CRS Datum drives the autopilot in the opposing direction. Some HSIs
use reversed logic for CRS and HDG Datum. Verify through ground test
the proper setting (see section 10.6.9).
FD ROLL OFFSET ADJ: Flight Director Roll Offset is used to align the PFD Command
Bars to the Command Bars on the mechanical FD instrument in the roll axis. Positive
number increases roll in RIGHT (clockwise) direction. Negative number increases roll in
LEFT (counterclockwise) direction.
FD PITCH OFFSET ADJ: Flight Director Pitch Offset is used to align the PFD Command
Bars to the Command Bars on the mechanical FD instrument in the pitch axis. Positive
number increases pitch in UP direction. Negative number increases pitch in DOWN
direction.
Since the command bars are not visible in the Installation Menu you will need to make
note of how many degrees the bars must move to be aligned. Next enter the noted
offset value, then exit the menu and check command bars for alignment, then enter
Installation Menu again if necessary to make any further adjustment.

10.5 RSM Calibration
10.5.1 Calibration Overview
The Remote Sensor Module must be calibrated by performing a compass swing in the
aircraft for any new installations and any follow up maintenance activities that could
affect RSM accuracy.
Such activities might include but are not limited to the replacement of the RSM,
replacement of the Configuration Module, installation of a mechanical or electrical
device in the vicinity to the RSM, installation of an appliance that might generate a
magnetic interference.
An overview of the RSM Calibration procedure is as follows (see Figure 10.24):
The aircraft will be taxied to a magnetically quiet area at least 200ft from metal
buildings and clear of metal grates, manhole covers and rebar within the
concrete. A Compass Rose is ideal for this procedure.
The aircraft can start from any heading.
With engines running, all electrical equipment operating, and the aircraft
stationary the RSM CAL page will be entered and Start Calibration will be
initiated (see Figure 10.25).
After a 10 second count down timer the pilot/operator will begin to taxi the
aircraft in a circle (cw or ccw) with the radius of approximately twice the length
of the aircrafts wing as viewed from the cockpit ( 30ft).
The aircraft will be taxied under its own power at a constant rate around a
circle until a 60 second timer elapses. The aircraft must not stop until the timer
has exhausted.
At the completion of the 60 seconds the aircraft will have made at least a 450
circle (360 + 90) to no more than two complete circles (720).
At the end of the 60 second timer four headings about 90 apart will be
checked against a calibrated heading source (i.e., site compass, compass rose).
If PFD heading is acceptable then the calibration is Accepted.
If the PFD heading is not within tolerance then it is Rejected and the calibration
procedure is re-run.
After the calibration is accepted headings are checked using a calibrated
reference (i.e., a sight compass) every 45 (starting from North) to verify that
the heading accuracy is within 4.
The RSM calibration routine is accomplished using the Installation Menu RSM
CALIBRATION menu page. See Section 10.4.5 (Installation Menu Access) for
instructions on entering the INSTALLATION MENU.

When the menu of Figure 10.27 is displayed immediately begin taxing the aircraft
clockwise or counter-clockwise at a constant rate of no faster than 1 turn every 30
seconds. About half normal taxi speed or a brisk walking speed is about right.
Approximately 10 seconds after initial movement (see POSITION A) the aircraft should
be taxiing at a constant rate (CR) throughout the rest of the procedure. When the
countdown timer is reached between one and a quarter turns (450) (POSITION B) and
two turns (720) (POSITION D) should have been completed. While turning the aircraft
do not stop the aircraft until the end of the 60 second timer and Figure 10.28 appears.
If you find that the timing of the turns was not right such that Magnetometer
Calibration Complete message occurs between B & D of Figure 10.24, then REJECT the
results and re-run the procedure.

