8.
9. Compiles information from the pitot static system and outside air
temperature (OAT) sensor

10. Basically a solid-state gyro. Uses tilt sensors, accelerometers and rate
sensors
Contains an IGRF which must be updated every five years
Interfaces with GDC 74A and GMU 44
11. Senses Earth’s magnetic field
Interfaces directly to GRS 77 for determining accurate magnetic heading
12. Mode S capability
Interfaces with Traffic feature
Standard Garmin features
Auto ALT mode when groundspeed is greater than 30kts and auto
GND mode when less than 30kts
Solid state electronics require no warm-up time
14. GNS 480, CNX 80, GNS 400W series or GNS 500W series
Used as the “navigator”
Crossfills into G500
Contains GPS receiver
15. Menu button and soft keys – Context sensitive depending on page selected
System settings on MFD can be selected specifically for each user
Auto or manual backlighting
Dual GDU 620 installation
Shares information by crossfilling – baro and CDI can be selected to
synchronize manually
24. Able to access different functions depending on the context of the display
Many shortcuts are available through soft keys – should be incorporated in
your scan
25. Both PFD and MFD power on with a red ‘X’ on various items until the
AHRS has aligned and air data is available
The AHRS will align during taxi and level flight
Various annunciations will illuminate during startup
Should disappear after 30 seconds
Databases should be checked on MFD splash screen
27. Measured by the Air Data Computer
Airspeed indicated by moving tape
Also boxes for IAS, TAS and GS
Six second trend vector
IAS box turns red if VNE is imminent in 6 seconds
28. Airspeed and Altimeter tapes translucent to allow full view of horizon
Shows pitch warnings using red chevrons when attitude is 50º above or 30º below
horizon
Extreme attitude - PFD declutters
Contains slip-skid indicator
29. Measured by the air data computer
Altimeter settings must be entered in 2 places
Altitude bug displayed on left side of tape
Gives visual and audible advisories
Also contains trend vector
30. Measured by the air data computer
The scale of the VSI will dictate the range of the ASI
Vertical Speed bug can be set on the left side of the VSI tape
The vertical speed value located at the bottom of the tape
31. Includes a turn rate indicator, heading indicator, course pointer
and CDI
Trend vector serves as the rate indicator
Able to show magnetic or true headings

41. Used only for situational awareness – no advisory
Will only be available if the GTX 330 installed
Uses mode S
Traffic can be overlaid on navigation map pages
42. TAS unit must be installed to use this feature
Should only be used for situational awareness – Will provide advisories but
no resolution
Uses mode S transponder to actively scan for other transponders
Traffic can be overlaid on navigation map pages
43. Terrain feature should only be used for situational awareness
NOT a radar – uses databases to predict terrain and potential impact
points
44.
45. Requires GDL 69A receiver
XM weather is a satellite uplink
Not a short range navigation tool
Refreshes a certain intervals so information becomes expired quickly
Requires a subscription and activation
46. GWX 68
Provides weather and ground mapped radar
Probably not used in the DA20 but the G500 is also certified for Class 2
airplanes (Light twins 6000lbs and less)
