*NOTE:
This manual refers to the EFIS, display unit and screen; although it may seem
like there are all interchangeable terms, it is important to note that they all refer to different
aspects of the Sport EX/Horizon EX system:
•
EFIS:
Electronic Flight Information System. This refers to the Sport EX/Horizon EX
system as a whole; it includes the display unit, peripheral devices and the
components that connect them together (such as wiring harnesses). Alternatively
referred to as “the system.”
•
Display Unit:
This is the centerpiece of the EFIS. It is made up of the electronic
components that connect to the peripheral devices and the physical elements that
the pilot uses to interact with the system. It takes the data from the peripheral
devices, processes it and then displays a human-readable version of that data on
its scre
en for the pilot to use. Abbreviated and referred to as “DU;’ may also be
referred to by model name, “Sport EX/Horizon EX.”
•
Screen:
This is the physical screen of the Display Unit; it’s what all the data from
the system is
displayed on for the pilot’s use.
