Loss of GPS, magnetometer, or air data inputs is communicated to the pilot by
message advisory alerts. Any failure of the internal AHRS inertial sensors results in loss
of attitude and heading information (indicated by red 'X' flags over the corresponding
flight instruments). If the G3X senses that the magnetic heading measurement is valid,
but possibly outside of the internal accuracy limits, the numeric heading value on the
PFD is display in yellow.
If GPS input fails, the AHRS can continue to provide attitude and heading information
to the PFD as long as magnetometer and airspeed data are available and valid.
If the magnetometer input fails, the AHRS continues to output valid attitude
information; however, the heading output on the PFD Page is flagged as invalid with
a red 'X'.
Failure of the air data input has no effect on the AHRS output while AHRS is receiving
valid GPS information. Invalid/unavailable airspeed data in addition to GPS failure
results in loss of all attitude and heading information. Likewise, loss of magnetometer
(heading) data, in combination with loss of GPS data results in a loss of all attitude
and heading information.
