Special Notes to the Installer
It is important to review the entire Installation Manual before installing the EFD1000 E5. The following
items are of special note and should be considered for planning and installation.
The installer must determine whether the design changes described in this document are
compatible with previously approved modifications.
This installation is not authorized in aircraft with a MTOW exceeding 6000 pounds.
Correct placement of the aircraft instruments is critical to maintain the aircraft
certification. Certain instruments can be removed. More importantly, certain instruments
must not be removed, See Section 4. The existing turn/bank instrument or a backup attitude
indicator must be retained for all installations except Aircraft Limited to VFR, See Section 4.5.
The RSM contains magnetic elements that are sensitive to magnetic fields on the
aircraft. Section 6.9 describes locating the RSM installation. Mounting the RSM over the cabin
can be problematic due to passengers using headsets with magnetic speakers. Exercise the
control cables while validating a location. Consider all the magnetic field variations. A
satisfactory RSM location is part of the Final Check Sheet. Use caution when installing the RSM
connector to avoid damaging the connector or wiring.
The RSM can be damaged if exposed to a magnet. Do not use magnetic tools or magnetic
levels near the RSM.
The EFD1000 E5 does not display Flight Director. The existing flight director indicator will
need to be retained and relocated. See section 4.4.3
