1 Survival guide Garmin G500 / GTN650 An introduction to “new generation” avionics. Royal West Aviation Club – 30 May 2015

2 Objectives Student is familiar with “Technological Advanced Aircraft ”. Student is aware of risks / benefits of “Glass Cockpits”. Student is familiar with the hardware of the OO-GTX. Student can manipulate basic functions! Airmanship: This briefing does not replace personal study followed by hands-on training in the aircraft. It is a good attitude to be familiar with the aircraft and all the avionics installed in it!

3 TAA / Technological Advanced Aircraft Technologically advanced aircraft are equipped with new- generation avionics. They take full advantage of computing power and modern navigational aids to improve pilot situational awareness, system redundancy and dependence on equipment, and to improve in-cockpit information about traffic, weather, airspace and terrain. Equipped with: - A moving-map display. - An IFR-approved GPS navigator. - An autopilot.

8 “The safety problems found in the accidents studied by the team are typical of problems that occurred after previous introductions of new aircraft technology and all also reflect typical GA pilot judgment errors found in analysis of non-TAA accidents.” “TAAs provide increased ‘available safety,’ i.e., a potential for increased safety. However, to actually obtain this available safety, pilots must receive additional training in the specific TAA systems in their aircraft that will enable them to exploit the opportunities and operate within the limitations inherent in their TAA systems.” Airmanship: Risk of over-reliance! Don’t rely to much on the system. Maintain basic VFR-skills… AVIATE – NAVIGATE – COMMUNICATE- MANAGE

9 Glass cockpit Working definition: a glass cockpit includes a PFD to replace classic ‘6-pack’ of round dial instruments and an MFD which can display a myriad of features including moving map, airspaces, terrain and engine instruments.

10 Glass cockpit 1960 - 1970 - 1980 1990-2000-2010 2020 – 20XX

11 Glass cockpit Benefits: Easy to read + more precise. Traditional “T-scan”, for easy transition. Reduced workload & fatigue. More integrated features: GPS, Traffic, Wx, Terrain & Range on 1 map! Computer generated feedback & alerts. Solid state technology. More reliable, less maintenance! Risks: Can be confusing & or distracting! Information black-outs! Complicated user interfaces, increasing risk of wrong selections! Confusion about the mode awareness of the system! Over-trust, over-confidence and reliance on the system!
