4.6.8 Flight Director Display
If autopilot flight director commands are interfaced to the G500/G600, they will
be presented as a single cue flight director on the PFD. Control of the flight
director is accomplished via the autopilot/flight director controller; there are no
pilot controls or adjustments for the flight director on the G500/G600.
The G500/G600 system limits the distance the flight director pitch commands
may deviate from the aircraft attitude icon. In the event that the pitch command
provided by the autopilot flight director is greater than the distance allowed by
the G500/G600, the command bars will be displayed at the maximum distance
allowed by the G500/G600. As the aircraft pitch changes to satisfy the
command bars, the bars will continue to be displayed at the maximum distance
from the aircraft attitude icon until the aircraft pitch deviation is within the
command display limit. In both examples below, the flight director is
commanding approximately 7 degrees pitch up. With SVT turned off, the 7
degree pitch up command is displayed with the command bar at 7 degrees pitch
up. With SVT turned on, the G500/G600 limits the command bar shown as 4.5
degrees pitch up, which is the maximum deviation that can be displayed. The
G500/G600 system will hold the command bars at the same distance from the
aircraft icon until the aircraft pitch attitude is within 4.5 degrees of the
command.
