  • Page 4 Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the G500H. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.
  • Page 5 WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G500H Multi Function Display is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather.
  • Page 6 WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the G500H within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications.

  • Page 17: System Overview

    SYSTEM OVERVIEW System Description This section provides an overview of the G500H Avionics Display System. The G500H system is an integrated display system that presents primary flight instrumentation, navigation, and a moving map to the pilot through large-format displays. In normal operating mode, the Primary Flight Display (PFD) presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed), replacing the traditional flight instrument cluster.

  • Page 18: Standard System Line Replaceable Units (Lru)

    The system combines primary flight instrumentation, navigational information, and a moving map all displayed on dual color screens. The G500H system is composed of sub-units or Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). LRUs have a modular design, which greatly eases troubleshooting and maintenance of the G500H system.

  • Page 19: Gdu 620

    The Air Data Computer (ADC) compiles information from the pitot/static system and an Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor. The ADC provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G500H system. The ADC communicates with the GDU 620 and AHRS using an ARINC 429 digital interface.
