Standard Avionics
General
R1 Standard avionics navigation and communication equipment are mounted in the center console and are easily accessible from either pilot seat.
R2 Standard avionics suites are available in three different configurations. The first two configurations are for airplanes not equipped with a primary flight display (PFD).
R3 The third avionics configuration is for airplanes incorporating a PFD.
R4 The airplane is equipped with a Multi-Function Flight Display (MFD) that provides supplemental display of situational and navigational information.
MFD
R5 The airplane is equipped with an Avidyne FlightMax EX5000 Multi-Function Flight Display (MFD) with the following functions.
R6 The Map Page displays a moving map with the airplane’s current flight plan. The system allows a pilot to select what data is displayed on the Map Page.
R7 The Traffic Mode and Traffic Page provide traffic threat information gathered by the traffic sensor.
R8 Caution: It is dangerous to rely on the EX5000 as your sole source of data for collision avoidance.
R9 Maneuver your aircraft based only on ATC guidance or positive acquisition of conflicting traffic.
R10 The optional Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) Page displays in yellow or red an imminent terrain or obstacle hazard.
R11 This is an optional component and is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
R12 The Trip Page displays distance and time for each waypoint entered.
R13 The Trip Page is continuously updated during flight. The distance and time values are updated with each new positive fix from the GPS.
R14 The Nearest Page displays the nearest airports within 100 NM of the airplane’s position or the nearest airports to your destination.
R15 Detailed information about each airport may be displayed. Nearest VORs, NDBs, Intersections and Obstacles may also be viewed.
R16 The Checklist Page provides step-by-step instructions for procedures relating to the operation of the airplane.
R17 Normal and emergency checklists may be viewed.
Autopilot
R18 The airplane is equipped with an S-TEC, two-axis autopilot system. Features of the autopilot system depend on the avionics suite installed.
R19 For airplanes equipped with the PFD avionics configuration, the autopilot is fully integrated with the Entegra PFD.
R20 Six modes of the S-TEC 55X autopilot are supported by the Entegra PFD.
GPS Navigation
R21 The airplane is equipped with two Garmin GPS navigators. Model numbers are depend on the avionics configuration installed.
R22 The GPS navigators are capable of providing IFR enroute, terminal, and approach navigation with position accuracy better than 15 meters.
R23 The Jeppesen Navigation Database provides data on airports, standard approaches and departures, minimum safe altitudes, VORs, NDBs, intersections and more.
R24 North American and International databases are available.
R25 Database information is provided on a card that can be inserted into the card slot on the GPS unit.
Communication Transceivers
R26 The airplane is equipped with two VHF communication transceivers.
R27 The transceivers and integrated controls are mounted in the Garmin GPS units
R28 The transceivers receive all narrow and wide band VHF communication transmissions transmitted within range of the selected frequency.
R29 The upper Garmin is designated as COM 1. The antenna for COM 1 is located above the cabin on the airplane centerline.
R30 The lower Garmin is designated as COM 2. Then antenna for COM 2 is located on the underside of the cabin on the airplane centerline.
R31 The control panel for both units provides transceiver active and standby frequency indication, frequency memory storage and knob-operated frequency selection.
Navigation Receiver
R32 The airplane is equipped with a navigation receiver integrated into each of the Garmin GPS Navigators that is installed in the airplane.
R33 For airplanes equipped with two GPS units, the upper unit is designated as NAV 1.
R34 The lower unit is designated as NAV 2.
R35 The Nav antenna is mounted on top of the vertical tail and provides VOR and Localizer inputs for both Nav receivers.
R36 The receiver control provides active and standby frequency indication, frequency memory storage, and knob-operated frequency selection.
Transponder
R37 A Single Garmin ATC Mode C transponder with squawk capability is installed in the airplane.
R38 The transponder system includes an integrated receiver / transmitter control unit, an antenna, and an altitude encoder.
R39 A function key allows for selection of pressure altitude, flight time, count up timer and count down timer modes.
Audio System
R40 A Garmin audio panel is installed and provisions for four noise-canceling headsets with integrated microphones are included.
R41 The forward microphone-headsets use remote push-to-talk switches located on the top of the respective control yoke grip.
R42 The rear headsets do not have COM transmit capabilities and do not required push-to-talk switches.
R43 The microphone, headset and automatic noise reduction power jacks for the pilot and front passenger are located in the map case.
R44 Similar jacks for the aft passengers are located on the aft portion of the center console.
R45 Jacks are also provided to the rear passengers for plugging personal entertainment devices such as portable radios, cassette players or CD players.
