SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.4 SECURE DIGITAL CARDS NOTE: DO NOT use the database SD cards for any purpose other than database storage. NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for instructions on updating databases. NOTE: Ensure that the system is powered off before inserting the SD card. The GDU 1240A data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the top right portion of the display bezels. Each display bezel is equipped with two SD card slots.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations. NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: See the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. The system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION The displays are connected via a single Ethernet bus, thus allowing for high-speed communication. As shown in Figure 1-1. The GIA 63W #1 is connected to PFD1 and GIA 63W #2 is connected to the HSDB switch. This section discusses the normal and reversionary modes of operation as well as the various AHRS modes of the system. In the event of display failure, the display modes are as follows: • PFD1 failure – MFD enters reversionary mode; PFD2 remains in normal mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW REVERSIONARY MODE NOTE: The system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Appendices for further information regarding system-specific alerts. Reversionary mode is a mode of operation in which all important flight information is presented identically on at least one of the remaining displays (see Figure 1-21). Transition to reversionary mode should be straightforward for the pilot, for flight parameters are presented in the same format as in normal mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for specific AHRS alert information. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while the AHRS is not operating normally can degrade AHRS accuracy. In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 77 AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW GPS INPUT FAILURE NOTE: In-flight initialization of AHRS, when operating without any valid source of GPS data and at true air speed values greater than approximately 200 knots, is not guaranteed. Under these rare conditions, it is possible for in-flight AHRS initialization to take an indefinite amount of time which would result in an extended period of time where valid AHRS outputs are unavailable. The system provides two sources of GPS information.

If the aircraft is at least 500 feet below the transition altitude and then climbs through this altitude and the STD BARO Softkey has not been pressed, the barometric pressure setting flashes in light blue until the pressure setting is changed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI) The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) displays the aircraft vertical speed on a fixed scale with labels at 2000 and 4000 fpm and minor tick marks every 1000 fpm. Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm. If the rate of ascent/descent exceeds 4000 fpm, the pointer appears at the edge of the tape and the rate appears inside the pointer.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI) The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a rotating compass card in a heading-up orientation. Letters indicate the cardinal points with numeric labels every 30˚. Major tick marks are at 10˚ intervals and minor tick marks are at 5˚ intervals. A digital reading of the current heading appears on top of the HSI, and the current track is represented on the HSI by a magenta diamond.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Arc HSI is a 140˚ expanded section of the compass rose. The Arc HSI contains a Course Pointer, combined To/From Indicator and a sliding deviation indicator, and a deviation scale. Upon station passage, the To/From Indicator flips and points to the tail of the aircraft, just like a conventional To/From flag. Depending on the navigation source, the CDI on the Arc HSI can appear in two different ways, an arrowhead (GPS, VOR, OBS) or a diamond (LOC).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Navigation angles (track, heading, course, bearing) are corrected to the computed magnetic variation (Mag Var) or referenced to true north (T), set on the AUX - System Setup Page. When an approach referenced to true north has been loaded into the flight plan, the system generates a message to change the navigation angle setting to True at the appropriate time.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS TURN RATE INDICATOR The Turn Rate Indicator is located directly above the rotating compass rose. Tick marks to the left and right of the lubber line denote half-standard and standard turn rates. A magenta Turn Rate Trend Vector shows the current turn rate. The end of the trend vector gives the heading predicted in six seconds, based on the present turn rate.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS When a bearing pointer is displayed, the associated information window is also displayed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI) NOTE: During a heading change of greater than 105˚ with respect to the course, the CDI on the Arc HSI switches to the opposite side of the deviation scale and displays reverse sensing. The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) moves left or right from the course pointer along a lateral deviation scale to display aircraft position relative to the course. If the course deviation data is not valid, the CDI is not displayed.