I'm working on my avionics interconnect diagram and electrical system design. The shear number of wires that will need to be cut and run is pretty daunting. My plan is to create a spreadsheet then measure and record point to point each of my runs in the airplane. With this info in hand I will then be able to cut and label each wire that is needed for all the wiring harnesses.
For example
Point A Point B Length
Wing tip Switch Panel XX Ft YY In
GEA 24 PFD1 15 in
etc
3 Questions:
Do you have a rule of thumb for additional length you add to your runs for service loops, wiring striping, and other slop?
Is this a good approach? I'm trying to be principled in my work versus just diving in and hacking it together.
Is there a good how to guide on building wiring harnesses?
