PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)

Introduction

This reference guide covers the operation of the GDU 620 as integrated in the
G500 system. The G500 Avionics Display System is an advanced technology
avionics suite designed to replace the traditional fl ight instrument cluster. The
system combines primary fl ight instrumentation, navigational information, and
a moving map all displayed on dual 6.5 inch color screens. The G500 system is
composed of sub-units or Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). LRUs have a modular
design and can be installed directly behind the instrument panel or in a separate
avionics bay if desired. This design greatly eases troubleshooting and maintenance
of the G500 system. A failure or problem can be isolated to a particular LRU,
which can be replaced quickly and easily. Each LRU has a particular function,
or set of functions, that contributes to the system' s operation. For more details
on the G500 system, refer to the G500 Pilot' s Guide, P/N 190-01102-02 Rev. A
or later.
