IMPORTANT INFORMATION
About This Guide
This pilot’s guide is intended for system familiarization only. This guide
does not replace any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved procedures.
The following icons are used for warnings, cautions, notes, and important information:
WARNING: Do not rely solely on the information displayed on
the Primary Flight Display (PFD) screen to maneuver the aircraft.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully
review and understand this pilot’s guide, and practice basic
operation on the ground. During flight operations, carefully
compare indications from the PFD to all available navigation
sources, including the information from other Navigation Aids
(NAVAIDs), visual sightings, etc. For safety purposes, always
resolve any discrepancies before aircraft operations and/or
continuing navigation.
WARNING: The United States government operates the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes
that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment. Portions of the xVue Touch system utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVAID. Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the xVue Touch system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, can become unsafe.
WARNING: Using the Vertical Situation Display (VSD), maps, and
charts for course guidance is not authorized. The VSD, maps,
and charts are not approved sources of navigation information.
The VSD, maps, and charts are an aid to other means of navigating or taxiing the airplane and must not be used as a basis for
maneuvering.
WARNING: Graphical depictions of uplinked weather data (radar,
satellite, etc.) could be as much as 20 minutes older than the
actual weather conditions. The timestamps associated with the
graphical depictions only indicate the time since the information
was generated by the service provider. This delay should be considered when referencing graphical weather, as the movement
and intensity of the weather could adversely affect the safety of
flight.
WARNING: Do not use uplinked weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information provided may not accurately depict current weather
conditions. Uplinked weather data is not a substitute for onboard
weather radar.
NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby
hangars can cause intermittent loss of altitude and heading
information displayed in the xVue Touch system while on the
ground. Moving more than 300 FT (feet) away from the source of
the interference should resolve any issues.
CAUTION: The xVue Touch system display glass has an optical
coating that can be easily damaged. Do not press excessively
hard on the glass.
NOTE: Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and may not be updated
outside of normal business hours. Always confirm the information provided is current by cross-checking alternate sources
and/or contact the local Flight Service Station for interpretation
of TFR data.
CAUTION: The Infrared (IR) bar is made of polycarbonate and
can be easily damaged. Use extreme care when cleaning.
The BendixKing xVue Touch integrated flight deck (xVue Touch) is a
touch-controlled Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multifunction Display (MFD) system that replaces the traditional 6- and 8-pack flight
instruments with solid-state display of airspeed, attitude, altitude, horizontal situation indication, turn coordinator, vertical speed indication,
and course deviations, and also features Synthetic Vision System
(SVS), providing better reliability and improved situational awareness.
The MFD displays lateral and vertical positioning information, including a moving map, VFR sectional and IFR charts, instrument procedures charts, traffic, weather, and Vertical Situation Display (VSD) with
terrain, obstacle, and airspace awareness.
A 10.1-inch high-resolution Widescreen Ultra Extended
Graphics Array (WUXGA) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
with integrated Infrared (IR) touch control, which allows
operation with a finger, pen, or glove. Displays primary
flight data, Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), moving
map, and other related data. The display uses a light
sensor to detect lighting conditions for automatic dimming of the display; the display can also be dimmed
manually. The KSD 100EXP has a Universal Serial Bus
(USB) port and Wireless (Wi-Fi) antenna for database
uploads and maintenance functions.
Configuration module [i.e., Aircraft Personality Module
(APM)] is part of the KSD 100EXP and stores configuration data.
Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS)
provides attitude, altitude, airspeed, air temperature,
vertical speed, and heading information to the xVue
Touch.
Magnetometer provides heading information to the
xVue Touch.
Outside Air Temperature (OAT) probe that measures air
temperature and provides the data to the xVue Touch.
Control panel that can be used to manually adjust the
barometric pressure setting, heading, course, and altitude settings.
The xVue Touch is controlled by the KSD 100EXP, which uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to represent information and actions available. In addition to the touch GUI, the xVue Touch is also controlled by
the KCP 100EXP (throughout this guide, referred to as “control panel”),
which provides a manual interface.
TOUCHSCREEN TECHNOLOGY
The KSD 100EXP uses IR touch technology - a reflection of an object
(finger, pen) is detected as a touch (i.e., a response is registered without
an object actually touching the screen). T he KSD 100EXP also detects
a touch when gloves are worn. However, a touch is only registered when
it is completed in the same location where the touch was started.
The KSD 100EXP is controlled by the following touch gestures:
Table 2 Touch Gestures
TOUCH GESTURE
Tou ch
One finger/pen quick press release
The touch location opens a menu/keypad or displays
a visual bloom indicating touch.
Note:A touch is less than 0.5 seconds long.
Scroll
One finger/pen touch move left/right, up/down
release
The touch control dialogue boxes are displayed on the right side of the
screen (both in full/split screen view). Most dialogue boxes close automatically after 9 seconds of inactivity. Only one dialogue box can be
open at a time.
The Menu button is always displayed on the upper right corner of the
screen. Controls accessed through the Menu button include full/split
screen selection, PFD overlays and settings, MFD view and associated
overlays and settings, system tools, and advisory messages.
The touch fields are identified by a white border around the control legend. When a touch is detected, the border or menu close symbol (X)
“blooms” in cyan. Touching a map symbol provides more information
about the selected item. Map symbols do not bloom when touched.
If a function or system is inoperative, the function or system indicators
are replaced with a red X to indicate the function is unavailable/inoperative. Attitude failure is displayed as a red box with white text. Crew
Alerting System (CAS) messages are displayed in red and amber font.
Invalid data fields are displayed asamberdashes (---).
Figure 7 Examples of Unavailable/Inoperative Controls/Functions
When the xVue Touch is turned on, the power-up screen appears, displaying different database effectivity information. When databases
have been validated, touch ENTER.
NOTE: The screen displayed varies based on the screen
configuration. On power-up, the configuration at last
power down is displayed.

PFD SCREEN
The xVue Touch screen is a split screen: the left side shows the PFD
and the right side shows the MFD. The PFD screen can be displayed
with or without the SVS.
