G-METER
Whenever the G load on the airplane goes above +2.1G or below -0.5G, the HSI is
temporally replaced with a large graphical G-meter. To remove the G-meter, press the
CLR Key. Regardless of the current G load, the HSI can be replaced with a G-meter by
changing the 'G METER' setting on the PFD setup page. The G-meter will be displayed
until the setting is changed to auto or the power is cycled. Small white triangles are
used to indicate the minimum and maximum recorded G loads. When in the auto
display mode, the G-meter will automatically be displayed when an unusual attitude is
sensed (i.e., greater than +/- 65° roll or +30°/-20° pitch). Refer to the G3X installation
manual for more information on configuring the G-meter.
Manually displaying the G-meter:
1) From the full screen PFD and/or split screen PFD Page, press the MENU Key.
2) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight G METER.
3) Turn the FMS Joystick to select 'ON (NO HSI)'.
Resetting the G-meter minimum and maximum markers:
1) From the full screen PFD and/or split screen PFD Page, press the MENU Key.
2) Press the RESET G Softkey to reset the minimum and maximum recorded G
loads.
