Page 9: System Overview
Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). All images contained in this manual are for reference use only, and are subject to change. Avidyne strongly recommends that pilots use the IFD410 system only under VFR conditions until completely familiar with its operation and use.
Page 10: Intended Function
INTENDED FUNCTION The Avidyne IFD410 is a GPS navigator whose primary function is to conduct GPS-based navigation and instrument flying (enroute and approach), provided it is connected to an external CDI/HSI indicator that is installed in the required field of view as well as a source selection annunciator.
Page 11: Basic Concepts
COOL FEATURE Multi-Touch Touch Screen Control The IFD supports multi-touch touch screen technology meaning that features such as two- fingered pinch zoom for range changing on maps and charts is fully enabled. The system has been designed for single-pilot IFR operation and features a Page and Tab user interface.
Page 12: Line Select Keys
LINE SELECT KEYS Line Select Keys, typically abbreviated to LSK in this manual, are the buttons found along the left vertical side of the bezel. These are different from Page Function Keys in that they also have a label, just inside the bezel adjacent to the physical LSK which indicates the function of the LSK.
Page 13: Color Philosophy
Right Knob Label Scheme In the example above, the outer ring scrolls through a list in a coarse manner and the inner ring scrolls through the same list stopping at each minor field along the way. Pushing the knob generates a drop-down menu. COLOR PHILOSOPHY There are a few generalities with the use of color that are consistent across the IFD as described in the table below:...
Page 14: General Ifd Operations
GENERAL IFD OPERATIONS The IFD410 Integrated Flight Display (IFD) is a touch screen GPS navigator that has been designed to be both a retrofit or a clean install. As a retrofit installation, the unit was designed to be plug- and-play compatible with a Garmin 400/W unit. BEZEL LAYOUT GPS/OBS Knob Ambient...
Page 15: Power Control
OBS toggle button. COOL FEATURE Integrated WiFi/Bluetooth® The IFD has an integrated WiFi/Bluetooth® transceiver located underneath the Avidyne logo on the bottom of the bezel. No additional hardware is required to take advantage of the capability. POWER CONTROL The IFD is regulated by a pair of circuit breakers. There is also a power control on the top left corner of the unit but the IFD will automatically start when the aircraft bus power is applied.
Page 16: Brightness Controls
Manual Power Down After power application, the bezel keys backlighting will be turned on. Several seconds later, the IFD display will begin to have indications. BRIGHTNESS CONTROLS Each IFD has brightness controls to control both the bezel and the display brightness. The user can access individual controls to allow for either manual control of brightness, automatic control of brightness in response to the cockpit dimming controls/rheostats or automatic control of brightness in response to the ambient light...
Page 17: Start-Up Sequence
 A software version and database currency page is displayed IF there any expired databases. Avidyne does not recommend operating with expired databases but the system will allow operation by pressing the “Proceed” followed by the “Confirm” LSKs; ...
Page 18  If there is a fuel flow system connected to the IFD, then the IFD will automatically transition to the Fuel Management Page. If the fuel flow system does not provide fuel totalizer data, you will need to input the fuel on board and press the “ENTR” key.
Page 19 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES “GPS No Position” Message Possible at Startup If the GPS alignment takes an unusually long time (e.g more than 2 minutes) to acquire an initial position fix, the “GPS No Position” advisory message will be displayed. This message will automatically clear itself when a position fix is acquired.
Page 20: Database Currency States
DATABASE CURRENCY STATES The following table describes the various database currency states that may be observed at startup: Database Status Message Color In Effect Valid Thru <Month, Light Green Day, Year > Has Expired Expired <Month, Yellow Day, Year> Not Yet Effective Effective <Month, Yellow Day, Year>...
Page 21: Page Layout And Formats
PAGE LAYOUT AND FORMATS The left column (context-sensitive line select keys), top data strip and nav source button indication, and bottom edge set of page tabs are always displayed on every page. Page Layout Top strip datablock Data Blocks Nav Source area Label Configurable Data Strip...
Page 22 COOL FEATURE Split Pages The split pages where extra data can be displayed along the right edge can be handy pages in all phases of flight. Some pages can display a data strip along the right edge of the display. The FPL tab and NRST tab on the FMS page and the Map tab on the MAP page are prime examples.