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 5.6 FLIGHT PLANNING Flight planning consists of building a flight plan by entering waypoints one at a time, adding waypoints along airways, and inserting departures, airways, arrivals, or approaches as needed. The system allows flight planning information to be entered from either the MFD or PFD.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The following could cause the airway update to fail: • Airway identifier, entry waypoint or exit waypoint not found in the new database. • Airway entry/exit waypoint is not an acceptable waypoint for the airway – either the waypoint is no longer on the airway, or there is a new directional restriction that prevents it being used. • Loading the new airway sequence would exceed the capacity of the flight plan.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 15) As seen in Figure 5-132, the aircraft is approaching TOD. Note the target vertical speed required to reached the selected altitude. The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) and the Required Vertical Speed Indicator (RVSI) are now displayed on the PFD as shown in Figure 5-133. When the aircraft is within one minute of the TOD, it is annunciated as shown in Figure 5-133, and an aural alert ‘Vertical track’ will be heard.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 16) Upon reaching TOD, a descent vertical speed is established by placing the VSI pointer in line with the RVSI as shown in Figure 5-134. Keep Vertical Deviation Indicator Centered Align Actual Vertical Speed with Required Vertical Speed Figure 5-134 VDI & RVSI Showing Correctly Established Descent 17) When the aircraft is one minute from the bottom of descent (BOD) it is annunciated as shown in Figure 5-135. Upon reaching the offset waypoint for OPSHN, the aircraft is at 10,000 feet.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 18) The aircraft is approaching OPSHN. The upcoming turn and next heading are annunciated at the top left of the PFD as seen in Figure 5-136. Initiate the turn and maneuver the aircraft on a track through the turn radius to intercept the magenta line for the OPSHN to FSHER leg and center the CDI. Figure 5-136 Turn to intercept OPSHN to FSHER Leg 312 Embraer Prodigy® Flight Deck 100 Pilot’s Guide 190-00728-04 Rev.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 19) After passing OPSHN, the next leg of the arrival turns magenta as shown in Figure 5-137. The magenta arrow in the flight plan list now indicates the OPSHN to FSHER leg of the arrival procedure is now active. Figure 5-137 Tracking the OPSHN to FSHER Leg 20) The flight continues through the arrival procedure to PYNON (see Figure 5-138).

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 21) Upon passing PYNON the approach procedure automatically becomes active. The approach may be activated at any point to proceed directly to the IAF. In this example, the aircraft has progressed through the final waypoint of the arrival and the flight plan has automatically sequenced to the IAF as the active leg, activating the approach procedure (see Figure 5-139).
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 22) The IAF is the next waypoint. At the TOD, establish a descent vertical speed as previously discussed in Step 16. The aircraft altitude is 9,000 feet upon reaching HABUK. Figure 5-141 Descending Turn to the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) 316 Embraer Prodigy® Flight Deck 100 Pilot’s Guide 190-00728-04 Rev.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 23) After crossing FALUR the next waypoint is the FAF. The flight phase changes to LPV on the HSI indicating the current phase of flight is in Approach Mode and the approach type is LPV. CDI scaling changes accordingly and is used much like a localizer when flying an ILS approach. The RVSI is no longer displayed and the VDI changes to the Glidepath Indicator (as shown in Figure 5-142) when the final approach course becomes active. Figure 5-142 Descending to the FAF 190-00728-04 Rev.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 24) After crossing CEGIX, the aircraft continues following the glidepath to maintain the descent to “AT or ABOVE” 6,370 feet at the Missed Approach Point (MAP) (RW35R) as seen in Figure 5-143. Figure 5-143 Descending to the Missed Approach Point In this missed approach procedure, the altitude immediately following the MAP (in this case ‘6368ft’) is not part of the published procedure.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 25) Upon reaching the MAP, it is decided to execute a missed approach. Automatic waypoint sequencing is suspended past the MAP. Press the SUSP Softkey on the PFD to resume automatic waypoint sequencing through the missed approach procedure. A direct-to is initiated to MOGAL, which is the Missed Approach Hold Point (MAHP) as seen in Figure 5-144. The aircraft is climbing to 10,000 feet. The CDI flight phase now changes from LPV to MAPR as seen on the HSI.
