Notes to Installers:

The following important issues regarding the Avidyne 700-00182-XXX (IFD5XX), 700-00179-XXX (IFD4XX), 700-00194-XXX (Atlas) Integrated Flight Display GPS/NAV/COM System installation should be noted during the planning stages.

  1. These installation instructions assume that the GPS/NAV/COM transceiver and GPS antenna can be installed in a structurally sound manner in accordance with the installation manual and AC 43.13-( ). All the aircraft certification requirements must remain in compliance.
  2. Mounting the GPS antenna on composite and pressurized aircraft requires engineering guidance beyond the scope of this manual. With respect to the Approved Model List STC, the physical mounting of the antenna is specifically excluded from the approval in the case of installations on the pressure vessel of pressurized aircraft, composite aircraft, and aircraft with a certification basis of Amendment 23-45 or later, unless approved installation data is listed in the Master Document List of the STC. All early amendment, metal construction, non-pressurized aircraft antenna installations must be installed consistent with accepted industry practices. The installation must be structurally sound and in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B and 43.13-2B. All other antennas must be mounted using the manufacturers' installation data.
  3. An Electrical Load Analysis must be accomplished to determine that the electrical limits of the specific aircraft are not exceeded. The Electrical Load Analysis, Functional Hazard Assessment and other certification requirements for the aircraft must remain in compliance.
  4. The IFD5XX/IFD4XX/ATLAS Forward Looking Terrain Alerting is not a TSO-C151 system, and does not satisfy any Part 91/135 TAWS requirements.
  5. Prior to starting IFD5XX/IFD4XX/ATLAS installation, verify the aircraft make and model is on the STC Approved Model List (AML). Also, note any installation specific data for the make and model in the AML.
  6. IFD545, IFD550, and ATLAS may not be stored, or installed in any aircraft that is expected to be stored, in areas where the temperature is expected to be below -40^
  7. IFD545, IFD550, and ATLAS cannot be used as a required attitude indicator and must only be used as a "secondary (non -required) source of attitude information".
  8. This Installation Manual is applicable to fixed wing applications only. For Rotorcraft Part 27/29 reference the IFD5XX/4XX Helicopter Installation Manual 600-00333-000.

1.10 Electronic Map Display Information

This article meets the minimum requirements of TSO-C165b. Installation of this article requires separate approval i.e. TC, STC, field approval.

The maximum error for total system accuracy for the IFD map display, including latency is <15m^* .

The moving map function of the IFD series products is intended as an aid to Pilot situational awareness and is not intended to be used as a navigation instrument.

* as defined in RTCA DO-257B

1.11 GPS Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE)

FDE software is part of all IFD systems and does not require any installer or pilot action to operate. This FDE software is running at all times and if it detects an issue, it will alert the pilot through Caution-Alerting System (CAS) messages.

When the IFD is installed per the directions in this Installation Manual, it complies with the governing requirements for GPS Primary Means of Navigation in Oceanic and Remote Airspace (more than 200 nm from the nearest airport), when used with any commercially available RAIM/FDE Prediction Program. Examples of these prediction programs include the FAA's raimprediction.net, Fltplan.com, www.sapt.faa.gov, and the Garmin FDE Prediction Program.

These programs only need to be run under the following scenarios for 14 CFR Parts 91, 121, 125, and 135 operations where the IFD is being used as the primary means of navigation and:

  • TSO-C146d compliant antenna equipped aircraft that experience a WAAS failure or when operating outside of SBAS coverage areas;
  • Non-TSO-C146d compliant antenna equipped aircraft (e.g. TSO-C129a only compliant systems) when operating in Oceanic and Remote airspace, Enroute and Terminal airspace, or during any LNAV/VNAV, LP, or LPV approach.

Prior to conducting Class II navigation (remote/oceanic), the owner/operator must obtain operational approval for using the IFD system for long-range navigation from the appropriate flight standards district office.

1.12 Terrain Alerting and Warning System

When the Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) option is enabled, the IFD provides a TSO-C151d compliant TAWS-B function. TAWS-B does not require any external equipment though an attached external annunciator panel will be driven by TAWS specific cautions and warnings ^1 . TAWS is always running in the background, and does not have a dedicated display page. TAWS-B contains the following sub-functions:

  • Premature Descent Alert (PDA) – this function is designed to alert when the aircraft is hazardously below the normal approach path for the nearest runway at either the origin or destination airport
  • Excessive Rates of Descent (EDR) – this function is designed to alert when the aircraft is experiencing excessive rates of descent given the current AGL altitude. The alert can be generated during any phase of flight
  • Negative Climb Rate (NCR) or Altitude Loss After Takeoff/Go-Around – this function is designed to alert when the aircraft develops a negative climb rate immediately after takeoff or go-around or when an altitude loss is detected in that phase

1.13 FIS-B ADS-B Weather Information

FIS-B uplink is an FAA approved source for METAR, TAF, WINDS, PIREPs, NEXRAD, AIRMET, SJGMET, and TFR information subject to the range limits for the broadcast of these products. FIS-B uplink is not an FAA approved source for NOTAMs.

This article meets the minimum requirements of TSO-Cl 57c. Installation of this article requires separate approval i.e. TC, STC, field approval.

Figure 1 Full IFR Installation (IFD)

2.1.2.3 Approved IFR Operations

If the IFD is installed per this section, it can provide guidance for the following operations conducted under instrument flight rules (IFR):

• VOR, LOC, ILS instrument approach procedures (procedures using VHF radio guidance)
- RNP instrument approach procedures using the following lines of minima:
o LNAV minima (including when using advisory vertical guidance from the system).
o LNAV/VNAV minima.
o LPV minima; and
o LP minima.

2.1.2.4 GPS Oceanic / Remote Navigation

All aircraft approved for GPS Oceanic/Remote navigation must have dual electrical power/ground connections to both IFD units as shown in Section 4.9 and described in FAA AC 20-138() Appendix 1.

