  • Page 13: System Overview

    This manual describes the operation of the BendixKing KI 300 Electronic Attitude Indicator and KA 310 Autopilot Adapter. It is intended for use by pilots operating the KI 300/KA 310 in normal and abnormal operating conditions. KI 300 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The KI 300 Electronic Attitude Indicator is a panel mounted attitude, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed and slip instrument.

  • Page 14: Ki 300 Functions

    KI 300/KA 310 Pilot’s Guide KI 300 FUNCTIONS The KI 300 performs the following functions: • Display of Indicated Airspeed (Knots or Mph) • Display of Barometric Altitude (Feet) • Display of Roll & Pitch (Fixed Pointer Format, Degrees) •...

  • Page 16: System Interfaces

    Altitude is barometrically corrected by the pilot entered baro value prior to being displayed. Aircraft power is the only electrical interface present for the KI 300. Communication to the KA 310 is the only data interface provided from the KI 300. No data interface is provided to other avionic systems in the aircraft.

  • Page 17: Ka 310 Product Description

    KA 310 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The KA 310 Autopilot Adapter is an optional remote mounted analog and digital unit. The unit receives attitude data from the KI 300 and converts the serial data into analog or digital outputs to support an interface to BendixKing legacy autopilots.

  • Page 18: Ka 310 Functions

    KI 300/KA 310 Pilot’s Guide KA 310 FUNCTIONS The KA 310 performs the following functions: • Converts data from the KI 300 into analog attitude outputs. • Converts data from the KI 300 into digital attitude outputs. • Analog Flight Director inputs converted to an output to the KI 300.

  • Page 19: System Interfaces

    AUTOPILOT INTERFACES When installed with the KI 300, the KA 310 is capable of providing attitude data for the following existing autopilot computers and also able to replace the KRG 331 yaw rate gyro.

  • Page 25: Indicated Airspeed Limits

    KI 300/KA 310 Pilot’s Guide INDICATED AIRSPEED LIMITS Airspeed limits are indicated by means of colored bands and radial lines as follows: Figure 9 IAS Limits The V and V are applicable to multi-engine aircraft only and will not be shown in single engine installations.

  • Page 26: Barometric Altitude

    KI 300/KA 310 Pilot’s Guide The Under-Speed band and surround coloring is only shown if the aircraft has previously exceeded V . Under-Speed indication is disabled prior to take-off. Airspeed limits can only be configured by an approved mechanic and are not pilot adjustable.

  • Page 27: Instantaneous Vertical Speed Indication (Ivsi)

    The bar will not appear until the vertical rate exceeds ±100 ft/min. A digital value is also presented to the pilot. The IVSI in the KI 300 uses both the rate of altitude change and the internal accelerometer to provide vertical speed with very little delay.

  • Page 28: Altitude Bug

    The Altitude Bug is enabled, disabled and adjusted using the Rotary Knob with Pushbutton. The altitude bug is for reference only and is not an altitude pre-select for the autopilot. NOTE: The altitude bug is for reference only. The KI 300 does not support altitude pre-select for the autopilot.
