 NATtt OF PROPOSAL:
I: Provide modifications. aud instrumentation in Article 348 to provide, for
an extensive engine perfor mace evaluation program. The provisions will
consist of an inattion package, airframe modifications and engine
modifications as described below. _The'instrunentation package and Kits
of parts for engine and airframe modifications will subsequently be
retained at LAC for future use. -
Instrumentation Package - A flight test instrumentation package will
be assembled for installation in the Q-Ba . It viii consist of (LAC)
flight test equipment and (LAC) and ((~FAE instruments as follows
(1) Integrated. Control
(2) .Inverter
(3) Oscillogra1h

B. AirPranme Modifications w' The airframe and ship's equipment will be
modified as follows:
a. Install a R-185 Temp Probe (!}FAR) on top of the fuselage at
FS 319. (This probe will operate the MS28009-1 Temp Indicator.
on the A.O. Panel.)

b. An additional 8DJ86LAA1 fuel flow indicator (GFAB) and one
8TJ59GAT-2 fuel flow transmitter (WAR) will be provided. The two'
Indicators and the transmitter will be calibrated as a matched set.
One indicator will-be installed on the A. 0. Panel, one will replace.
the indicator on the ship's instrument panel, and the transmitter,:,
vill replace the transaitter on the engine.
c. A nose instrument boom will be provided to measure aircraft pitch
'
and roll attitude. The assembly will consist' of a tubular vAeel
mast with attaching fittings and a YAA2601 head assembly;(I:)?.
'Wiring and boom attach fittings will be installed in the aircraft.