Note: All equipment required by 14 CFR 91.205 must be previously installed on the aircraft for IFR operations.

Note: The IFD545, IFD550 and ATLAS cannot be used as a required attitude indicator. Attitude information that can be displayed on these units may only be used as a secondary (non -required) source of attitude information.

Note: It is imperative that only one source of terrain cautions, and warnings be enabled on the airplane so as to avoid the potential for conflicting information to be presented to the pilot. If a TAWS system is installed but the IFD's internal TA and FLTA functions are to be used for terrain avoidance, the TAWS system must be fully disabled. If a separate TAWS system is to be used the caution and warning indications generated by the TAWS system can be displayed on a remote third-party annunciator and the IFD's TA and FLTA displays, and audio must be inhibited. See section 7.5.4.

Note: The IFD system supports a Honeywell KGP560/860 system with a remote third-party annunciator only. All other external TAWS/EGPWS systems must be disabled if the internal TA and FLTA are to be operational on the IFD system.

2.2 Garmin GNS Replacement Considerations

The IFD5XX/4XX is designed to be a slide-in replacement for a GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W. For those replacement installations, the existing aircraft tray and wiring may be reused. However, some changes may be required as indicated below and described in this manual.

2.2.1 Circuit Breakers

Some aircraft may be required to replace the installed circuit breaker and power and ground wiring to accommodate the IFD5XX/4XX/Atlas.

2.2.2 WAAS Enabled:

If the unit being replaced was a WAAS-enabled device, then the WAAS antennas previously installed can be reused.

2.2.3 TAWS:

If the existing TAWS is to remain with the aircraft the IFD-5XX/4XX/Atlas shall not be used to augment this information to the flight deck without additional approval.

The IFD5XX/4XX/Atlas unit is approved for TSO-C151d for TAWS-B operations with an additional paid option unlock. If the IFD is replacing existing TAWS-B avionics, wiring changes may be required.

2.2.4 TAWS Audio:

If the unit being replaced was not a TAWS-enabled device, or if the TAWS Audio output signals were not already connected to the aircraft audio panel(s), some additional wiring will be required from the IFD5XX/4XX/Atlas tray to the aircraft audio panel(s) as identified in Section 6.11.1 in order to supply IFD5XX/4XX/Atlas terrain alerting audio (Forward Looking Terrain Alerting FLTA functionality) and TOD chime to the headsets.

If the paid TSO'd TAWS unlock option is enabled, this additional wiring is required as part of the TAWS activation.

2.2.5 Installation with Avidyne AXP340/322 Transponder:

For those installations that use a combined IFD5XX/4XX/Atlas - Avidyne AXP340/AXP322 Mode S ADS-B transponder, the on-ground/in-air discrete signal wire may need to be added from the IFD5XX/4XX/Atlas tray to the AXP340/322 tray as identified in Section 6.12.

Note: Installations replacing an existing non-WAAS GPS/NAV/COM transceiver can upgrade to a WAAS installation using section 3 of this manual.

Note: Installations replacing a GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W must verify the aircraft is on the IFD5XX/4XX Approved Model List, Avidyne Document Number AVIFD-318 (Part 23) or AVIFD-583 (Part 25).

Note: The IFD system supports a Honeywell KGP560/860 system with a remote third-party annunciator only. All other external TAWS/EGPWS systems must be disabled if the internal TA and FLTA are to be operational on the IFD system.

2.2.6 Additional Installation Data Sources

This installation manual (Avidyne document 600-00299-000) does not constitute complete FAA approved data to install Avidyne IFD4XX/IFD5XX/Atlas units in subject aircraft unless this manual is specifically identified as approved data by FAA approved installation approval i.e., STC, approved installation document or drawing.

Table 43 Pre-Installation Checklist

3. Antenna Installation

This section describes the installation of the GPS, NAV, and Glideslope antennas on unpressurized, metallic fuselage airplanes. The installer is responsible to ensure the structural aspects of the installation meet all regulatory requirements and are adequate for the aircraft type. Antenna installations on airplanes with composite or pressurized fuselages, and aircraft with certification basis of Amendment 23-45 or later, are beyond the scope of this manual and a separate installation approval is required.

3.1 Antenna Bonding

All antennas should be well bonded to the aircraft. Reference AC 43.13-2b paragraph 307 for additional information.

3.2 Antenna Environmental Qualifications

Verify the antenna is appropriately qualified to be installed on the aircraft. Reference the antenna manufacturer's RTCA DO-160(x) qualification form.

3.3 GPS Antenna

The GPS Antenna should be installed using practices acceptable to the antenna and aircraft manufacturers. Regulatory guidance for antenna installations can be found in AC 20-138() Chapter 12, AC 43.13-2B Chapter 3, and AC 43.13-1B Chapter 4. Also reference Appendix C in this manual.

The GPS antenna listed in Table 39 can be installed on unpressurized metal airplanes with a certification basis of Amendment 23-43, or earlier, using the data below. All other GPS Antenna installations are beyond the scope of this manual and a separate installation approval is required.

The Avidyne GPS antenna, Avidyne Part Number 200-00282-000, can be installed as shown in Figure C - 6 through Figure C - 10. The GPS Antenna must be installed using the following guidelines to be in compliance with the STC.

