CIRRUS PERSPECTIVE+ Pilot’s Guide

considered only an aid to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be older than the indicated weather product age. WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of information for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. Garmin obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot independently verify the accuracy of the information. WARNING: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be positioned in error as displayed. Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin 190-02183-03 Rev. A ii WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/DH when flying an approach with vertical guidance. The autopilot will not level the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude preselect. WARNING: Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications in the following geographic areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic field): North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes; South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes; North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia); South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and New Zealand). WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain, obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or traffic. WARNING: Do not use the Garmin SVT runway depiction as the sole means for determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining the proper approach path angle during landing. WARNING: Do not rely on information from a lightning detection system display as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system manufacturer for detailed information about the system. WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS is intended only to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QNH altimeter setting for height above mean sea level, or the standard pressure setting, as applicable. CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners containing ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating. CAUTION: Do not allow repairs to be made by anyone other than an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and affect the airworthiness of the aircraft. 190-02183-03 Rev. A Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin iii WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power interruption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system. NOTE All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the system panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current system and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment. NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through official sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control. NOTE: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim or blank. NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65. NOTE: Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings, metal structures, or electromagnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result in nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut down, or while taxiing. If one or more of the sensed values are unavailable, the annunciation indicates no comparison is possible. NOTE: The system responds to a terminal procedure based on data coded within that procedure in the Navigation Database. Differences in system operation may be observed among similar types of procedures due to differences in the Navigation Database coding specific to each procedure. Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin 190-02183-03 Rev. A iv WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the following: ƒ It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System. ƒ Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen that have a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs). A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each applicable database and can be viewed at http://fly.garmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Declarations.’ ƒ Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in accordance with established AFM(S) and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment. NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Database Exclusions List.’ NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can be viewed at flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Alerts.’ NOTE: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support. NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go to flygarmin.com and select ‘Aviation Data Error Report’. NOTE: Electronic aeronautical charts displayed on this system have been shown to meet the guidance in AC 120-76D as a Type B Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for FliteCharts and ChartView. The accuracy of the charts is subject to the chart data provider. Own-ship position on airport surface charts cannot be guaranteed to meet the accuracy specified in AC 120-76D. Possible additional requirements may make a secondary source of aeronautical charts, such as traditional paper charts or an additional electronic display, necessary on the aircraft and available to the pilot. If the secondary source of aeronautical charts is a Portable Electronic Device (PED), its use must be consistent with the guidance in AC 120-76D. NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authorization, training, and possession of the corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special Procedure in the navigation database DOES NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure. 190-02183-03 Rev. A Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin v WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: Terrain and obstacle alerting is not available north of 89º North latitude and south of 89º South latitude. This is due to limitations present within the Terrain database and the system’s ability to process the data representing the affected areas. NOTE: The nose of the ‘own ship’ symbol represents the location of the aircraft. The center of any traffic symbol represents the location of that traffic. The traffic and own ship symbols are an abstract representation and do not reflect the physical extent of the aircraft/traffic, and should not replace other methods for identifying traffic. NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause isolated discharge points in the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge points in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after the screen has been cleared. NOTE: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the Garmin SVT display or may appear as a partial symbol. NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition. NOTE: Operate Perspective+ system power through at least one cycle in a period of four days of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot.

SYSTEM POWER APPLICATION NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: See the current version of the pertinent flight manual for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. The system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The PFD, MFD, and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, and external inputs and outputs to provide safe operation. When applying power to the system, test annunciations are displayed and key annunciator lights also become momentarily illuminated on the audio panel and the display bezels. On the PFD, the attitude indicator begins to initialize and displays an alignment message. All system annunciations should disappear typically within one minute of applying system power. When the MFD powers on, the following information is displayed: • System version • Navigation database dates • Basemap version • Airport Directory dates • SafeTaxi database name and effective dates • FliteCharts/ChartView database information • Terrain database version • Crew Profile • Obstacle database dates • Copyright • IFR/VFR charts database information (optional) • Checklist File Current database information includes the valid operating dates, cycle number and database type. When this information has been reviewed for currency (to verify that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. 190-02183-03 Rev. A Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 11 SYSTEM OVERVIEW NORMAL OPERATION NOTE: In normal operating mode, backlighting can only be adjusted from the PFD (see Section 1.5). In reversionary mode, it can be adjusted from the remaining display. In normal operating mode, the PFD presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed), replacing the traditional flight instrument cluster (see the Flight Instruments Section for more information). The MFD normally displays a full-color moving map with navigation information (see the Flight Management Section), while the left portion of the MFD is dedicated to the Engine Indication System (see the EIS Section). All displays offer control for COM and NAV frequency selection. Figure 1-5 Normal Operation REVERSIONARY MODE NOTE: The system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Appendices for further information regarding system-specific alerts. In the event of an MFD failure, the system automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode. If a display fails, the appropriate GIA Ethernet interface is cut off. Thus, the IAU can no longer communicate with the remaining display (refer to Figure 1-1), and the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed display by the IAU are flagged as invalid on the remaining display. The system reverts to backup paths for the Attitude Indicator, ADC, Engine/Airframe Unit, and Transponder, as required. The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs and no crew action is required. Reversionary Mode may also be manually activated by pressing the red DISPLAY BACKUP Button. Pressing this button again deactivates Reversionary Mode. 190-02183-03 Rev.

A Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 15 SYSTEM OVERVIEW ADAHRS OPERATION In addition to using internal sensors, the GSU 75 ADAHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the ADAHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements. If either of these external measurements is unavailable or invalid, the ADAHRS uses air data information for attitude determination. Eight ADAHRS modes of operation are available (see following table) and depend upon the combination of available sensor inputs. Loss of air data, GPS, or magnetometer sensor inputs is communicated to the pilot by system messages. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering in reversionary mode can degrade ADAHRS accuracy. ADAHRS Mode GPS Data Available Mag Data Available Air Data Available Condition Attitude Indicator ADAHRS Normal Yes Yes Yes Valid Pitch/Roll/Heading. ADAHRS no-Air Data Yes Yes No ADAHRS no-GPS No Yes Yes ADAHRS no-GPS/no-Mag No No Yes Valid Pitch/Roll. Heading will coast-on-gyros until it becomes invalid. ADAHRS no-Mag Data Yes No Yes Valid Pitch/Roll. Heading Invalid. ADAHRS no-Mag/no-Air Data Yes No No ADAHRS coast-on-gyros until invalid No Yes No Invalid Pitch/Roll/Heading. ADAHRS no-Mag/coast-on-gyros until invalid No No No Table 1-2 ADAHRS Operation The ADAHRS corrects for shifts and variations in the Earth’s magnetic field by applying the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The Magnetic Field Variation Database is derived from the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). The IGRF is a mathematical model that describes the Earth’s main magnetic field and its annual rate of change. The database is updated approximately every five years. See the Appendices for information on updating the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The system will prompt the pilot on startup when an update is available. Failure to update this database could lead to erroneous heading information being displayed to the pilot. 190-02183-03 Rev. A Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 16 SYSTEM OVERVIEW GPS RECEIVER OPERATION Each GIA Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) contains a GPS receiver. Information collected by the specified receiver (GPS1 for the #1 IAU or GPS2 for the #2 IAU) may be viewed on the ‘Aux - GPS Status’ Page. Internal system checking is performed to ensure both GPS receivers are providing accurate data to the PFD. In some circumstances, both GPS receivers may be providing accurate data, but one receiver may be providing a better GPS solution than the other receiver. In this case the GPS receiver producing the better solution is automatically coupled to the PFD. “BOTH ON GPS 1” or “BOTH ON GPS 2” are then displayed in the Reversionary Sensor Window (see Appendix A) indicating which GPS receiver is being used. Both GPS receivers are still functioning properly, but one receiver is performing better than the other at that particular time. These GPS sensor annunciations are most often seen after system power on when one GPS receiver has acquired satellites before the other, or one of the GPS receivers has not yet acquired an SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) signal. While the aircraft is on the ground, the SBAS signal may be blocked by obstructions causing one GPS receiver to have difficulty acquiring a good signal. Also, while airborne, turning the aircraft may result in one of the GPS receivers temporarily losing the SBAS signal. If the sensor annunciation persists, check for a system failure message in the Messages Window on the PFD. If no failure message exists, check the GPS Status Page and compare the information for GPS1 and GPS2. Discrepancies may indicate a problem. Viewing GPS receiver status information: 1) Use the large FMS Knob to select the ‘Aux’ Page Group (see Section 1.4 for information on navigating MFD page groups). 2) Use the small FMS Knob to select the ‘GPS Status’ Page. Selecting the GPS receiver for which data may be reviewed: 1) Use the FMS Knob to select the ‘Aux - GPS Status’ Page. 2) To change the selected GPS receiver: Press the desired GPS Softkey. Or: a) Press the MENU Key. b) Use the FMS Knob to highlight the receiver which is not selected and press the ENT Key. 190-02183-03 Rev.

