Altitude Synchronization; Electric Standby Attitude Gyro; Synthetic Vision Technology - Garmin G500 Manual

Soft keys at the bottom of the display allow for some quick functions to be
performed on each page. The soft keys operate by press and release. More
detailed configuration is typically available by pressing the MENU button,
which is on the right side of the display.
Pressing and holding down the CLR key is a shortcut to get back to the main
map page on the MFD. This can be used as a quick way back, or when the pilot
has selected a submenu within the system. The functions available under the
MFD are explained in the Garmin G500 Cockpit Reference Guide.
4.3

Altitude Synchronization

The pilot must synchronize the PFD BARO setting and the Standby Altimeter
Kollsman window with the local altimeter setting as appropriate. In dual
installations if synchronization between the units is enabled, setting either PFD
will adjust both PFDs, but the standby must still be set by the pilot. Reference
the Garmin G500 Cockpit Reference Guide for a complete description and the
usage of synchronization in dual installations.

Electric Standby Attitude Gyro

When an electric standby attitude gyro is installed, test the backup battery before
takeoff.
1. Apply power to electric standby attitude gyro and allow the gyro to
reach operating speed (approximately 5 minutes).
2. Verify that the red gyro flag is not in view.
3. Press and hold the STBY PWR button until the amber annunciator
begins to flash.
4. Verify that the green annunciator is displayed continuously and the red
annunciator is not displayed for the duration of the test (approximately
1 minute).
The standby attitude gyro must be considered inoperative if
the red annunciator is displayed during the test.

Synthetic Vision Technology

The SVT system may be turned on or off, as desired. To access the synthetic
vision system softkey menu, press the PFD softkey on the GDU 620, followed
by the SYN VIS softkey. Synthetic vision terrain, horizon headings, and airport
signs can be toggled on and off from this menu. Press the BACK softkey to
return to the root PFD menu.
