tion,” offered an avionics technician at the recent Sun ‘n
Fun Fly-In. The complicated problem: how to mount – and
where – a collection of antennae for dual GPS receivers, a
PFD with a GPS sensor, an anti-collision system box, dual
nav/comms and a transponder.
If you’re counting, that’s nine different antennae: two for
the VHF comm transceivers, one for the two VHF nav receivers, another for the glideslope receiver, another GPS
antenna for the PFD system, one for the transponder and
two more for the CAS.
“It’s about time we started seeing multipurpose antennae,” the tech said.
“These dual-purpose antennae let me cut the clutter
and have a better chance of mounting everything in a dead
zone on the skin.”
Consider these multitasking options for weeding out the
crops of a fully mature aircraft antennae farm.
Common Cause: VOR/LOC/GS…
Three for VHF Nav
Once upon a time, deploying a VOR/LOC receiver and
a glideslope meant two antennae – one for the VOR/LOC
scale, one for the glideslope.

Today, various manufacturers make antennae capable of
handling all three connections in one unit.
Dorne & Margolin offers its DM N4-17N antenna package, a pair of blades designed to mount horizontally on a
vertical stabilizer in applications ranging from general aviation to military.
A combination VOR/LOC/glideslope antenna, the DM N417 meets technical standard order and mil-spec standards.
Suitable for single-engine aircraft through jets, the unit is
approved for use at speeds to Mach 1.
Comant is another player in the multipurpose VHF nav
antenna field.
A division of Cobham, Comant offers several solutions
that combine the three VHF nav functions into a single antenna each designed for a different mounting need.
Comant’s CI-157P V and CI-215 dipole VOR/LOC/
glideslope antennas employs proven features, the former
designed specifically for compatibility with the Piper Aircraft
mounting, the latter for Cessna 182 and 210 – but suitable
for many other piston models.
Comant’s CI-120-400 VOR/LOC/glideslope antenna is
