Section 2. Avio Avionics Suite
2.3 Pilot Displays
The Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) is the primary component of the
integrated avionics suite contained on the Eclipse Model 500. The primary
components of the EFIS are two 10.4 inch active matrix liquid crystal Primary Flight
Displays (PFD) and one 15.3 inch active matrix liquid crystal Multi Function Display
(MFD). The EFIS displays all primary flight information including aircraft system
synoptic pages that allow control of most aircraft functions.
2.3.1 Primary Flight Displays (PFD)
The PFDs are two of the primary components of the integrated avionics. They are an
information center in that they route pilot commands to the ACS, as well as receive
aircraft status information and route it to the MFD for display. In addition the PFDs
provide the following display and control functionality. The PFDs are outlined in detail
in the PFD chapter of this manual:
1. Airspeed/Mach Display
2. Altitude and Vertical Speed Display
3. Autopilot/Yaw Damper Mode Display
4. Baro-Correction Display
5. Autopilot Targets Display
a. Airspeed
b. Attitude-Flight Director Command Bars
c. Altitude
d. Vertical speed
e. Heading
6. Localizer and Glideslope Deviation
7. Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI)
a. Pitch Attitude
b. Roll Attitude
c. Slip/Skid Indication
8. Airspeed & Altitude Indications
9. Magnetic Heading
10. VOR & ILS
11. Communications and Navigation Radio Tuning
12. Transponder Control (Mode S)
13. Composite Mode (used during MFD failure)
2.3.2 Multi-Function Display (MFD)
The MFD is the primary interface for the pilot to the aircraft systems and their status.
While this display is the center of the displays and a focal point for the pilot, it is
considered to be a 'dumb' display in the context of avionics system architecture. All
