Hey all -

I'm mounting my Pinpoint GADAHRS and the instructions say that you need to mount the unit with the pitot/static side perpendicular or parallel to the centerline of the aircraft, which is easy enough. What I'm wondering about is if the unit needs to be mounted so that it's level with the aircraft in flight or otherwise. No mention of that in the install manual, but if i'm going to set the angle of the unit, the time is now. Anyone got any info?

thanks in advance for any help!

It would be nice to try to mount it as level as is easy in
pitch, but the calibration program will take care of the
leveling in it's leveling procedure, so just align it level
in roll and near the centerline and the pitch can be taken
care of during calibration. Also, you can mount it with the
pitot/static lines forward or aft, because in calibration
you tell it which way they are facing. It's very flexible.
