SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
AutoGyro_POH_Calidus Revision 4.0 – Issue Date 17.JAN.2019 7-19
WARNING
All GPS and/or EFIS display units requires regular updating of the hardware
and software, and of the maps. It is the operators responsibility to ensure the
equipment is correctly updated prior to flight, and to understand that the GPS
system is NOT a primary navigational aid. The GPS system (or any other
information displayed on the device) has not been approved to any
airworthiness standard.
WARNING
Handheld and panel mounted GPS units are protected from the aircraft, and
vice versa, by the inline fuse in the unit power supply lead (normally the plug
that fits into the aircraft aux power socket). Never operate with the fuse
bypassed, otherwise a malfunction in the unit may lead to an electrical fire.
Some GPS units and antennas emit magnetic fields that vary with respect to
time and/or levels of battery charge. These may change your compass
deviations, so always cross check between the compass headings with your
GPS installed and placard accordingly if required
The Glass Cockpit layout is tailored to the integrated flight and navigation suite DYNON
AVIONICS SkyView. In addition to navigational and moving map functions, the system
provides primary flight data and engine/vehicle monitoring. It is of utmost importance to read
and understand the operator’s manual and to become familiar with the system before
operation. In case of a system failure, a 2 ¼” (47mm) altimeter, air speed indicator and rotor
speed indicator are provided as back-up instrumentation.
Depending on the chosen instrumentation and optional equipment, the depicted panels on
the following pages may vary.
Various compasses may be fitted to suit different markets – for instance, only PAI-700 card
compasses are supplied to the UK market.
The AirSpeed Indicator and Altimeter are normally analogue instrument. Later generation
panels may be fitted with electronic ASI and Altimeters, manufactured by AutoGyro. These
each contain a backup battery, which will last, if charged, in excess of 30minutes. The units
may be turned on and off independently of the aircraft power supply.