GPS Antenna Location:

  • Fuselage skin must be 2024-T3 aluminum (or equivalent)
  • Fuselage skin thicknesses beyond the range provided in Table 44 below are outside the scope of this installation
  • Selected antenna location may not be within one full bay of other cutouts, skin joints, or load introduction points
  • Doubler installation on, or adjacent to, primary or fatigue critical structure, as defined by the aircraft manufacturer or regulatory guidance, requires separate approval
  • Evaluate the installation per AC43.13-2B, Chapter 3, paragraph 303(b) for gaps due to fuselage curvature. If a saddle is required, fabrication should be per AC 43.13-1B, and should completely fill the curvature gaps, and should not be riveted to the fuselage skin. The only purpose of the saddle is to act as a tapered shim and is not intended to transfer load into the skin

Doubler Fabrication:

  • Doubler material is to be 2024-T3 clad aluminum per AMS QQ-A-250/5
  • Form the doubler to match the fuselage curvature
  • Etch, alodine, and prime the doubler per the guidance provided in AC43.13-1B
  • Drill holes and install rivets per AC43.13-1B

- It is acceptable to slightly vary the rivet and row spacing to accommodate existing frames and stringers provided 2D edge distance and 4D minimum rivet spacing is maintained and no rivet is installed within 0.75" of the antenna mounting holes

- Rivet type is dependent on the type of rivets in the adjacent fuselage structure. If the adjacent rivets in the structure around the bay selected for the doubler installation are protruding head type, install MS20470AD rivets in the outer row of the doubler. If the adjacent rivets are countersunk or dimpled, install either MS20426AD or NAS1097AD rivets per the table below. Reference Table 148 for rivet type and doubler thickness appropriate for the aircraft's skin thickness.

3.3.1 GPS Antenna Location

The following recommendations should be followed when choosing an installation location for the GPS antenna. Prior to installing the GPS antenna, it is recommended to temporarily mount the GPS antenna in the desired location and functional ground test the GPS system.

  • The antenna must be mounted on the exterior upper fuselage of the aircraft
  • The GPS antenna should be mounted more than 2 feet from any transmitting antenna.
  • The GPS antenna should be mounted in a location that minimizes the effects of shadowing by the aircraft structure.
  • The GPS antenna should be installed more than 6 inches from any other antenna, including another GPS antenna.
  • The GPS antenna should be installed in a location that allows the antenna to be level in normal cruise flight.

  • For multiple GPS installations, the antennas should not be mounted in a straight line from front to rear of the aircraft along the longitudinal axis on the aircraft to prevent simultaneous antenna damage from lightning strikes.

  • Antennas should be installed 3" or more from the windshield.

3.3.1.1 Aircraft Lightning Zone Approved Locations

If installing an Avidyne GPS Antenna (Avidyne Part Number 200-00282-000), the GPS antenna is qualified to be installed in aircraft lightning zone 2A as defined by SAE ARP5414A and RTCA DO-160G.

Procedure:

  1. Determine the keep out areas, zone 1A and 1B
  2. No Installation Areas of Zone 1A and 1B and for these aircraft are 1.3 meters each.
  3. Measure 2.6 meters from the aircraft nose to begin zone 2A on the aircraft.

Figure 3 Distance to Aircraft Lightning Zone 2A

Procedure:

  1. Determine the Maximum Cruising Speed ( V_no ) for the aircraft. Note: Indicated Airspeed in knots (KIAS) must be used in the table.
  2. Locate the Airspeed for the aircraft on the Horizontal Axis of the table. Draw a vertical line from the Airspeed to the No Installation Area.
  3. Draw a horizontal line from the No Installation Area, found in Step 2, to the Vertical Axis on the chart.
  4. Determine the Distance (in feet) to Aircraft Lightning Zone 2A for the aircraft on the Vertical Axis.

Example:

For example, if an aircraft shown in Figure 4 has a V_no of 175 KIAS, the No Installation Area will be 7.2 feet. This is shown on Figure 3 with a dotted line and Figure 4 with a shaded area.

Aircraft with a V_no greater than 210 KIAS may install the GPS antenna 8.6 feet aft of the nose of the aircraft (excluding propeller).

Table 45 Approved GPS Antennas for SBAS Operation

The IFD can be interfaced to all TSO-C190 antennas and the approved antennas listed in the table above. If connected to an approved WAAS Antenna, the IFD is approved for TSO-C146d Gamma 3 operation.

The IFD5XX/4XX/ATLAS can be interfaced to non-WAAS antennas but the system will not be approved for any type of WAAS operations. In this case, the Antenna Type selection as described in Section 7.5.12 must be selected as "Non-WAAS". This will result in the FMS functionality of the IFD inhibiting selection of any WAAS (SBAS) approach in the database.

Installing a new GPS antenna listed in Table 45 requires additional structural approval beyond the scope of this manual.

3.3.6 GPS Interference

After installing the IFD System, the GPS antenna must be tested to ensure no interference is present. The GPS Antenna System is subject to interference from VHF COM transceiver, Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) antenna, or Direction Finder (DF) receiver which can radiate harmonics that can potentially interfere with the GPS antenna.

If a VHF Communication transceiver is found to be the problem, installing a 1.57542 GHz notch filter may help to reduce the problem.

3.3.7 Ground Plane

The GPS Antenna should be mounted on a minimum of 8 x 8 inch metal surface or ground plane.

3.3.8 Dual IFD Installations

If the aircraft has dual IFD, the aircraft is permitted to have a non-WAAS system and a WAAS system installed, however, if the two antennas are not of the same type (i.e. dual non-WAAS or dual WAAS installation), then FMS-related data (flight plans, waypoints, routes, etc) will not be shared between IFD units.

3.3.9 Anti-Ice Protection

If the aircraft is approved for flight into known icing, verify the GPS antenna is installed in location that is not susceptible to ice buildup or complies with FAA AC 20-138() paragraph 13-2.

3.4 VHF Communication Antenna

Note: This section is N/A for the IFD510/545/410 and Atlas FMS Only units.

The VHF communication antenna should be installed using this manual, FAA AC 43.13-( ), AC 20-67B and the antenna manufacturer's guidance.

The antennas should be installed to allow maximum separation between antennas. If possible, one antenna should be installed on the top of the aircraft, and the other on the bottom of the aircraft.

