  • Page 17: Example Graphics

    While the EFD1000 is reasonably intuitive and easy to use, some familiarity with Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) and Horizontal Situation Indicators (HSI) is required. Aspen Avionics strongly recommends that new users of the EFD1000 get some dual instruction from an experienced instrument CFI, and spend some time becoming familiar with the PFD in day VFR conditions with a safety pilot, before flying in actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).

  • Page 19: Welcome & Introduction

    Chapter 1 Welcome & Introduction Welcome to Aspen Avionics’ Evolution Flight Display (EFD) system, the most flexible, expandable, and upgradable Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) available for General Aviation aircraft. Designed to replace traditional, mechanical primary flight instruments—in whole or in part, all at once, or in phases.
  • Page 20 The center of the EFD system is the EFD1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD), which replaces the traditional, mechanical Attitude Indicator (AI) and Directional Gyro (DG) or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) (Figure 1-2). The PFD is available in three models—the Pilot, Pro and ATP—each with increasing levels of features and capabilities, and each lower model is upgradable through software to the more capable models.

    1.1.4. Analog Converter Unit (ACU) The Analog Converter Unit (ACU), included with most Pro PFD systems, enables the all-digital EFD1000 system to interface to analog avionics when required. The ACU concentrates multiple analog interfaces and converts them to the digital ARINC 429 buses supported by the PFD.

  • Page 45 The EFD1000 PFD generally follows standard display conventions for Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS), so a pilot with some experience and familiarity with other EFIS PFDs will usually transition quickly to using the EFD1000. Pilots for whom the EFD1000 PFD is their first real exposure to EFIS and “glass cockpit” flying, however, should get some in-flight transition training from a certified instrument flight instructor (CFII) with EFIS experience.

    2.3.3.1. Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) The traditional HSI is an instrument that combines a slaved magnetic Heading Indicator overlaid with a rotating Course Pointer and Deviation Indicator (CDI). This combination has also been called a pictorial navigation indicator, because it helps the pilot better visualize the aircraft position relative to its desired course.

  • Page 68 Start-up times for the EFD1000 are highly dependent on aircraft NOTE temperature. In extremely cold weather, when the aircraft has gotten cold soaked overnight, it may take several minutes (usually no more than five) for the PFD to be fully operational. On the second or third flight of the day, and/or on very hot days, the PFD may come up within 30 seconds or less.

    We plan to hand-fly the plane until reaching our final en route altitude of 10,000 feet. But we like the help the Flight Director gives us (Figure 3-24). So, as part of our Before Takeoff set-up, we press the FD button on the autopilot mode selector, and the magenta V-bars display on the EFD1000.
  • Page 77 Soon we hear a one-second tone and see the yellow flag come on next to our Selected Altitude at the top of the EFD1000 airspeed tape (Figure 3-25). This means we are 15 seconds away from reaching our assigned altitude. We begin to shallow our climb, and level off at 7,000 feet, engaging ALT hold on the AP/FD mode selector.

  • Page 80 We load the KRNO ILS16R approach into the GPS, selecting TAKLE as our IAF. The ILS frequency (110.9) is placed in the standby window of the 430W. Briefing the approach, we note our Decision Altitude (DA) is 5,515 feet. We set our approach MINIMUMS on the EFD1000 to 5,520 feet (MIN are set in increments of 10 feet, so we round up).
  • Page 81 We activate the approach on the GPS, and move the ILS frequency into the active window. GPSS continues to steer the plane to the initial approach fix, TAKLE, and, crossing TAKLE, turns us outbound on a 344º course for the procedure turn (Figure 3-34). We see the procedure turn drawn on our base map ahead of us, and watch it turn magenta as GPSS turns and flies the procedure turn for us, with no further pilot action required.

  • Page 82: Conclusion

    When the GS is full-scale deflection above us, the GS indicator on the VDI will show as a hollow diamond at the top of the scale (Figure 3-35). When the GS comes alive, the indicator will change to a solid green diamond and begin to move down the scale. Just before intercepting the GS, drop the gear, and check for three green lights.

    Chapter 4 Reference Guide The EFD1000 PFD is a panel-mounted Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) that presents the pilot with displays of attitude, altitude, indicated airspeed, heading, rate of turn, slip/skid, and navigation course deviation information. The system also displays supplemental flight data such as winds, TAS, OAT, etc., moving maps, pilot-selectable indices (“bugs”), and various annunciations to increase situational awareness and enhance flight safety.
