Garmin® Pilot Profiles
One of the great features of the Cirrus Perspective™
by Garmin® system is its display flexibility with
literally hundreds of variations on the information on
the screens, and the ability to store custom profiles
for up to 25 users.
However, in a multi-user environment each pilot
needs to be respectful of their fellow pilot’s profile.
If you have started the system with a different pilot’s profile and you make changes to
the displays, those changes will be recorded into that other pilot’s profile.
To avoid making these unwanted changes to other profiles, try the following:
1. The first time you fly behind the Garmin system, use a generic profile
2. Immediately go into the systems page and record a new profile with your name
3. Make all the adjustments, tweaks and changes you would like
4. Always select your profile for future flights
5. As you learn more about the Garmin system or if you are flying in different
environments, you may wish to make changes to the profile and as long as you
started with your profile those changes will not recorded in someone else's
6. You can change profiles after the system has been started if you forgot to do so
at start-up. This is done on the systems page.
Audio Panel
Cirrus uses the Garmin® GMA350c audio
panel, now with Bluetooth connectivity.
This audio panel has some amazing new features such as “3-D” audio and the option to
connect audio devices such as phones and MP3 players via Bluetooth. We recommend
a thorough tutorial, review, practice and check out before flying with this for the first
time.
Just like any new technology, it’s great once you become familiar but to get all the very
best features from the system it does have more of a learning curve than the older
audio panels.
