  • Page 19: Warnings, Cautions, And Notes

    Warnings, Cautions, and Notes Where applicable warnings, cautions, and notes are given. Aspen Avionics uses the following icons and definitions (Table 3). Icon Definition Emphasizes a crucial operating or maintenance procedure, which, if not strictly observed, could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or long Warning term health hazards.

  • Page 20: Example Graphics

    Pilot Familiarity While the EBD is reasonably intuitive and easy to use, some familiarity with Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) is required. Aspen Avionics strongly recommends that new users of the EBD get some dual instruction from an experienced instrument CFI, and spend some time becoming familiar with the EBD in day VFR conditions with a safety pilot, before flying in actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).

  • Page 69: Chapter 4 Reference Guide

    Chapter 4 Reference Guide The Evolution Backup Display is a panel-mounted digital backup flight display system that presents the pilot with displays of attitude, altitude, indicated airspeed, heading, rate of turn, slip/skid, and navigation course deviation information. The system also displays supplemental flight data, such as winds, TAS, OAT, groundspeed, moving maps, pilot-selectable indices (bugs), and various annunciations to increase situational awareness and enhance flight safety.

  • Page 70: Air Data, Attitude And Heading Reference System (Adahrs)

    4.1. Air Data, Attitude and Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) One of the many benefits of glass cockpit systems like the Aspen Evolution system is that they replace old, less-reliable mechanical instruments and sensors with electronic equivalents. For aircraft primary flight instruments, spinning metal gyros are replaced with electronic gyros and accelerometers, and mechanical air data instruments (airspeed indicator, altimeter, and VSI) are replaced by electronic sensors to measure static and ram air pressures.

  • Page 71: Attitude

    4.1.1. Attitude The Aspen ADAHRS attitude solution uses inputs from its internal three-axis accelerometers, rate gyros, and magnetometers, supplemented by ram and static air pressure inputs from the aircraft pitot-static system. Failures or incorrect input from any of these sensors (such as might occur if the pitot tube or static system become blocked) will affect the attitude solution.

  • Page 72: Pitot Obstruction Monitor

    4.1.2. Pitot Obstruction Monitor Most light aircraft have only a single pitot and static system available for flight instrument use. As such, a common pitot and static input is shared between the EBD and analog standby instruments. Should one or both of these pitot and static lines become blocked, both the EBD and any standby airspeed and altitude indicators could display erroneous airspeed and altitude information.

  • Page 73: Heading

    In summary, loss or degradation of the EBD attitude solution is unlikely if the pilot assures the proper operation of the pitot-static system. If the pitot or static system becomes blocked, an ADAHRS internal sensor fails, or a CROSS CHECK ATTITUDE indication is frequent or persists, the attitude indication on the EBD should be considered to be compromised.

  • Page 74: Free Gyro Mode

    Just like other compass systems, the accuracy of the fluxgate is affected by its location on the airframe. Ferrous metal structures, electrical fields produced by motors, pumps, wiring, magnets in cabin speakers and other airframe-related sources of interference either constant or momentary (i.e. operating an electric trim motor, windshield heat, pumps, etc) can all affect the accuracy of the compass.

  • Page 75: Degraded Adahrs Performance

    Two minutes after detection, a FREE GYRO MODE annunciation will be presented across the HSI, indicating the heading system no longer can be aligned with magnetic north.  Some precession of the heading is possible, especially during abrupt maneuvers.  If the condition persists for four more minutes (six minutes total) the attitude and heading indicators will be removed and replaced with red X indications. ...

    4.2. Attitude Display 4.2.1. Attitude Indicator The Attitude Indicator consists of an aircraft reference symbol on a blue (sky) and brown (ground) background. The white horizon line separates the sky from the ground and extends to the edge of the display. The Roll Scale curves over the top of the Attitude Indicator while the Pitch Scale extends vertically in the middle.

    4.4.5. Basemap Overlays The Basemap comprises symbols depicting the location of flight plan waypoints and legs, airports, VORs, DMEs, NDBs, and intersections. The Basemap is always oriented with magnetic heading up and centered so that the current aircraft position coincides with the aircraft’s Ownship Symbol.

  • Page 96: Basemap Declutter And Range

    4.4.5.1. Basemap Declutter and Range To turn the Basemap on or off, the pilot selects one of the declutter levels as described in Section 5.2. The default map declutter level is Level 4. The map range corresponds to the outside radius of the compass scale, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, or 200 nautical miles from the aircraft Ownship Symbol.
  • Page 97 The EBD has an Auto Range feature that automatically scales the range (to the closest range setting) to fit the Aircraft Ownship and the active waypoint within the Navigation Display, e.g., if the active waypoint is 84 miles away, Auto Range will select a 100nm range (the closest range setting is 100nm).

  • Page 98: Flight Plan

    Auto Range is only available when a flight plan is active. Since Auto Range uses the distance between the present position and the next active waypoint to compute the appropriate map range, if the currently Selected CDI Navigation Source does not have a valid flight plan, then Auto Range is not selectable.

  • Page 120: Pitot/Static System Blockage

    6.1. Pitot/Static System Blockage A pitot line blockage will result in the airspeed indicator behaving like an altimeter when the aircraft’s altitude changes, and it will not respond to airspeed changes. A pitot line blockage can also affect the EBD’s attitude indication. A static line blockage will result in altitude remaining fixed and a zero vertical speed despite aircraft pitch and/or power setting changes.
  • Page 121 Blocked Pitot or Static Line Suspected Turn Pitot heat ON Open the Alternate Static Source Refer to alternate attitude, airspeed, altitude, and heading sources for primary flight information Consider exiting IMC Land as soon as practicable CAUTION Most light aircraft have only a single pitot and static port available for flight instrument use.

  • Page 122: Identifying And Handling Suspected Pitot And/Or Static System Failures

    6.1.1. Identifying and Handling Suspected Pitot and/or Static System Failures Blocked pitot and/or static system ports will compromise the EBD’s attitude solution and soon cause it to Red-X (fail). Immediately begin flying by reference to backup attitude sources. Therefore, the pilot must be especially vigilant about verifying proper operation of the pitot and static systems both before and during flight.
  • Page 123 On the initial climb-out after takeoff, it is also good practice to note and call out passing through a pre-determined altitude above ground level (AGL) a couple of minutes after takeoff and ideally before entering the clouds (e.g., “2,000 feet”). If your primary and backup instruments are not showing the altitude and airspeed you normally expect to see at that point, you might have partially blocked static system ports.
  • Page 124 Airspeed going to zero is by far the most common symptom of a blocked pitot tube. If you see either of these indications of a blocked pitot tube, the first thing to do is turn on the pitot heat to remove any ice blockage. This will quickly restore the attitude and airspeed indications on the EBD systems (it takes about 40 seconds to recover after the pitot pressure is restored).

  • Page 125: Frequent Or Persistent Cross Check Attitude Annunciation

    6.2. Frequent or Persistent CROSS CHECK ATTITUDE Annunciation Refer to alternate attitude, airspeed, altitude, and heading sources for primary flight information. Consider the following: CROSS CHECK ATTITUDE Reference standby mechanical attitude indicator – do not rely on the EBD attitude display. Turn Pitot heat ON.

  • Page 126: Abnormal Shutdown Procedure

    6.4. Abnormal Shutdown Procedure The EBD is typically powered through an EBD master switch that is connected to the aircraft’s Battery bus. Normally, the EBD will power down when the EBD Master switch is turned OFF or when aircraft power is removed when on the ground. To force the EBD to power down, the following procedures are provided.