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 26) The aircraft continues climbing to “AT or ABOVE” 10,000 feet at MOGAL. A holding pattern is established at the MAHP (MOGAL) as shown in Figure 5-145. Figure 5-145 Establishing the Holding Pattern 27) The aircraft maintains 10,000 feet while following the magenta line through the hold as in Figure 5-146.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.2 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Garmin GWX 68 Airborne Color Weather Radar is a 4-color digital pulsed radar with 6.5 kilowatts of output power. It combines excellent range and adjustable scanning profiles with a high-definition target display. The pulse width is four microseconds (µs) on all ranges except the 2.5 nm range.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE NEXRAD AND AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR Both Airborne Weather Radar and NEXRAD measure weather reflectivity in decibels (dB). A decibel is a logarithmic expression of the ratio of two quantities. Airborne Weather Radar measures the ratio of power against the gain of the antenna, while NEXRAD measures the energy reflected back to the radar, or the radar reflectivity ratio. Both systems use colors to identify the different echo intensities, but the colors are not interchangeable.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE RADAR SIGNAL ATTENUATION The phenomenon of radar signal attenuation affects the operation of weather radar. When the radar signal is transmitted, it is progressively absorbed and scattered, making the signal weaker. This weakening, or attenuation, is caused by two primary sources, distance and precipitation. Attenuation because of distance is due to the fact that the radar energy leaving the antenna is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Figure 6-52 Precipitation Type and Reflectivity Ground Returns The intensity of ground target returns depends upon the angle at which the radar beam strikes the ground target (Angle of Incidence) and the reflective properties of that target. The gain can be adjusted so shorelines, rivers, lakes, and cities are well defined. Increasing the gain too much causes the display to fill in between targets, thus obscuring some landmarks. Cities normally provide a strong return signal.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Angle of Incidence The angle at which the radar beam strikes the target is called the Angle of Incidence. The figure illustrates the incident angle (‘A’). This directly affects the detectable range, the area of illumination, and the intensity of the displayed target returns. A large incident angle gives the radar system a smaller detectable range and lower display intensity due to minimized reflection of the radar energy.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE MPEL Boundary 11’ for 12” antenna Figure 6-54 MPEL Boundary BASIC ANTENNA TILT SETUP The following discussion is a simple method for setting up the weather radar antenna tilt for most situations. It is not to be considered an all encompassing setup that works in all situations, but this method does provide good overall parameters for the monitoring of threats.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE PRACTICAL APPLICATION USING THE BASIC TILT SETUP With the antenna tilt set as previously described, any displayed target return should be scrutinized when flying at altitudes between 2,000 and 30,000 feet AGL. If the displayed target advances on the screen to within 5 nautical miles of the aircraft, avoid it. This may be either weather or ground returns that are 2,000 feet or less below the aircraft.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE WEATHER MAPPING AND INTERPRETATION WEATHER DISPLAY INTERPRETATION When evaluating various target returns on the weather radar display, the colors denote precipitation intensity and rates shown in the table. Weather Mode Color Intensity Black Green Yellow Red Magenta < 23 dBZ 23 dBZ to < 32 dBZ 32 dBZ to < 41 dBZ 41 dBZ to < 50 dBZ 50 dBZ and greater Approximate Precipitation Rate (in/hr.) < .01. .01 - 0.1. 0.1 - 0.5 0.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Along squall lines (multiple cells or clusters of cells in a line) individual cells may be in different stages of development. Areas between closely spaced, intense targets may contain developing clouds not having enough moisture to produce a return. However, these areas could have strong updrafts or downdrafts. Targets showing wide areas of green are generally precipitation without severe turbulence.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE In areas of multiple heavy cells, use the Vertical Scan feature along with antenna tilt management to examine the areas. Remember to avoid shadowed areas behind targets.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.4 TAWS-A WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain avoidance. TAWS-A is intended only to enhance situational awareness. NOTE: Terrain data is not displayed when the aircraft is outside of the installed terrain database coverage area. NOTE: The data contained in the TAWS databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Class A TAWS incorporates radar altimeter input with the GPS-GSL altitude to provide a more accurate position reference when at lower altitudes for certain alert types, and to retain a level of ground proximity warning capability in the unlikely event of an airport, terrain or obstacle database failure. Baro-corrected altitude (or indicated altitude) is derived by adjusting the altimeter setting for local atmospheric conditions.