3.4.1 Antenna Environmental Qualifications

Verify the antenna is appropriately qualified to be installed on the aircraft. Reference the antenna manufacturer's RTCA DO-160(x) qualification form.

3.4.2 VHF Communication Cable

The antenna cable should be RG-142B, RG-400, or an equivalent 50Ω coaxial cable.

3.4.3 VHF Coaxial Cable Connector

The connectors on the VHF communication coaxial cable should be assembled per the connector manufacturer's assembly instructions.

3.4.4 Voltage Standing Wave Ratio

The VSWR should not exceed 2:1 over the VHF communication radio frequency range. A VSWR over 2:1 may result in loss in transmitting power up to 50%.

3.4.5 VHF Antenna

The VHF Communication Antenna should meet one of the following Technical Standard Orders (TSO): TSO-C37(), TSO-C38(), TSO-C169().

3.4.6 Antenna Ground Plane

The VHF Communication Antenna should be mounted on a minimum of 18 x 18 inch metal surface or ground plane.

3.5 Navigation Antennas

Note: This section is N/A for the IFD510/545/410 and Atlas FMS Only units.

3.5.1 VOR/LOC Antenna

The NAV Antenna should be a standard 50Ω horizontally polarized antenna. The VOR/LOC antenna should be installed using the manufacturer's installation instructions and FAA AC 43.13-( ).

The VOR/LOC Antenna should meet Technical Standard Order (TSO): TSO-C36 (), TSO-C40 ().

3.5.2 Navigation Coaxial Cable

The antenna cable should be made of RG-142B, RG-400, or an equivalent 50Ω coaxial cable.

3.5.3 Navigation Coaxial Cable Connector

The connectors on the VHF navigation coaxial cable should be assembled per the connector manufacturer's assembly instructions.

3.5.4 Diplexer

The IFD requires separate Glideslope and Navigation antenna inputs. A diplexer will be required if a single navigation coax delivers both VHF navigation and Glideslope navigation signals to the IFD location, such as if a combined Nav/Glideslope antenna is used, or a Nav/Glideslope diplexer is installed to combine signals at the antenna location. The diplexer should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual.

The Diplexer should be located in a position on the aircraft to minimize the amount of coaxial cable required.

3.6 Glideslope Antenna

Note: This section is N/A for the IFD510/545/410 and Atlas FMS Only units.

The Glideslope Antenna should be standard 50Ω horizontally polarized antenna. The Glideslope antenna should be installed using the manufacturer's installation instructions and FAA AC 43.13-(). The IFD has separate VOR/LOC and Glideslope antenna inputs. See Diplexer text in Section 3.5.4.

3.6.1 Glideslope

The Glideslope Antenna should also be installed with a clear line of sight. The Glideslope Antenna should meet Technical Standard Order (TSO): TSO-C34().

4. Electrical Installation

The electrical wiring should be installed in accordance with FAA AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11, sections 8 through 13 and in accordance with this manual. The following section will describe requirements for the electrical wiring when installing the IFD.

4.1 Wire Type

MIL-C-27500 and MIL-W-22759 wire is recommended. Select the appropriate wire type and size for the aircraft type and installation location per FAA AC 43.13-1B.

4.2 Wire and Connector Identification

Wires and connectors should be marked per FAA AC 43.13-1B.

4.3 Wire Routing

All wires and wire bundles must be routed and secured in such a way to eliminate risk of mechanical damage and minimize exposure to heat and fluids. Also, consider the following when installing wire harnesses in the aircraft:

  • In dual GPS installations, route wire harnesses separately to prevent dual GPS failures
  • Do not route harness near high power electrical lines
  • Equipment should be installed with separation between redundant systems to prevent loss of navigation due to a single event

4.4 Shield Grounds

All shield grounds should be grounded using the ground block on the IFD5XX/IFD4XX tray backplate, or the ground screw on the Atlas chassis. Shield grounds should be as short as possible (shorter than 3.0", if possible)

Shield grounds on non-Avidyne equipment should be grounded per the manufacturer's installation instructions. In the absence of any installation data, the shield wires can be connected to the connector backshell or aircraft ground.

4.5 Wire Harness Overbraid

Copper overbraid is not required on the IFD wire harness. However, in the following cases, copper overbraid is required.

4.5.1 Existing Equipment

If interfacing to any existing avionics equipment with copper overbraid over the wire harness, it must be installed on all new wiring to that existing piece of equipment. The copper overbraid must meet the specification in Section 4.5.3.

4.5.2 Severe Lightning Transient Environment

Aircraft Installations where the aircraft actual transient level is higher than the IFD equipment transient design level must install copper overbraid on the entire IFD wire

harness. This does not include the antenna coaxial cables. The copper overbraid must be installed per Section 4.5.3.

The Approved Model List for the STC will indicate if an aircraft is required to install wire harness overbraid on the IFD wiring. Note: Overbraid is not required on VFR only installations as defined in Section 2.1.1.

4.5.3 Copper Overbraid Installation

The copper overbraid must be a minimum 90% optical coverage per ASTM-B-33. The overbraid must be grounded at both ends. If the aircraft wiring passes through wire disconnects or bulkheads, the overbraid should be continued on each segment.

The wire harness overbraid should also be installed per FAA AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11-189.

4.6 IFD Connectors

The following special tools may be needed during installation of the IFD:

4.7 Byteflight Digital Data Bus Consideration – Dual IFD Installations

Dual IFD installations use a Byteflight digital Databus protocol when connected via RS-232 Channel 3 and configured for CrossSync. The following must be considered for replacement and new installations.

