2.8 NAVIGATION

NOTE: If the G5 is installed as part of a G3X/G3X Touch system, navigation
data (both horizontal and vertical) will not appear on the G5 if any GDU
displays are operational.

2.8.1 COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI)

The PFD Page displays the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) below the slip/skid
indicator. The HSI Page displays the CDI on the Horizontal Situation Indicator.
The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) move left or right along a lateral deviation
scale to display the aircraft position relative to the course. If the course deviation data
is not valid, the CDI is not displayed.
The CDI is capable of displaying two sources of navigation: GPS or NAV (VOR,
localizer) depending on the external navigator configured (refer to the Installation
Manual section for more information). Color indicates the current navigation source:
magenta (for GPS) or green (for VOR and LOC). The full-scale limits for the CDI are
defined by a GPS-derived distance when coupled to GPS. When coupled to a VOR or
localizer (LOC), the CDI has the same angular limits as a mechanical CDI.
Changing the navigation source (GPS, VOR, LOC, or VLOC):
Use the associated external navigator to toggle between GPS and VOR/LOC
source types. Refer to the appropriate external navigator Pilot's Guide for
more information.
