Flight Path Marker
The green flight path marker (FPM) or velocity vector shows where the aircraft is
actually moving. Think of it as a visual representation of GPS Track. The green
target will only be centered under steady state flight conditions with no wind.
Usually the target will be moving around the display showing where the airplane
is going, not where the nose is pointed. If you have a strong cross wind from the
left you will see the FPM move to the right. If you keep the FPM on the horizon
line you will maintain level flight, even during steep turns. The FPM requires a
valid GPS signal be present and Synthetic Vision enabled. The FPM will be red
if there is no GPS signal or there is not enough room on the screen to show the FPM deviation.
EFIS Bugs (Airspeed, Altitude, Minimum Alt, Heading)
Altitude Bug
The Altitude Bug can be turned on and off from the [EFIS] -> [NAVIGATION] -> [BUGS] -> [ALT]
menu. If the Altitude Bug is on and the text over the knob is <-ALT-> the knob will set the desired
altitude bug location. If the text is not <-ALT-> you should press the knob button until it appears.
Holding the knob down for two seconds will sync the altitude bug to the current altitude. The box on
the top of the altitude tape shows the current bug location and will have a black background when
selected.
Altitude Alerting
The Altitude Alerting function provides visual and voice “ALTITUDE” alerts when approaching the Altitude Bug.
 Upon passing through 100 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Altitude Bug changes from White to Yellow
 When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Altitude Bug changes from Yellow to
Cyan, and the voice alert “ALTITUDE” is generated.
 After reaching the Selected Altitude the pilot flies outside of the deviation band (±200 feet of the Altitude
Bug), the Altitude Bug changes from Cyan to Yellow, and the voice alert “ALTITUDE” is generated.
Altitude > 1000’ of Bug 1000’ > Altitude > 200’ of Bug Altitude < 200’ of Bug
Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height Bug
A barometric Minimum Descent Altitude Bug (MDA, or Decision Height, DH) is displayed whenever the
altitude bug is turned on. If the MDA Bug is on and the text over the knob is <-MIN ALT-> the knob will set
the desired MDA bug location. If the text is not <-MIN ALT-> you should press the knob button until it appears.
Holding the knob down for two seconds will sync the bug to the current altitude. The second box on the top of the
altitude tape shows the current bug location and will have a black background when selected.
MDA/DH Alerting
The MDA Alerting function provides visual and voice “MINIMUMS” alerts when approaching the Bug.
