processing to determine the aircraft’s magnetic heading.
The temperature probe provides outside air temperature (OAT) data to the
ADC. The Garmin GNS 430 GPS provides input to the AHRS and PFD/MFD.
G500 equipped Diamonds do not have a conventional turn coordinator. A slip-skid indicator
is located at the top of the attitude indicator. Step on the “brick” instead of the “ball”. Use
the reference lines and the magenta line that appears above the heading indicator to identify
a standard rate or half-standard rate turn. Outside air temperature (OAT) displays on PFD
under the airspeed tape. Ground track can be identified on the heading indicator by a small
magenta diamond near the lubber line (only visible when ground track is different than
heading). The digital altitude and airspeed readouts are very sensitive and can cause some
pilots to continuously make corrections for insignificant deviations.
