4.6.8 Flight Director Display
If autopilot flight director commands are interfaced to the G500, they will be
presented as a single cue flight director on the PFD. Control of the flight director
is accomplished via the autopilot/flight director controller; there are no pilot
controls or adjustments for the flight director on the G500.
The G500 system limits the distance the flight director pitch commands may
deviate from the aircraft attitude icon. In the event that the pitch command
provided by the autopilot flight director is greater than the distance allowed by
the G500, the command bars will be displayed at the maximum distance allowed
by the G500. As the aircraft pitch changes to satisfy the command bars, the bars
will continue to be displayed at the maximum distance from the aircraft attitude
icon until the aircraft pitch deviation is within the command display limit. In
both examples below, the flight director is commanding approximately 7
degrees pitch up. With SVT turned off, the 7 degree pitch up command is
displayed with the command bar at 7 degrees pitch up. With SVT turned on, the
G500 limits the command bar shown as 4.5 degrees pitch up, which is the
maximum deviation that can be displayed. The G500 system will hold the
command bars at the same distance from the aircraft icon until the aircraft pitch
attitude is within 4.5 degrees of the command.