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.6 TCAS I TRAFFIC WARNING: The GTS 850 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS I) is intended for advisory use only to aid the pilot in visually acquiring traffic. No avoidance maneuvers should be based solely upon TCAS I traffic information. It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to see and maneuver to avoid traffic. Aircraft without operating transponders out outside of the surveillance range are invisible to the GTS 850.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TRAFFIC SYMBOLOGY The GTS 850 uses the symbology shown in Table 6-17 to depict intruding traffic. Symbol Description Traffic Advisory (TA). Traffic Advisory out of the selected display range. Displayed at outer range ring at proper bearing.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TA ALERTING CONDITIONS The GTS 850 automatically adjusts its TA sensitivity level to reduce the likelihood of nuisance TA alerting during flight phases likely to be near airports. Level A (less) TA sensitivity is used when the aircraft’s groundspeed is less than 120 knots. In all other conditions, Level B (greater) TA sensitivity is used to assess TA threats.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TCAS I ALERTS When the GTS 850 detects a new TA, the following occur: • A single “Traffic!” voice alert is generated, followed by additional voice information about the bearing, relative altitude, and approximate distance from the intruder that triggered the TA (Table 6-19). The announcement “Traffic! 12 o’clock, high, four miles,” would indicate the traffic is in front of own aircraft, above own altitude, and approximately four nautical miles away.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM TEST NOTE: GTS 850 traffic surveillance is not available during the system test. Use caution when performing a system test while in-flight. The GTS 850 provides a system test mode to verify the TCAS I system is operating normally. The test takes about ten seconds to complete. When the system test is initiated, a test pattern of traffic symbols is displayed on the Traffic Map Page (Figure 6-116).
HAZARD AVOIDANCE OPERATION NOTE: The GTS 850 automatically transitions from STANDBY to OPERATE mode eight seconds after takeoff. The unit also automatically transitions from OPERATE to STANDBY mode 24 seconds after landing. After power-up, the GTS 850 is in Standby Mode. The unit must be in Operating Mode for traffic to be displayed and for TAs to be issued. Selecting the OPERATE Softkey allows the GTS 850 to switch from Standby Mode to Operating Mode as necessary.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TRAFFIC MAP PAGE The Map - Traffic Map Page shows surrounding traffic data in relation to the aircraft’s current position and altitude, without basemap clutter. It is the principal map page for viewing TCAS I traffic information. Aircraft orientation is always heading up unless there is no valid heading. Map range is adjustable with the RANGE Knob from 2 to 40 nm, as indicated by the map range rings.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Altitude Display The Pilot can select the volume of airspace in which non-threat and proximity traffic is displayed. TAs occurring outside of these limits will always be shown.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.7 TCAS II TRAFFIC WARNING: Traffic information shown on system displays is provided to aid in visually acquiring traffic. Traffic avoidance maneuvers are based upon TCAS II Resolution Advisories, ATC guidance, or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic. NOTE: TIS is disabled when TCAS II is installed. NOTE: Refer to the TCAS II documentation for a detailed discussion of the TCAS II system..
HAZARD AVOIDANCE A Resolution Advisory (RA) alerts the crew to intruding aircraft that are closing to within 15 to 35 seconds of a potential collision area. RAs include vertical guidance maneuvers designed to increase or maintain vertical separation from intruding aircraft. An RA that is beyond the selected display range is indicated by a half RA symbol at the edge of the screen at the relative bearing of the intruder.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE RESOLUTION ADVISORIES During an RA, vertical guidance indications appear on the Attitude Indicator and Vertical Speed indicators of the PFD to provide visual pitch cues for the flight crew to use to achieve (or maintain) vertical separation from intruding traffic (Figure 6-125). The Attitude Indicator will depict a range of pitch attitudes to avoid using no-fly pitch cues positioned on the pitch ladder.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SECTION 7 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM NOTE: The approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) always supersedes this Pilot’s Guide. The GFC 700 is a digital Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) that is fully integrated within the avionics architecture. The System Overview section provides a block diagram to support this system description.