This is because the GDU 620 applies magnetic variation corrections for the current aircraft location, but some navigators apply magnetic variation correction for the waypoint location.

DGarmin G500 Pilot’s Guide ForewordSec 1 System Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Sec 4 Hazard Avoidance Sec 5 Additional Features Sec 6 Annun. & Alerts Sec 7 Symbols Sec 8 Glossary Appendix A Appendix B Index When a soft key is selected, its color changes to black text on gray background and remains this way until it is turned off, at which time it reverts to white text on black background. When a soft key function is disabled, the soft key label is subdued (dimmed). Soft keys revert to the previous level after 45 seconds of inactivity. NOTE: If a soft key is pressed and held for longer than 1 second, it is ignored. AP Test The AP TEST soft key is available if the GAD 43 is installed and providing attitude to an autopilot. The AP TEST soft key disengages the autopilot as part of the GAD 43 test. NOTE: "AP TEST" is not available for all installations. CDI The CDI soft key toggles between the selection of GPS or VOR/LOC as the active navigation source. In a single GDU 620 system, the GDU CDI soft key will change the source in the connected navigator and making a source change in the navigator will be reflected in the GDU 620. In a dual GDU 620 system, the CDI keys in the navigator will be disabled. 1-2 The 1-2 soft key toggles between the available receivers for selected navigation source (i.e. GPS1 and GPS2 or VOR/LOC1 and VOR/LOC2). This soft key will only be present if the system is configured for a second GPS or VOR/ LOC. PFD Pressing the PFD soft key displays the BRG1, BRG2, and BACK soft keys. The BRG2 soft key will only be present if the system is configured for a second GPS or VOR/LOC receiver. BRG1 The BRG1 soft key cycles through the available bearing 1 indicator modes (NAV1, GPS1, ADF , or None).

The numeric labels and major tick marks on the moving tape are marked at intervals of 10 units, while minor tick marks on the moving tape are indicated at intervals of five units. Speed indication starts at 20 knots, regardless of the displayed units. NOTE: Airspeed units (KTS, MPH, KPH) are configured to match the approved units for the installation. The Airspeed Indicator provides Indicated Airspeed, True Airspeed, and Ground Speed. The Airspeed Trend Indicator shows what the airspeed will be in six seconds, if the current acceleration is maintained. The actual airspeed is displayed inside the black pointer. The Airspeed Trend Vector is a vertical, pink/magenta line, extending up or down on the airspeed scale, shown to the right of the color-coded speed range strip. The end of the trend vector corresponds to the predicted airspeed in six seconds if the current acceleration is maintained. If the trend vector crosses into the overspeed range, the text of the actual airspeed readout changes to yellow. The trend vector is absent if the speed remains constant or if any data needed to calculate airspeed is not available due to a system failure.

Above and below the horizon line, major pitch marks and numeric labels are shown for every 10º, up to 80º. Minor pitch marks are shown for intervening 5º increments, up to 25º below and 45º above the horizon line. Between 20º below to 20º above the horizon line, minor pitch marks occur every 2.5º. Angle of bank is indicated by the position of the pointer on the roll scale. Major tick marks are 30º and 60º and minor tick marks are 10º, 20º, and 45º are shown to the left and right of the zero. The Slip/Skid Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer . The indicator moves with the roll pointer and moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral acceleration. Slip/skid is indicated by the location of the bar relative to the pointer. One bar displacement (as shown below) is equal to one ball displacement on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator.

The GDU 620 Attitude Indicator has been configured in either a Ground Pointer or a Roll Pointer configuration to match the configuration of your aircraft’s standby Attitude Indicator. Ground/ Sky Pointer mode is configured during installation and can not be changed by the pilot. In an aircraft with an Attitude Indicator that has a Ground Pointer, the pointer above the Roll Scale shifts with the roll or bank angle of the aircraft to keep the Roll Scale Zero Pointer pointing towards the ground.

Red chevrons are displayed at greater than 50º pitch up and 30º pitch down. The PFD will “declutter” when the aircraft enters an extreme attitude. Only the primary functions will be displayed in these situations. The following information is removed from the PFD (and corresponding soft keys are disabled) when the aircraft is in an unusual attitude: • PFD Knob Mode Annunciations • Ground Speed, True Airspeed, and Airspeed Units • Selected Altitude, Barometer Settings, and Selected Vertical Speed • Vertical Course Deviation Indicator • Traffic and Terrain Annunciations • Flight Director Command Bars Figure 2-14 Extreme Pitch Indication
