Designed specifically for mounting to the underside of an aircraft providing excellent radiation coverage for air-to-ground VHF communications. Bent configuration makes it ideally suited for helicopters and low wing aircraft.

The CI 122 has been re-tested and upgraded to the new RTCA DO-160D environmental requirements and offers 118 to 137 MHz frequency associated with the DO-186A MOPS.

Note: Comant Antennas no longer come with a gasket or template. Must order PN 09-05579 separately.

The antenna replaced the existing Cessna antennas and mounted perfectly on my C182P using the same mounting holes and the mounting profile was a match. There was no touch up paint was required.

Was having trouble with reception ... had an old antenna and decided to replace. The clarity has changed completely. Wish I had done a lot sooner.

From my previous product review, the previous set up I had with the top mounted VHF, it was too close to the sensitive ACK-406 (updated and enhanced ELT). The RMI radio magnetic interference from the transmissions of VHF so close into the ELT antenna caused the red power light of the remote on the ACK to come on. Ostensibly this is why we were gettting so much static in our headsets when transmitting. No static for RX of VHF. Also I learned that if you have GPS nav as in a Garmin navigator, an interpheference test needs to be done. Top mounted VHF with top mounted GPS antenna created a fail situation for me. The bottom mounted Ci-122 solved all my issues. Could not be more pleased.

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: What is the height of the Comant CI 122 antenna?

The total height is 18.5 inches long, as the CI-122 is a bottom mount antenna it is bent.

Q: How far does the Comant CI-122 hang down below the mounting surface?

Per the manufacture it is 8.75" from the base of the antenna to the bend.

Q: Does this antenna come with coax cable and connectors?

No, this is the price for the antenna only. Connectors and BNC connectors are sold separate.

Q: What screws are used to mount the antenna? Do they have to be any special material or just standard AN hardware with the appropriate screw head to fit into the countersink body of the antenna.

For part number 11-17922 the length of the screw depends on the mounting location. The mounting holes are .173 diameter and countersunk AN hardware is recommended.

Q: Does the CI-122 or the CI-121 require a metal aircraft frame to act as a ground plane or can these 2 antennae models be used on a non conducting surface like fiberglass? Does the type of aircraft material change the VSWR from the specifications?

The CI-122 (11-17922) does require a ground plane if mounted on a fiberglass airplane. The height of the antenna is the required diameter of the ground plane. Aircraft material does not change the VSWR of the antenna.

Q: What type coax is used with the CI 122 antenna?

On certified installations, we recommend using either RG400 or RG142.

Q: How many mounting screws for this antenna?

This has a footprint for four (4) holes.

Q: Do you sell the gasket for this antenna? In the description the gasket part number is listed as 09-05579. When this number is searched, it shows a fuel tank sealant.

Correct, Comant recommends forming a seal using part # 09-04612 which is a Chemseal sealant.
