    Display of PFD information on MFD MFDs installed as part of the G3X touch system can display PFD information if manually selected by the pilot, or will automatically do so if the installed PFD display fails. The display of PFD information on an MFD is a duplication of the original PFD information and is not an independent compilation of data from other sources.

    The G3X Touch is capable of interfacing with several remote transponders providing Mode S interrogation and reply capabilities. Transponder tuning for panel mount transponders is also supported. Ground Mode Ground Mode is normally selected automatically when the aircraft is on the ground. The transponder powers up in the mode it was in when shut down.

  • Page 59: Aoa Probe (Optional)

    7.10 AOA Probe (Optional) The G3X Touch PFD will display angle of attack from the GAP 26 AOA probe if installed. The GSU 25D uses the pressure from the GAP 26 probe and the pitot/static pressures it already receives from the existing aircraft pitot/static system to determine the aircraft’s angle of attack (AOA).
