WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES Warnings, Cautions, & Notes WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES upon the use of the terrain function. The G500H Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G500H Multi-Function Display is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the G500H within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° West and 120° West. An area North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° West and 128° West. An area of North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° East and 114° East.

PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Introduction PFD/MFD NOTE: Some G500Hs have the right-side display configured as the PFD. 190-01150-03 Rev E G500H Cockpit Reference Guide 1 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY This reference guide covers the operation of the GDU 620 as integrated in the G500H Avionics Display System. The G500H Avionics Display System is an avionics suite that combines primary flight instrumentation, navigational information, and a moving map all displayed on dual 6.5 inch color screens.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Primary Flight Display (PFD) 1 19 2 18 20 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY 17 3 16 4 15 14 12 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 Primary Flight Display (PFD) 2 1 NAV Status Bar: Displays which GPS is selected as the Active Source, Active Waypoint (WPT), Distance to Waypoint (DIS), Desired Track (DTK) and Current Track (TRK).
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Attitude Sync Soft Key: Allows the synchronization of the aircraft to the horizon in level flight. 6 Heading Select Key: Press HDG and turn PFD knob to set heading bug. 7 Course Select Key: Press CRS and turn PFD knob to set the course of the selected source (VOR1, VOR2, GPS1, or GPS2). 8 Altitude Select Key: Press ALT and turn PFD knob to set altimeter bug. 9 V/S (Vertical Speed) Select Key: Press V/S and turn PFD knob to set V/S bug.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Airspeed Tape The upper left portion of the PFD display provides Groundspeed, Airspeed Trend, Current Airspeed, and True Airspeed information. Current Airspeed is normally shown in white on the black pointer. The Trend Indicator (magenta line) indicates what the airspeed will be in six seconds, if the current acceleration is maintained. If the current acceleration will cause the airspeed to exceed VNE in six seconds, the airspeed is displayed in yellow.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Altitude Tape The upper right portion of the PFD displays the Altitude Bug setting, Current Altitude, Altitude Trend, Altitude Minimums Bug, and the current BARO Setting. The Altitude Trend indicates what the altitude will be in six seconds if the current vertical speed is maintained.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Minimums Bug (Barometric or Radar Altimeter) For altitude awareness, an Altitude Minimums Bug commonly referred to as the Minimums Bug, can be set. the source of data for minimums alerting can be selected to either barometric altitude or radar altitude (if installed.) When active and within 2500 feet of the selected minimums altitude, the minimums bug setting is displayed to the bottom left of the altimeter.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) To set the altitude for the Minimums Bug: 1) While viewing the Active Flight Plan page of the FPL Group, press the small MFD knob to activate the cursor. 2) Turn the large MFD knob to the ALTITUDE portion of the MINIMUMS section. 3) Turn the small MFD knob to enter the desired altitude. Press the ENT key to confirm selection. 4) When finished, press the small MFD knob to exit the MINIMUMS box. The Minimums Bug can also be set from the Charts page of the FPL.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Altitude Bug The Altitude Bug is displayed on the Altitude Tape at the selected altitude bug setting. A portion of the Altitude Bug will be displayed at the top or bottom of the altitude tape if the selected altitude bug is off of the tape. Altitude Bug Setting PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Altitude Bug Altitude Bug The Altitude Bug provides visual and aural altitude alerting.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Wind Vectors The PFD will display a Wind Vector Field to the left of the HSI when configured by the user. There are four different styles of wind vector displays available. Refer to the System Setup page in the AUX Group section of this guide for instructions on selecting wind vector style. Wind Vectors can only be calculated when the aircraft is in the air. When airspeed is less than 20 knots, the Wind Vector windows will indicate, “No Wind Data”.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) The Vertical Deviation Indicator is displayed for GPS and ILS approaches with vertical guidance. The GPS approach glidepath is shown in magenta (G and indicator), while the ILS approach glideslope is shown in green (G and indicator.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Attitude Indicator Ground/Sky Pointer mode is configured during installation and can not be changed by the pilot. In an aircraft with an Attitude Indicator that has a Ground Pointer, the pointer above the roll scale shifts with the roll or bank angle of the aircraft to keep the Roll Scale Zero Pointer pointing towards the ground.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) The Trim Ball Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer. The indicator moves with the roll pointer and moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral acceleration. Trim is indicated by the location of the bar relative to the pointer. One bar displacement as shown below is equivalent to one ball displacement on a traditional Trim Ball Indicator.
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) Adjusting the Course Pointer Press the CRS key and turn the PFD knob to select a course for a VOR/ILS or OBS mode course. HSI Bearing Pointers NOTE: The Bearing Pointer for navigation source 1 (BRG1) will be an arrow with a single line.
