DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
General
Garmin G500 IFDS (Integrated Flight Deck System) is an avionics suite designed
to integrate pilot/aircraft interaction into one central system. The system combines
primary flight instrumentation and navigational information, all displayed on two
large color screens: the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the Multifunction Dis-
play (MFD).
The system is composed of several units also known as Line Replaceable Units
(LRUs). LRUs have a modular design: some ones are installed directly on the in-
strument panel, some other ones are installed remotely in dedicated areas of the
a/c prescribed by G500 Installation manual.
Each LRU has a specific function, or sub-set of functions, that contributes to the
system’s operation.
In addition to G500 LRUs two analog pneumatic indicators for airspeed and alti-
tude are installed on the instrument panel to keep providing the pilot with main
flight information also in the event of G500 failure.
