Reference Guide
The 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, groundspeed, moving maps, pilot-selectable indices
(bugs), and various annunciations to increase situational awareness and
enhance flight safety. Moving map situational awareness information is
displayed when the unit is connected to compatible GPS equipment.
The PFD system components include the PFD display head, a Remote
Sensor Module (RSM), a Configuration Module (CM), and the optional
Analog Converter Unit (ACU). Chapter 1, Welcome and Introduction,
provides a detailed discussion on the PFD system components.
When interfaced with a compatible autopilot, the Pro MAX PFD system
provides heading and course information to the autopilot, which
enables the autopilot to follow the Course and Heading values set by
the pilot on the PFD in much the same way as with a mechanical HSI.
When interfaced with a compatible GPS, the Pro PFD can provide GPS
Steering (GPSS) to an autopilot.
NOTE
The optional ACU enables the interface of the Pro
MAX PFD system with legacy panel-mounted GPS
navigators, VOR/Localizer radios, and autopilots.
