  2. Flying the C-172 TAA

  3. Introduction • Aspen EFD 1000 PFD • System Overview • Operation • Flight Scenario

  4. N4814C

  5. Conventions • Conventions for the Aspen • The following conventions, definitions, terminology, and colors are used in this manual and on the EFD1000 PFD. • Covered Functionality • This guide covers all the functionality available in the EFD1000 Pilot PFD. Some functionality is unavailable in the EFD1000 Pilot PFD and is noted in the text. • Terminology

  6. Conventions • Color Philosophy • RED • Flight envelope and system limits, and for warning annunciations - immediate pilot recognition and which may require immediate pilot correction or compensatory action.

  7. Conventions • Color Philosophy • GREEN • Navigation information or mode data related to or provided by the navigation source currently selected for display on the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI). Green is also used to indicate Data Link Weather precipitation areas and the status of user controls

  8. Conventions • Color Philosophy • AMBER • Abnormal information sources, and for caution information that requires immediate pilot awareness and for which subsequent pilot action may be required.

  9. Conventions • Color Philosophy • WHITE • Primary flight data (e.g., IAS, ALT, HDG), scales, and menu items that are selectable for editing

  10. Conventions • Color Philosophy • MAGENTA • Pilot-selectable references (bugs) enabled for editing, for depicting the active GPS navigation leg on a moving map display, and for depicting the flight director bar

  11. Conventions • Color Philosophy • GRAY • Show supplemental flight data, and for hotkey and menu legends that are OFF, disabled, or inactive

  12. Conventions • Color Philosophy • CYAN • Indicate editable values that are not currently selected for editing. CYAN is also used to display bearing pointers, proximity and other traffic icons, and GPS track marker

  13. Conventions • Color Philosophy • BLUE • Indicate the sky and Data Link Weather precipitation areas

  14. Conventions • Color Philosophy • BROWN • Indicates the ground

  15. Conventions • Warnings, Cautions, and Notes • Where applicable warnings, cautions, and notes are given. Aspen Avionics uses the following icons and definitions: • Warnings • Emphasizes a crucial operating or maintenance procedure, which, if not strictly observed, could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or long term health hazards. Indicates a hazard that may require immediate corrective action.

  16. Conventions • Warnings, Cautions, and Notes • Where applicable warnings, cautions, and notes are given. Aspen Avionics uses the following icons and definitions: • Cautions • Indicates an essential operating or maintenance procedure, which, if not strictly observed, could result in damage to, or destruction of, equipment. Indicates the possible need for future corrective action.

  17. Conventions • Warnings, Cautions, and Notes • Where applicable warnings, cautions, and notes are given. Aspen Avionics uses the following icons and definitions: • Notes • Highlights an important operating or maintenance procedure, condition, or statement.

  18. System Component Overview • System Overview • The EFD1000 PFD system typically consists of four components • EFD1000 Display Unit

  19. System Component Overview • System Overview • The EFD1000 PFD system typically consists of four components • Configuration Module (CM)

  20. System Component Overview • System Overview • The EFD1000 PFD system typically consists of four components • Remote Sensor Module (RSM)

  21. System Component Overview • System Overview • The EFD1000 PFD system typically consists of four components • Analog Converter Unit (ACU)

  22. EFD 1000 Display Unit • Integral ADAHRS, backup battery (30 minutes of use minimum) and emergency GPS guidance • Integral altitude alerter/pre-select • GPS flight plan map views: 360º & Arc • Slaved directional gyro with heading bug

  23. EFD 1000 Display Unit • The EFD1000 PFD • Flat-panel LCD primary flight instrument with single display information delivered by the traditional six-pack of mechanical instruments: • Airspeed • Attitude • Altitude • Turn Coordinator • Heading Indicator- HSI • Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)

  24. EFD 1000 Display Unit • The PFD • Single vertical instrument • Highly customizable • The Attitude and Navigation displays: From stripped-down, minimalist presentations, to dense, information-rich displays — depending on pilot preference and phase of flight. • Replaces the existing Attitude Indicator and Heading Indicator/HSI. • The display is divided into three parts: • Upper Attitude Display • Lower Navigation Display • Data Bar in the middle of the upper and lower halves.

  25. Controls • Controls • The primary controls for the pilot controlling the EFD1000 are: • Two knobs and three buttons at the bottom of the display. • The knobs control setting CRS and HDG, and bugs and altitude settings. • The three buttons control selection of navigation sources for the CDI and bearing pointers.

  26. Controls • Controls • The additional primary controls for the pilot controlling the EFD1000 are: • Five Hot Keys to the right of the Navigation Display toggle various features on and off. The function of each is indicated by the label on the screen to the left of each button. • Three buttons above the Hot Keys control entering and exiting the Main Menu, setting the Map range, and reversion or manual power control.

  27. Right Knob • Right Knob • Inactive by Default • Home position is Heading: HDG • Altitude Bug-ALT • Heading Bug-HDG • Altimeter Setting-BARO • Approach Minimums Alerter-MIN • Pushing knob changes color of action from cyan to magenta

  28. Setting the Heading Bug • From the Home state, press the Right Knob once to select HDG for editing. The Knob label (HDG), the Heading Bug, and the Selected Heading field will all turn magenta. • Rotate the Knob to the desired heading value, shown both by the position of the Heading Bug and the numeric value in the Selected Heading field. • After 10 seconds of inaction, the knob reverts to its Home state (HDG), and the Heading Bug and Selected Heading field value will be in cyan color (inactive) state.

  29. Left Knob • Left Knob • CRS: Course • IAS: Airspeed Reference Bug • Inactive by Default • Home position is Course: (CRS) • Pushing knob changes color of action from cyan to magenta-numerical value changes, as well • If CDI is set by GPS inputs, the course cannot be controlled by the pilot

  30. Sync Function • Left Knob • Press knob with the indication of: • IAS: Bug current airspeed • CRS: VOR mode-Center CDI with TO; ILS mode-Current course • Right Knob • Press knob with the indication of: • ALT: Sync to current altitude • BARO: Sync barometric setting to 29.92 in • HDG: Sync heading to current heading