4.7.1 Databus Wiring - Replacement Installations

For installations that are replacing two previously connected GNS4XX/5XX systems, the Byteflight digital Databus is capable of using the pre-existing wiring between the two pre-existing trays with no additional wiring or modifications required. All bus termination is built into the IFD units. However, the existing wire length on the CrossSync connection must not exceed 8 feet in length on IFD RS-232 Channel 3 on P1001. Installations with longer installation lengths between IFD units must use Byteflight cable. The ByteFlight wire is available from Avidyne, reference Table 40.

Installations with significant amount of Byteflight data interruptions should consider installing Byteflight cable.

4.7.2 Databus Wiring – New Installations

For all new installations of dual IFDs (not replacing pre-existing GNS4XX/5XX systems), the recommended wiring for the RS-485 data protocol is shielded twisted-pair cable with an approximate characteristic impedance of 100-120 Ohms. The wire material must meet 14 CFR 23.1359 (c).

4.8 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers must be installed in a location easily accessible to the pilot and must be resettable trip free devices. The Circuit Breaker must be clearly identified and visible under all lighting conditions. Circuit breaker size is identified in installation data shown in Appendix D: Electrical Interface Drawings. Note that 14v aircraft may be required to replace the installed circuit breaker and power wiring to accommodate the IFD.

4.9 Power Distribution

The installer is responsible for preservation of multiple power busses on the aircraft in accordance with manufacturer's original design and the requirements of 14 CFR Part 23. This includes maintaining electrical power to essential equipment.

4.10 Electrical Load Analysis

Prior to installing the IFD, an electrical load analysis (ELA) must be performed. The aircraft's electrical load should be less than 80% of the total generator output following the IFD installation, reference Section 1.5 for IFD power requirements. Also reference FAA AC 43.13-2B Paragraph 208 for more information on performing an aircraft electrical load analysis.

The purpose of the ELA is to show compliance to 14 CFR §23.1351 and §23.1353 (h).

4.11 Low Power Behaviors

The IFD can accept input power ranging from 9VDC to 33VDC but has the following low power behaviors.

Functions are restored if the IFD input voltage rises 1VDC above threshold voltage for 1 second.

Table 47 IFD Low Power Behavior

5. Mechanical Installation

This section will describe the physical mounting of the IFD or Atlas in the aircraft.

Aircraft installing an IFD for VFR use only, as defined in Section 2.1.1, can install the IFD unit in any location easily accessible to the pilot. However, the IFD installation must not introduce any new hazards. All other installations must follow the guidance below.

5.1 Equipment Location – New Installations

If the IFD is used for IFR navigation, course deviation information and navigation annunciation must be installed in the Pilot's Field of View (FOV). The FAA has provided clarification regarding the intent of TSO-C146 and acceptable source annunciation location, navigation annunciation, and FOV requirements on similar products in the past. Therefore, the installation data as follows must be followed to maintain compliance with the STC. Otherwise, additional installation approval will be required.

Aircraft requiring two pilots must have this annunciation at each pilot station or unobstructed view of the IFD display. The IFD should be located in a position easily reached by both pilots.

5.1.1 Determining the IFD Field of View

In determining the requirement for remote annunciators, the installer must determine if the IFD location falls within the required pilot field of view. The IFD navigation source selection indication ("GPS" or "VLOC") required field of view is ± 30^ or 13.8'' horizontally from the center of the attitude indicator, or centerline of the pilot's seat/yoke. The navigation and TAWS (if enabled) annunciation field of view is approximately ± 35^ or 16.8'' horizontally from the center of the attitude indicator. Both of these angles and distances are determined with the pilot seated at a minimum of 24'' from the instrument panel. For aircraft without a basic instrument 'T' or an offset control yoke/control, use the center of the pilot's seat as the primary view centerline.

The vertical field of view will be from the top of the instrument panel to the portion of the instrument panel that is immediately below the basic 'T' instruments, reference

Glaesheeld ACCEPTABLE FIELD OF VIEW AREA 10.7 8.3 13.8 13.8 Instrument "T" Centerline THE TOP OF THE IFDSXX SHOULD LEVEL WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

Figure 9. Note, if the existing type certified HSI/CDI/PFD is lower than the basic 'T', use that as the lower limit.

Glaesheeld ACCEPTABLE FIELD OF VIEW AREA 10.7 8.3 13.8 13.8 Instrument "T" Centerline THE TOP OF THE IFDSXX SHOULD LEVEL WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

Figure 9 below indicates the acceptable field of view for the IFD5XX/4XX. If the IFD5XX/4XX can be installed in this area, remote navigation annunciation is not required. If the IFD5XX/4XX cannot be installed within the acceptable field of view, the installation must have navigation annunciations installed per Section 5.1.2.

Note: The dimensions shown in

Glaesheeld ACCEPTABLE FIELD OF VIEW AREA 10.7 8.3 13.8 13.8 Instrument "T" Centerline THE TOP OF THE IFDSXX SHOULD LEVEL WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

Figure 9 and Figure 10 for the IFD5XX also apply to the IFD4XX.
Note: Atlas units mounted in center console positions will fall outside of the required field of view for annunciations. Panel mounted annunciators are required in the prescribed field of view.

Glaresheeld ACCEPTABLE FIELD OF VIEW AREA 10.7 8.3 13.8 13.8 Instrument "T" Centerline ▲ THE TOP OF THE IFDSXX SHOULD LEVEL WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

Figure 9 Field of View

5.1.2 Navigation and TAWS (if enabled) Annunciation

The navigation and TAWS (if enabled) annunciations listed in Table 48 must be installed in the Pilot's Field of view. This may be accomplished in several ways. The following are acceptable:

- Use Navigation Annunciation on an existing Primary Flight Display or Horizontal Situation Indicator located in the Pilot's primary field of view. CDI/HSI indicators with navigation annunciation is acceptable (e.g. GI 106, MD200-306, or similar). The CDI/HSI must be located within the primary field of view.

