GENERAL
The Aspen Avionics’ EFD1000 PILOT PFD is a panel-mounted Electronic Flight Instrument System
(EFIS) that presents the pilot with displays of attitude, altitude, indicated airspeed, heading, rate
of turn, and slip/skid information. The system also displays supplemental flight data such as winds,
TAS, OAT, etc. (see Item 36 - 39 of Figure 1), pilot-selectable indices („bugs“), and various
annunciations that increase situational awareness and enhance flight safety. Moving maps are also
displayed when an external GPS is installed and connected to the EFD1000 PILOT PFD. In the
EXTRA 300L the EFD1000 PILOT PFD is used as a secondary (back-up) instrument system.
N O T E
Due to the capabilities of the aircraft - especially the extreme agility with high angular
rates - the EFD1000 PILOT PFD cannot be operated reliably in acrobatics. Observe
flags and reset EFD1000 PILOT PFD if required.
The EFD1000 PILOT PFD system components include the EFD1000 display head, a Remote
Sensor Module (RSM), and a Configuration Module (CM). The RSM is installed in the aircraft tail
under the main fuselage cover.
N O T E
Due to the location of the RSM the outside air temperature data is available time-
delayed.
The EFD1000 PILOT PFD model does not support display of navigation data from panel-mounted
GPS navigators, VOR/Localizer radios, etc. See Section 924.7 of this Aircraft Flight Manual
Supplement for a description of the operation of the EFD1000 PILOT PFD System.
The EFD1000 PILOT PFD System must utilize the software version described below or later
approved versions. The system software version for the Main Application Processor (MAP) and for
the Input-Output Processor (IOP), both of which are contained within the EFD display head, is
displayed via the Main Menu SYSTEM STATUS page.
This supplement is written for IOP SOFTWARE RELEASE 1.1, and is not suitable for earlier
software versions. This software version corresponds to the ASPEN Airplane Flight Manual
Supplement (Doc. A-01-179-00 Revision C). Some differences in operation may be observed when
comparing the information in this supplement to later software versions. Verify the information
herein with the EFD1000 PILOT PFD Pilot's Guide (Doc. A-01-184-00 applicable Revision) you
received with your unit. There you find also further information.

LIMITATIONS
The functionality of the EFD1000 PILOT PFD may be used for VFR navigation purposes only when
a reversion to traditional navigation (map, magnetic compass) is possible at any time.