Page 23: Frequency List
FREQUENCY LIST The “FREQ” function key along the right edge of the bezel has three tabs along the top edge of the page:  Airport – the most logical com frequencies (e.g. ATIS, ASOS, AWOS, CTAF, Tower, Ground, Clearance Delivery, etc) associated with the origin airport and then when airborne and more than 5nm from the origin, the destination airport;...
Page 24: Transponder Control And Display
TRANSPONDER CONTROL AND DISPLAY If the IFD has been configured to communicate with a remote transponder, then code and mode control and display is available. Display The transponder mode and code is displayed in a datablock that can be configured to be displayed along the left, right, or top sides of the display.
Page 25 The keyboard will be dismissed through one of several methods to include,  Touching one of the Mode soft keys or the IDENT soft key;  Touching the red-X in the top right corner of the keyboard;  Letting it time-out on its own. Presuming the transponder has been setup to accept the input from the IFD, it will automatically toggle between air and ground modes during takeoff and landing rolls.
Page 26 Transponder Code Entry Transponder codes can be entered in via one of two methods – keyboard entry or bottom left bezel knob use. When using the keyboard entry method, touch any of the numeric buttons (0 through 7) to start modifying the squawk code. A new squawk code is set when the fourth digit is entered.
Page 27 Transponder Configuration Some typical pilot actions for configuration (e.g. Flight ID definition and default VFR code definition) are accessed through the User Options sub-page on the AUX page. The rest are accomplished via the installer in Maintenance Mode. If the IFD is unable to communicate with the remote transponder, an associated CAS message is displayed and the transponder data blocks may be replaced with Red-X’s.
Page 28: Direct-To Operations
DIRECT-TO OPERATIONS A dedicated Direct-To function key is located along the right edge of the IFD bezel. Pressing that button from any page will display a green Direct-To dialog box that will be pre-populated with a logical waypoint. Direct-To Dialog and Confirmation Dialog Boxes 1-20 System Overview...
Page 29 If that pre-populated waypoint is the desired waypoint, press the “ENTR” function key along the right edge of the bezel twice (Direct-To, Enter, Enter) or touch the Activate dialog box that pops up on the display to accept. If a different waypoint is desired, there are a number of ways in which the proper waypoint can be entered in that Direct-To dialog box: ...
Page 30: Function Keys
FUNCTION KEYS In addition to the Direct-To function key that have already been described, the IFD has a Procedure (“PROC”) function key and an Enter (“ENTR”) function key and a Clear (“CLR”) function key that perform the following functions:  Procedure –...
Page 31: Touch Screen
 Enter – The use can vary slightly depending on the scenario, but “ENTR” is always related to the Enter/Accept/Confirm use;  Clear – The use can vary slightly depending on the scenario, but ”CLR” is always related to Clear/Backspace/CAS Message Clear use. TOUCH SCREEN The IFD uses a capacitive touch screen technology that allows multi-touch operation (e.g.
Page 32 Touch zone targets have been intentionally oversized wherever possible to aid in accurate touch screen behavior. As noted above, virtually every feature or function of the IFD can be accomplished either by touch or by physical bezel control. The following table identifies the exceptions to that rule: Bezel-only Control Input Touch screen-only Control Functions...
Page 33 Virtual Numeric Keyboard Each keyboard has a scratchpad in the lower right corner. The scratchpad is a free text field for data entry. TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Optimal Touch Performance To maximize touch performance, the more surface area of a finger that can make contact with the glass, the better.
Page 34: Use Of External Keyboard
USE OF EXTERNAL KEYBOARD The IFD is capable of taking input from an external, properly paired, Bluetooth® keyboard. It is intended to be used in lieu of, or in conjunction with, the IFD touchscreen keyboard. Anywhere and anytime the IFD touchscreen keyboard is used to enter data (e.g.
Page 35 Xpdr buttons are non-functional when using with an IFD410 – pressing any of them will produce a “Unsupported Bluetooth Input” CAS message. The Avidyne logo key is a space bar. The up/down arrow keys can be used for page navigation in the same way the inner and outer rings of the bottom right IFD knob can navigate through page fields.
Page 36: Dual Ifd Operatons
DUAL IFD OPERATONS Some installations may involve two IFDs (e.g. IFD540-IFD410, IFD440-IFD410) that can work in a more integrated fashion. Method of Data Share (Dual IFD Operations) Dual IFDs will be connected via the Byteflight digital Databus. While any of the com ports can be configured for the dual IFD “CrossSync”...
