G5 Attitude Indicator
The G5 Electronic Flight Instrument configured as an attitude indicator, is shown in Figure 1-1. The G5 is
an electronic instrument display operating as a standalone flight display. It features a bright, sunlight
readable, 3.5-inch color display which is sized to fit in a standard 3-1/8-inch instrument cutout. The G5
contains integrated attitude/air data sensors that provide display of attitude and secondary display of air
data information. The G5 has battery backup and in the case of aircraft power loss will sustain G5
operation with up to 4 hours of emergency power.

The G5 calculates aircraft attitude using information from its built-in inertial sensors. If the G5 senses that
the attitude solution is valid, but not yet within the internal accuracy limits, "ALIGNING" is displayed.
The G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.

stopping at the standard turn rate tick mark.
