  • Page 17: Section 1 System Overview

    3.5-inch color display which is sized to fit in a standard 3-1/8-inch instrument cutout. When installed as part of a G3X system, the G5 provides a redundant source of attitude and air data to the G3X displays, and additionally provides backup autopilot control allowing coupled GPS approaches to be flown or continued in the event of primary flight display is unavailability.

  • Page 18: Micro -Sd ™ Cards

    During system initialization, the G5 displays the message ‘ALIGNING’ over the attitude indicator. The G5 should display valid attitude typically within the first minute of power-up. The G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight. G5 Electronic Flight Instrument Pilot's Guide for Non-Certified Aircraft...

  • Page 19: Operation

    Any failure of the inertial sensors results in loss of attitude and information (indicated by Red-X flags over the PFD attitude display). If the G5 senses that the attitude solution is valid, but not yet within the internal accuracy limits, "ALIGNING" is displayed. The G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.

  • Page 20: G5 Heading

    Magnetic heading is available in a standalone installation with a magnetometer, and when the G5 is configured as a backup in a G3X/G3X Touch system and the G5 is receiving magnetic heading data from an ADAHRS unit. If magnetic heading input data is not available, the G5 will display GPS-derived ground track instead.
