4.5 Course Pointer Auto Slewing
The G500 HSI will auto slew, i.e. automatically rotate the GPS course pointer to the
desired course defined by each GPS leg. The system will also auto slew the VHFNAV
course pointer when the CDl transitions to a LOC setting if an ILS, LOC, LOC BC, LDA,
or SDF approach is activated in the GPS/WAAS navigator.
The VHFNAV (green) course pointer will only auto slew if the approach is active in the
navigator, the LOC frequency is loaded in the active NAV frequency, and then the HSI
source is changed to the corresponding VHFNAV for the approach. Back Course
approaches will auto slew to the reciprocal course.
The system is not capable of automatically setting the inbound VHFNAV course pointer
if an approach is not active in the GNS Navigation System.
4.6 Terrain Display
The G500 terrain and obstacle information appears on the MFD display as red and
yellow tiles or towers, and is depicted for advisory only. Aircraft maneuvers and
navigation must not be predicated upon the use of the terrain display. Terrain unit alerts
are advisory only and are not equivalent to warnings provided by TAWS.
4.7 Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT)
The SVT system may be
turned on or off, as desired. To access the synthetic vision
system soft key menu, press the PFD soft key on the GDU
620, followed by the SYN VIS
soft key. Synthetic vision terrain, horizon headings, and airport signs can be toggled on
and off from this menu. Press the BACK soft key to return to the root PFD menu.
4.5 Autopilot Operations
The G500 PFD/MFD System offers various integration capabilities dependent mainly
upon the type of autopilot installed in a particular aircraft.
5. PERFORMANCE
No change.
6. MASS AND BALANCE
Upon removal and installation of the Garmin G500, the change of empty mass and
corresponding center of gravity of the airplane must be recorded according to Chapter 6 of the
AFM.
Revision 25 DOT Approved
