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 find 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. Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 190-02470-02 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 operate the weather radar in a transmitting mode when personnel or objects are within the MPEL boundary. WARNING: Always position the weather radar gain setting to Calibrated for viewing the actual intensity of precipitation. Changing the gain in weather mode causes precipitation intensity to be displayed as a color not representative of the true intensity. WARNING: Do not consider the overflight of thunderstorms to be safe, as extreme turbulence may exist significantly above observed returns. WARNING: Do not assume weather radar transmission is disabled unless all display panes displaying weather radar are set to Standby Mode, and are displaying ‘STANDBY’ in the center of each weather radar display. Transmission is also disabled by touching the Radar On Button or pressing the Radar On Softkey to set the weather radar system to Off Mode, as indicated by a gray annunciator. 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. 190-02470-02 Rev. A Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 iii WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES 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. WARNING: Do not use SurfaceWatch™ information as the primary method of flight guidance during airborne or ground operations. SurfaceWatch does not have NOTAM or ATIS information regarding the current active runway, condition, or information about the position of hold lines. WARNING: Always reset the altimeter setting when the Emergency Autoland system has been deactivated. 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. 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. CAUTION: Avoid areas on the radar display that appear “shadowed” (gray). The accuracy of the intensity of returns in the shaded areas should be treated as suspect. Exercise extreme caution, making maneuvering decisions with this information in mind. CAUTION: In Standby mode, the antenna is parked at the center line. It is always a good idea to put the radar in Standby mode before taxiing the aircraft to prevent the antenna from bouncing on the bottom stop and possibly causing damage to the radar assembly. CAUTION: When all display panes displaying weather radar are set to Standby Mode, the antenna is parked at the center line. It is always a good idea to put the radar in Standby Mode before taxiing the aircraft to prevent the antenna from bouncing on the bottom stop and possibly causing damage to the radar assembly. 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. Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 190-02470-02 Rev. A iv WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES 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. 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 flygarmin.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 pertinent aircraft documents and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment. 190-02470-02 Rev. A Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 v WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to find 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. Before 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. 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: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the Garmin SVT display or may appear as a partial symbol. Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 190-02470-02 Rev. A vi WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: When Emergency Autoland is activated, the system automatically declares an emergency using multiple communication methods. NOTE: Upon activation, Emergency Autoland may notify Garmin and transmit aircraft flight data using the Iridium satellite network. Garmin will share this data with the aircraft’s original equipment manufacturer and/or with relevant aviation authorities upon request. 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 G3000 system power through at least one cycle in a period of four days of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot. 190-02470-02 Rev.

Objects or debris on the glass surface can interfere with these infrared beams and cause unintended activation of buttons. A screen cleaning procedure, described later in this section, is available to temporarily disable the touch recognition capability to facilitate screen cleaning. In normal operations, all Touchscreen Controllers can control the PFD and NAV/COM system. In addition, GTC2 can control Display Panes on both the MFD, and on the PFD when the PFD is showing a Display Pane in Split Mode. The pilot selects a control mode for a given controller (i.e. PFD, MFD, NAV/COM) by pressing context-sensitive softkeys located on the right portion of each controller bezel. These softkeys are aligned with labels for each control mode currently available on a given controller. A box appears around the selected control mode, and a green arrow points to the currently selected softkey. 190-02470-02 Rev. A Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 7 SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Touchscreen Controller’s functions are arranged by screen. Each screen has a title which appears at the top of the screen area. The contents of each screen change dynamically in response to the selected control mode, and to pilot or system input. At the top level of each mode is a corresponding Home Screen containing mode-specific controls. ‘PFD Home’ is the Home Screen for PFD control mode. ‘MFD Home’ is the Home Screen for MFD (i.e. Display Pane) control mode. ‘NAV/COM Home’ is the Home Screen for NAV/COM control mode. All of the Touchscreen Controller’s available functions for the selected control mode are accessible from the Home Screen. The Home Screen may be accessed any time it is not currently displayed by touching the Home Button in the Button Bar on the right side of the screen area. Procedures in this Pilot’s Guide generally begin from the Home Screen as a reference point; however it is not necessary to return to the Home Screen before performing each procedure if the appropriate screen is already displayed. As the Touchscreen Controller is used, certain selections will cause another screen to be displayed. To return to the previous screen, touch the Back or Cancel Button (as applicable) in the Button Bar, or touch the Home Button to return to the Home Screen. If the Home Screen was the previous screen, pressing either the Back or Home Button will also return to the Home Screen. If the system issues a message, the MSG Button is shown on the Button Bar. Touching this button will display the ‘Notifications’ Screen. The Button Bar also contains buttons for controlling the size of MFD Display Panes (Full or Half Mode) and whether a Pane is shown on the PFD (Full or Split Mode), discussed later in this section). The following buttons may be displayed on the Button Bar, depending on current availability and/or settings: Returns to the Home Screen Selects split display mode on the PFD. Returns to the previous screen Selects half-display mode on the MFD. Displays the ‘Notifications’ Screen on Touchscreen Controller. Flashes when a new system message is issued.

Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 190-02470-02 Rev. A 8 SYSTEM OVERVIEW In addition, the Button Bar displays buttons for Warning and Caution conditions. Refer to the Appendices Section for more information about the alerting system. The Label Bar, on the right side of the Touchscreen Controller, displays the current function of each control as a reference. These functions include Map Range adjustment, Display Pane selection, radio volume/squelch adjustment, COM radio tuning, and data entry. The labels change based on the context of the options being performed. If a Touchscreen Controller knob cannot be used because of a failure in a system component (COM, NAV, Audio, etc.), the Label Bar also indicates this status; refer to the Audio and CNS Section for more information about radio failures. The Touchscreen Controller recognizes input based on a touch, a gesture (such as sliding a finger), or by pressing or turning the knobs or softkeys. On-screen buttons are selected by momentarily touching them with a finger and then releasing. It is not necessary to apply pressure, as the infrared touchscreen surface detects only the presence and movement of the finger, not pressure. When touched, the button background is highlighted in blue until the finger is released. If enabled, an aural ‘click’ sound is also issued to confirm the button has been touched. When releasing the finger, make sure it is released within the boundary of the button, otherwise the input is considered invalid. If enabled, an aural tone is heard to indicate the touch input was not accepted. Some adjustments are made using horizontal or vertical sliders. To use, simply touch within the slider box and slide the finger in the desired slider bar direction, then release the finger. The finger may move outside of the slider box during adjustment; slider movement stops when either the finger is released or the slider has reached its maximum travel. In some cases, the slider can also be adjusted by touching a + or - Button if it accompanies the slider, such as in the Map Detail Adjustment Slider shown in the following figure. In addition, a slider adjustment may also be accomplished using knobs on the Touchscreen Controller if the Label Bar indicates the selected slider supports this additional control.

CONTROLLING DISPLAY PANES In normal operations, the pilot uses GTC2 to select and control Display Panes in MFD control mode. The system highlights the border of the selected display pane being controlled in cyan. The Label Bar indicates when the upper knobs may be used to select a Display Pane for control by displaying the word ‘Pane’ with three icons below it representing each possible pane location. The configuration of each display determines the number of Display Panes currently available for control (Full, Half, or Split Modes). A cyan icon represents the selected Display Pane. A black icon represents a Display Pane available for selection, but is not currently selected. A subdued icon represents a Display Pane not currently shown, and therefore cannot be controlled. See the following figures for examples of touchscreen control of Display Panes in MFD Mode.

A 26 SYSTEM OVERVIEW MFD FULL AND HALF MODES The MFD provides the capability to show Display Panes in either Full Mode or Half Mode, provided the selected Display Pane is capable of being shown in a Full Mode format. The presence of either the Full or Half Mode Button on the Touchscreen Controller Button Bar indicates the availability of one of these modes for the selected Display Pane. Touch the Full Button to show the selected Display Pane in Full Mode. Touch the Half Button to return to Half Mode. In Full Mode, the MFD shows the EIS Display and a single, enlarged Display Pane. In Half Mode, the MFD shows the EIS Display and two Display Panes (mode selections do not affect the EIS Display formatting). The MFD Full and Half Modes are not available in Reversionary Mode. When the system is powered-up on the ground, the MFD begins operation in Half Mode. PFD FULL AND SPLIT MODES The PFD shows a full PFD display in Full Mode, and a condensed PFD with a Display Pane in Split Mode. The Display Pane on the PFD in Split Mode is the same size as a Display Pane on the MFD in Half Mode. A Full or Split Button in the Button Bar indicates which display mode is available for the PFD. Additionally, a PFD Mode Button is available on the ‘PFD Settings’ Screen, which can be used to select Full or Split Mode on the PFD. Display panes can only be chosen from the ‘MFD Home’ Screen on the Touchscreen Controller.

