7.1. Operating Limitations
The Aspen EFD1000 PFD Airplane Flight Manual Supplement, A-01-175-00 Revision
B (or later FAA Approved revision), contains the limitations that apply to your specic
aircraft installations, and must be immediately available to the ight crew when the
EFD1000 PFD is being used to provide ight or navigation information. The following
are summary, advisory information that apply to most EFD1000 PFD installations.
7.1.1. Weight & Center of Gravity
Installation of the EFD1000 system may result in a small net change to the aircraft
empty weight and associated moment arm. Refer to the revised weight and balance
records carried in the aircraft for details.
7.1.2. RSM GPS Usage
The EFD1000 RSM GPS is authorized for emergency use only. Position data from the
RSM GPS will ONLY be presented following the loss or failure of a certied external GPS
navigator.
7.1.3. Geographic Limitation
Like all compass systems, the magnetometer used in the EFD1000 system will
experience degraded performance in the vicinity of the magnetic poles. When the
NOTE
When the RSM GPS is in use, magnetic
variation data used by the basemap
is not updated. This can result in
misaligned basemap symbology
whenever the external GPS position
source is lost and the aircraft travels
far enough to produce a signicant
change in the local magnetic
variation.