The sky view is always in a north-up orientation, with the outer circle representing the horizon, the inner circle representing 45° above the horizon, and the center point showing the position directly overhead. Each satellite is represented by an oval containing the Pseudo-random noise (PRN) number (i.e., satellite identification number). Satellites whose signals are currently being used are represented by solid ovals. SATELLITE STATUS This box provides information regarding signal status. The accuracy of the aircraft’s GPS fix is calculated using Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU), Hoirzontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP), and horizontal and vertical figures of merit (HFOM and VFOM). EPU is the radius of a circle centered on an estimated horizontal position in which actual position has 95% probability of laying. EPU is a statistical error indication and not an actual error measurement. 190-02183-03 Rev. A Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 18 SYSTEM OVERVIEW HDOP measures satellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellites received and where they are relative to each other) on a range from 0.0 to 9.9, with lower numbers denoting better accuracy. HFOM and VFOM, measures of horizontal and vertical position uncertainty, are the current 95% confidence horizontal and vertical accuracy values reported by the GPS receiver. The current calculated GPS position, time, altitude, ground speed, and track for the aircraft are displayed below the satellite signal accuracy measurements. GPS STATUS The GPS solution type (ACQUIRING, 2D NAV, 2D DIFF NAV, 3D NAV, 3D DIFF NAV) for the active GPS receiver (GPS1 or GPS2) is shown in the upper right of the GPS Status Page. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring enough satellite signals for navigation, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. ‘Acquiring’ is indicated as the solution until a sufficient number of satellites have been acquired for computing a solution. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring a 3D differential GPS solution, 3D NAV is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential fix has finished acquisition. SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) indicates ‘Inactive’. When acquisition is complete, the solution status indicates 3D DIFF NAV and SBAS indicates ‘Active’. RAIM PREDICTION In most cases performing a RAIM prediction is not necessary. However, in some cases, the selected approach may be outside the SBAS coverage area, and it may be necessary to perform a RAIM prediction for the intended approach. Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is a GPS receiver function that performs a consistency check on all tracked satellites. RAIM ensures the available satellite geometry allows the receiver to calculate a position within a specified RAIM protection limit (2.0 nautical miles for oceanic and enroute, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches). During oceanic, enroute, and terminal phases of flight, RAIM is available nearly 100% of the time. The RAIM prediction function also indicates whether RAIM is available at a specified date and time. RAIM computations predict satellite coverage within ±15 min of the specified arrival date and time. Because of the tighter protection limit on approaches, there may be times when RAIM is not available. The system automatically monitors RAIM and warns with an alert message when it is not available. If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the final approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the messages, “Approach is not active” and “RAIM not available from FAF to MAP”. If RAIM is not available when crossing the FAF, the missed approach procedure must be flown. NOTE: The system RAIM prediction capability does not meet all RAIM prediction requirements. Reference the RAIM/Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) Prediction Tool at flygarmin.com as required. 190-02183-03 Rev.

A Pilot’s Guide for the Cirrus SR2x with Cirrus Perspective+ by Garmin SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 20 SYSTEM OVERVIEW • ‘Compute RAIM?’—RAIM has not been computed for the current waypoint, time, and date combination • ‘Computing Availability’—RAIM calculation in progress • ‘RAIM Available’—RAIM is predicted to be available for the specified waypoint, time, and date • ‘RAIM not Available’—RAIM is predicted to be unavailable for the specified waypoint, time, and date SBAS SELECTION In certain situations, such as when the aircraft is outside or on the fringe of the SBAS coverage area, it may be desirable to disable EGNOS, WAAS or MSAS (although it is not recommended). When disabled, the SBAS Field in the GPS Status box indicates Disabled. There may be a small delay for the GPS Status box to be updated upon SBAS enabling/disabling. Disabling SBAS: 1) Select the ‘Aux - GPS Status’ Page. 2) If necessary, press the SBAS Softkey. 3) Push the FMS Knob, and turn the large FMS Knob to highlight ‘EGNOS’, ‘MSAS’ or ‘WAAS’. 4) Press the ENT Key to uncheck the box. 5) Push the FMS Knob to remove the cursor. GPS SATELLITE SIGNAL STRENGTHS The GPS Status Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. As the GPS receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite PRN number below each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages, as indicated by signal bar appearance: » No bar—Receiver is looking for the indicated satellite » Hollow bar—Receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data » Cyan bar—Receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal can be used » Green bar—Satellite is being used for the GPS solution » Checkered bar—Receiver has excluded the satellite (Fault Detection and Exclusion) » “D” indication—Denotes the satellite is being used as part of the differential computations Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (signal strength bar is hollow) before the satellite may be used for navigation (signal strength bar becomes solid).