10.5.4 Heading Accuracy Test
As a final check, position the aircraft on the headings shown on Installation Final Check
Sheet of Appendix B and verify heading is within +/- 4 degrees using a calibrated
heading source (i.e., site compass, compass rose). Record actual PFD headings in table
for inclusion in aircraft maintenance records.
If any heading is outside 4 then rerun the Calibration Procedure and or Heading Offset
adjustment.
10.5.5 Heading Interference Test
With aircraft engine(s) running monitor current aircraft heading on PFD and exercise flight
controls stop to stop including flaps and any electric trim tabs. Verify the heading does
not change on the PFD by more than 2. If movement of flight controls causes more than
a 2 heading change then it may be necessary to degauss the flight controls including the
cables. A handheld degausser can be found at most audio and video stores.
Operate all electrical and environmental equipment including:
Blowers, fans, heaters, air conditioner
Deice boots, fuel pump(s), backup vacuum pumps
Landing, logo, NAV lighting
Operate pulse equipment transponder, WX radar, DME
Key all VHF communication radios.
Operate autopilot so that all servos run (roll, pitch, yaw, trim)
If the operation of any electrical system causes the heading to change by more than 2 the
RSM wiring may need to be relocated away from the offending system. The offending
system may also have a bonding issue to the airframe that needs to be corrected.
Run engine(s) from idle to take off power and verify that the heading does not change by
more than 2.
This completes all RSM calibration and tests.

WARNING: Remember to disconnect the Autopilot immediately if it is
not performing its intended function.
With wings level and the HDG Bug centered under the lubber line, deselect GPSS and
engage the autopilot in HDG Mode and ALT Hold Mode (if available). Verify that the
aircraft makes no abrupt turns during engagement and the aircraft continues to track
straight.
Now turn the HDG Bug 10 degrees to the right and verify the aircraft smoothly
turns to the right with a bank angle not exceeding 10 degrees. If 10 degrees was
acceptable in performance then proceed by turning the HDG Bug 90 degrees to
the right and verify the aircraft makes a standard rate turn and smoothly rolls out
on to the correct Heading.
Now repeat the test to the left.
With VLOC1 selected (VOR1 source indication) and a VOR Station tuned. Adjust the
CRS pointer to center the CDI. Engage the autopilot in NAV Mode and verify the
aircraft tracks to the VOR.
Repeat with NAV2, if installed.
Enter a valid flight plan or Direct To on the GPS. Couple the GPS to the HSI.
Engage the autopilot in NAV Mode, verify the autopilot tracks the GPS. (Note: GPSS
is disabled for this test, this test is verifying the GPS deviations to the autopilot)
Repeat with GPS2, if installed.
For GPS receivers using ARINC 429 interfaces, enable GPSS and engage the
autopilot in HDG Mode. Verify the autopilot tracks the GPS flight plan. Place the
GPS into OBS (HOLD) Mode (some GPS installations may require manual disabling
of AUTOCRS). Use the CRS Pointer on the HSI to steer the autopilot via the GPS.
With the HDG Bug centered, press the GPSS button again and verify the HDG Bug
controls the autopilot as before.
Perform an ILS approach using VLOC1 (ILS1 source indication). Verify that the
autopilot tracks the localizer, then captures and tracks the glideslope if installed.

