knob is 25kHz or 8.33 kHz difference.
4. The FREQUENCY SELECTOR knobs rotate continuously through all detents without end stops. After
rotating the outer knob clockwise to the highest number, the next detent will be the lowest number (118
MHz).
5. Pressing and holding the left pushbutton (PWR) for more than 1 second will trigger the system to
shutdown. A warning screen will display a countdown. Releasing the PWR button before the count has
expired will return the unit to the display screen active prior to initiating the shutdown.
Should the system become unresponsive, a hardware failsafe shutdown can be initiated. Under this
circumstance, press and hold the PWR button for 12-15 seconds. There is no indication other than
actual system shutdown and an audible click.
6. The system that is in the off condition may be turned on by simply pressing the PWR button
momentarily.
7. Systems configured for ARINC 410 (2x5) Digital Interface will only support fixed channel operation.
There is no TX indicator on a system configured for ARINC 410 interface.

General Description CVN-252
The Chelton CVN-252 VHF Navigation Control Display is designed to control VHF navigation receiving systems
that combine VOR/LOC, glideslope, and marker beacon reception. The CVN-252 is a direct replacement for the
Chelton CD-412B Control Display Unit.
The CVN-252 Control Display can digitally display BEARING TO or RADIAL FROM any selected VOR station.
When an ILS frequency is selected by the Series III or FliteLine Navigation radio, the letters LOC appear below
the frequency on the display when RAD or BRG are selected.
The CVC-252 Control Display incorporates microprocessor technology to achieve performance, reliability,
accuracy, and features not possible in previous systems. These include advanced filtering techniques, full-time
self-diagnostics, non-volatile frequency memory.
Special filtering circuits virtually eliminate noise, including rotor modulation noise in helicopter installations.
Self-testing begins when the system is turned on, and continues until turnoff. Faults detected result in a FAIL
annunciation.
Non-volatile memory means that the last frequency selected is in system memory if the system is turned off, if
power is interrupted, or even if the system is removed from the aircraft.
The CVN-252 Navigation Control Display Unit is designed to interface with Chelton FliteLine Navigatio n Radios
(CVN-251), Chelton Series III Navigation Radios (VN-411B in the VNS 41 System), and Collins Navigation
Radios with the ARINC 410 (2x5) Interfaces.
Limitations
NOTE: Installations of the CVN-252, and CCN-955 with the Series III or ARINC-410 digital interfaces which
include the optional DME Hold functionality are subject to certain limitations. In these installations, the aircraft
shall provide indication of the DME Hold status on equipment other than the FliteLine Control Display and within
the pilot's primary field of view.
Failure to meet these limitation guidelines violates the installation guidance set forth in this manual and may
lead to an unsafe aircraft operating condition.
