NOTE
Any moving map system shall be used for reference only and does not replace
proper flight planning and constant oversight and awareness.
WARNING
All GPS and/or EFIS display units requires regular updating of the displays and
potentially, the basic software itself It is the operators responsibility to ensure
the equipment is correctly updated prior to flight, and to understand that the
GPS system is NOT a primary navigational aid. The GPS system (or any other
information displayed on the device) has not been approved to any
airworthiness standard.
The Glass Cockpit layout is tailored to the integrated flight and navigation suite of the
Garmin G3X. In addition to navigational and moving map functions, the system provides
primary flight data and relevant engine/vehicle monitoring. It is of utmost importance to read
and understand the operator’s manual and to become familiar with the system before
operation. In case of a system failure, an altimeter, air speed indicator and compass are
provided as back-up instrumentation.
Depending on the chosen instrumentation and optional equipment, the depicted panels on
the following pages may vary. Note that the standard or back-up compass is mounted to the
glare shield.
Where a hydraulic constant propeller is fitted, this is controlled via blue control knob
mounted on the instrument panel and suitable placarded.
