Single Display EFD1000 PFD System
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. For detailed
information on the PFD see Aspen Avionics document number 091-00005-001 EFD1000
PFD Pilot’s Guide.
Add a second EFD1000 congured as a Multi-Function Display (MFD) (Figure 1-3),
replacing the altimeter and air speed indicators, and you’ll double the capabilities of
your system, while also providing complete redundancy and backup to your PFD.
The EFD1000 MFD contains the same ADAHRS and I/O capabilities as the PFD for
full redundancy, and can assume the role of PFD should your main PFD ever fail. The
EFD1000 MFD, when congured as a V2.0 PFD includes all of the features and functions
of the EFD1000 Pro and Pro Digital PFD.
