SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2.1 G5 Electronic Flight Instrument

The G5 Electronic Flight Instrument is shown in Figure 2-1 . The G5 is an electronic flight instrument
display operating as a standalone flight display. It features a bright, sunlight readable, 3.5-inch color
display which is sized to fit in a standard 3-1/8-inch instrument cutout. The G5 contains integrated
attitude/air data sensors that provides display of attitude and secondary display of air data information.

Figure 2-1 G5 Electronic Flight Instrument

The G5 calculates aircraft attitude using information from its built-in inertial sensors. If the G5 senses that
the attitude solution is valid, but not yet within the internal accuracy limits, "ALIGNING" is displayed. The
G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.
The G5 will also use GPS and airspeed data to provide the most accurate attitude information. If none of
these additional sources of information are available, attitude calculations will still be valid but accuracy
may be slightly affected.
The G5 attitude functions are shown below:
• Pitch
• Roll
The G5 has a Turn Rate Indicator located at the bottom of the PFD Page. Tick marks to the left and right
of the displayed heading denote standard turn rates (3 deg/sec). A magenta Turn Rate Trend Vector