A 28 SYSTEM OVERVIEW DATA ENTRY Two methods exist for directly entering alphanumeric data (e.g., waypoint identifiers, barometric minimum descent altitude) into the system: using the Touchscreen Controller’s alphanumeric keypad, or the large and small upper knob on the Touchscreen Controller. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the system anticipates the desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the Enter Button to confirm the entry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from entering all the characters of the identifier. Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a waypoint identifier, touching the Find Button accesses four different lists of waypoint identifiers for quick selection: Recent, Nearest, Flight Plan (if active flight plan waypoints are available), and a Favorite waypoints list. In addition, the system provides the ability to search by Facility Name or by City. The system automatically completes the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for the selected waypoint. Using the Touchscreen Controller keyboard to enter alphanumeric data: 1) Select a Datafield Button on the Touchscreen Controller for which data entry is required (i.e. waypoint, radio frequency, etc.). A keypad will appear, and the Datafield Button will be highlighted in cyan. 2) Touch the desired letters or numbers, one at a time. 3) If an alphabetic keypad is displayed and numbers are desired, touch the 123... Button. 4) If the numeric keypad is displayed and letters are desired, touch the ABC... Button. 5) To accept the entry, touch the Enter Button. Otherwise, touch the Back, Cancel, or Home Button (on the Button Bar) to exit the datafield without saving the entry. Touch to use Numeric Buttons Touch to use Alphabetic Buttons Figure 1-13 Entering Text on the Keypad Using the Touchscreen Controller’s large and small upper knobs to enter data: 1) Select a datafield button on the Touchscreen Controller for which data entry is required (i.e. waypoint, radio frequency, etc.). A keypad will appear, and the data field will be highlighted in cyan. 2) Begin entering data by turning the small upper knob to select a character for the first placeholder. Turning the knob to the right scrolls through the alphabet (where appropriate) toward the letter Z, starting in the middle at K, and the digits zero through nine. Turning the knob to the left scrolls in the opposite direction. 3) Turn the large upper knob to move the cursor to the next placeholder in the field. 190-02470-02 Rev. A Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 29 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 4) Repeat, using the small upper knob to select a character and the large upper knob to move the cursor, until the field is complete. 5) Push the upper knob or touch the Enter Button to confirm entry. Otherwise, touch the Back or Home Button to exit the field without saving the entry. SECURE DIGITAL CARDS NOTE : Refer to the Appendices for instructions on updating databases. NOTE : Ensure the system is powered off before inserting the SD card. The PFD and MFD data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the top right portion of the display bezels. Each display bezel is equipped with two SD card slots. SD cards are used for various databases, checklists, system software updates, recording flight data, and storing electronic documents. Not all SD cards are compatible with the system. Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer. Insert an SD card Insert the SD card in the SD card slot, pushing the card in until the spring latch engages. The front of the card should remain flush with the face of the display bezel. Remove an SD card Gently press on the SD card to release the spring latch and eject the card.

A 30 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.3 SYSTEM OPERATION The displays are connected via a single Ethernet bus for high-speed communication. As shown in Figure 1-1, each IAU is connected to a single display. This allows the units to share information, enabling true system integration. SYSTEM INITIAL POWER APPLICATION 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, Touchscreen Controllers, and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processors, memory, external inputs, and outputs to provide safe operation. Upon initial power application, annunciator lights on the AFCS Controller illuminate momentarily. On the PFD, the AHRS initializes and displays “AHRS ALIGN: Keep Wings Level”. The AHRS should display valid attitude and altitude typically within the first minute of power application. When configured to be in Split Mode, the ‘Checklist’ Pane appears on the right portion of the PFD. When the MFD receives power, it shows the Engine Indication System (EIS) display, the ‘Navigation Map’ Pane and ‘Aircraft Status’ Pane. The ‘Navigation Map’ Pane shows a “NO GPS POSITION” banner annunciation. When the system has acquired a sufficient number of satellites, the aircraft’s current position appears on any displayed navigation maps. GTC1 displays the ‘PFD Home’ Screen. GTC2 