accelerated degradation. Extended storage in a discharged state and over-
charging will permanently damage the battery. Complete charging is required to 
bring the battery up to full capacity if it has been unused for more than four 
months or partially discharged.

Course Pointer Auto Slewing 

The G500 HSI will auto slew, i.e. automatically rotate the GPS course pointer to 
the desired course defined by each GPS leg. The system will also auto slew the 
VHF NAV course pointer when the CDI transitions to a LOC setting if an ILS, 
LOC, LOC BC, LDA, or SDF approach is loaded in the GPS/SBAS navigator. 
 
The VHF NAV (green) course pointer will only auto slew if the approach is 
loaded in the navigator, a LOC frequency is loaded in the active NAV 
frequency, and 

then

 the HSI source is changed to the corresponding VHF NAV 

for the approach. Back Course approaches will auto slew to the reciprocal 
course. 
 
The system is not capable of automatically setting the inbound VHF NAV 
course pointer if an approach is not loaded in the GPS/SBAS Navigation 
System. 
 
The pilot should always double check the inbound course pointer prior to 
initiating any transition on any VHF NAV approach. Auto slewing the VHF 
NAV course pointer to the correct selected course is a database dependent 
function. 

2.13

 

Synthetic Vision Technology 

The use of the synthetic vision display elements alone for aircraft control 
without reference to the G500 primary flight instruments or the aircraft standby 
instruments is prohibited. 

The use of the synthetic vision display alone for navigation, or obstacle, terrain, 
or traffic avoidance is prohibited. 

2.14

 

Autopilot Interface 

The G500 acts as a navigation source switching hub to an interfaced autopilot 
when multiple navigation sources are available. The autopilot will only couple 
to the heading, navigation, altitude, and vertical speed selections on PFD 1. 
Some autopilots may have navigation source selection integral to their system; 
this feature is overridden by the G500 navigation source selection described 
herein. Changing the navigation sources displayed on the HSI (by pressing the 
CDI button or the 1-2 button) may result in some autopilots disconnecting or 
entering a wings level mode. 

 

The autopilot will not couple to the pre-selected altitude or vertical speed if not 
properly configured or supported by the installation. Refer to the autopilot 
operators manual or Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for the proper 
operation of that system.
