•
Maximum displayable altitude: 35,000 Feet
•
Minimum displayable altitude: -1,500 Feet
•
Maximum configurable baro correction: 1050 mb / 31.00 inHg
•
Minimum configurable baro correction: 948 mb / 28.00 inHg
•
Minimum operational duration on battery: 30 Minutes
•
Maximum roll rate: 400 degrees / second
•
Maximum operating G force: 6 G
•
Battery operation may be inhibited for up to 15 minutes during cold-starts.
•
No operational capability on internal battery is possible if the battery is faulted, as
shown by a Red-X over the battery icon.
•
Battery charging is disabled below approximately 0°C and above 40°C, or when power
input is below approximately 11 volts DC.
•
In-Flight alignment must be performed with wings-level non-accelerated flight
conditions.
•
Airspeed and altitude are derived from internal pressure sensors that are connected to the
aircraft’s pitot and static lines. Airspeed is determined by the pressure difference
between the pitot and static ports, while altitude is determined by the pressure on the
static port. Altitude is barometrically corrected by the pilot entered baro value prior to
being displayed.
•
Attitude is aided by airspeed to provide better pitch performance during takeoffs and in-
flight accelerations and decelerations. TSO performance levels are maintained with or
without this additional aiding.
