Section 1. GENERAL
1.1 G500/G600 Primary Flight / Multi-Function Display System
The G500/G600 System consists of a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi­Function Display (MFD) housed in a single Garmin Display Unit (GDU), plus an Air Data Attitude and Heading Reference System (ADAHRS), and optional signal adapter (GAD). Alternatively, the G500/G600 System may include a separate Air Data Computer (ADC) and Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) in place of an ADAHRS.
The G500/G600 interfaces with other installed systems in the aircraft, including Garmin GPS/SBAS navigators, VHF navigation radios, datalinks, traffic systems, weather radars, audio panels, video sources, radar altimeters, ADF receivers, DME receivers, and autopilots.
The G500/G600 system can optionally provide Terrain Alerting functions and display of Terminal Procedures.
The primary function of the PFD is to provide attitude, heading, air data and navigation information to the pilot. The primary function of the MFD is to provide data which will facilitate the pilot’s awareness with respect to surrounding factors that may affect the overall conduct of the flight.
The standby instruments (altimeter, airspeed, attitude, and magnetic compass) are completely independent from the PFD and will continue to operate in the event the PFD is not usable. These standby instruments should be included in the
pilot’s normal instrument scan and may be referenced if the PFD data is in
question. A second G500/G600 system installed on the co-pilot’s side does not require additional standby instruments.
AFMS, GARMIN G500/G600 SYSTEM 190-00601-01 Rev. N
FAA APPROVED Page 13 of 55
1.2 System Power Sources
The G500/G600 system depends on electrical power to function. The Garmin Display Unit (GDU) and Air Data Attitude and Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) (or separate AHRS and ADC) are directly tied to the aircraft’s main or essential bus and energized when the aircraft master switch is turned on. Other systems, like the navigation equipment, weather datalink, autopilot and Adapter (GAD) are typically located on the avionics bus and may not be functional when this bus is powered off.
The major components of the G500/G600 are circuit breaker protected with resettable type breakers available to the pilot. These breakers are located at the main or essential bus circuit breaker panel and labeled as follows (appropriate boxes will be checked):
Circuit
Breaker Label
Equipment
PFD
Garmin Display Unit (PFD/MFD), GDU 620
ADAHRS
Air Data Attitude and Heading Reference System, GSU 75(B)
AHRS
Attitude and Heading Reference System, GRS 77
ADC
Air Data Computer, GDC 74A/B
GAD
Garmin Adapter, GAD 43/43e
STBY ATT
Electric Standby Attitude Indicator (Except L-3 Trilogy and Mid Continent SAM installations)
In dual installations the pilot side equipment is suffixed with the number 1 and the copilot side equipment is suffixed with the number 2. For example: PFD 1 and PFD 2.
Equipment that receives power from two different circuit breakers will be suffixed with the letters A and B. For example: PFD 1A and PFD 1B, or PFD 2A and PFD 2B.
1.3 Navigation Sources
The G500/G600 requires at least one Garmin GPS/SBAS navigation unit to ensure the integrity of the Attitude and Heading Reference System. The ADAHRS or AHRS will still operate in a reversionary mode if the GPS fails, and the attitude display on the PFD will still be presented; see Paragraph 2.8. The G500/G600 HSI can be selected to display course deviation information from up to four independent sources: two GPS, and two VHF NAV. In addition, the HSI can display two simultaneous bearing pointers sourced from GPS, VHF NAV, or ADF. DME distances can be displayed adjacent to the HSI.

FAA APPROVED Page 14 of 55
1.4 Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT)
SVT uses an internal terrain database and GPS location to present the pilot with a synthetic view of the terrain in front of the aircraft. The purpose of the SVT system is to assist the pilot in maintaining situational awareness with regard to the terrain and traffic surrounding the aircraft. A typical SVT display is shown below:
SVT provides additional features on the G500/G600 primary flight display (PFD) which display the following information:
• Synthetic Terrain; an artificial, database derived, three dimensional
view of the terrain ahead of the aircraft within a field of view of approximately 25 degrees left and 25 degrees right of the aircraft heading.
• Obstacles; obstacles such as towers, including buildings over 200 AGL
that are within the depicted synthetic terrain field of view. Powerlines are not depicted in synthetic vision.
AFMS, GARMIN G500/G600 SYSTEM 190-00601-01 Rev. N FAA APPROVED Page 15 of 55
• Flight Path Marker (FPM); an indication of the current lateral and
vertical path of the aircraft. The FPM is always displayed when synthetic terrain is selected for display.
