1.1.1 Standard System Line Replaceable Units (LRU)
This guide covers the operation of the GDU 620 display as integrated in the
G500/600 system. The G500/600 Avionics Display System is an avionics suite
designed to replace the traditional flight instrument cluster. The system combines
primary flight instrumentation, navigational information, and a moving map all
displayed on dual color screens. The G500/600 system is composed of sub-
units or Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). LRUs have a modular design and can
be installed directly behind the instrument panel or in a separate avionics bay
if desired. This design greatly eases troubleshooting and maintenance of the
G500/600 system. A failure or problem can be isolated to a particular LRU,
which can be replaced quickly and easily. Each LRU has a particular function, or
set of functions, that contributes to the system’s operation.