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.2 FLIGHT DIRECTOR OPERATION The flight director function provides pitch and roll commands to the AFCS and displays them on the PFDs. With the flight director active, the aircraft can be hand-flown to follow the path shown by the Command Bars. Maximum commanded pitch (±20°) and roll (30°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited to values established during AFCS certification. The flight director also provides commands to the autopilot.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AFCS STATUS BOX Flight director mode annunciations are displayed on the PFDs when the flight director is active. Flight director selection, autopilot, yaw damper, and Current Speed Control (if available) statuses are shown in the center of the AFCS Status Box. Lateral flight director modes are displayed on the left and vertical on the right.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise specified, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of specific mode selection, the flight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll modes(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green or magenta (if the mode reference is provided by the GPS navigation function) in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM COMMAND BARS Upon activation of the flight director, Command Bars are displayed in magenta on the PFDs as single cues or cross pointers. The aircraft symbol (in yellow) changes to accommodate the Command Bar format; the Command Bars do not override the aircraft symbol. The single-cue Command Bars (Figure 7-5) move together vertically to indicate pitch commands and bank left or right to indicate roll commands.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.3 VERTICAL MODES Table 7-2 lists the GFC 700’s vertical modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes. The UP/DN Wheel can be used to change the vertical mode reference while operating under Vertical Speed Mode.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM PITCH HOLD MODE (PIT) When the flight director is activated (with the FD Key) or switched, Pitch Hold Mode is selected by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated as the active vertical mode by the ‘PIT’ annunciation. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter), since Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when Pitch Hold Mode is activated.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SELECTED ALTITUDE CAPTURE MODE (ALTS) Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed with activation of the following modes: • Pitch Hold • Takeoff/Go Around (if the Selected Altitude is at least 400 feet above the current aircraft altitude) • Vertical Speed • Vertical Path Tracking (if the Selected Altitude is to be captured instead of the VNAV Target Altitude) • Flight Level Change The white ‘ALTS’ annunciation indicates Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Altitude Hold Mode is automatically armed when the flight director is in either of the following modes: • Selected Altitude Capture (see Figure 7-7) • VNV Target Altitude Capture (see Figure 7-17) The transition to Altitude Hold Mode automatically occurs when the altitude error is less than 50 feet. In this case, the Selected or VNV Target Altitude becomes the flight director’s altitude reference.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VERTICAL SPEED MODE (VS) In Vertical Speed Mode, the flight director acquires and maintains a Vertical Speed Reference (shown above the Vertical Speed Indicator). Current aircraft vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) becomes the Vertical Speed Reference at the moment of Vertical Speed Mode activation.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE MODE (FLC) NOTE: The Selected Altitude should be set before selecting Flight Level Change Mode. Flight Level Change Mode is selected by pressing the FLC Key. This mode acquires and maintains the Airspeed Reference (in IAS or Mach) while climbing or descending to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter). When Flight Level Change Mode is active, the flight director continuously monitors Selected Altitude, airspeed, Mach, and altitude.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM CHANGING THE AIRSPEED REFERENCE (FLC MODE) The Airspeed Reference (shown above the Airspeed Indicator) may be adjusted by: • Using the SPD SEL Knob • Pressing the CWS Button, hand-flying the aircraft to attain a new Airspeed Reference, then releasing the CWS Button During climb, the Airspeed Reference units automatically change from IAS to Mach when either the altitude or the airspeed listed in Table 7-3 are attained.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VERTICAL NAVIGATION MODES (VPTH, ALTV) NOTE: VNV is disabled when parallel track or Dead Reckoning Mode is active. Refer to the flight Management Section for more information on VNV flight plans. NOTE: The Selected Altitude takes precedence over any other vertical constraints. Vertical Navigation (VNV) flight control is available for enroute/terminal cruise and descent operations when VNV flight planning is available.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Prior to descent path interception, the Selected Altitude must be set below the current aircraft altitude by at least 75 feet.