Welcome to AV8OR 3D

Thank you for purchasing AV8OR 3D, the first portable multifunction flight
display (MFD) with 3D synthetic vision. Never before has a general aviation pilot
been able to receive such detailed geographic information in a portable unit.
Besides providing great terrain awareness, the solid state gyros and the GPS will
help you to navigate in even the most challenging situations.

A Word of Caution

Although AV8OR 3D is a situational awareness tool, AV8OR 3D is not to be used for
primary navigation. All terrain information is relative to your GPS position and

barometric pressure readings, and so is subject to error. Airports, navaids,
airspaces, as well other airport data is provided by
subject to error.

Estimated local time of arrival

The estimated time of arrival (ETA) is given in the time
zone set on the PC, not necessarily the time zone of the
departure airport. If you cross a time zone, the ETA
will not change to reflect the time in the new time zone.

are using:

Current ground speed in knots

Bottom Information Area

The position data area is located at the bottom of the screen. It provides a quick
reference to important flight data.

From left to right, it displays:

• position of the aircraft.

• current time expressed locally (departing airport) as well as the UTC time.

• next waypoint if a flight plan is activated, as well as the identifier of the

nearest airport. Both of these items show the bearing to it (BRG), the distance
to it (DST), and the estimated time en route (ETE) to reach that point, based
on the current ground speed of the aircraft.

Altimeter

Altitude MSL

Understanding the AV8OR 3D Display

An altimeter is displayed on the right
side of the screen as a transparent tape,
graduated in hundreds of feet, and an
arrow outlined in yellow displaying
two current altitudes. The white value
indicates the altitude of the aircraft
above mean sea level (MSL). The
yellow value indicates the altitude of
the aircraft above the ground level
(AGL).

orange triangle is displayed as an alert.
The base of the triangle shows the
ground elevation. The top of the
triangle represents the terrain aware­ness altitude based on the settings in
the configuration menu.

Understanding the AV8OR 3D Display

Barometric Pressure

The altitude provided is computed using the pressure sensor built into the INU,
in reference to barometric pressure at sea level or as advised by Air Traffic
Control (ATC). If barometric pressure is not available, such as in a pressurized
aircraft, GPS altitude may be alternatively selected

Vertical Speed

Vertical speed is indicated by a numeric value and a green arrow that moves next
to a blue scale within the altitude tape. The graduations on the blue scale are in
thousands of feet per minute. The position of the numeric value depends on the
direction of the vertical speed. When in level flight, the arrow and the numerical
value are not displayed.

Target Altitude

The target altitude is displayed only when an instrument procedure is activated.
It shows what the altitude of the aircraft should be at the current position in rela­tion to the approach.

Course Deviation Indicator

DRAFT

The course deviation indicator (CDI) is only displayed when an instrument proce­dure or a flight plan is activated.

The direction of the deflection of the CDI depends on the position of the aircraft,
not on its track. Therefore, when the track is roughly following the course of the
activated flight plan, CDI sensing is normal. If, for example, the magenta triangle
is to the left, a left correction must be applied.

When a flight plan is activated, a full deviation represents five nautical miles; one
dot represents 1 nautical mile.

Caution: When an instrument procedure is activated, a full deviation of the

CDI represents 2.5º.

Installing AV8OR 3D in Your
Aircraft

Installing the INU and Antenna

The INU battery may be partially charged when you take it out of the box. The
INU will charge itself while plugged into the electrical system during the time the
aircraft is running.

Place the INU under your seat or in another suitable position. Although the Blue­tooth capability between the INU and tablet PC makes it possible to place the INU
in various locations within the aircraft, it is important that the two devices be in
close proximity to each other (within 6 ft.).

When installing the INU, you need to consider how easy it is for you to reach the
power button. Other determining factors for placement are:

• length of the power cords to your power source

• length of the GPS antenna cable

• distance of the INU from the tablet PC.

The INU should be positioned within the aircraft with its front panel facing out
toward the front of the aircraft. It must be securely attached in the most level and
stable position possible.

An optional mounting plate for the INU is also available. Visit
www.BendixKing.com or call for details.

The figure below shows the front panel view of the INU.
