Aural warning function in the flight-control system

Within a compatible installation, the KAA 15 gives the crew an audible indication when the flight-control system calls for attention. A typical functional path is condition detection and logic within the autopilot or flight-control computer, a discrete alert command through the aircraft wiring, processing by the KAA 15, and audible presentation through the installed output arrangement. The alerter supplements visual annunciation and procedural monitoring; it does not replace cockpit warning lamps or system status checks.

Published support material places the KAA 15 alongside equipment such as the KC 191 or KC 192 flight computer, KI 256 flight command indicator, KG 253 or KG 258 attitude reference, KAS 297B altitude selector and associated servos. This list describes components commonly supported within the same autopilot families, not a delivery set for this individual product. The actual aircraft configuration must be established from its wiring diagrams, equipment list and maintenance records.

Electrical configuration and installation considerations

Open-market technical references identify 071-1466-00 as the 28-volt KAA 15 configuration. The original photographed unit uses a compact plated-metal enclosure with a multi-contact edge connector and dedicated mounting points. Exact dimensions, connector pin functions, allowable loads and audio characteristics were not confirmed from a suffix-specific manufacturer manual in the reviewed open sources, so those values should be taken from approved Bendix/King installation data before testing or installation.

The mounting location can vary with aircraft type and available avionics space. Because the alerter operates as part of a certified flight-control system, it should be installed only where the approved design provides the correct power, grounding, command inputs and acoustic path. A similar-looking audio device or a KAA 15 with another Part Number should not be treated as interchangeable without checking voltage, connector arrangement, modification status and system approval.

Inspection, testing and associated equipment

Receiving inspection should verify Part Number 071-1466-00, model KAA 15, serial number, manufacturer label, connector contacts, enclosure condition and mounting hardware. Evidence of overheated contacts, contamination, loose fasteners or unauthorized repairs should be resolved before installation. Because the photographed front label identifies the model but does not show the complete Part Number, the stock identity must also be matched to its release documentation and inventory record.

Functional testing should use approved KAP or KFC test data and a controlled electrical setup. The technician should confirm power consumption, command response, output level, alert sequencing and absence of intermittent operation while monitoring the associated flight-control computer and wiring. Simply applying power to the enclosure without the correct command interface does not establish serviceability. Return to service remains subject to the aircraft maintenance program and authorized release documentation.

Overhauled supply and ordering information

This 071-1466-00 KAA 15 is offered in Overhauled condition from partner stock with a six-month warranty. The main image presents a clean catalog view of the unit, and the gallery image preserves the authentic photographed connector, housing and KAA 15 AURAL ALERTER label. Photographs document the model and representative stock condition; allocation of a particular serial number must be confirmed in the commercial quotation.

For an inquiry, specify Part Number 071-1466-00, model KAA 15, aircraft type, KAP or KFC system configuration, required release documentation and quantity. Related autopilot, navigation and flight-control equipment can be reviewed in the Garmin / BendixKing / Honeywell / Collins category. These products are related by system use and should not be described as interchangeable unless approved technical data expressly authorizes the substitution.