12 Operation
The operation section contains all of the features of the PRO model with all available sensor
options configured. Should your installation not include a particular sensor (i.e., NAV2,
autopilot) then that system feature will be not available. Likewise if you have the PILOT model
which does not have navigational and autopilot interfaces the operational features associated
with those sensors will be not available. The PILOT model is similar to the PRO minus the
following features:
HSI has slaved DG with pilot settable HDG Bug
Dual Bearing Pointers
Lateral and Vertical Deviation Indicators
MINIMUMS
Basemap naviads, curved flight plan legs
GPS and VLOC navigation interfaces
Autopilot interface GPSS, HDG BUG and CRS Pointer
12.1 Pilot Controls
12.1.1 Overview
Pilot interaction with the EFD1000 is accomplished through two knobs with
push/rotate function and 11 buttons located on the display bezel. Refer to
Figure 12.1.
Two control knobs are used to control pilot settable bugs and references.
Three lower push buttons, located between the control knobs, are used to select
navigation sources for the bearing pointers and the HSI.
Three dedicated buttons on the upper side of the right bezel control map range,
display reversion, and provide access the main menu.
Five soft keys on the lower half of the right bezel control frequently used commands,
such as the HSI mode or map de-clutter setting. These five keys are also used when
navigating the main menu.
EFD1000 Installation Manual
DOCUMENT # A-01-126-00 PAGE 150-202 Revision C
Copyright 2008 Aspen Avionics Inc.
12.1.2 Power Control
To enhance safety, the EFD1000 includes an internal battery that allows the system to
continue to operate in the event of a failure of the aircraft electrical system. This
ensures that in addition to the standby instruments, the EFD1000 primary flight
instrument continues to remain available for a period of time following the loss of all
external supply power.
This internal battery is not required by regulation; however, it is good practice to verify
that the charge state of the battery prior to takeoff.
The typical EFD1000 installation receives aircraft power from the battery bus via a
dedicated circuit breaker and optional EFIS Master Switch.
Whenever indicated airspeed is invalid or below 30 KIAS the EFD1000 will power up
and power down with the application or removal of external power. A message is
presented during the normal power down sequence to enable the pilot to abort the
shutdown and switch to internal battery.
When IAS is greater than 30 KIAS and the input voltage drops below 12.8V (14V
Electrical System) or 25.6V (28V Electrical System) the EFD will automatically switch to
its internal battery (e.g. aircraft charging system failure).
The EFD1000 internal battery will provide at least 30 minutes of power when it is fully
charged. The battery provides power to the display head, RSM and emergency GPS.
Reducing the backlight intensity will extend the battery operating time.
When operating from battery, a red ON BAT annunciation and battery charge status
indication is presented in the lower portion of the Attitude Indicator.
A unit operating from battery may be powered off using the Shut Down command
available in the Power Settings Menu.
In the unlikely event that the normal power control is not working, the EFD may be
forced to shut down by first pulling its associated circuit breaker and then pressing
and holding the REV button for at least 5 seconds.
Battery charge status may be viewed from the Power Settings page of the Main Menu.

12.1.4 Control Knobs
General
Two control knobs on the EFD bezel are used to adjust pilot editable data fields. The left
knob adjusts data fields on the left side of the display, and the right knob adjusts data
fields on the right side of the display.
The knob logic includes active and inactive states to prevent inadvertent adjustment of
editable fields. After 10 seconds of inactivity, the knob returns to an inactive home
state. A single push activates an inactive knob. Pushing the knob again will advance the
knob to the next editable field in a round-robin sequence.
When inactive, the knob legend is rendered in Cyan. Once activated, the knob legend
and associated data field and bug (where appropriate) are rendered in magenta.
Left control knob
The left control knob adjusts the CDI Course Set CRS and Indicated Airspeed Bug IAS
editable fields. To adjust these values PUSH the knob in a round robin fashion until the
desired field text turns magenta, then ROTATE the knob to set the value (clockwise to
increase, counterclockwise to decrease).
The home state for the left knob is CRS.
Right control knob
The right control knob controls Heading Bug HDG, Altitude Bug ALT, Barometric
Pressure Setting BARO, and Minimums setting MIN editable fields in that order. To
adjust these values PUSH the knob in a round robin fashion until the desired field text
turns magenta, then ROTATE the knob to set the value (clockwise to increase,
counterclockwise to decrease).
The home state for the right knob is HDG.
To adjust the MIN field, the field must first be enabled using the MINs hot key.
12.2 Setting Flight Instruments
The following procedures are used to adjust pilot editable data on the EFD1000:
Heading Bug Set
To set the heading bug, repeatedly PUSH the right control knob until the HDG field is
enabled for editing. ROTATE the knob to the desired setting.
EFD1000 Installation Manual

