7.1 INTRODUCTION
Section 7 of the Pilot's Operating Handbook contains a description of the entire aircraft and its
systems, including the integration of the GARMIN G500 / G500 TXi system and the Glass
Panel Engine Monitor MVP-50P-AQ as well as information related to their use.
Refer to Section 9 for the description and operating instructions of optional equipment and
systems.
NOTE
A more in depth description and the user manuals of the GARMIN G500 / G500 TXi and the
MVP-50P-AQ can be found in the GARMIN G500 / G500 TXi Pilot's Guide and MVP-50P-AQ
Operating Instructions.
7.1.1 Garmin G500 / G500 TXi System (Primary Flight Display)
Both GARMIN G500 systems have 2 displays, the PFD and the MFD. Together they form the
Garmin Display Unit (GDU). In addition, the GDU has an Attitude and Heading Reference
System (AHRS unit) and an Air-Data Computer (ADC unit). The GARMIN G500 TXi display has
an integrated AHRS and the ADC is installed directly onto the back side of the GDU. The
Garmin G500 has both units installed separately into the fuselage.
Both systems are organized as shown in the following illustrations.
For the G500 and G500 TXi system the GDU is attached to the aircraft power supply through
its own push-pull type circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is located on the right side of the
instrument panel and is labeled
PFD
. This circuit breaker also protects all other components of
the G500 TXi system, because they all are connected via the display unit.
The G500 AHRS unit and the G500 magnetometer are attached to the power supply through
their own push-pull circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is located on the right side of the
instrument panel and is labeled
AHRS
.
