The 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 rst real exposure to EFIS and glass cockpit ying, however, should get some
transition training from a certied ight instructor (CFI) with EFIS experience. Pilots are
also encouraged to study some of the excellent publications and training videos now
available to help with the transition.
This section gives an overview of the main display elements and features. (see Chapter
4, Reference Guide for more details).
2.3.1. Cleaning the Display Screen
The PFD Display Unit has an LCD screen that is prone to damage from scratches,
smudging, and clouding caused by the use of improper cleaning agents and abrasive
cloths. Exercise care when cleaning, using the following tips:
• Only clean the display when the PFD is o.
• Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a 50/50 solution of isopropyl
alcohol and water, a pre-moistened lens cleaning tissue, such as Bausch &
Lomb Sight Savers®, or a cleaning solution made especially for LCD displays.
• Never spray any cleaning solutions directly onto the screen; spray it into the
cleaning cloth.
• Gently wipe the screen in a circular motion. Do not press hard on the screen.
• Remove all excess moisture to prevent damage to the display.
• The display should be dry before turning on the PFD.
CAUTION
Use caution when using isopropyl alcohol as it is
ammable. Using any other chemicals or materials
voids the warranty.