Page 37  Enables fuel planning (e.g. initial fuel entry) to be synchronized across both IFDs;  Enables user waypoints to be synchronized across both IFDs;  Enables sensor settings and data (traffic, datalink, lightning, air data, etc) to be shared across both IFDs.
Page 38 Independent Data (Dual IFD Operations) NOTE Sensor and Control Data Sharing Requires Consistent Software Versions For complete data sharing between dual IFDs, both units will need to have the same main software version. If the IFDs have different software versions, then the sensor and control data (e.g.
Page 39 Calculators and Utilities data. NOTE Data Sharing Tolerates Inconsistent Databases While Avidyne strongly recommends the databases on each IFD be kept up-to-date and on the same cycle, data sharing between IFDs as defined above in “Data Sharing (Dual IFD Operations)” is available when different data cycles are present on the two IFDs.
Page 40: Wifi Operations
Fully interactive copy of the IFD hosted on a mobile device (e.g. “IFD100”). TIPS AND TECHNIEQUES Dual IFD Installations Should Only Use 1 WiFi For reliable WiFi operations, Avidyne recommends turning off WiFi from the User Options page on one of the IFDs. 1-32...
Page 41 The top strip datablock row will display Bluetooth and WiFi icons when the respective function has been enabled. With Release 10.2.1, the WiFi and Bluetooth icons will change color depending on connection status. WiFi/Bluethooth logos will not appear when the user option is set to off.
Page 42 1-34 System Overview...
Page 43: Waas Vs Non-Waas Operations
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Quick Method to Sever WiFi/Bluetooth Link The power knob/button in the top left corner of the IFD can be used to sever the WiFi and Bluetooth link to the panel IFD. Press and hold the power knob/button down until the countdown box on the display appears and then let go.
Page 44: Interaction With External Devices
As a condition for certification, the IFD is approved for integration with all equipment the Garmin GPS 400 is approved for, plus the IFD is approved for integration with additional equipment beyond those authorized for use with the GPS system.
Page 45: Before Takeoff Techniques
If multiple pilots share the airplane, be sure to check User Options and datablock selections to ensure set up for your personal preferences. Avidyne recommends creating and using the Checklist utility and including a Before Takeoff checklist that meets your personal needs.
Page 47: Fms
FMS Pages The Flight Management System (FMS) pages are where flight plans are created, modified, stored and deleted. Ground operations are the ideal time to enter the intended flight plan into the FMS. FPL (FLIGHT PLAN) TAB FMS BASIC CONCEPTS For properly configured dual IFD installations, enter your plan into only one of the IFDs and the data is automatically shared between them.
Page 48 Flight Plan Detail Blue – origin or airports Magenta – Current leg Gray – All other legs There are two types of cursors – an insert cursor and an edit cursor. Rotate the “FMS” knob in the lower right corner of the IFD to see the visual difference.
Page 49: Creating A New Flight Plan
CREATING A NEW FLIGHT PLAN The first time the “Flight Plan” tab of the FMS page is accessed following power-on, an empty flight plan page is presented with the origin waypoint pre-populated. The origin will be the closest airport to the current GPS position, or the airport from the previous power down if GPS position has not locked on yet.
Page 50 If a flight plan has more legs than can be displayed on a single page, a scroll bar is presented along the right edge of the flight plan. It indicates where the viewable window is with respect to the entire flight plan as well as where the active leg in the flight plan is.
Page 51 The pictures below are an example of the airway drop down box that is displayed when building a flight plan and then the exit point choices once the airway is chosen. Use the bottom right IFD knob to scroll the list for the desired airway and exit point off the airway.
Page 52 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Expanding and Compacting the Flight Plan The “Flight Plan” tab of the FMS page provides a means to show every leg of the flight plan (“Expanded”) or an abbreviated version of the flight plan (“Compact”) via the “View” LSK. The compact view hides all intermediate legs of an airway between the entry and exit point.
Page 53: Selecting A Departure
SELECTING A DEPARTURE If a published departure exists for the origin/departure airfield, then a drop down list of available departure procedures can be displayed by using the inner ring of the bottom right IFD knob to highlight the departure procedure window for that origin/departure airfield and pushing in that knob.
Page 54 The FMS processes enroute transitions first. If the SID/STAR has more than one published enroute transition, the FMS will present a dropdown menu showing those transitions and the pilot will select the desired transition. If the SID/STAR has only one published enroute transition, the FMS will automatically select that one and no dropdown for enroute transitions will be presented.