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM When a descent leg is captured (Figure 7-15), Vertical Path Tracking becomes active (magenta ‘VPTH’ annunciation shown) and tracks the descent profile. An altitude capture mode (‘ALTS’ or ‘ALTV’) is armed as appropriate.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Automatic Reversion to Pitch Hold Mode Several situations can occur while Vertical Path Tracking Mode is active which cause the flight director to revert to Pitch Hold Mode: • Vertical deviation exceeds 200 feet during an overspeed condition. • Vertical deviation experiences a discontinuity (not due to an altimeter barometric setting adjustment) that both exceeds 200 feet in magnitude and results in the vertical deviation exceeding 200 feet in magnitude.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VNV TARGET ALTITUDE CAPTURE MODE (ALTV) VNV Target Altitude Capture is analogous to Selected Altitude Capture Mode and is armed automatically after the VNV Key is pressed and the next VNV Target Altitude is to be intercepted before the Selected Altitude. The annunciation ‘ALTV’ indicates that the VNV Target Altitude is to be captured.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GLIDEPATH MODE (GP) (SBAS ONLY) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glidepath Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the glidepath upon release of the CWS Button. Glidepath Mode is used to track the SBAS-based glidepath. When Glidepath Mode is armed, ‘GP’ is annunciated in white in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GPS Approach Mode Active GPS is Selected Navigation Source LPV Approach Active Glidepath Mode Active Command Bars Indicate Descent on Glidepath Figure 7-19 Glidepath Mode 190-00728-04 Rev.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glideslope Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the glideslope upon release of the CWS Button. Glideslope Mode is available for LOC/ILS approaches to capture and track the glideslope. When Glideslope Mode is armed, LOC Approach Mode is armed as the lateral flight director mode. Selecting Glideslope Mode: 1) Ensure a valid localizer frequency is tuned.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM TAKEOFF (TO) AND GO AROUND (GA) MODES In Go Around and Takeoff modes, the flight director commands a constant set pitch attitude. The TO/GA Switch is used to select both modes. The mode entered by the flight director depends on whether the aircraft is on the ground. Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when the aircraft is at least 400 feet below the Selected Altitude at the time Takeoff or Go Around Mode is selected.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.4 LATERAL MODES The following table relates each GFC 700 lateral mode to its respective control and annunciation. Refer to the vertical modes section for information regarding Takeoff and Go Around mode. NOTE: The GFC 700 may generate a lower bank angle than the maximum roll command limit in degrees indicated in Table 7-4 by the amount needed to produce a turn rate equal to or less than standard rate.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL HOLD MODE (ROL) NOTE: If Roll Hold Mode is activated as a result of a mode reversion, the flight director rolls wings level. When the flight director is activated or switched, Roll Hold Mode is selected by default. This mode is annunciated as ‘ROL’ in the AFCS Status Box. The current aircraft bank angle is held, subject to the bank angle condition.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM HEADING SELECT MODE (HDG) Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the HDG Key. Heading Select Mode acquires and maintains the Selected Heading.

Manual autopilot disengagement is indicated by a five-second flashing red ‘AP’ annunciation and an autopilot disconnect aural alert, “Autopilot”. The autopilot is manually disengaged by pushing the AP Key on the AFCS Control Unit, the TO/GA Switch, or the AP DISC Switch (also disengages the yaw damper, if engaged).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.6 EXAMPLE FLIGHT PLAN NOTE: The following example flight plan and diagrams (not to be used for navigation) in this section are for instructional purposes only and should be considered not current. Numbered portions of accompanying diagrams correspond to numbered procedure steps. This scenario-based set of procedures (based on the example flight plan found in the Flight Management Section) shows various GFC 700 AFCS modes used during a flight.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DEPARTURE Climbing to the Selected Altitude and flying an assigned heading: 1) Before takeoff: a) Use the ALT SEL Knob to set the Selected Altitude to 12,000 feet. b) Push the TO/GA Switch to activate Takeoff Mode. The flight director Command Bars establish a pitch up attitude to follow. c) Press the AP Key to engage the autopilot in a climb, holding the pitch angle commanded in Takeoff Mode and wings level.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 4) As the aircraft nears the Selected Altitude, the flight director transitions to Selected Altitude Capture Mode, indicated by the green ‘ALTS’ annunciation flashing for up to 5 seconds. At 50 feet from the Selected Altitude, the green ‘ALT’ annunciation flashes for up to 5 seconds; the autopilot transitions to Altitude Hold Mode and levels the aircraft.