    1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
    1.1  G5 Electronic Flight Instrument 
    The G5 Electronic Flight Instrument contains integrated attitude/air data sensors that provide 
    display of attitude and secondary display of air data information.  The G5 features a bright, sunlight 
    readable, 3.5-inch color display.  In the case of aircraft power loss, the G5 battery sustains the 
    G5 flight display with up to 4 hours of power.

    2 OPERATION 
    2.1 G5 Annunciations 
    When a G5 function fails, a large red ‘X’ is 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. 
      
    G5 Failure Indications 
    2.2 G5 Attitude 
    The G5 calculates aircraft attitude using information from its built-in inertial sensors. The G5 also 
    uses GPS and airspeed data to provide the most accurate attitude information.  The G5 should 
    display valid attitude within the first minute of power-up.  
    If the G5 senses that the attitude solution is valid, but not yet within the internal accuracy limits, 
    ALIGNING is displayed.  The displayed attitude information is still accurate and usable while 
    this indication is shown. The G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.

    If the G5 senses that the attitude solution is invalid, “ALIGNING KEEP WINGS LEVEL” is 
    displayed.  No attitude information is displayed while this indication is shown.  The G5 can align 
    itself both while taxiing and during level flight.   
     
     
    Attitude Aligning Keep Wings Level Indication 
     
    If the G5 inertial sensors fail, “ATTITUDE FAIL” is displayed in addition to a red-X flag.  No attitude 
    information is displayed while this indication is shown.   
      
    Attitude Failure Indication 
    2.3 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. 
    2)  Turn the Knob to adjust the backlight intensity. 
    3)  Press the Knob to close the backlight page. 
    Setting the backlight intensity to automatic: 
    1)  While the unit is turned on, press the Power Button. 
    2) Press the 
    Power Button again to select 
    Auto. 
    3)  Press the Knob to close the backlight page.