If the IFD5XX/4XX is located within the acceptable field of view, as shown in

Glaesheeld ACCEPTABLE FIELD OF VIEW AREA 10.7 8.3 13.8 13.8 Instrument "T" Centerline THE TOP OF THE IFDSXX SHOULD LEVEL WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIMARY FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

• Figure 9, external annunciation is not needed
- Install external annunciation lights in the acceptable field of view, as shown in Figure 10.

The IFD should have the following annunciation within the Pilot's Field of View when installing an external annunciator:

5.1.3 Course Deviation Indicator

The course deviation information must be located in the Pilot's Primary Field of view if the IFD is used for IFR navigation. Installation of a CDI/HSI requires a separate installation approval.

5.1.4 Instrument Panel Cutout

The IFD5XX and IFD4XX tray is designed to be installed on the backside of the instrument panel. The instrument panel requires either a 6.320" x 4.600" or 6.320" x 2.70" hole for the IFD5XX or IFD4XX respectively. If the instrument panel in the aircraft is considered primary structure, additional installation approval will be required for the instrument panel cutout. The installer is responsible to ensure the structural aspects of this installation meet the requirements of AC 43.13-2B, Chapter 11, Paragraph 1104(a).

5.1.5 Requirements for Tray Installation

The Avidyne Tray must be installed in the aircraft as described below in order to satisfy the structural requirements for the STC. Deviations to these requirements will require separate approval.

  1. Rear Tray Support (Instrument Panel)

a. The existing instrument panel must be fabricated from 2024-T3 aluminum with a minimum thickness of 0.050" (Note: equivalent or stronger is acceptable). The tray brackets must be fabricated from 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/16" 2024-T3 aluminum angle for mounting the tray, as shown in Figure C - 1 and Figure C - 2.
b. If new components are fabricated, the fabrication methods must follow the requirements of FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B, Chapter 4 for general airframe fabrication criteria, including hole tolerances, edge distances, rivet spacing, and corrosion protection, and Advisory Circular 43.13-2B Chapters 2 and 11 for structural adequacy.

  1. Forward Tray Support

a. The Avidyne Tray must have forward support brackets, reference Figure C - 1 or Figure C - 2. The forward support brace must be 0.032" 5052-H32 aluminum. (Note: equivalent or stronger is acceptable)
b. If new forward support brackets are fabricated, the fabrication methods must follow the requirements of either Figure C - 1 or Figure C - 2, FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B, Chapter 4 for general airframe fabrication criteria, including hole tolerances, edge distances, rivet spacing, and corrosion protection, and Advisory Circular 43.13-2B, Chapters 2 and 11 for structural adequacy.

The IFD5XX tray should be installed using six #6-32 100° flat head screws and self-locking nuts. The IFD4XX tray should be installed using four #6-32 100° flat head screws and self-locking nuts.

5.2 Equipment Location - Replacement Unit

If the IFD is being installed as replacement unit on a previously approved IFR installation, the existing installation location is acceptable and does not require any changes.

5.3 Equipment Location - Atlas Unit

Utilizing an existing dzus rail console, verify that the console structure has not been altered or modified and meets the type design of the installation aircraft. Assure adequate depth is available to accommodate the Atlas unit as well as connectors and associated wire bundles. The installer must determine the airworthiness of the location of any dzus rail mounted equipment that is moved when installing the Atlas unit to meet the required angle of regard for the Atlas display. The captive quarter-turn fasteners in the Atlas unit are utilized to fasten the IFD to the dzus rail structure.

5.4 Angle of Regard

The IFD5XX/4XX should be mounted in a location where the viewing angle of the display does not exceed the following angles: Note: the reference plane for these measurements is the unit itself:

• From the Left: 45°
• From the Right: 45°
• From the Top: 35°
• From the Bottom: 15°

The Atlas should be mounted in a location where the viewing angle of the display does not exceed the following angles:

• From the Left: 45°
• From the Right: 45°
• From the Top: 15°
• From the Bottom: 35°

Note: The Atlas display viewing angles are designed to accommodate a typical center console installation. Angled consoles or console transitions may not meet the stated angle of regard requirements above. Instrument panel installations are not acceptable.

5.5 Unit Installation/Removal

5.5.1 IFD IFD5XX/4XX Installation/Removal

The IFD5XX/4XX should be installed using 3/32-inch hex drive tool. The hex drive is inserted into the hole in the front bezel.

5.5.2 Atlas Installation/Removal

Remove equipment to be replaced from the center console per the instructions of the existing equipment manufacturer. Inspect the center console support structure to ensure no alterations or modifications have been made and it meets type design. Ensure the Avidyne Dzus fastener pattern is compatible with the existing Dzus rails. If evidence of alteration is found, or if Dzus rails are not compatible, separate approval is required.

Record the weight of all equipment removed from the center console Dzus rails, including fasteners and electrical connectors. Verify the weight of the removed equipment exceeds the Atlas installed weight shown in Table 25. If weight of removed equipment is less than the Atlas installed weight, separate approval is required.

Install ATLAS on existing Dzus rails or rack by engaging the 4 Dzus quarter turn fasteners with an appropriately sized flat blade tool.

5.6 Internal Cooling

The IFDXXX units have several internal fans and heat sinks as part of their basic design. The IFDXXX units have intake and exhaust vents on the left and right sides of the chassis with cut outs in the tray to facilitate venting. The left and right sides of the front bezel have intake louvers to help pull ambient cockpit air through the unit. The IFDXXX will benefit from keeping these vents clear of all obstructions.

The Atlas units have intake and exhaust vents on the top and bottom of the chassis and a few louvers on the back of the head unit.

While not necessary, if installation flexibility permits, the units will benefit from these intake and exhaust vents remaining as clear as feasible. In some cases failure to do so can cause an over-temp condition.

