Page 23: Welcome And Introduction
Chapter 1 Welcome and Introduction Welcome to Aspen Avionics’ Evolution Flight Display (EFD) System, the most flexible, expandable, and upgradable Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) available for general aviation aircraft. Designed to replace traditional mechanical primary flight instruments—in whole or in part, all at once, or in phases.
Page 24 The center of the EFD System is the EFD 1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD), which replaces the traditional mechanical Attitude Indicator (AI) and Directional Gyro (DG), (Figure 1-2). Course Deviation Indicator or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) The PFD is available in three models—the EFD 1000 Pilot, EFD1000 VFR and the EFD 1000 Pro.
Page 25 NOTE NOTE Please spend some time with your aircraft flight manual supplement and avionics With multiple EFD installations, an independent, installer to understand exactly how your PFD is installed and configured in your standby attitude indicator must be within the pilot’ s particular aircraft, to understand the features and capabilities available to you, and to primary maximum field of view.

Page 28: Configuration Module (Cm)
1.1.2. Configuration Module (CM) The Configuration Module (Figure 1-7), contains an EEPROM device that retains system configuration and calibration data and provides two primary functions: • Retains aircraft-specific configuration information, calibration data, and user settings, allowing the PFD to be swapped for service purposes without re-entering Figure 1-7 or re-calibrating the installation Configuration Module (CM)
Page 29: Remote Sensor Module (Rsm)
1.1.4. Remote Sensor Module (RSM) The Remote Sensor Module (RSM) (Figure 1-9), is an integral part of the EFD1000 system and works together with the display unit sensors as part of the AHRS and ADC. The RSM looks and mounts like a GPS antenna and is mounted on the exterior of the fuselage, typically aft of the cabin.
Page 30: Evolution Databases
1.1.6. Evolution Databases The EFD 1000 VFR PFD doesn’t require a data base. The Evolution MFD includes two separate databases loaded on a microSD card; one from Jeppesen and one from Seattle Avionics Software. • The Jeppesen database consists of NavData®, Obstacle, Cultural, and Terrain data. • The Seattle Avionics database features Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) charts, Departure charts, Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) charts, and airport diagrams.
Page 31: Controls And Display
Chapter 2 Controls and Display The VFR PFD is a flat-panel LCD primary flight instrument that presents the pilot with all of the information from the traditional six-pack of mechanical instruments: Airspeed, Attitude, Altitude, Turn Coordinator, Heading Indicator and Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI). Modern technology and standard EFIS symbology enable the consolidation of all six instruments into a single display, tightening the pilot’s instrument scan and reducing pilot workload.

Page 49: Display
2.3. Display The PFD replaces the existing Attitude Indicator and DG in the center of the primary flight instrument cluster. Like the instruments it replaces, the top half presents an Attitude Display and the bottom half contains a Navigation Display (Figure 2-26). Between the two halves is the Data Bar.
Page 50: Cleaning The Display Screen
The PFD generally follows standard display conventions for Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS), so a pilot with some experience and familiarity with other EFIS PFDs will usually transition quickly to using the EFD1000. Pilots for whom the EFD1000 PFD is their first real exposure to EFIS and glass cockpit flying, however, should get some transition training from a certified flight instructor (CFI) with EFIS experience.
Page 51: Attitude Display
2.3.2. Attitude Display The Attitude Display includes an Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) (when connected to a compatible autopilot), an Airspeed tape, an Altimeter tape, an Altitude Alerter, Radio Altitude, approach minimums annunciations, and approach course and glide slope indicators (Table 2-6 and Figure 2-27), (see Chapter 4, Reference Guide for more details).

Page 60: Numerical Direction Indicator (Magnetic Compass)
2.3.4.1. Numerical Direction Indicator (Magnetic Compass) The center of the Navigation Display is the Numerical Direction Indicator. Like a magnetic compass, the NDI always shows the current magnetic heading of the aircraft. This NDI compensates both for the turning and acceleration errors exhibited by wet compasses and for precession errors found in common Directional Gyros.
Page 61: Navigation Information
Navigation Information Regardless of Compass Mode setting, the current magnetic heading is always shown at the top center of the Navigation Display (Figure 2-2, No. 50 and Figure 2-38). The HDG Bug setting is shown in the Selected Heading Field (Figure 2-2, No. 52). This field Figure 2-38 is always visible even if the HDG Bug itself is only partially visible in ARC Compass Mode.
Page 62: Deviation Off-Scale Indication
2.3.4.3. Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) In the 360º Compass Mode, the Course Pointer and CDI displays an arrowhead pointing to the selected course, and a movable center diamond indicating course deviation against a scale of two dots to either side of the center. A TO/FROM/LOC indication is shown to the left of the course deviation scale.
Page 63: Rate Of Turn Indicator
Auto Course Select is indicated by an inverse A on a green background, adjacent to both the numerical CRS value and the CRS Left Knob State. (Figure 2-44 and Figure 2-45). Figure 2-44 Auto Course Indication on CRS Field If the GPS navigator enters the OBS or HOLD mode, Auto Course Select is automatically disabled on the EFD1000 VFR PFD until the GPS navigator resumes waypoint sequencing.

