Crew input and display functions

The exact front panel has ENG and ARM controls, a numeric display and a rotary SET knob with PULL VS function. These controls allow the pilot to set the required value and manage the applicable preselect logic. The precise operating sequence follows the installed BendixKing system and the aircraft flight-manual supplement.

BendixKing documentation for the KFC 275/325 family identifies the KAS 297C as the altitude/vertical-speed preselector. It works with a compatible flight computer and air-data source during climb, descent and altitude-capture operations. It does not sense pressure altitude independently and it does not apply mechanical control forces without the rest of the approved flight-control chain.

Exact -16 plate information

The identification plate on the photographed 065-0089-16 states 14 VDC at 0.4 A or 28 VDC at 0.2 A. It specifies 1.2 lb, approximately 0.54 kg, and lists RTCA/DO-160B together with TSO C9c and C52a. These values relate to the exact -16 unit and have not been copied from the -04 position.

The photographed serial reference is KAS297C-2784. The plate also shows the modification-status row and manufacturer identification. The original rear multipin connector is visible above the plate. Pin assignment, connector mating part, power protection and lighting wiring must be confirmed through the approved data for this exact suffix.

System relationship and repair planning

A typical system path is crew entry at KAS 297C → selected altitude or vertical-speed command to the compatible flight computer → comparison with air-data and attitude inputs → command to the installed pitch servo and aircraft linkage. A KMC 321 mode controller, KCP 220 flight computer and KDC 222 air-data computer can appear in documented KFC configurations, subject to the individual aircraft installation.

Because this position is offered as Repairable, its current status should not be treated as an installation release. Evaluation normally includes identification, visual inspection, connector condition, display and control checks, electrical test and repair in accordance with approved component data. Release paperwork and final serviceability depend on the work scope agreed for the supplied serial-numbered unit.

The repair quotation should define whether the work includes display restoration, control inspection, connector repair, internal adjustment and final acceptance testing. Any change to modification status must be recorded in accordance with the applicable component data and reflected in the release documentation for the completed unit.
