  • Page 15: Section 1 System Overview

    In the case of aircraft power loss, the optional battery back-up sustains the G5 flight display with up to 4 hours of emergency power. A dual G5 installation offers reversionary display capability plus the added redundancy of dual Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference Systems (ADAHRS) and back-up batteries.

  • Page 16: Micro Sd Cards

    During system initialization, the G5 displays the message ‘ALIGNING’ over the attitude indicator. The G5 should display valid attitude typically within the first minute of power application. The G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight. G5 Electronic Flight Instrument Pilot's Guide for Non-Certified Aircraft...

  • Page 17: Operation

    Any failure of the inertial sensors results in loss of attitude and information (indicated by a red 'X' over the PFD attitude display). If the G5 senses 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.

  • Page 18: G5 Heading

    Magnetic heading is available in a standalone installation with a magnetometer, and when the G5 is configured as a backup in a G3X/G3X Touch system and the G5 is receiving magnetic heading data from an ADAHRS unit. If magnetic heading input data is not available, the G5 will display GPS-derived ground track instead.