5.7 External Cooling

The IFD does not require external cooling; however, additional cooling may prolong product life. A 5/8" diameter air fitting is provided in the rear of the IFD mounting tray, if forced air cooling is installed.

IFD installations in a tightly packed avionics stack should consider installing an electric avionics cooling fan. As a minimum, plan to leave space for clear intake and exhaust venting when able. If a fan is installed, ensure the intake air flow to the fan is not located near the exhaust of other fans or near other hot equipment.

In the event the system feels excessively hot or if an Overtemp Caution Advisory System message is presented on the display, there are some diagnostic tools provided in the IFD to assist in finding more optimal cooling installations. In Maintenance Mode, select the “Status” tab along the bottom edge of the display and then press the “Info” Line Select Key as needed until “Temps” is displayed. Note the hottest source(s) on that page and supply that information to Avidyne Technical Support to include both the source and the associated temperature for follow-on guidance. If a Red CAS message is displayed at an time with the warning, “UNIT OVERTEMP UNIT UNRELIABLE” the IFD must return to Avidyne for servicing.

The metal bezel of the IFD is intentionally designed to radiate heat away from the internal components and out of the unit. This can have the effect of a bezel that may be warm to the touch. This is considered normal. Note that the rubber bezel buttons will not conduct this heat and should not be warm. This condition will be more noticeable on hot days or during long ground runs.

5.8 Electrical Bonding

The electrical bonding between the IFD5XX/IFD4XX tray or the Atlas rear ground screws and aircraft ground should be ≤ 10 milliohm.

5.9 Aircraft Considerations

Installing wires or antennas on a pressurized aircraft, composite aircraft, or with an aircraft certification basis of Amendment 23-45 or later is beyond the scope of this manual and requires additional installation approval, unless the aircraft model is listed on the STC AML.

5.10 Weight and Balance

After installing the IFD, the aircraft's weight and balance must be updated after installation is complete.

For those installations where an IFD5XX/4XX is replacing a GNS530/430 (any variant), since the IFD is within 5% of the weight of the removed GNS530/430 (less than 1 pound difference), no new weight and balance must actually be performed according to AC 43.13-1B Change 1 Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices Aircraft Inspection and Repair (Chapter 10) and AC 120-27E Aircraft Weight and Balance Control.

5.11 Compass Safe Distance

The IFD should be installed 12" or more away from the aircraft's magnetic compass. Perform an aircraft compass swing/calibration after completing the IFD installation.

Note: The 12" minimum distance is a TSO-driven value that is designed to ensure the unit will have no impact on the aircraft compass. If an installation is made where this distance is less than 12", then a compass swing/calibration must be accomplished after completing the IFD installation.

6. System Installation

All outputs sink up to 500 mA when activated.

Some legacy autopilots require a “delayed ILS” discrete input. This function is used to prevent an autopilot from engaging too quickly upon glideslope capture. The output prevents the autopilot from an immediately pitch up or down to center the glideslope needle.

Rockwell Collins VIR-30/32/432/433 VHF navigation sensors have this discrete output. It is incorporated to switch an external relay in the flight guidance system when an ILS frequency is selected, otherwise it is an open.

When replacing one of the radios listed above, it is imperative to determine if the delayed ILS output is being used with the installed autopilot.

To accomplish this function using an IFD or Atlas:

ILS/GPS Approach: P1001 Pin 14 will replace this existing output.

ILS Approach: P1006 Pin 29 for VHF approach sensor approach operations only (see Table 51).

7. Configuration and Checkout

After completing installation, a complete installation checkout should be performed. Complete the following sections to verify the installation is installed correctly. Prior to configuring the IFD unit, the following checks should be performed.

7.1 Wiring Check

Verify wiring is properly installed and secured. Verify the wiring does not interfere with the flight controls. Verify all wiring connected to IFD is connected correctly to the unit. Caution: Failure to properly connect aircraft wiring to the IFD may result in damage to the IFD or to the equipment connected to the IFD.

7.2 Mounting Check

Verify the IFD5XX/IFD4XX tray is securely installed to the airframe.

For Atlas units, verify all Dzus fasteners are fully latched and the Atlas is securely mounted to the Dzus rails.

7.3 Chassis ID Setting

For dual IFD installations, it is imperative that the proper Chassis ID settings are established for each IFD via dip switches located along the right side of the IFD outer chassis. Not doing so will result in multiple error messages and degraded performance when two or more IFDs are installed in an airplane.

Note: It is imperative that only one source of terrain cautions and warnings be enabled on the airplane so as to avoid the potential for conflicting information to be presented to the pilot. If a TAWS system is installed but the IFD's internal Fixed Wing TAWS (paid option), or TA and FLTA functions are to be used for terrain avoidance, the TAWS system must be fully disabled. If a separate TAWS system is to be used the caution and warning indications generated by the TAWS system can be displayed on a remote third party annunciator and the IFD's TA and FLTA displays and audio must be inhibited.

Note: The IFD system supports Honeywell EGPWS systems with a remote third party annunciator only. All other external TAWS/EGPWS systems must be disabled if the internal Fixed Wing TAWS (paid option) or TA and FLTA are to be operational

7.5.7 Main Lighting Configuration

The source of the lighting for the IFD can be the bezel photocell sensor or the dimming bus. 28VDC, 14VDC, 5VDC and 5VAC dimming buses are all supported and are automatically detected by the IFD.

Figure 15 Main Lighting Configuration Page

Photo Response Time

Sets the speed at which the brightness changes when photocell is selected as the lighting source. Both the Bezel and Display fields have a range of 1 to 5, and the factory default is 3.

Photo Slope

The Photo Slope sets the sensitivity of the display/bezel to changes in the input when the dimming source is the IFD photocell. This field has a range of 15 to 100, and the factory default is 80.

