7.4 PFD-Related Settings
Once the physical ADAHRS installation is complete, it may be necessary to configure
PFD-related ADAHRS settings for the SkyView system. All ADAHRS settings are
automatically shared between displays in multi-display systems.
7.4.1 Aircraft Icon
The airplane symbol at the center of the compass rose on the PFD Page, and the center
of MAP Page can be changed. There are a variety of airplane types available, including
“Fighter”, “Jumbo”, and “Twin”, and more. The symbol can be set in SYSTEM SETUP >
AIRCRAFT INFORMATION > AIRCRAFT ICON. There is no “preview” of the symbol –
change it and see how you like it in the PFD and the MAP.
7.4.2 Measurement Units
Set altitude, distance and speed, temperature, barometer, and pressure measurement
units as detailed in Section 21.5.8: How to Configure Units of Measure.
7.4.3 Airspeed Limitations
Use the values on this page to set IAS tape colors. Set V-speed (e.g., stall speed in
landing configuration) thresholds on the Airspeed Limitations Page (SETUP MENU > PFD
SETUP > AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS). If your aircraft limitations are expressed in TAS
rather than IAS, set Vne EXPRESSED AS: TAS.
If you do set Vne EXPRESSED AS: TAS, this will affect the Autopilot Pitch Axis
MAXIMUM AIRSPEED.
The values on this page are default values that act as placeholders. You must adjust
these values to work with your aircraft for any colors to show up on the IAS tape and also
to be able to calibrate the autopilot servos.
7.4.4 Vertical Speed Scale
Set the vertical speed scale on the Vertical Speed Scale Page (SETUP MENU > PFD
SETUP > VERTICAL SPEED SCALE).
7.4.5 G Meter
Go to this page (SETUP MENU > PFD SETUP > G METER) to configure the G meter.
The pop-up thresholds are G values that, when exceeded, will cause the G meter to
display automatically. The G meter replaces the HSI when it is displayed. In addition to
popping up automatically, the G meter can be manually toggled on and off using the PFD
> G METER button. If you do not want the G meter to ever be displayed automatically,
set the positive pop-up threshold value very high and the negative pop-up threshold value
very low.
You can also set yellow and red cautionary ranges of the G meter here, and whether or
not the max/min recorded G’s are reset at each SkyView boot-up.
