EFIS-D10A Pilot’s User Guide
The glideslope indicator is located to the left of the roll scale tape, and behaves much as described in the HSI Operation
section on page 6-1. The GS needle is green when sourced from a nav radio and magenta when sourced from GPS, and
appears only when tuned to an ILS or a GPS source with vertical guidance.
Due to screen space limitations, turning on the glideslope prevents a left info item from being displayed on the 2/3-
screen EFIS page. Additionally, at extreme roll angles, the glideslope is hidden to provide space for other screen
elements.
Stabilized heading tape and digital readout
Located at the top of the EFIS page, the heading indicator
functions much like a standard slaved directional gyro.
North, East, South, and West directions are labeled on the
tape, “N,” “E,” “S,” and “W,” respectively. The digital readout displays your current heading, while the surrounding ta
scrolls beneath its arrow. You may set a yellow bug on this tape as a heading reminder. The pointer in the digital read
is hollow to allow the GPS ground track indicator, displayed as a magenta arrow, to show through. A difference betwee
the ground track arrow and the current heading indicates that some wind is present. The currently set course heading is
represented by a “V,” colored green when sourced from a nav radio and magenta when sourced from GPS. Aligning the
ground track pointer within the course pointer compensates for all wind and takes you direct to the waypoint or VOR.
For course and ground track to be displayed on the heading tape, they must both be enabled in the CLUTTR menu, as
described on page

Like a conventional gyro-stabilized magnetic compass, magnetic heading reacts immediately to turn rate so that heading
changes are reflected immediately. It then uses magnetometer data over the long term to ensure that it remains correct.
Additionally, heading is corrected for attitude so that it is accurate as you pitch and roll.