Copyright 2008 Aspen Avionics Inc.
Altitude Bug Set
To set the altitude bug, repeatedly PUSH the right control knob until the ALT field is
enabled for editing. ROTATE the knob to the desired setting.
Barometric Pressure Set
To set the barometric pressure, repeatedly PUSH the right control knob until the BARO
field is enabled for editing. ROTATE the knob to the desired setting.
Minimums Set
To set the MINIMUMS alert, repeatedly PUSH the right control knob until the MIN field is
enabled for editing. ROTATE the knob to the desired setting.
The minimums field must first be enabled via the Hot Keys before it may be adjusted.
CDI Course Set
To select the CDI value, repeatedly PUSH the left control knob until the CRS field is
enabled for editing. ROTATE the knob to the desired value. When the CDI navigation
source is selected to a GPS and AUTOCRS is enabled the course is automatically set by
the GPS and is not pilot adjustable.
Indicated Airspeed Bug Set
To set the indicated airspeed bug, repeatedly PUSH the left control knob until the IAS
field is enabled for editing. ROTATE the knob to the desired setting.
12.3 Knob Sync Function
Editable fields may be synchronized as a function of data type as described in Table 12.1 below.
Whenever a control knob is held for approximately one second the active data type will be
syncd as follows:
Left Knob
Data Type
SYNC Behavior Right Knob
Data Type
SYNC Behavior
IAS The airspeed bug is set to the
current IAS.
HDG The heading bug is set to
the current heading.
VOR CRS The CRS is set to the bearing to
the tuned VOR Station (this will
result in the deviation bar
centering with a TO indication).
ALT The altimeter bug is set to
the current altitude.
ILS CRS The CRS is set to the current
aircraft heading.
BARO The barometric pressure is

12.5 CDI and Bearing Pointer Source Selection
Overview
The pilot may couple navigation data from external GPS or VOR/Localizer (VLOC) radio
system to the HSI and bearing pointers. Navigation source selection is controlled by the
three buttons located between the control knobs.
The center button is used to control the source coupled to the Course Deviation
Indicator on the HSI.
The left button controls the source coupled to the single-needle bearing pointer.
The right button controls the source coupled to the double-needle bearing pointer.

Nav Source Selection
To couple a navigation source to a bearing pointer or the CDI press the associated
button to sequence between the available sources in a round-robin sequence. Available
sources are VLOC1, GPS1, VLOC2 and GPS2.
For integrated GPS/VHF radios, such as the Garmin GNS4xx/5xx, control of the data type
(i.e. GPS or VLOC) coupled to HSI course deviation indicator (but not for bearing pointers)
is controlled by the radio. When coupled to a radio of this type, the EFD1000 will not
toggle the operating state of the radio, but will annunciate the radios current operating
state in the CDI Nav Source display field. If the integrated radio is not reporting its
current state to the EFD1000, such as when the equipment is OFF, failed, or a GPS
waypoint has not been programmed, the EFD1000 will default to the VLOC mode.
Refer to the operating instructions or Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement for the
associated GPS or VLOC radio system for instructions on how to operate that equipment.

Nav Source Display
The name of the currently coupled CDI or bearing pointer navigation source will be
displayed directly above the associated button. When the coupled source data is invalid
or not available, the legend is slashed with a red line.
12.6 Back Light Control
The PFD includes an adjustable LCD backlight that provides both automatic and manual
brightness adjustments over a wide dimmable range. A single bezel-mounted photocell
measures the ambient light, allowing an automatic dimming mode to be selected by the pilot.
Manual dimming control is enabled by the pilot to override the photocell input and adjust the
display to any desired intensity level (except off).
In either mode, the bezel-key backlighting is maintained at a fixed brightness level.
To adjust backlight intensity, press the MENU button and then press the left control knob to
toggle between auto (BRT AUTO) and manual brightness (BRT ADJUST) control.
To manually adjust the brightness, with BRT ADJUST displayed above the left knob rotate the
knob until the desired brightness level is set.
On power up, the display defaults to AUTO brightness control.
When operating on the internal battery, backlight intensity setting is capped at a value of 70 for
both manual and automatic operation.
Under extreme temperature conditions, such as may be encountered during ground operations
on extremely hot days, the system backlight will automatically dim to an intensity of 30
whenever internal sensors determine that the system operating temperature has exceeded
65C. Should this occur the pilot should take steps to reduce the cockpit ambient temperature.