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM INTERCEPTING A VOR RADIAL During climb-out, the autopilot continues to fly the aircraft in Heading Select Mode. Airway V4 to Salina VOR (SLN) should now be intercepted. Since the enroute flight plan waypoints correspond to VORs, flight director Navigation Mode using either VOR or GPS as the navigation source may be used. In this scenario, VOR Navigation Mode is used for navigation to the first VOR waypoint in the flight plan.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLYING A FLIGHT PLAN/GPS COURSE NOTE: Changing the navigation source cancels the Navigation Mode and causes the flight director to revert back to Roll Hold Mode (wings rolled level). As the aircraft closes on Salina VOR, GPS is used to navigate the next leg, airway V244. The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on Airway V4. Flying a GPS flight plan: 1) Transition from VOR to GPS Navigation Mode: a) Press the CDI Softkey until GPS is the selected navigation source.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DESCENT While flying the arrival procedure, the aircraft is cleared for descent in preparation for the approach to KCOS. Three methods are presented for descent: • Flight Level Change descent – Flight Level Change Mode can be used to descend to the Selected Altitude at a constant airspeed. This descent method does not account for flight plan waypoint altitude constraints.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Vertical Path Tracking descent to VNV Target Altitude: 1) Select VNV flight control: a) Press the VNV Key to arm Vertical Path Tracking Mode. The white annunciation ‘VPTH’ appears. b) Using the ALT SEL Knob, set the Selected Altitude below the flight plan’s VNV Target Altitude of 10,000 feet.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Non-path descent using Flight Level Change Mode: 1) Using Flight Level Change Mode, command a non-path descent to an intermediate altitude above the next VNV flight plan altitude: a) Using the ALT SEL Knob, set the Selected Altitude below the current aircraft altitude to an altitude (in this case, 9,400 feet) at which to level off between VNV flight plan altitudes. b) Press the FLC Key before the planned TOD during an altitude hold while VPTH is armed.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 5) As the aircraft nears the VNV Target Altitude, the flight director transitions to VNV Target Altitude Capture Mode, indicated by the magenta ‘ALTV’ annunciation flashing for up to 5 seconds. The magenta ‘ALT’ annunciation flashes for up to 5 seconds upon reaching 50 feet from the VNV Target Altitude; the autopilot transitions to Altitude Hold Mode and levels the aircraft at the vertical waypoint.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM APPROACH NOTE: If an approach contains a DME arc, the arc must be flown in Navigation Mode with the GFC 700. When receiving vectors from ATC, Navigation Mode must be selected prior to intercepting the ARC. Flying an ILS approach: 1) Transition from GPS Navigation Mode to Heading Select Mode. a) Select the Runway 35L ILS approach for KCOS and select ‘VECTORS’ for the transition. Load and activate the approach into the flight plan.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 3) There are two options available at this point, as the autopilot flies the ILS approach: • Push the AP DISC Switch at the decision height and land the aircraft. • Use the TO/GA Switch to execute a missed approach.

APPENDIX B DATABASE MANAGEMENT CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power interuption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system. The system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as Jeppesen navigation and ChartView database updates. Not all SD cards are compatible with the Prodigy® system.
APPENDIX B 2) Turn the system ON. A prompt similar to the following is displayed in the upper left corner of the display: Figure B-1 Standby Navigation Database Prompt 3) Press the NO Softkey to proceed to loading the active database. 4) A prompt similar to the following is displayed, press the YES Softkey to update the active navigation database. Figure B-2 Database Update Confirmation 5) After the update completes, the display starts in normal mode.
APPENDIX B If a navigation database loader card is inserted into the top SD card slot of a display, and an SD card is in the bottom slot, the system will prompt the user (upon on-ground power up) as to whether the database should be stored on the bottom SD card as the standby database. If the user responds affirmatively, the system will copy the navigation database from the top SD card to the bottom SD card.
APPENDIX B 6) As instructed on the display, press any key to continue. The display will now appear as shown in Figure B-5. Figure B-5 Navigation Database Verification Prompt 7) Press any key to continue. The display will now appear as shown in Figure B-6. Figure B-6 Active Navigation Database Prompt 8) Press the NO Softkey. The display now starts in normal mode. Since the database effective date is not yet valid, it should not be loaded as the active database. The display now starts in normal mode.
