7.14 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
NOTE: This chapter provides general information for use of the equipment.
For a detailed description of the G3X suite, refer to GARMIN G3X Pilots
Guide, Garmin Part Number 190/01115/00.
The Primary Flight Display (PFD) provides the functions of the attitude indica-
tor, magnetic heading indicator, airspeed indicator, groundspeed indicator,
AOA tape, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, directional gyro, HSI (horizontal
situation indicator), wind data, FMS and avionics-related annunciator. In addi-
tion, the PFD communicates with GPS1, GPS2, NAV (optional), the Multifunc-
tion Display (MFD), and Autopilot System. It also triggers aural and acustic
warnings.
An integral air data/attitude and heading reference system (ADAHRS) uses
a 3-axis solid state gyro and accelerometer system and a remote magne-
to-meter. ADAHRS also provides roll, pitch, heading data and outside air
temperature (OAT) data and continually updates the winds aloft and true air-
speed (TAS) indications on the PFD. The magnetometer assembly is mount-
ed in the back fuselage.
Mechanical instruments for airspeed and altitude are mounted in the top
segment of the instrument panel and do not require electrical power to func-
tion.
Circuit breakers that apply to the PFD are labeled PFD, ADAHRS 1 and
ADAHRS 2. The display presents the Initialization Display immediately after
power is applied. Power-on default is 75% brightness. The dimming is via
the dedicated SmartDim controller installed to the left of the mechanical air-
speed indicator.
