BendixKing KI 229 indicator 066-3038-00

066-3038-00 is the exact Part Number of this BendixKing KI 229 radio magnetic indicator. The panel-mounted instrument combines a magnetic-heading presentation with two bearing pointers for compatible navigation sources. Its rotating compass card provides a heading reference, while the independently driven pointers allow the crew to compare bearings supplied by approved ADF, VOR, GPS or other navigation interfaces according to the aircraft installation.

The KI 229 is a display component and does not independently sense magnetic heading or receive radio-navigation signals. It requires compatible heading and bearing sources, correct power, wiring and aircraft interfaces. The complete -00 suffix must be retained because visually similar radio magnetic indicators can differ in voltage, pointer inputs, lighting, connector arrangement or modification status. Eligibility cannot be established from the round bezel alone.

Heading card and dual bearing pointers

The compass card is graduated in degrees and cardinal directions to present the aircraft’s magnetic heading when driven by a compatible slaved or stabilized heading system. Two differently shaped pointers can show selected bearing information from separate navigation sources. Their actual assignments depend on the aircraft switching and wiring configuration; a pointer should not automatically be labeled ADF or VOR without checking the installed system documentation.

The display helps the crew compare heading, station bearing and relative geometry without performing a separate mental conversion. It can support intercepts, position awareness and cross-checking when the connected sources are valid. Accuracy depends on the heading system, remote sensors, navigation receivers, switching, synchro or resolver interfaces, wiring, supply and indicator calibration. A correct visual indication requires the entire signal chain to be serviceable.

System composition and functional chain

A representative heading chain is magnetic or directional sensor → heading-reference system → KI 229 compass-card drive. A representative bearing chain is navigation antenna → compatible ADF, VOR or approved navigator → bearing output and source selection → one KI 229 pointer. A second receiver or selected source can drive the other pointer. Exact signal types and companion Part Numbers must be taken from the aircraft wiring diagram.

Related receivers, antennas and heading equipment are system components, not interchangeable replacements for the KI 229. The indicator can be installed only where the aircraft approval supports its electrical interface and presentation. Substituting another RMI based on face size can create incorrect pointer rotation, card behavior, flag logic or lighting and therefore requires an approved equivalency determination.

Exact plate data and technical inspection

The authentic rear plate identifies KI 229 Radio Magnetic Indicator, Part Number 066-3038-00 and serial number 8776. It specifies dual 14/28 V operation with 0.4/0.2 A current values, weight 2.8 lb, TSO C41c Class A, C6c and C40a references, DO-160A environmental-category marking, AlliedSignal Avionics manufacture and CAGE 22373. These data are specific to the photographed unit.

Receiving inspection should compare the full plate, serial and modification marks, bezel, glass, compass card, both pointers, aircraft symbol, connector and mounting points. Bench testing should verify card alignment and rotation, each pointer channel, damping, lighting, power consumption and response to the approved heading and bearing simulators. The connector cap and shipping protection must be removed only under suitable electrostatic and maintenance controls.

Overhauled supply and ordering information

This 066-3038-00 KI 229 is offered in Overhauled condition from partner stock with a six-month warranty. The quotation will identify the allocated serial number, overhaul organization, release documentation, bench-test status and included accessories. A mating connector, heading source, navigation receivers, switching controls and mounting hardware are included only when expressly listed.

For an inquiry, specify Part Number 066-3038-00, model KI 229, aircraft type, installed heading system, connected bearing sources, voltage and lighting configuration, required certification and quantity. Related navigation equipment can be reviewed in the Garmin / BendixKing / Honeywell / Collins category. Final eligibility and interchangeability must be confirmed through approved aircraft and system documentation.

Maintaining the exact suffix and modification status in purchasing records prevents accidental replacement with a similar-looking RMI that uses a different electrical interface.