Page 55: Saving/Naming A Flight Plan
If the inserted SID/STAR had a selected runway transition and either the airport had no selected runway or the selected runway was not applicable to the SID/STAR, then the FMS will set the runway for the airport based on the runway transition that was selected.
Page 56: Activating A Flight Plan
ACTIVATING A FLIGHT PLAN While you always have the option to manually activate the flight plan via a LSK on the Flight Plan tab, the created plan on the Flight Plan tab will automatically activate on takeoff roll when a threshold groundspeed is achieved (which is approximately 40 knots).
Page 57: Modifying A Flight Plan
The flight plans (and procedures) can be previewed as they are being built while on the FMS page, using the FPL tab with the map partially exposed (Map-FPL split page as defined in Section 1 of this manual). As a flight plan is being built from that page, the map will automatically resize to continue to display the entire flight plan.
Page 58: Deleting A Waypoint
typing in a waypoint identifier, start typing on the virtual keyboard that is displayed. Geofill™ will typically find the correct waypoint by the 2 character. TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Back-to-Back Duplicate Waypoints Restriction The FMS will not permit entering back-to-back duplicate waypoints. A duplicate waypoint can be inserted elsewhere in the active flight plan (e.g.
Page 59: Editing A Waypoint
Unable to Delete Published Procedure Waypoint Waypoints that are part of a published procedure (departure or arrival) may not be deleted. EDITING A WAYPOINT From the FPL tab, the bottom right knob on the IFD can be used to edit an existing waypoint. Using the knob, scroll up or down the flight plan until an edit cursor surrounds the waypoint to be modified.
Page 60: Entering And Intercepting A Radial
The default value for the crossing distance is 5.0nm for airports and 0.0nm for all other waypoints. The only waypoints that do not permit vertical constraints are:  Origin  Destination, if it has an approach selected  Missed Approach Point ...
Page 61: Deleting A Flight Plan
The FMS Course function will always be armed (i.e. it will always intercept the flight plan) in a To intercept. If the airplane is in a From course, it will intercept only if the dialed course trajectory intercepts the flight plan. If the dialed course does not intercept the flight plan, the airplane will fly that course indefinitely.
Page 62 Use the edit cursor on the flight plan to select the waypoint of interest, then push the bottom right IFD knob or touch the desired location to display a drop down list of options. Near the top of that list, you will see “Hold at <waypoint name>”. Scroll to highlight that drop down list entry and push the knob again.
Page 63: Circular Orbits
approach – for those holds, there’s no “Standard Hold” LSK since it’s unlikely this would be a desired course of action. If however, a hold parameter is manually changed, the “Hold As Published” LSK does appear. CIRCULAR ORBITS If the optional Search and Rescue (SAR) / Special Use Mission package is active, then circular orbits can be added to the plan.
Page 64 Circular Hold Pattern Selection in FMS Setup Once on, the leg type is selected just like all other leg types but is only available after a leg that is not part of a terminal procedure. Select the “Orbit <waypoint>” option in the standard FMS insert cursor drop down list.
Page 65: Deleting A Holding Pattern
If the orbit radius is larger than the distance from the aircraft to the orbit fix, then the aircraft will intercept the orbit on the extended radial between the orbit fix and the aircraft. Just like a traditional holding pattern, there is no insert cursor between a fix and a subsequent orbit.
Page 66: Flight Plan Sequencing
COOL FEATURE Graphical Flight Plan Leg A graphical representation of each leg of a flight plan may be displayed within the FPL leg as shown in the image below. This is especially useful for procedure turns and holding patterns. Procedure Turn with Course Reversal FLIGHT PLAN SEQUENCING The FMS assumes that the pilot will fly the flight plan as defined.
Page 67: Lateral Offsets
Impending Turn Notification If flying the defined flight plan, the IFD will provide a message about an impending turn that includes the upcoming desired track (DTK) and a 10 second (30 second if the required turn is more than 120 degrees) count down.
Page 68: Gaps Or Discontinuities In Flight Plans
Gap with the waypoint that follows by a direct (straight) leg. Connecting Gap in Route Avidyne recommends that you input the arrival and approach for the destination airfield and alternates into the FMS flight plan. Selecting a published arrival and/or approach will automatically load the procedure including all altitude constraints into the FMS.
