Expanded pitch scale:Can set attitudes ±1° (really!)

Slip bar:• ¼ bar = ¼ ball imbalance• Heavily damped – “lag”

SAM113.35

The Primary Flight Display

125.60113.35 SAM

Air Data Computer:• IAS and TAS• Digits distracting?• Digits moving ↑

means speed ↓

SAM113.35

Air Data Computer:• ALT and VSI• Digits distracting?• Digits moving ↑

means altitude ↓• Scan bug not digits

The Primary Flight Display

ADC and AHRS trend vectors:• 6 seconds• ASI, Alt, HSI (turn rate)

SAMSAM113.35

The Primary Flight Display

Softkeys:• Context-sensitive:

look before you leap!• Sub-menus & the “Back” button• “Alerts” button always on the far

right to acknowledge alerts

The Primary Flight Display

125.60113.35 SAM

GPS:• Waypoint Status Bar• Cannot disable – but can cover…• Next waypoint, distance to go,

desired (planned) track, instantaneous track (°M)

Using the FMS knobs: tuning the ADF or DME• Bring up the ADF window;• Use the outer & inner knobs to select fields and change digits;• IMPORTANT: Press ENTER, not the FMS knob itself, to accept the

new value. Pressing the FMS knob simply cancels the change.

The Multi-Function Display

113.35 120.750SAMIBMH

Nav/Com displays: as per PFDGPS:• Navigation Status bar:• Operator can change• Instantaneous GS, Cross-track error,

Distance and ETA for example.

The Multi-Function Display

113.35 120.750SAMIBMH

Useful features:• Change map appearance / defaults using MENU• Use MAP softkey to overlay information

•Topography, Terrain Awareness, Stormscope etc• GPS flight plan will always be overlaid

The Multi-Function Display

113.35 120.750SAMIBMH

Changing map scale:• Rotate RANGE knobPress the range knob to generate a map panning arrow• Range knob acts as a joystick to pan cursor on map• More information displayed at top of screen

300° 9.8NM – Elev 357FT – N45°W001°

The Multi-Function Display

113.35 120.750SAMIBMH

Page Groups• Map, Waypoint, Auxiliary, NearestPages within groups• Navigate using boxes to keep track of where you are• Navigate with FMS knobs• Change groups and change pages within each group

The Audio Selector Panel

Similar functions to other Garmin audio panels- “COM1 MIC” – listen & talk- “COM1” – just listen

Audio identification of DME / ADF

Volumes- Coms, Navaids (not DME) have own volume- Intercom volume for pilot, one other for all pax

• Reversion should be automatic.• If it does not occur, it can be done manually.• If this is simulated (i.e. no real failure), all

navaids will remain useable.