and 200 nautical miles. Map range is measured from the own ship position to the outside of
the compass arc.
To increase the range push the + side of the range key located on the upper right side of the
bezel. To decrease the range push the side of the key. The currently selected map range is
displayed in the lower left corner of the display.
12.8 Display Reversion Control and Abnormal Shutdown
Single PFD installations do not have any display reversion capability that can be activated by
the REV button. As such, the reversion function is inoperative in single display installations.
In addition to display reversion control, the REV button may be used to force the unit to power
off should, for example, the display stop responding to pilot inputs. When external power has
been removed, pressing and holding the REV button for 5 Seconds will produce in an
immediate system shut down. When external power is available, pressing and holding the REV
button for 5 seconds will result in a system restart.
While the button is pressed, the following annunciation is provided adjacent to the button

12.11 Autopilot Integration
General
The EFD1000 can connect with many differnet legacy autopilot systems that are typically
found in general aviation aircraft. The EFD1000 emulates the HSI and/or Flight Director
(FD) indicator with which the autopilot was originally certified. Autopilot integration is
limited to heading bug and navigation integration, including vertical approach modes.
When connected to an autopilot system that includes Nav or Approach couplers, the EFD
also acts as a navigation source switch to the autopilot. This assures that the navigation
information presented on the PFD is the same as that being provided to the autopilot.
This arrangement also eliminates the need for any external autopilot navigation source
switch selectors or relays.
The EFD1000 does not currently provide vertical coupling to barometric references such
as altitude hold, vertical speed, or altitude capture.
GPSS
When GPSS is enabled, a digital GPS steering command generated by a compatible GPS
system (such as the Garmin GNS430) will be passed to the autopilot in the form of a
heading command. To have the autopilot follow this GPS steering command, engage the
autopilot in heading mode and select GPSS via the GPSS hot key on the PFD.
EFD1000 Installation Manual
DOCUMENT # A-01-126-00 PAGE 172-202 Revision C
Copyright 2008 Aspen Avionics Inc.
When GPSS is not selected, the autopilot will follow the heading bug value manually set
by the pilot.
If the connected GPS system does not provide the required roll steering command, the
GPSS legend adjacent to the GPSS Hot Key will be rendered in grey and it will not be
possible to enable GPSS operation via the Hot Key.
NOTE: Refer the Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement for your GPS system for information
about GPSS steering commands that may be output by that system.
The autopilot must be in Heading Mode to receive GPSS signals from the EFD1000.
Flight Director
When connected to a compatible autopilot system the EFD1000 will display a single-cue
flight director. The flight director command bars visually represent the lateral and
vertical steering cues transmitted to the PFD by the autopilot. When the FD output from
the autopilot is unavailable or flagged invalid, the FD command bars are removed from
the display.
Figure 12.34 Flight Director
Typical Autopilot Operations
Whenever the EFD1000 installed configuration includes connections to GPS, VLOC and
autopilot systems, the EFD1000 acts as a conduit of data between the navigation radios and
the autopilot system. This configuration enables any navigation sensor available for display
on the EFD system to be coupled to the autopilot.