Page 69 A green circular top of descent (TOD) marker and label is drawn on the map when flying “on-path” along the FMS flight plan, giving a clear visual cue when it is appropriate to begin the enroute descent. It is based on the vertical constraint associated with a down-path waypoint.
Page 70 COOL FEATURE Range to Altitude Indication A small green arc will be drawn on the map that depicts the geographic point where, at the current vertical speed, the aircraft will reach the altitude target. The altitude target is any crossing restriction on a waypoint that is either manually entered or a part of a procedure (see section 2-13).
Page 71: Entering An Arrival And Approach
alternate and its published approach. Similarly, a training flight with multiple intended approaches and locations can all be created in a single flight plan, before takeoff. TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Check Altitude Too Low CAS Message The IFD contains a yellow caution CAS message that is active whenever an approach has been activated and the aircraft altitude is below the Final Approach Fix (FAF) published altitude.
Page 72 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES FMS Preview A FMS Preview mode is available on the FPL tab (split Map-FPL view) of the FMS page. As soon as changes start to be made to the FMS flight plan while on that tab, real-time overlays of the edited procedure, hold pattern, waypoint or airway are presented on the map in cyan.

Page 79: Route Tab
ROUTE TAB The ROUTE tab is where flight plans or routes are stored within the system. Up to 100 routes can be stored for later use, which is useful for frequently traveled routes. A stored route must first be “activated” via the “Activate Route” LSK, which makes it the active flight plan and displays the flight plan (FPL) tab.

touching the route name field to generate a keyboard. The keyboard can be used or twist the bottom right IFD knob to start creating a new route name. When the naming is complete, press the “Enter” button on the keyboard or push the bottom right IFD knob again to accept the new route name.
Page 81: Copying A Route
COPYING A ROUTE To copy an existing route for later use or modification, highlight the desired route from the ROUTE tab by either touching the row or using the bottom right IFD knob. Once the desired route to be copied is highlighted, press the “Copy” LSK along the left edge of the display.
Page 82: Inverting A Route
This will present a copy of the original route that can then be edited as required. INVERTING A ROUTE To invert an existing route for later use or modification, highlight the desired route from the ROUTE tab by either touching the row or using the bottom right IFD knob.
Page 83: Deleting A Route
Activate Route LSK This will display the now active route in the FPL tab. DELETING A ROUTE To delete an existing route from the stored routes list, highlight the desired route from the ROUTE tab by either touching the row or using the bottom right IFD knob.
Page 84: Creating A User Waypoint
User Waypoints Tab CREATING A USER WAYPOINT There are 4 methods of creating a user waypoint from the “WPT” tab of the FMS page:  Present Position – Press the “PPOS” LSK to create a waypoint with your current position. No further action is required.
Page 85: Naming A User Waypoint
or by using a combination of twists and pushes of the bottom right IFD knob to enter the data. Press the “Enter” LSK to create and save that new waypoint. Some external EFIS systems (e.g. Bendix King EFS 40/50, Collins Pro Line 21, etc) can also create and send user waypoints to the IFD.
Page 86: Nrst (Nearest) Tab
When used in a flight plan, the user-defined airport will display as a no-known-runway-orientation type of an airfield on the map. User Waypoint Airfield Depiction on Map NRST (NEAREST) TAB The Nearest page has two display formats – full page Nearest and a split Map-Nearest combination.
Page 87 Split Nearest Tab The “Nearest” LSK along the left edge can be used to cycle through the various nearest types. Choices include:  Nearest Airports  Nearest Airports to Destination  Nearest VORs  Nearest NDBs  Nearest Intersections  Nearest ARTCCs (out to 200nm from ownship) ...
Page 88 If the highlighted item is an airport, pressing the Direct-To function key on the bezel will display the Direct-To green dialog box with the highlighted airport pre-populated as the Direct-To location. If the Nearest page is left for 60 seconds or more and then is returned to, the Nearest Airports selection will be the active nearest data type no matter what the last nearest data type may have been.
Page 89: Map
Map Pages This section covers the Map page tabs including the map display modes and controls, terrain awareness and alerting, weather datalink, weather radar and synthetic vision view. MAP TAB The map has several formats and views. There is both a full map depiction as well as a datablock map depiction.
Page 90 current range numeric is replaced by “Min” and “Max” for two seconds before timing back out to the actual range number when at the two range extremes. Pressing the knob cycles through the various map views. The map view selected is indicated at the top of the map next to the heading box.
