  • Page 14: System Description

    System Description General The EFD1000 system is a flat-panel LCD primary flight instrument that presents the pilot with displays of attitude, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, slaved compass, slip/skid, and rate of turn information. The display head incorporates a solid-state Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) to provide data for the flight instruments.
  • Page 15 System) or 25.6V (28V Electrical System) the EFD will automatically switch to its internal battery (e.g. aircraft charging system failure). The EFD1000 internal battery will provide at least 30 minutes of power when it is fully charged. The battery provides power to the display head, RSM and emergency GPS.

  • Page 19 EFD1000 (Pro) Airplane Flight Manual Supplement Hot Key Operation 6.2.7 During normal operations, the five line select soft-keys on the lower right side of the display bezel are referred to as “Hot Keys.” Hot Keys provide single-action access to frequently used functions. An electronic legend adjacent to each Hot Key indicates its hot key function.

    The traditional HSI is an instrument which combines a Direction Indicator overlaid with a rotating Course Deviation Indicator (CDI). The HSI on the EFD1000 can be presented in either a full 360 degree compass rose mode, or in a 100 degree ARC format.
  • Page 28 EFD1000 (Pro) Airplane Flight Manual Supplement Figure 21 - 360 Compass Mode Within the ARC mode, the pilot may select (via the main menu) between two different formats of CDI presentation – ARC HSI mode and ARC CDI mode. The ARC HSI mode, presents traditional rotating CDI symbology which resembles that used in the HSI 360 Compass mode.
  • Page 29 Figure 28 - Off Scale VDI Auto Course Control The pilot may configure the EFD1000 (via the main menu) to enable “Auto Course Select” whereby a connected GPS will automatically set the course (CRS) value whenever the GPS is auto sequencing between waypoints. This capability relieves the pilot from manually setting the course at each waypoint transition along a GPS route.
  • Page 30 Figure 30 - GPS Annunciations GPS Track Indicator Whenever the EFD1000 is connected to a compatible GPS a track indicator is provided. Track is indicated as a blue diamond rendered on the compass scale at the value that corresponds to the current aircraft track.

The active leg waypoint and its associated identifier are displayed in magenta.

  • Page 33: Autopilot Integration

    This assures that the navigation information presented on the EFD1000 is the same as that being provided to the autopilot. This arrangement also eliminates the need for external autopilot navigation source selector switches and relays that were previously used to select which navigation radio would be connected to the autopilot.
  • Page 34 The EFD1000 translates GPS steering commands received over an ARINC 429 bus into a signal that is compatible with the autopilot Heading channel. Thus, by selecting GPSS on the EFD1000 and the Heading mode of the autopilot, the autopilot is able to fly GPS Steering commands.
  • Page 35 Typical Autopilot Operations Whenever the EFD1000 installed configuration includes connections to GPS, VLOC and autopilot systems, the EFD1000 acts as a conduit of data between the navigation radios and the autopilot system. This configuration enables any navigation sensor available for display on the EFD system to be coupled to the autopilot.
  • Page 36 1. With a valid flight plan programmed in the GPS, use the CDI Nav Source Select Switch to couple the GPS to the HSI (See 6.2.8). 2. With GPSS OFF, set the EFD1000 heading bug to a value that will intercept the active leg of the flight plan.
  • Page 37 1. Use the CDI Nav Source Select Switch, couple a tuned/valid ILS radio frequency to the HSI, and set the desired approach course (See 6.2.8). 2. Set the EFD1000 heading bug to a value that will intercept the desired course, or as instructed by ATC 3.

Once cleared for the ILS approach, couple the EFD1000 HSI to the tuned ILS (if not done automatically by the coupled radio) and arm the autopilot’s Approach mode. 7. Monitor the CDI localizer deflection and verify that upon intercepting the localizer that the autopilot switches to Approach NAV Capture, turns to track the localizer course, and arms the glide slope.