Select GPSS ON via the GPSS Hot Key.
3. Engage the autopilot in heading mode and verify that the aircraft turns to a heading
to intercept the active leg of the approach
4. Monitor the CDI cross track deviation and verify that upon intercepting the active leg
of the approach that the autopilot turns to track the GPS Approach guidance
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES FOR GPS LPV APPROACHES ONLY
5. Once cleared for the GPS LPV approach, arm the autopilots Approach mode.
6. Monitor the CDI GPS Lateral Deviation and verify that while tracking and/or
intercepting the final approach course that once the GPS APPROACH mode goes
active and LPV vertical deviation is presented on the EFD that the autopilot arms the
glide slope.
7. Monitor the autopilot lateral approach course tracking. Upon intercepting the LPV
glide slope verify that the autopilot switches from glide slope ARM to glide slope
capture, and initiates a descent to track the LPV glide slope.
GPSS APPR Mode Operation GPS Underlay to ILS Approach
1. With a valid GPS Approach programmed in the GPS, use the CDI Nav Source Select
switch to couple the GPS to the HSI.
2. Select GPSS ON via the GPSS Hot Key.
3. Engage the autopilot in heading mode and verify that the aircraft turns to a heading
to intercept the active leg of the approach
4. Monitor the CDI cross track deviation and progress along the ILS GPS Approach

360 and ARC Map Settings Display Level Pages
From the 360 and ARC Map Settings Pages the pilot may configure the way basemap
features are displayed in both the 360 and ARC HSI views. For each feature, the pilot
may select either ON, AUTO, or OFF.
When a display feature is selected ON, it will always be displayed on the basemap.
When a feature is OFF, it will never be displayed on the basemap.
When a feature is set to AUTO, it will be displayed in accordance with a proprietary
pre-set relationship that is a function of the feature display level setting (e.g. High,
Medium of Low), the current map range, and the type of feature.
For example, when set to AUTO Terminal VOR/DMEs are shown at range scales less
than 30nm on the HIGH feature display level setting, but would not otherwise be shown.
Similar logic is employed for all basemap features.

D.2 System Description
The EFD1000 system is comprised of the Primary Flight Display (PFD), Remote Sensor Module
(RSM), Configuration Module (CM) and optional Analog Converter Unit (ACU).
The EFD1000 system provides display of attitude, airspeed, altitude, direction of flight, vertical
speed, turn rate, and turn quality. The system may optionally provide display of navigation
information through interfaces to GPS Receivers and/or VHF Navigation Receivers.
When interfaced with a compatible autopilot, the EFD1000 system provides heading and course
datum information to the autopilot, which enables the autopilot to follow the Course and Heading
values set by the pilot on the EFD1000.
D.3 System Operation
Refer to EFD1000 Installation Manual A-01-126-00 Rev. C or later, or AFMS for instructions on
system operation.

D.9 Periodic Maintenance and Calibration
All maintenance is considered ON CONDITION unless otherwise noted in these ICAs.
Internal Battery
The 30 minute back-up battery in the PFD is not approved as a required power source to
meet electrical power requirement for essential equipment following loss of aircraft power
generation equipment. Because the battery is not required equipment, it is up to the
operator to replace the battery when its performance no longer meets his/her
expectations. However, the battery must be replaced by the end of its useful life of five (5)
years. Status of the battery can be determined by switching the PFD to internal battery
power by:
Press MENU Key
Select POWER SETTINGS, Main Menu 6 of 7
Press BATTERY line select key
After a short delay the percentage of battery charge remaining is displayed on the PFD as:
To switch back to external power:
Press EXT PWR line select key
Instructions for battery replacement are contained in Section D.12. Contact customer
service at Aspen Avionics or an authorized Aspen Avionics Dealer for a replacement battery.
Display Backlight
The PFD display backlight has a median expected life of 50,000 operating hours.
Replacement of the lamp is on-condition as it may last longer or shorter than 50,000
hours. It is up to the operator to determine whether the backlighting has become too dim
for its intended use.
The ACU, RSM, and Configuration Module require no periodic maintenance or calibration.