APPENDIX B GARMIN DATABASES The following databases are stored on Supplemental Data Cards provided by Garmin: • Expanded basemap • Airport terrain • SafeTaxi • Terrain • Obstacle • FliteCharts • Airport Directory (AOPA or AC-UKWIK) After subscribing to the desired database product, these database products will be downloaded and ultimately stored on three Supplemental Data Cards (with the exception of FliteCharts, which is loaded on only one card).
APPENDIX B The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. The FliteCharts database contains procedure charts for the United States only. This database is updated on a 28-day cycle.
APPENDIX B The Display Database Softkey (Figure B-11) is used to place the cursor in the Database Window. Upon first press of the Display Database Softkey, the softkey will change to a selected state (black text on gray background) and the cursor will appear in the Database Window. At this point the user can scroll through all databases in the Database Window to view status information. If the Display Database Softkey is pressed repeatedly, the softkey will cycle through PFD1, PFD2, and MFD.
APPENDIX B In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order to make the database product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system configured by a Garmin authorized service facility in order to use some database features. After the data has been copied to the appropriate data card, perform the following steps: 1) With system power OFF, remove the MFD database card from the bottom card slot of the MFD. 2) Update the Garmin databases on the MFD card.
APPENDIX B MAGNETIC FIELD VARIATION DATABASE UPDATE A copy of the current magnetic field variation database (MV DB) is included with the navigation database. At startup, the system compares this version of the MV DB with that presently being used by each AHRS (GRS1 and GRS2). If the system determines the MV DB needs to be updated, a prompt is displayed on the Navigation Map Page, as shown in Figure B-12. Note, in the following example, GRS1 is the first AHRS to indicate an update is available.
APPENDIX B 3) With ‘OK’ highlighted, press the ENT Key on the MFD. A progress monitor is displayed as shown in Figure B-15. When the upload is complete, the system is ready for use. Figure B-15 Uploading Database to GRS2 650 Embraer Prodigy® Flight Deck 100 Pilot’s Guide 190-00728-04 Rev.

APPENDIX C Vertical Figure of Merit A measure of the uncertainty in the aircraft’s vertical position. Vertical Speed Required The vertical speed necessary to descend/ climb from a current position and altitude to a defined target position and altitude, based upon current groundspeed.
APPENDIX D FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS If a particular aspect of system operational capability is not addressed by these commonly asked questions or in the index, contact Garmin (see the copyright page or back cover for contact information) or a Garmin-authorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers. What is SBAS? The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) uses a system of ground stations to correct any GPS signal errors.
APPENDIX D For RAIM to work correctly, the GPS receiver must track at least five satellites. A minimum of six satellites is required to allow RAIM to eliminate a single corrupt satellite from the navigation solution. RAIM ensures that satellite geometry allows for a navigation solution calculation within a specified protection limit (2.0 nm for oceanic and en route, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches).
APPENDIX D Normal (OBS not activated) • Automatic sequencing of waypoints OBS • Manual sequencing - ‘holds’ on selected waypoint • Manual course change on HSI not possible • Manually select course to waypoint from HSI • Always navigates ‘TO’ the active waypoint • Indicates ‘TO’ or ‘FROM’ waypoint • Must be in this mode for final approach course • Cannot be set for final approach course or published holding patterns When OBS mode is active, the system allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from
APPENDIX D When does the CDI scale change? Once a departure is activated, the Prodigy® Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) full scale deflection is set to 0.3 nm. The CDI scale changes to 1.0 nm (terminal mode) then ramps up to 2.0 nm (enroute mode) at 30 nm from the departure airport. When 31 nm from the destination, the CDI scale smoothly transition from 2.0 nm back to 1.0 nm (terminal mode). At 2.
APPENDIX E GENERAL TIS INFORMATION INTRODUCTION NOTE: Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to TIS. The Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides traffic advisory information to non-TAS/TCAS-equipped aircraft. TIS is a ground-based service providing the relative locations of all ATCRBS Mode-A and Mode-C transponder equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real-time track reports to generate traffic notification.
APPENDIX E WARNING: Garmin is not responsible for Mode S geographical coverage. Operation of the ground stations is the responsibility of the FAA. Refer to the AIM for a Terminal Mode S radar site map. NOTE: TIS is unavailable at low altitudes in many areas of the United States. This is often the case in mountainous regions. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep.
