  • Page 15: Redundancy

    There are additional capabilities controlling the S-TEC 55X over previous Avidyne flight displays. In this system, the FMS will issue autopilot mode commands to/from NAV and GPSS as it follows along the active flight plan. This eliminates the need for manually pressing the autopilot control head buttons and reduces pilot workload in many flight scenarios.

  • Page 16: Modular Design

    This system was designed to be modular; modular in the overall architecture, hardware, software and from a packaging perspective. This approach produces future extensibility and provides Avidyne with flexibility in adapting the system to meet future needs.

If that is not the desired point, start by either typing the intended Direct-To destination identifier into the keypad or use either the “FMS” knob on the keyboard or the right-hand knob on the IFD to scroll up or down the flight plan until the intended Direct-To destination is present in the green Direct-To dialog box.

  • Page 61: Creating A Holding Pattern

    CREATING A HOLDING PATTERN A hold can be put on any waypoint that has a fix terminated leg – waypoints that terminate with a lat or lon position such as navaids, enroute waypoints, user waypoints, airports, etc. Legs that terminate at an altitude, DME distance, radial crossings, etc. do not support attaching a hold.

  • Page 62: Flight Plan Sequencing

    COOL FEATURE Graphical Flight Plan Leg Each leg of a flight plan is capable of displaying a graphical representation of the leg. This is especially useful for procedure turns and holding patterns. Procedure Turn with Course Reversal FLIGHT PLAN SEQUENCING The FMS assumes that the pilot will attempt to fly the flight plan as defined.

  • Page 63: Gaps Or Discontinuities In Flight Plans

    The electronic version of this guide contains the Lateral Offsets video clip. GAPS OR DISCONTINUITIES IN FLIGHT PLANS A “Gap In Route” will appear within the flight plan when there is a discontinuity between legs. A discontinuity is an informative row that appears when the FMS cannot compute the guidance to the next leg due to an invalid leg type combination based on a preset guidance rules.

  • Page 64: Use Of Nearest Function

    DATALINK OPERATIONS BROADCAST DATALINK The Broadcast link is a transmission to your aircraft via the WSI/Sirius system to the integrated Avidyne MLB700. Broadcast Datalink requires a fixed monthly subscription and the receiver receives WSI-provided weather data continuously. You can control display of the received data on the various moving map pages.
  • Page 65 WSI provides US RADAR, METARS, TAFs. Product availability depends on the level of WSI subscription chosen. DATALINK RADAR Diagonal stripes show the Datalink radar data coverage area. In normal operation the boundary follows the outline of CONUS. If, however, Datalink radar is unavailable in a particular area for any reason, the hatched lines appear in that area.

    Some loss of display scenarios will be automatically detected and the system will visually behave as it would in a loss of IFD scenario but the system is still fully functional despite having no working display. This means you still have two functional ADAHRS, two functional GPS, VHF, I/O cards, etc.

    LOSS OF AHRS, AIR DATA OR ADAHRS (DUAL) Under normal operating cases in dual ADAHRS systems, each IFD displays its own ADAHRS information. In the event of an ADAHRS failure, normally the good ADAHRS is auto selected for display on all IFDs. Since the ADAHRS Source switch defaults to Auto at each power up, normally there is no action that will be required in this case.

    data, air data, wind vector data, heading data, and HSI navigation data are removed from the display and replaced by red-Xs. Since there is no redundancy built into these IFDs, immediately transition to back-up instruments for the remainder of the flight. During IFR flights, proceed to the nearest VMC conditions and do not re-enter IMC.

    Warmstart Box FAST ERECT Some types of attitude problems are recoverable in flight. These can be considered the equivalent of a tumbled gyro. In most cases, the ADAHRS Source selection is set to Auto. This means that if one of the IFD ADAHRS experiences this type of attitude problem, the system automatically switches the display of attitude to the cross-side ADAHRS.

    When you press “Start Fast Erect”, the message box will change to “Maintain straight and level flight” until the 10-second count- down timer expires. As that point, all attitude data is restored. Note: It is imperative that you obtain straight and level flight before pressing “Start Fast Erect”.