Page 91 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Map Content Control Map features displayed are highly dependent on a combination of the map view, map range, map declutter settings, and user setup choices. For example, if the flight plan concludes at an airfield, the airfield identifier may be automatically decluttered in favor of the waypoint identifier that represents the airfield from the flight plan.
Page 92 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Heading/Track Digital Display Can Be Removed A map setup choice provides a means to remove the heading/track digital readout box from the top of the map. This is intended to provide a method to increase usable map space, especially on dual IFD installations where cleaner maps are desired.
Page 93: Other Map Features
OTHER MAP FEATURES The table below defines other map features.

Page 97 FEATURE Fuel Range Ring The green fuel range ring depicted on the map provides a visual indication of the max range of the aircraft, allowing a 45-minute reserve (helicopter reserves are set at 20 minutes). Winds are indirectly taken into account. The calculation uses groundspeed to compute the size of the circle and is based on the value of the fuel totalizer.
Page 98: Decluttering The Map
COOL FEATURE Optional Airspace Aural Alerting If selected on the User Options page, an aural alert “Airspace Ahead” will be issued when an imminent airspace penetration is anticipated. This is designed to happen approximately 5 minutes (± 30 sec) prior to the projected airspace penetration. The aural alert will repeat every 10 seconds until the condition is removed or the associated CAS message is acknowledged.
Page 99: Map Panning
MAP PANNING Panning the map is accomplished by dragging a finger along the display in the direction of desired panning. When panning away from the ownship depiction, a cross-hair cursor is displayed and a readout of the bearing and distance from present position to the cross-hair cursor position is displayed next to the cross-hair cursor.

Page 103 somewhere else on the display. A few examples are depicted in the images below. Note that in every case, there is a page count in the bottom right corner of each pop-up box. For those boxes that indicate more than one page (e.g. VOR co-located with an airfield), touching the pop-up box switches between the various pages of the pop-up box.
Page 104 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES METAR page on Map Popup Pages Delayed If the airfield being touched to generate the map info popup box is not in your active flight plan or nearest list, there will be approximately a 1 second delay before the METAR page will created.
Page 105: Datalink Weather Overlays And Operations
NOTE Datalink Data Accuracy Avidyne does not control, review, or edit the information made available by the datalink products, and is therefore not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of that information.
Page 106: Datalink Radar
DATALINK RADAR The Datalink radar is a composite image depicting precipitation as seen by multiple ground-based weather radar sites. The image is color-coded to show intensity levels and precipitation types and is overlaid on top of any other map features, including terrain alerting.
Page 107: Weather Overlays On Map
displayed as “islands of precipitation” surrounded by the hatched lines. ADS-B (“FIS-B”) radar data coverage areas can be very irregular shaped areas – the geometry is dependent on how many transmission sites are in view and how much data has been received by the on-board receiver.
Page 108 For those installations with dual IFDs and more than one type of weather source (e.g. GDL-69 and a SkyTrax100) in the aircraft, Avidyne recommends wiring one weather source to one IFD and the other weather source to the second IFD The current display priority is GDL-69, MLB700, AV300/350, SkyTrax100.

Page 116: Terrain
TERRAIN Both Terrain Awareness (TA) and the optional Forward Looking Terrain Alerting (FLTA) are meant to serve as an aid to situational awareness. They are intended to provide terrain and obstacle awareness in the proximity of your aircraft. They are not meant to be the sole means of terrain or obstacle avoidance.
Page 117 indications on the map pages. TA is automatically turned off when well clear of terrain which is 3000’ (1500’ for helicopters). Any obstacle in the database within a 5nm radius of the aircraft position and whose top is within 2000’ vertically (above or below) of the aircraft altitude will generate a cyan (blue) threat bubble over the obstacle on the map pages.
Page 118: Forward Looking Terrain Alerting (Flta)
FORWARD LOOKING TERRAIN ALERTING (FLTA) The optional FLTA function looks ahead of the airplane projecting the airplane’s lateral and vertical flight path and provides suitable alerts if a potential terrain or obstacle threat exists. FLTA alerting is triggered by either a projected imminent impact with terrain or obstacle or reduced terrain and obstacle clearance.
Page 119 Each unique FLTA alert will generate a new Master Caution lamp illumination (flashing yellow or red “AUX” Page Function key), a new CAS message, a new aural alert, and display the elliptical solid yellow/red coloration on the maps. Each unique FLTA alert can be acknowledged by touching the CAS message or pressing the “CLR”...

