Cover GDU 620 The GDU 620 has dual VGA (640 x 480 pixels) 6.5 inch LCD displays. The left side of the GDU is a PFD and the right side is the MFD. In some models or installations, the PFD and MFD and their controls are switched to the other side. The MFD shows a moving map, flight plan, weather, and other supplemental data. The PFD shows primary flight information, in place of traditional pitotstatic and gyroscopic systems and also provides an HSI for navigation.

TOC 1.1.1.2 Cover GDC 74A/74B Foreword Sec 1 System The GDC 74A/74B Air Data Computer (ADC) compiles information from the pitot/static system and an Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor. The GDC 74A/74B provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G500/600 system. The GDC 74A/74B communicates with the GDU 620 and GRS 77 using an ARINC 429 digital interface.

Cover 1.1.1.4 NOTE: During in-flight alignment of the AHRS, minimize aircraft maneuvering. The AHRS will align with shallow banking and pitch angles (less than 20 degrees of roll or 5 degrees of pitch). AHRS alignment may not be possible during more aggressive maneuvers. GMU 44 The GMU 44 magnetometer senses the earth’s magnetic field. Data is sent to the GRS 77 AHRS for processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading.

PAGE 242
TOC 4.9.1.1 Principles of Pulsed Airborne Weather Radar The term RADAR is an acronym for RAdio Detecting and Ranging. Pulsed radar locates targets by transmitting a microwave pulse beam that, upon encountering a target, is then reflected back to the radar receiver as a return “echo.” The microwave pulses are focused and radiated by the antenna, with the most intense energy in the center of the beam and decreasing intensity near the edge. The same antenna is used for both transmitting and receiving.
PAGE 243
TOC Cover Foreword Sec 1 System 4.9.1.2 Antenna Beam Illumination It is important to understand the concept of the antenna beam illumination. The radar beam is much like the beam of a spotlight. The farther the beam travels, the wider it gets. The radar is only capable of “seeing” what is inside the boundaries of the beam. Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Figure 4-67 Radar Beam from 12 inch Antenna Sec 5 Additional Features Sec 6 Annun.
PAGE 244
Cover Radar Signal Attenuation The phenomena of weather attenuation needs to be kept in mind whenever operating the 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 amount of radar energy at a distance from the antenna is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
PAGE 245
TOC 4.9.2 Cover Radar Signal Reflectivity Sec 1 System Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Sec 4 Hazard Avoidance Precipitation or objects more dense than water, such as earth or solid structures, will be detected by the weather radar. The weather radar will not detect clouds, thunderstorms or turbulence directly. It detects precipitation associated with clouds, thunderstorms, and turbulence. The best radar signal reflectors are raindrops, wet snow or wet hail. The larger the raindrop the better it reflects.
PAGE 246
Cover 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 gain too much causes the display to fill in between targets, thus obscuring some landmarks. Cities normally provide a strong return signal.
