1.1 Introduction
This manual is intended to provide mechanical and electrical information for use in the
planning and design of an installation of the Air Control Display 57 (ACD-57) into an aircraft.
This manual is not a substitute for an approved airframe-specic maintenance manual,
installation design drawing, or complete installation data package. Attempting to install
equipment by reference to this manual alone and without rst planning or designing an
installation specic to your aircraft may compromise your safety and is not recommended.
The content of this manual assumes use by competent and qualied avionics engineering
personnel and/or avionics installation specialists using standard aviation maintenance
practices in accordance with relevant accepted practices. This manual is not intended for
use by individuals who do not possess the competencies and abilities set forth above. Refer
to section ‘‘Limitations’’, for additional information and other considerations.

1.2 Equipment Description
Model Part number Description
AIR Control Display 57 ACD-57 Multi Function Display for 57mm standard panel cutout
ACD-57 marks the heart of a new avionics platform with advanced component redundancy.
The small outline and multifunctional software of the device allow for better system
integration in space constrained environments. The pilot-centered user interface aims at
reducing crew workload, increasing crew eciency and improving ight safety.
