Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) assists pilots of pressurized
aircraft in the event of cabin depressurization. Depending on
installation type, GTN Xi provides access to this feature via the
Emergency app.
If configured for cabin pressure
monitoring, the system monitors
cabin pressure once EDM is armed.
EDM is considered armed when:
•
Autopilot is active
•
Aircraft is above 15,000 ft MSL
Once armed, activation may occur
manually or automatically.
