G500 Overview

Components

PFD (Primary Flight Display)

MFD (Multi Function Display)

Digital Components – ADC, AHRS, GPS

TIS or TAS: Traffic Awareness

Terrain and Obstacle database

Dual 6.5” LCD screens that are direct sunlight readable

High resolution 640x480VGA

XM weather or weather Radar

SVT: Synthetic terrain on PFD overlay

Autopilot interface

Same panel space as standard 6 pack

A network of LRUs

Each unit is self contained and modular in design

Each LRU has a specific function or set of functions

Ease of troubleshooting and maintenance

GDC 74A – Air Data Computer

GRS 77 – Attitude, Heading and Reference System

GMU 44 – Magnetometer

GTX 330 – Mode S Transponder

GTP 59 – Outside Air Temperature Probe

Compiles information from the pitot static system and outside air

temperature (OAT) sensor

Communicates with GDU 620 and GRS 77

Basically a solid-state gyro. Uses tilt sensors, accelerometers and

rate sensors

Contains an IGRF which must be updated every five years

Interfaces with GDC 74A and GMU 44

Senses Earth’s magnetic field

Interfaces directly to GRS 77 for determining accurate magnetic

heading

Mode S capability

Interfaces with Traffic feature

Standard Garmin features

Auto ALT mode when groundspeed is greater than 30kts and

auto GND mode when less than 30kts

Solid state electronics require no warm-up time

Connected Directly to GDC 74A

Provides OAT information

GNS 480, CNX 80, GNS 400W series or GNS 500W series

Used as the “navigator”

Crossfills into G500

Contains GPS receiver

Menu button and soft keys – Context sensitive depending on

page selected

System settings on MFD can be selected specifically for each user

Auto or manual backlighting

Dual GDU 620 installation

Shares information by crossfilling – baro and CDI can be

selected to synchronize manually

Airspeed IndicatorAirspeed Indicator

Attitude IndicatorAttitude Indicator

AltimeterAltimeter

Vertical Speed IndicatorVertical Speed Indicator

Horizontal Situation IndicatorHorizontal Situation Indicator

Turn CoordinatorTurn Coordinator

Able to access different functions depending on the context of

the display

Many shortcuts are available through soft keys – should be

incorporated in your scan

Both PFD and MFD power on with a red ‘X’ on various items until

the AHRS has aligned and air data is available

The AHRS will align during taxi and level flight

Various annunciations will illuminate during startup

Should disappear after 30 seconds

Databases should be checked on MFD splash screen

Airspeed Indicator

Attitude Indicator (& Slip-Skid Indicator)

Altimeter

Vertical Speed Indicator

Horizontal Situation Indicator (& Standard Rate Turn

Indicator)

Measured by the Air Data Computer

Airspeed indicated by moving tape

Also boxes for IAS, TAS and GS

Six second trend vector

IAS box turns red if VNE is imminent in 6 seconds

Airspeed and Altimeter tapes translucent to allow full view of horizon

Shows pitch warnings using red chevrons when attitude is 50º above or

30º below horizon

Extreme attitude - PFD declutters

Contains slip-skid indicator

Measured by the air data computer

Altimeter settings must be entered in 2 places

Altitude bug displayed on left side of tape

Gives visual and audible advisories

Also contains trend vector

Measured by the air data computer

The scale of the VSI will dictate the range of the ASI

Vertical Speed bug can be set on the left side of the VSI

tape

The vertical speed value located at the bottom of the

tape

Includes a turn rate indicator, heading indicator, course

pointer and CDI

Trend vector serves as the rate indicator

Able to show magnetic or true headings

Wind Vector

Typical Garmin page group/page layout

Map page group

Weather page group (if equipped)

Auxiliary page group

Flight plan page group

Soft keys offer short cuts to many actions

Used only for situational awareness – no advisory

Will only be available if the GTX 330 installed

Uses mode S

Traffic can be overlaid on navigation map pages

TAS unit must be installed to use this feature

Should only be used for situational awareness – Will provide

advisories but no resolution

Uses mode S transponder to actively scan for other transponders

Traffic can be overlaid on navigation map pages

Terrain feature should only be used for situational awareness

NOT a radar – uses databases to predict terrain and potential

impact points

Requires GDL 69A receiver

XM weather is a satellite uplink

Not a short range navigation tool

Refreshes a certain intervals so information becomes expired

quickly

Requires a subscription and activation

GWX 68

Provides weather and ground mapped radar

Probably not used in the DA20 but the G500 is also certified for

Class 2 airplanes (Light twins 6000lbs and less)

Enhances situational

awareness at airports

Aircraft is shown on

the map for ease of

taxi

Taxiway

identifications can be

removed with DCLTR
