System Overview
SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
System OverviewFlight InstrumentsAFCSAdditional FeaturesIndex
The G5 is an electronic instrument display capable of operating as a standalone
flight display or a fully integrated backup instrument for G3X systems. It features a
bright, sunlight readable, 3.5-inch color display which is sized to fit in a standard
3-1/8-inch instrument cutout.
When installed as part of a G3X system, the G5 provides a redundant source of
attitude and air data to the G3X displays, and additionally provides backup autopilot
control allowing coupled GPS approaches to be flown or continued in the event of
primary flight display is unavailability. The G5 additionally provides backup autopilot
control allowing coupled GPS approaches to be flown or continued in the event of
primary flight display loss. In the case of aircraft power loss, the optional battery
backup sustains the G5 flight display with up to 4 hours of emergency power.

1.4 OPERATION
NOTE: Refer to the Installation portion of this manual for information on
configuring the G5.
System OverviewFlight InstrumentsAFCSAdditional FeaturesIndex
1.4.1 G5 ANNUNCIATIONS
When a G5 function fails, a Red-X is typically displayed over the instrument(s) or
data experiencing the failure. Upon G5 power-up, certain instruments remain invalid
as equipment begins to initialize. All instruments should be operational within
one minute of power-up. If any instrument remains flagged, and it is not likely an
installation related problem, the G5 should be serviced by a Garmin-authorized repair
facility .
Figure 1-2 G5 Failure Annunciations
1.4.2 G5 ATTITUDE
The G5 calculates aircraft attitude using information from its built-in inertial sensors.
Any failure of the inertial sensors results in loss of attitude and information (indicated
by Red-X flags over the PFD attitude display). If the G5 senses that the attitude solution
is valid, but not yet within the internal accuracy limits, "ALIGNING" is displayed. The
G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.
The G5 will also use GPS and airspeed data to provide the most accurate attitude
information. If none of these additional sources of information are available, attitude
calculations will still be valid but accuracy may be slightly affected.

System Overview
1.4.3 G5 HEADING
Magnetic heading is available in a standalone installation with a magnetometer,
and when the G5 is configured as a backup in a G3X/G3X Touch system and the G5
is receiving magnetic heading data from an ADAHRS unit. If magnetic heading input
data is not available, the G5 will display GPS-derived ground track instead.
System OverviewFlight InstrumentsAFCSAdditional FeaturesIndex
The G5 corrects for shifts and variations in the Earth’s magnetic field by applying the
Magnetic Field Variation Database. The Magnetic Field Variation Database is derived
from the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). The IGRF is a mathematical
model that describes the Earth’s main magnetic field and its annual rate of change.
The database is updated approximately every 5 years via a software update. Failure to
update this database could lead to erroneous heading information being displayed to
the pilot.
If the G5 senses that the magnetic heading measurement is valid, but possibly
outside of the internal accuracy limits, the numeric heading is displayed in yellow.
1.4.4 BACKLIGHT INTENSITY
When set to Auto, the backlight is automatically adjusted according to ambient
light conditions. When set to Manual, the backlight level is set by the pilot.
Adjusting backlight intensity:
1)
While the unit is turned on, press the Power Button.
