Using Your D3
5-8 D3 Pilot’s Guide
• Touch “Accept” to complete the alignment.
• Wait for a GPS fix. When a GPS fix is attained, the upper left corner of the display will show GPS
signal strength, and the main display will display flight instruments.
• If GPS lock takes too long to achieve, or you have the D3 installed in a place where its internal
GPS antenna is unlikely to get a lock (such as in the panel), plug in the external GPS antenna
and ensure it has a clear view of the sky. The top of the panel glare shield is usually a good
choice for GPS antenna placement.
• Go Fly! ™
• You may find that you need to re-adjust the roll and pitch a bit more in flight.
Adjusting Brightness for Night Flight
Enter the Menu to adjust the brightness settings. When “Auto” is enabled, brightness will adjust
automatically to match the ambient light.
You can also move the brightness slider to manually adjust brightness. When you adjust the
brightness manually via the slider, auto-dimming is turned off.
Other Display Options
Other display options can be changed by going to the Display menu. These include:
• Synth Vision: Toggles the display of synthetic vision on and off.
• Turn Rate: Choose between the modern “EFIS” style magenta bar below the roll scale, or a
more conventional-style miniature airplane icon that behaves like the airplane in a classic turn
coordinator instrument.
