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.

Quick Start Guide

Overview

This quick-start section will get you up and running with the basic features of AV8OR 3D. Subsequent chapters will guide you through using AV8OR 3D from flight planning all the way to touchdown.

After you become familiar with AV8OR 3D, you can refer to subsequent sections to obtain information about customizing the configuration of your AV8OR 3D.

Now, let’s get started...

Your Tablet PC

While the Tablet PC is a multifunction device that you can use as a home computer, it has been specifically configured by Honeywell to run the AV8OR 3D. This includes display and other settings within the PC. Altering these settings may affect AV8OR 3D functionality.

Installing AV8OR 3D in Your Aircraft

Refer to Section 2, “Installing AV8OR 3D in Your Aircraft” for details on the following procedures:

• “Installing the INU and Antenna” on page 13.

• “Attaching the Mount” on page 14

• “Connecting the Power Supply and Cables” on page 15

Activating Your XM Satellite Receiver

DRAFT

Activating Your XM Satellite Receiver

Note: Prior to connecting the weather receiver, you must subscribe to an XM Aviator or

Aviator Lite service. Call XM Satellite at (800) 985-9200 for more information.

1. Turn on the INU and XM weather receivers with the antenna visible to satellites.

2. Call XM Satellite and activate your subscription.

The unit must be turned on and the antenna visible to the sky for the receiver to activate.

Note: If you have already activated your subscription but are unable to activate

your receiver, you may need to call XM Satellite and ask them to send a new activation signal. The XM activation phone number is (800) 967-2346.

3. Wait for the XM weather receiver to be activated from an XM satellite. (It may take from several minutes to up to 1 hour to retrieve the activation signal.)

4. Press the Menu button to display the menu items on the left side of the screen.

5. Press the Cfg button to enter the Setup dialog.

6. Select the XM info tab.

7. In the connection section, press the Start button and wait until you see the radio signal status field switch to “Active” and the activation info is updated with the radio serial number. If the service level field is not updated with your subscription level, press the Activate button.

8. After being activated, your XM weather receiver will transmit the weather data to AV8OR 3D. The section “XM Information” on page 61 provides information about the quality of the signal.

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.

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.

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.

Using Buttons and On-screen Menus

This section describes how to display menu choices and select information in AV8OR 3D using On-screen buttons.

Using Tablet PC Buttons and Main Display Items

The buttons are located at the top of the tablet PC. There are five buttons, and an arrow keypad. The functions attached to these buttons change depending on the mode you are using. Functions are always displayed directly beneath the corresponding buttons in the Top Information Area.

Nearest Button

The NRST button opens the Nearest screen which provides information about the airports, intersections, VORs, or NDBs that are close to the position of the aircraft. It has the same action as selecting NRST in the menu. The NRST button will always be available to you to use regardless of which mode you are in.

Menu / Enter Button

Pressing the MENU button activates an on-screen menu containing a list of items to be displayed on the left side of the screen. Once the on-screen menu is active, the center button in the arrow keypad turns into an SELECT button to allow you confirm selection of the selected menu item.

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.
