Evolution Flight Display System AFMS 3 Emergency and Abnormal Procedures/Conditions 3.1 Pitot/Static System Blockage If a blocked pitot or static line is suspected or annunciated, proceed as follows: PITOT HEAT..................................................................... ON ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE ...................................... SELECT OPEN AUTOPILOT .....................................................................
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS NOTE: The CROSS CHECK ATTITUDE message indicates that the statistical confidence in the ADAHRS solution is degraded. Momentary annunciations may be seen during aggressive maneuvers, such as 60-degree turns or aerobatics, which are normal. 3.3 ADAHRS Attitude Disagreement Should differences be observed between one or more EFD1000 displays and/or the standby instruments, monitor all available attitude, airspeed, and altitude information to diagnose faulty indicator(s).
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS 3.4 MFD Reversionary Mode Operation (EFD1000 MFD only) To select REV mode and to change the autopilot source from the PFD to the MFD (if configured), proceed as follows: Autopilot ..................................................................... DISCONNECT EFD1000 MFD REV Button .............................................. MOMENTARY PRESS REVERSIONARY PFD Display ........................................ Select XFILL as desired BARO SETTING ....................
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS If the reverted MFD is changed back to an MFD, the A/P source connection will automatically return to the EFD1000 PFD and the annunciation will change accordingly. 3.5 In-Flight ADAHRS Reset To reset an EFD1000 ADAHRS proceed as follows: ATTITUDE ........................................................................ MAINTAIN STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT by visual reference, or by standby instruments AUTOPILOT ............................................................
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS NOTE: When an EFD1000 ADAHRS is manually reset in flight, it performs an abbreviated initialization that usually takes less than 30 seconds. During the initialization, the attitude and direction information are removed and replaced with red “X”s and the annunciations, “ATTITUDE FAIL” and “DIRECTION INDICATOR FAIL” are presented. Gentle maneuvering during the initialization is permitted.
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS NOTE: The internal battery normally provides 30-60 minutes of operation at 20°C and warmer. At very cold temperatures internal battery operation is not assured. The Emergency Backup Battery will provide at least 30 minutes of operation with 80% indicated charge when at -20°C. A fully charged EBB at +20°C or warmer will typically provide power for two or more hours of operation.
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS NOTE: Heading and navigation inputs to the autopilot are provided by the PFD. Turning off the PFD may affect selected or available autopilot modes. NOTE: For installations with the EA100 A/P AHRS, turning off the EFD1000 connected to the EA100 will cause automatic disconnection of the autopilot and removes the flight director display on the remaining EFD1000.
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS The EBB is protected by thermal and short-circuit sensing circuitry to prevent battery overheating or damage. The battery is normally connected to its EFD1000 MFD. If it is desired to remove battery power from the EFD1000 MFD, or to otherwise isolate the EBB, the EBB includes an externally activated isolation relay integral to the EBB aluminum housing. The EBB Disconnect switch installed in the instrument panel activates this relay.
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS An intercommunications link exists between the EFD1000 PFD, EFD1000 MFD, and EFD500 MFD to share various information, including barometric setting, heading, airspeed and altitude information. The EFD1000 PFD and EFD1000 MFD both receive and transmit data to each other, and each also transmits data to the EFD500 MFD. The EFD500 MFD only receives data, but does so from each installed EFD1000 display.
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS GPS groundspeed is compared to airspeed to determine if a pitot blockage has occurred. When the GPS is inoperative, the attitude and heading indications will be replaced by red-X indications when the aircraft slows after landing. Figure 3 GPS POS FAILED indication 3.12 Loss of MFD or PFD Database Card Each EFD1000 and EFD500 includes a microSDHC (SD card, High Capacity) card slot that can accept a database card. The database card must remain in the EFD display.
Evolution Flight Display System AFMS removed from the display. In the case of the MFD, the screen is replaced with a message indicating the nature of the problem. In the case of the PFD, the system will present the normal attitude and heading display and EVS cannot be selected. All navigation and attitude presentations remain in view and permit the pilot to conduct the flight operation normally.
