Piper M500 Pilot's Operating Handbook

while allowing you to view mapping, terrain, obstacles, traffic, weather overlays, navaids, airport diagrams and more. It’s a great aid for pilot situational awareness, especially when workload increases for the pilot. NEXRAD DATALINK WEATHER G1000 NXi supports a variety of satellite datalink options — displaying animated NEXRAD imagery, current airport conditions, forecasts, precipitation, lightning, winds and more. Both the U.S. sourced ADS-B network and SiriusXM ® satellite weather services can be accessed from the system (SiriusXM subscription and optional hardware required). Plus, an optional Connext satellite link receiver can also bring seamless on-demand worldwide weather information to the cockpit for international operations. M500 G1000 NXi shown ENHANCED AUTOPILOT FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS) ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROTECTION (ESP) Any pilot who’s ever been startled to attention by a stall warning horn in a busy cockpit will appreciate the proactive stability augmentation of the ESP monitoring technology. This feature functions independently of the autopilot system — although it uses the same control servos — to gently nudge the controls toward stable flight whenever pitch, roll or high-speed deviations exceed the recommended limits when the aircraft is being hand-flown. Underspeed Protection (USP) An intuitive flight director function that prevents the airplane from stalling when the autopilot is engaged. If in a stall condition, the system will lower the nose of the aircraft until above stall speed, and then climb to regain the preselected altitude. Automatic Level Mode (Blue Button) Level Mode will return the aircraft to a wings level attitude with zero vertical speed with the push of a button. It will automatically engage the flight director and autopilot functions to return the aircraft to straight and level flight. Approach and Landing With WAAS GPS-based guidance from the NXi system, the GFC 700 autopilot can fly everything from coupled holding patterns to curved-path radius-to-fix (RF) leg types to a variety of precision and non precision approaches plus coupled go-arounds. Full Class 3 approach capability lets you fly GPS- only LPV “glidepaths” down to ILS-comparable minimums at thousands of runways, which may not be served by ground-based electronic approach aids. Plus, the NXi series goes even further by adding Visual Approach capability. With this, your system can generate a 3-degree autopilot-coupled vertical flight path down to pilot-selectable minimums to most runways. You can also select vectors or straight-in for the final approach intercept — giving you even more options for accessing the widest possible variety of airfields. No pilot help Light righting force Stronger righting force CONNECTIVITY AND FLIGHT STREAM 510 The all-digital GMA 350C Bluetooth audio panel provides more functionality in the cockpit, giving pilots the option to wirelessly connect a smartphone or tablet to the GMA 350C to easily make phone calls or to stream audio entertainment. Additionally, the GMA 350C can be paired with the Garmin Pilot app to transmit terrain, obstacle or traffic alerts while in-flight. Pilot-controlled audio distribution ensures the appropriate communications are dispersed to passengers and crew accordingly. G1000 NXi’s ability to simplify and streamline your piloting workload starts even before you climb into the cockpit. With the addition of an optional Flight Stream 510 wireless gateway, your G1000 NXi system becomes capable of streaming information in real time between your avionics and compatible mobile devices running the Garmin Pilot ™ or ForeFlight Moblie apps. This means you can do advance flight planning on your iPad ® , tablet or other smart device — in the comfort of your home or office — and then wirelessly load the data into your avionics once you get to the airport. You can also update databases by simply collecting all that information on your mobile device — and use it to transfer the data to your avionics when you get to the airport the next day.
