7.15.2 Flight Director Display
If autopilot flight director commands are interfaced to the GI 275, they will be
presented as a single cue flight director on the ADI. Control of the flight director
is accomplished via the autopilot/flight director controller; there are no pilot
controls or adjustments for the flight director on the GI 275.
The GI 275 limits the distance the flight director pitch commands may deviate
from the Aircraft Reference Symbol. If the pitch command provided by the
autopilot flight director is greater than the position allowed by the GI 275, the
command bars will be displayed at the maximum offset position allowed by the
GI 275. As the aircraft pitch changes to satisfy the command bars, the bars will
continue to be displayed at the maximum offset from the Aircraft Reference
Symbol until the aircraft pitch deviation is within the command display limit.
7.15.3 Attitude and Rate Data Sources for Autopilots
Attitude-based autopilots may be interfaced to the GI 275 ADI, -20/-40 variant.
If the GI 275 system is providing attitude to the autopilot, it will be noted in
Section 7.15 above. Otherwise, the autopilot is receiving attitude or rate
information from the standby or a remote gyro and the autopilot attitude input is
independent of the attitude displayed on the GI 275 ADI.
It is recommended that pilots thoroughly familiarize themselves with the
autopilot system and how it is interfaced with the GI 275 and other installed
avionics to enhance operational efficiency and troubleshooting. Refer to the
autopilot flight manual for more specific information.
MFD
On all MFD pages, the nose of the ownship symbol represents the actual
location of your aircraft.
7.16.1 Map Page
A 2D moving map function is provided on the MFD. The appearance and
determination of data displayed on the moving map is controlled by pilot
selections made in the Menu. The Menu provides on/off controls for map
overlays, a map detail selector, and a map setup button which accesses
additional map controls.
The map range can be altered by “pinch zooming” the touchscreen or rotating
the inner knob when the Range field is active. The range scale of the map is
indicated by a range ring, centered on the ownship, with the current selected
range shown at the 9 o’clock position on the ring. In addition to range
adjustment, a panning function is provided to allow the position of the map to be
centered on a location other than that of the ownship. The Panning mode is
entered by dragging a single finger on the display and exited by touching the
BACK softkey. The map orientation is continuously displayed in the top left
corner of the Map Page.