3.2. Example Flight Scenario This section will walk you through using the PFD on a flight from Albuquerque International Sunport (KABQ) to Reno/Tahoe International Airport (KRNO), flying NOTE Victor airways. This scenario uses one pilot’s technique for setting up the navigation The tasks and procedures you will use in your airplane instruments, but there are many other valid possibilities.
Page 72: Pre-Departure (Startup)
3.2.1. Pre-Departure (Startup) Once the pre-flight inspections and checklists are complete, start the engines and turn on the PFD Master switch. When power is applied to the PFD, the bezel backlighting illuminates and within a few seconds the PFD splash screen displays while it initializes and the AHRS data is validated (Figure 3-2).
Page 73 Turn the Avionics Master ON. Until the navigation radios are operational, the CDI Navigation Source annunciations on the PFD is slashed as invalid (Figure 3-4), and the GPS1, GPS2 caution annunciations on the left (Figure 3-5), and INTEG caution annunciated on the right edge of the display. The CDI Navigation Source Select will default to VLOC1 the first time the PFD is turned on.
Page 74 Once the radios are available, we listen to the ATIS and learn that the local altimeter setting is 30.15 and that Runway 8 is in use for departures. WARNING First set the standby altimeter to 30.15, and then set the PFD barometric pressure Whenever there is a new altimeter setting, set both the setting.
Page 75 Next, since we’ll be departing from Runway 8, we set our Heading Bug to runway heading, 080°. Set the Heading Bug Press the Right Knob until HDG displays above the knob and the HDG field is enabled for editing, both rendered in magenta (Figure 3-8). The Heading Bug will also be rendered in magenta, and a dashed magenta line will extend from the ownship symbol to the Heading Bug to make it easier to see the bug position.

Then turn the knob until 120 shows in the Selected Airspeed Field. Set the Airspeed Bug Figure 3-24 Press the Left Knob until IAS displays above the Left Knob and the Selected...
Page 83: Departure
3.2.2. Departure As we start the takeoff roll, we note the airspeed on the PFD comes “alive” at 20 KIAS. All indications are normal, so we continue the takeoff, rotate at 80 KIAS. As we run out of Figure 3-27 usable runway to land, we bring the gear up, and soon we’re over the end of the 13,800 ft.
Page 84 Auto Course Select has already set our Course Pointer to the 255º course from ABQ to ZUN and a 220º heading sets us up for a nice intercept. We pitch a little higher to climb at 115 KIAS through 8,000 for traffic, then lower the nose to maintain our target airspeed of 120 KIAS by reference to the Airspeed Bug.

Page 86 With GPS Steering (GPSS), a compatible GPS navigator (in this case, a Garmin 430W) drives the autopilot directly via the autopilot’s HDG mode, telling it how to bank to stay centered on course. GPSS can drive the autopilot far more accurately than the NAV mode (which is based on course deviation indications) because the GPS always knows the ground track and how to adjust to maintain that track, implicitly accounting for changing wind conditions.
Page 87: Conclusion
Display the Lightning Overlay Display the 2/2 Hot Key Menu. Press the LTNG Hot Key until the STRK label is shown in green next to the Hot Key (Figure 3-35). The STRK mode annunciation appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Navigation Display, showing a yellow X for Strike mode, and a strike rate of 6 (moderate lightning activity) (Figure 3-36).
Page 88 CAUTION The Garmin 400/500 series navigators continue to output GPS Steering commands to follow the GPS flight plan even when the CDI source is set to VLOC. The PFD permits GPSS to be enabled even when VLOC is selected as the CDI navigation source. Whenever the GPSS is on and the autopilot is in the HDG mode, the autopilot will fly the GPS flight plan.

Chapter 4 Reference Guide The PFD is a panel-mounted Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) 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 92: 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 93: 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 94: 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 PFD and analog standby instruments. Should one or both of these pitot and static lines become blocked, both the PFD and any standby airspeed and altitude indicators could display erroneous airspeed and altitude information.
Page 95: Heading
In summary, loss or degradation of the PFD 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 PFD should be considered to be compromised.
Page 96: 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 97: Degraded Adahrs Performance
Two minutes after detection, a FREE GYRO MODE annunciation will be presented across the Navigation display, 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. ...

4.4.12. 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 129: Basemap Declutter And Range
4.4.12.1. 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 130 The PFD 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 131: 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.

The information provided here is intended to provide additional background information to enhance the pilot’s understanding of the emergency and abnormal conditions and the associated procedures provided in the AFMS.
Page 176: 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 PFD’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 177 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 178: 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 PFD’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 179 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 180 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 PFD systems (it takes about 40 seconds to recover after the pitot pressure is restored).
Page 181: 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. Turn Pitot heat ON. Consider exiting IMC. Land as soon as practicable For a detailed explanation of when and why the PFD may display a CROSS CHECK ATTITUDE annunciation, either momentarily or persistently, see Chapter 4, Section 4.1.
