Section 1. OPERATING LIMITATIONS 1.1 Types of Operation Rotorcraft equipped with the G500H Avionics Display System are limited to VFR ONLY operations in accordance with 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 and Part 135. 1.2 Cockpit Reference & Pilot’s Guides Garmin G500H Cockpit Reference Guide P/N 190-01150-03, Revision A or later appropriate revision must be immediately available to the flight crew. 1.
Coverage of the obstacle database includes the United States and Europe. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. The Garmin SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following air traffic control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle.
1.9 Course Pointer Auto Slewing The G500H HSI will auto slew, i.e. automatically rotate the GPS course pointer to the desired course defined by each GPS leg. The system will also auto slew the VHF NAV course pointer when the CDI transitions to a LOC setting if an ILS, LOC, LOC BC, LDA, or SDF approach is activated in the GPS/WAAS navigator.
CAUTION – Some TAS traffic systems may not automatically transition to OPERATE mode upon becoming airborne or in the event of a power interruption while in the air may power on in STANDBY mode. The pilot must be aware of the operating status of the TAS traffic system by referring to the traffic icon on the map pages or the status annunciator on the traffic page. If the traffic system is in STANDBY mode use the traffic page softkeys to change to the OPERATE mode. 1.
Section 2. OPERATING PROCEDURES Refer to the Garmin G500H PFD/MFD System Cockpit Reference Guide P/N 190-01150-03 or G500H Pilot’s Guide P/N 190-01150-02, for detailed operating procedures. This includes all Primary Flight Display and Multi-Function Display information. Although intuitive and user friendly, the G500H PFD/MFD System requires a reasonable degree of familiarity to avoid becoming too engrossed at the expense of situational awareness.
2.1.2 MFD Knobs & MFD Soft Keys The MFD controls are adjacent to and beneath the MFD display. The rotary knobs are used to scroll through various pages/page groups of the MFD. Pressing the knob will activate a cursor and allow for the user to enter data and manipulate settings. Soft keys at the bottom of the display allow for the rapid selection of pre-defined functions to be performed on each page. The soft keys operate by press and release.
2.2.3 AHRS Failure A failure of the Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) is indicated by a removal of the sky/ground presentation, a red X over the attitude indicator, and a yellow “AHRS FAILURE” shown on the PFD. A heading failure will also be indicated. 1. Use visual references for aircraft control 2. Set course datum using CRS selection of the PFD knob The Attitude, Heading and Reference System (AHRS) requires at least one GPS or air data input to function properly.
If GPS position information from the GPS WAAS navigator is not valid, the own-ship icon on the MFD is removed and “NO GPS POSITION” text is overlaid on the MFD moving map. The system will annunciate a loss of integrity, “LOI” on the HSI. The LOI annunciation will be colored yellow and the HSI needle will flag. The pilot should select an alternate navigation source (via CDI key or 1-2 key). Pressing the CDI soft key will change the HSI navigation source.
NOTE The G500H Cockpit Reference Guide and the G500H Pilot’s Guide contain detailed descriptions of the annunciator system and all warnings, cautions and advisories. Annunciation Pilot Action Cause Use visual references Display system is not receiving attitude reference information from the AHRS; accompanied by the removal of sky/ground presentation and a red X over the attitude area.
Annunciation Pilot Action Cause AHRS Aligning – Keep Wings Level Limit rotorcraft bank to less than 10 degrees as AHRS Aligns Attitude and Heading Reference System is aligning. Keep attitude level using outside references. AHRS will not align if bank angle remains over 10 degrees. NO GPS POSITION If the system is configured with dual GPS, press the 1-2 button GPS data on the selected system is no longer valid. The Moving Map and associated data are not updating.
GENERAL INFORMATION Garmin G500H Flight Display System The G500H Flight Display System consists of a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi-Function Display (MFD) housed in a single Garmin Display Unit (GDU 620), an Air Data Computer (GDC 74H ADC) and Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (GRS 77H AHRS). The G500H interfaces with a Garmin GNS 400W, 500W, or 480 series GPS/WAAS navigator and an audio panel.
The major components of the G500H are circuit breaker protected with resetable type circuit breaker available to the pilot.
Helicopter Synthetic Vision Technology (Optional) HSVT uses an internal terrain database and GPS location to present the pilot with a synthetic view of the terrain and obstacles in front of the aircraft. The purpose of the SVT system is to assist the pilot in maintaining situational awareness with regard to the terrain and traffic surrounding the aircraft. A typical HSVT display is shown below: Figure 5 - Typical HSVT Display 190-01150-13 Rev.
HSVT provides additional features on the G500H primary flight display (PFD) which include the following information: Synthetic Terrain; an artificial, database derived, three dimensional view of the terrain ahead of the aircraft within a field of view of approximately 25 degrees left and 25 degrees right of the aircraft heading. Obstacles; obstacles such as towers, including buildings that are within the depicted synthetic terrain field of view.
Interfaced Equipment The G500H Flight Display System is approved to interface with other avionics systems including: TIS Traffic TAS Traffic GDL 69 XM Data link Video GSR 56 Iridium Data link Radar Altimeter GTN 6XX or 7XX Series Navigator GNS 400W or 500W Series Navigator Traffic Display and Control (Optional) The G500H Avionics Display System can display traffic from various sources including TIS data from the Garmin GTX Series Mode-S Transponders or TAS data from various active traffic awareness systems.
The G500H requires an approved navigator such as a GNS 400W or 500W series navigator. The G500H can display annunciations received from the GNSs. Database Cards The G500H utilizes several databases. Database titles display in yellow if expired or in question (Note: the G500H receives the calendar date from the GPS, but only after acquiring a position fix.). Database cycle information is displayed at power up on the MFD screen, but more detailed information is available on the AUX pages.