displays the ‘Initialization’ Screen. GTC3 shows the ‘NAV/ COM Home’ Screen. NORMAL OPERATION PFD AND MFD In normal operations, the PFD presents graphical flight instrumentation (such as heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed) in either Full Mode or Split Mode. In Full Mode, the PFD information occupies the entire display. In Split Mode, the PFD is condensed to accommodate a Display Pane on the inboard portion of the PFD. PFD in Split Mode with a Display Pane MFD Operating in Half Mode with Two Display Panes Figure 1-15 PFD and MFD in Normal Operations (Split and Half Modes shown) 190-02470-02 Rev. A Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 31 SYSTEM OVERVIEW The MFD shows Engine Indications on the left portion of the display. It also shows either a single Display Pane in Full Mode, or two Display Panes side-by-side in Half Mode. TOUCHSCREEN CONTROLLERS In normal operations, all Touchscreen Controllers can control the PFD and NAV/COM functions. The middle Touchscreen Controller can also control Display Panes on both the PFD and MFD when MFD Mode is selected on this controller using the MFD Softkey. The large and small upper knobs on the middle Touchscreen Controller selects a Display Pane for control in MFD Mode. Turning either knob clockwise moves the cyan pane selection highlight to the right, and turning either knob counter-clockwise moves the cyan pane selection highlight to the left. Refer to the Controlling Display Panes discussion for more information. REVERSIONARY DISPLAY OPERATION NOTE: The system alerts the pilot when the LRUs are communicating using backup paths. Refer to the Appendices for further information regarding system-specific alerts. If either the PFD or MFD fails or is off-line, the system automatically shows a display Reversionary Mode. This mode combines a PFD display, an EIS display, and a Display Pane on the operating display in a condensed format. If the system is unable to detect a failed PFD or MFD, the pilot can manually activate display Reversionary Mode by pressing the red Display Backup Button mounted between the PFD and MFD. GTC1 in Standby Flight Display Mode GTC2 GTC3 PFD Failed MFD Operating in Reversionary Mode Figure 1-16 Reversionary Mode with Failed PFD Cirrus Perspective Touch+ by Garmin Pilot’s Guide for the Vision SF50 190-02470-02 Rev. A 32 SYSTEM OVERVIEW If the PFD fails or is off-line, GTC1 shows the Standby Flight Display, using attitude and air data from the standby sensors. The Standby Flight Display includes an Airspeed Indicator, Attitude Indicator, Altimeter and Altimeter Setting. Softkeys and knobs on GTC1 control the Standby Flight Display; refer to the Flight Instruments Section for more information about these controls. GTC2 and GTC3 provide the PFD, MFD pane, and NAV/Com control modes on the MFD operating in Reversionary Mode. Other conditions besides a PFD failure may cause the Standby Flight Display to appear; refer to the AHRS Operation discussion for more information on these conditions. If the MFD fails or is off-line, GTC1 continues to operate as a Touchscreen Controller (i.e., no Standby Flight Display), and allows the selection of PFD Mode or NAV/Com Mode. If both the PFD and MFD fail, GTC1 shows the Standby Flight Display. Since the PFD and MFD are not available to control, the ‘PFD Home’ Screen and ‘MFD Home’ Screen on any remaining Touchscreen Controller displays a large amber ‘X’ on the controller when PFD or MFD control mode is selected. TOUCHSCREEN CONTROLLER FAILURE If GTC1 or GTC3 fails or is off-line, GTC2 continue to provide the same control modes as were previously available (PFD, MFD, NAV/COM). The Standby Flight Display is not available if GTC1 encounters a complete failure (for example, if GTC1 is not receiving any power.) If GTC2 fails or is off-line, GTC3 provides MFD control mode in addition to the PFD and NAV/COM control modes available prior to the failure. GTC1 operates normally if GTC2 fails. If two Touchscreen Controllers have failed or are off-line simultaneously, the PFD, MFD, and NAV COM control modes are available on the remaining Touchscreen Controller. Functions may be limited if this occurs, as data paths may not be available. If all Touchscreen Controllers fail or are off-line, the PFD and MFD continue to operate in Normal Mode, however controls for the PFD, MFD, and NAV/COM tuning will be unavailable. Refer to the Audio and CNS Section for more information on NAV/COM failure modes. AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for specific AHRS alert information. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. In addition to using internal sensors, the AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements. If either of these external measurements is unavailable or invalid, the AHRS uses air data information for attitude determination. Four AHRS modes of operation are available and depend upon the combination of available sensor inputs (as shown in the following figure). Loss of air data, GPS, or magnetometer sensor inputs is communicated to the pilot by System Messages. 190-02470-02 Rev.
