Is an upgrade to the KAC 503 FIS module required?
If you were an early adopter, a letter was provided indicating that a one-time modification would be required to the KAC 503 FIS module located inside your KMD 550 or KMD 850 to display encrypted products. This upgrade must be performed at a qualified Bendix/King dealer and should take less than one hour. To minimize aircraft downtime, an exchange unit will be provided. Please contact your Bendix/King dealer to arrange for the exchange. Bendix/King Pilot Services can be reached at 877-712-2386 or 913-712-2613 to answer any questions you may have.
