3.3.2 Factory calibration The factory calibration is the calibration activity performed in AvMap Laboratory. AvMap recommends to send the Ultra EFIS in factory every 2 years for complete device checkup, including altimeter calibration. Contact avionics@avmap.it to receive information about the complete checkup service costs.

AvMap Ultra EFIS Attitude is displayed with a standard coloured artificial horizon. An aircraft symbol is used to indicate the aircraft’s nose orientation. A trajectory vector (also called “Flight Path Vector”) is displayed with a circle and three lines; the trajectory vector indicates the aircrafts real path with respect to the horizon and the aircraft’s nose.

AvMap Ultra EFIS Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) is shown in the upper right corner of the PFD page in a numeric number (ft/min or m/s) and on the VSI scale bar aside the altimeter bar (segmentation in 1000 ft/min or 5 m/s). The unit measurement set for altitude is automatically used on the vertical speed indicator (when altitude is set to feet the VSI is shown in ft/min, when altitude is set to meters the VSI is shown in m/s).

In the “DATABASE” menu you can choose “IMPORT” to update navigation POI’s on the Ultra through the microSD card. Make sure the microSD card is inserted in the Ultra. Note: To update the navigation POI’s on your Ultra visit www.avmap.it or contact orders@avmap.it. Follow the update instructions that are provided together with the POI purchase.
• DISTANCE: Distance to an VOR or ADF navigation point can be set in nm, miles or km. 4.5 NMEA-OUT The Ultra EFIS comes with two RS232 serial connections (“Serial A” and “Serial B”), both can be enabled for sending out gps data (NMEA messages) to external devices (autopilot, transponder, navigation or EFIS system).