• Traffic; a display on the PFD indicating the position of other aircraft
detected by a traffic system interfaced to the G500/G600 system.
• Horizon Line; a white line indicating the true horizon is always
displayed on the SVT display.
• Horizon Heading; a pilot selectable display of heading marks
displayed just above the horizon line on the PFD.
• Airport Signs; pilot selectable “signposts” displayed on the synthetic
terrain display indicating the position of nearby airports that are in the G500/G600 database.
• Runway Highlight; a highlighted presentation of the location and
orientation of the runway(s) at the destination airport.
The synthetic terrain depiction displays an area approximating the view from the
pilot’s eye position when looking directly ahead out the windshield in front of
the pilot. Terrain features outside this field of view are not shown on the display.
The synthetic terrain display is intended to aid the pilot awareness of the terrain and obstacles in front of the airplane. It may not provide either the accuracy or fidelity, or both, on which to solely base decisions and plan maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. The synthetic vision elements are not intended to be used for primary aircraft control in place of the primary flight instruments.
1.5 Autopilot Interface
The G500/G600 may optionally be interfaced to an autopilot. The G500/G600 typically provides course and heading datum to the autopilot based on the data selected for display on the HSI. For aircraft equipped with multiple GPS/NAV systems, the G500/G600 acts as a selection hub for the autopilot’s NAV mode, and the G500/G600 may also provide GPS Steering (GPSS) data. Some autopilots may have Flight Director capabilities which can be displayed on the G500/G600 Attitude Indicator as a Single Cue Flight Director.
Optionally, the autopilot can capture the pre-selected altitude or couple to the selected vertical speed if these capabilities are supported by the autopilot equipment installed. Refer to the autopilot operator’s manual or autopilot Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for the proper operation of the autopilot system.
Not all autopilot systems are approved for coupling to vertical guidance on GPS based approaches; consult the AFMS for the autopilot system.
AFMS, GARMIN G500/G600 SYSTEM 190-00601-01 Rev. N
FAA APPROVED Page 16 of 55
1.6 Audio Panel
The G500/G600 system may be interfaced to the aircraft audio panel to provide aural alerting generated by the G500/G600 (required for TAWS-B installations).
1.7 Traffic Display
The G500/G600 system can display traffic data from interfaced traffic systems. Sources of traffic data include TIS-A traffic via the Garmin GTX Series Mode-S Transponders, TAS/TCAS traffic from various active traffic awareness systems, and ADS-B traffic from Garmin ADS-B transceivers and ADS-B In capable Garmin transponders. The information from these systems is displayed on and controlled using the MFD.
1.8 Weather Data
The G500/G600 system can display weather data from interfaced datalink systems. Sources of weather data include the Garmin “GDL 69(A)” and “GDL 69(A) SXM” Sirius XM receivers, Garmin GSR 56 Iridium Transceiver, Garmin GDL 88 ADS-B transceiver, and GTX 345 Transponder. If one of these optional weather datalink receivers is installed, the pilot will be able to access graphical and text weather products using the MFD.
The G500/G600 system can control various airborne weather radars and display their data. Compatible weather radars include Garmin GWX weather radars, as well as certain 3rd-party weather radars.
The G500/G600 system can display data from StormScope™ lightning detection systems.
1.9 Video Display
The G500/G600 can display images from up to 2 video inputs. Video images are displayed on the MFD. The G500/G600 does not provide a means to control the video source; however the digital images from the video source can be adjusted using the G500/G600.
1.10 Radar Altimeter
The G500/G600 supports the display of radar altitude on the PFD from certain radar altimeters.
AFMS, GARMIN G500/G600 SYSTEM 190-00601-01 Rev. N
FAA APPROVED Page 17 of 55
1.11 High Speed Data Bus Interface
Some Garmin equipment connected to the G500/G600 system utilizes the High Speed Data Bus (HSDB) interface. HSDB is similar to an Ethernet bus and provides a high-speed interface between Garmin avionics. Like Ethernet, data between two units may be passed through intermediate “hub” units. Interfaced equipment that uses HSDB includes the GTN 6XX/7XX navigators, GDL 69 series datalink receivers, GDL 88 ADS-B transceiver, GWX 68/70(R) weather radars, GTS 8XX traffic systems, GTX 3X5 Mode S/ES transponders, and the GMC 605 autopilot.
Depending on the number of HSDB units installed, failure of one HSDB unit may result in loss of data on the G500/G600 from “downstream” HSDB units. Any loss of data will be annunciated on the G500/G600.