D.10 Unit and Wiring Inspection
All units, brackets, installation hardware and wiring of the EFD1000 system should be checked as
defined below during annual inspection. Items found to be defective should be repaired or
replaced prior to returning the aircraft to service.
PFD Inspection
The PFD should be inspected for damage and its operation should be verified using
documents from Section D1 of these ICAs. The PFD wiring should be checked for damage,
chafing, or excessive wear. The PFD braided bonding strap should be checked for proper
termination at the PFD and aircraft grounding point to maintain HIRF and Lightning
compliance. Verify less than 3 milliohms from PFD ground stud to airframe ground. The
installation of the PFD should be inspected for corrosion on the PFD and the structure it is
mounted on. The fasteners should be inspected for tightness and general condition.
ACU Inspection
The ACU should be inspected for damage and its operation should be verified using
documents from Section D1 of these ICAs. ACU wiring should be checked for damage,
chafing, or excessive wear. Verify ACU chassis bonding to airframe ground is less than 3
milliohms to maintain HIRF and Lightning compliance. The installation of the ACU should
be inspected for corrosion on the ACU and the structure it is mounted on. The fasteners
should be inspected for tightness and general condition.
RSM Inspection
The RSM should be visually inspected for damage and wear on the lightning strip. RSM
wiring should be checked for damage, chafing, or excessive wear. Verify RSM doubler plate
bonding to airframe ground is less than 3 milliohms to maintain HIRF and Lightning
compliance. This can be checked with a milliohm meter between one of the RSM mounting
screws and airframe ground. The RSM installation and doubler should be inspected for
corrosion on the RSM, the RSM shim (optional), the fuselage skin, and the doubler. The
installation should be inspected for cracks in the fuselage, and loose or damaged fasteners.
Configuration Module Inspection
The Configuration Module should be checked for damage. The Configuration Module wiring
should be checked for damage, chafing, or excessive wear.

D.12 Removal and Replacement
This section provides instructions for removal and replacement of LRUs that have been previously
installed in the aircraft. No special tools are required for the removal and replacement of any
system LRUs. If an LRU is found to be defective it should be removed and returned to Aspen
Avionics for repair or replacement.
PFD Removal
Verify power is off. Carefully insert a flat blade screw driver into the locking mechanism on
the top center of the PFD. While gently prying pull back the top of the PFD and extract from
bracket. Remove nut securing braided ground strap to PFD. Remove pitot and static quick
connectors by pulling back outer spring loaded locking sleeve while unplugging
connectors. To remove 44 pin D-sub connector unscrew both jackscrews fully and pull
connector straight back.
PFD Replacement
Verify power is off. Install 44 pin D-sub connector and tighten jackscrews until connector
is fully seated. Install pitot and static lines to back of PFD by firmly pressing the fitting
until fully seated (pitot and static quick connectors are keyed and cannot be crossed).
Gently pull on connector to ensure proper connection. Connect braided bonding strap to
PFD with nut. Insert bottom of PFD into bracket and pivot top forward until it locks into
place on bracket.
Perform pitot and static leak check and verify the airspeed and altitude indications on the
EFD correspond to the values set on the pitot static test set.
Perform return to service test by verifying no sensors are flagged invalid and there are no
RED-Xs on display. Perform sonalert test in Section 10.6.11.
PFD Battery Replacement
PFD battery replacement must only be performed by a properly certified individual or
facility. Remove PFD from panel as above. Remove two screws on each end of the football
shaped cover plate on rear of the PFD. Unplug electrical connector and slide battery out of
PFD. Install new battery in PFD then connect battery plug. Replace cover plate and
tightened cover screws. Reinstall and test PFD as above.
ACU Removal
Verify power is off. Remove ACU by unscrewing the jackscrews of all three D-sub
connectors. Gently remove the connectors by pulling straight out. Remove the six (6) 6-32
mounting screws securing the ACU to the aircraft and remove unit from aircraft.
