The section “XM Information” on page 61 provides information about the quality of the signal. AV8OR 3D User Guide DRAF Understanding the AV8OR 3D Display Understanding the AV8OR 3D Display This is the main view of AV8OR 3D. It displays the terrain in 2D and 3D, along with information about the flight. Top Information Area Flight Plan Information Menus Altimeter Course Deviation Indicator Position Data Area AV8OR 3D User Guide 3 Understanding the AV8OR 3D Display DRAFT Top Information Area The display information at the top of the tablet PC shows the following items: Estimated local time of arrival 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. Button function/menu area: displays the functions attached to these buttons depending on the mode you are using: Current ground speed in knots 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. 4 AV8OR 3D User Guide DRAFT Understanding the AV8OR 3D Display Above this line of items is the message area (MSG) which displays important messages such as notifying you of: • being close to an airspace • inside an airspace • off course Altimeter Altitude MSL Altitude AGL Vertical Speed Ground Proximity 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). When you are close to the ground, an 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. Ground Barometric Pressure AV8OR 3D Users Guide 5 Understanding the AV8OR 3D Display DRAFT 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 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: 6 When an instrument procedure is activated, a full deviation of the CDI represents 2.5º.

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. AV8OR 3D User Guide 13 DRAFT Attaching the Mount INU Panel Indicators • The power LED is green. • When the GPS or INU LED is blinking, it indicates that some data packets are being lost. This could occur for multiple reasons: • Poor Bluetooth connection can occur if the tablet PC and the INU are too far apart from each other or if there are obstacles between the two devices blocking the signal. Try fixing by relocating the tablet and INU. • INU hardware malfunction. Attaching the Mount An optional mounting plate is available for the tablet PC. The plate is compatible with the RAM mounting system, with options available to fit most aircraft. (See RAM at www.ram-mount.com) Note: 14 As opposed to a 2D navigation, the synthetic vision provided by AV8OR 3D is best viewed in a heads-up manner. The tablet PC should be mounted on the yoke panel or similar location as opposed to a knee-board mount. AV8OR 3D User Guide DRAFT Connecting the Power Supply and Cables Connecting the Power Supply and Cables Your power supply has three cables. One cable connects to the cigarette lighter, one to the tablet PC, and the third to the INU. The INU cable has a locking, threaded plug on the end. Insert this cable into the INU power socket. If needed, a longer (6-ft.) power cord for the tablet is available for purchase. A power supply clip is included in the package. This clip can be screwed under the dash board to hold the power supply.

Heading Indicator in 2D View The heading indicator is displayed as a graduated arc. A white arrow indicates the current magnetic track, and the numerical value is displayed in degrees just below. The aircraft's heading in AV8OR 3D is based on GPS tracking, not on the absolute heading of the aircraft, so there may be a variance between the AV8OR 3D heading indicator and the aircraft's compass or directional gyro (DG). The aircraft compass or DG should always be used as the primary instruments to determine actual aircraft heading and crosswind effects. When a flight plan or an instrument procedure is activated, a target course (magenta arrow) indicates the bearing to the next waypoint. When this bearing is not in the range of the track indicator, a magenta arrow shows the direction of the bearing. Track Line The track line shows where the aircraft is expected to be after flying a specified distance or a specified time. Its length and its visibility can be specified in “Track line” in the Display tab described in “Display Settings” on page 54. AV8OR 3D User Guide 29 DRAFT In Flight There are three display options: • Track line is hidden. • Track line is straight, showing the actual heading of the aircraft. • Track line is curved, displaying the predicted trajectory of the aircraft.