In aircraft that have this feature enabled, it can be optionally turned on/off via the User Options page.
Page 122: Traffic Display
TRAFFIC DISPLAY When integrated with an optional traffic system (e.g. TAS, TIS, TCAS, TIS-B), the IFD will display traffic information for sensed aircraft and provide aural and visual alerting for traffic considered a threat. Traffic data will always be displayed as an overlay on the map and can also be selected as a datablock option on the left or right side of the display.

Page 129: Synthetic Vision (Svs) Tab
SYNTHETIC VISION (SVS) TAB The optional SVS tab on the MAP page provides a hybrid view of your aircraft and flight plan from a virtual wingman who is flying above and behind your present position. This is an “exocentric” view. The aircraft ownship symbol is displayed just like the 2D map as well as the shadow it casts on the ground.
Page 130 Zoomed In Map SVS View Just like in the 2D map, the hatched red and yellow Terrain Awareness can be displayed in the view (controllable via the same on/off control in User Options) and for those units with the optional FLTA active, the solid red warning and yellow caution areas are drawn in real-time on the map.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES OBS “Final” OBS mode can be used to create a user-defined course into a waypoint/fix or an airfield. Once in OBS mode, use the external course knob to set the desired inbound course to the fix or airfield. All guidance, including that sent to an autopilot, will now be with respect to that user-defined course.
Page 201: Fms Hooks
FMS HOOKS There are shortcuts to accomplish typical FMS actions on the FPL tab of the FMS page. The L3 LSK will present the most appropriate selection from the table below based on the flight state or scenario at the moment. Pressing the LSK or the soft key label adjacent to the LSK will accomplish the action.
Page 202 Enable A/P Displayed for specific autopilots (e.g. KAP140, KFC225) when the FMS determines it is time for the autopilot to be Approach in Approach mode but does not have any control or knowledge of the actual autopilot state. This case is just a prompt, and no pilot action must be taken on the IFD.
Page 203: Course Changes And Holds
COURSE CHANGES AND HOLDS If the course change at a waypoint is more than 120°, the IFD will issue an alert approximately 30 seconds prior to the turn. For course changes less than 120°, the alert will be issued approximately 10 seconds prior to the turn. For normal leg transitions, the alert text will be “Next Leg xxx°...
Page 204 Simiarly, the transition level can be manually set on the FMS Setup page by twisting the inner ring of the bottom right knob or by typing in a value in the virtual keyboard. Each click of the inner ring adjusts the value by one flight level (i.e. 100 feet). The alloable range is from FL010 to FL600.
Page 205: Navigation Mode/Cdi Scale Changing
Likewise, the advisory CAS message is displayed when the aircraft descends to an altitude 250 feet above the transition level. Once issued, the alert will not be eligible to be issued again unless the aircraft has climbed more than 500 feet above the transition level.
Page 206: Approach Procedures
APPROACH PROCEDURES Ensure the approach has been entered into the FMS flight plan, and that it is currently active in the IFD. An approach can be selected and flown as a full published procedure or as a Vectors-to-Final – the choice is made on the Transitions dropdown menu in the FMS.
Page 207: Precision Approaches
NOTE Displayed Inbound Course Due to mathematical rounding, it is possible that course being sent to an EFIS for digital display may be 1 degree off from the published approach chart.

Page 209 TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Nav Mode Datablock The Nav Mode datablock as defined in the Datablock definitions table in Section 4 of this manual will indicate the current navigation mode (e.g. OCN, ENRT, TERM, APPR, LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV+V, LNAV, etc). It is a default datablock and is an excellent means to know GPS integrity and mode.
Page 210 typically a 3 degree angle to the touchdown zone. This type of approach remains a non-precision approach and does not consider any step-down limitations. The Nav Mode datablock will display “LNAV+V” for the approach type. LNAV/VNAV (Lateral Navigation with Vertical Navigation) In this mode, the GPS provides lateral navigation, providing more accurate guidance than regular LNAV but easier to follow indications than a localizer.
Page 211 LP+V (Localizer Performance with Advisory Vertical Guidance) This mode provides the same lateral navigation as LP, but also presents an advisory glideslope deviation for display on the external deviation indicator. The GPS draws a 3-D picture of the approach based on crossing the FAF at the depicted altitude, which is typically a 3 degree angle to the touchdown zone.