Photo Minimum

The Photo Minimum sets the minimum brightness when the dimming source is the photocell. Both the Bezel and Display fields have a range of 1 to 50, and the factory default is 1.

Photo Maximum

The Photo Maximum sets the maximum brightness when the dimming source is the photocell. Both the Bezel and Display fields have a range of 50 to 100, and the factory default is 100.

dimBus Transition %

The dimBus Transition % sets the threshold where the aircraft dimming bus takes over from the photocell. Below this threshold, the aircraft dimmer controls the IFD lighting. Both the Bezel and Display fields have a range of 0 to 100, and the factory default is 10.

Note: If it is not desired to hand brightness control over to the dimming bus from the photocell at any point, set dimBus Transition % to 0 (zero). Doing so will prevent the scenario where, in increasingly darker environments (e.g. flying past sunset into dark night), the display automatically dims and dims and dims and then suddenly jumps to bright.

dimBus Slope

The dimBus Slope sets the sensitivity of the display/bezel to the aircraft dimmer. Both the Bezel and Display fields have a range of 15 to 100, and the factory default is 60.

Note: Previous to Release 10.1.1.0, a dimBus slope value of 100 on the AviCurve resulted in a maximum brightness value of 21%. In Release 10.1.1.0 and later, a slope value of 100 will result in 100% maximum brightness.

dimBus Minimum

The dimBus Minimum sets the minimum brightness when the aircraft dimmer is the dimming source. Both the Bezel and Display fields have a range of 1 to 50, and the factory default is 1.

dimBus Maximum

The dimBus Maximum sets the maximum brightness when the aircraft dimmer is the dimming source. Both the Bezel and Display fields have a range of 50 to 100, and the factory default is 100.

dimBus Curve

The dimBus Curve sets the aircraft dimming bus to either a Proportional Curve or AviCurve on the IFD.

The Proportional Curve tracks the aircraft lighting bus as follows: Maximum night lighting at maximum aircraft lighting bus voltage, Minimum night lighting at minimum aircraft lighting bus voltage (linear in-between).

The AviCurve tracks the aircraft dimming bus as follows:

Dimming Bus Calibration

The section will calibrate the IFD to the aircraft avionics lighting bus.

SelectionDescription
dimBus TypeDC - select this option if the dimming bus is a DC bus. AC - select this option if the dimming bus is an AC bus. The IFD needs to know the bus type in order to alter internal configuration as well as properly perform the calibration.
dimBus Max VoltageSets the maximum aircraft dimming bus voltage. Range is 0 - 28V.
dimBus Min VoltageSets the minimum aircraft dimming bus voltage. Range is 0 - 28V.

7.5.15 GPS Legacy Avionics System (GLAS)

Description:

GLAS (GPS Legacy Avionics System) is a paid for software unlock that enables legacy avionics that are "pre-WAAS" to fly GPS approaches with vertical guidance via the existing EFIS A429 short range navigation (SRN)/VLOC input channel utilizing Avidyne proprietary software.

During GPS Approach operations, the IFD or Atlas communicates the selected GPS approach guidance on a dedicated ARINC 429 VLOC output channel. The result is displayed and coupled flight guidance information for GPS approaches utilizing the EFIS FGS SRN input channel(s).

With the GLAS option configured, the A429 VLOC TX/RX ports on P1006 are high speed / low speed configurable. The IFD P1050 connector also supports a dedicated GLAS A429 out channel where dual channeling is required.

The A429 GLAS settings in the IFD/Atlas will not work if GLAS enablement is not unlocked.

Approach Capabilities:

With the appropriately rated TSO-C190 GPS antenna installed and the IFD/Atlas configured correctly, GPS approach capabilities include the following:

LNAV: Lateral Guidance only. Standard GPS precision 0.3NM deflection

LNAV+V: Lateral Navigation w/ Advisory Vertical Guidance

LNAV/VNAV: Lateral and Vertical Navigation

LP: Localizer Performance (no vertical guidance)

LP+V: Localizer Performance w/ Advisory Vertical Guidance

LPV: Localizer Precision with Vertical Guidance.

Configuration:

There are two GLAS configuration options: Of these two, Proline VHF/GPS is only used when the IFD/Atlas on-board radio is not installed (IFD510/545).

VHF/GPS 429

When using the VHF/GPS 429 configuration, the IFD uses its internal VHF navigation sensor data up until a GPS approach is active. At this point "pseudo-ILS" data based on GPS deviations replaces the VLOC data.

Proline VHF/GPS

In situations where the IFD onboard VHF navigation is not installed (FMS+VCom or FMS only), or when the VHF navigation is not being utilized and turned off from the maintenance mode, the IFD can be inserted in the middle of the communication chain between the aircraft's existing VHF navigation sensor and the EFIS/FGS systems for the purpose of overriding the existing VHF nav data.

For this application the existing A429 VLOC data is interrupted. The information from the existing SRN sensor is then passed through the IFD for management.

Figure 32 IRU Calibration Page

IFD550, IFD545, Atlas IRU require minimal calibration. The adjustment parameters available and their impact on the system behavior are discussed below.

Ensure that the calibration is performed with the aircraft on flat level surface and engines off. In order to adjust each of the parameters, you will press the right knob until the cursor advances to the value to be set. Use the inner knob to adjust the value. The small blue over brown window on the right side of the page will show suggested value changes to make when calibrating the IRU. For example in the picture above it is suggested to add +1.0° change to the Pitch: New Offset Value.

Once all settings have been adjusted as desired, press the "Save Offsets" LSK to save the values you have configured.

7.5.22.1 Setting TAS:

Press the right knob until the cursor advances and the TAS field is selected. Turn the right knob to change the value until it represents the cruise airspeed of the aircraft in knots. Look in the POH and set the TAS value to the 75% power at 6,000 ft. value.

NOTE: Setting of the TAS value is mandatory.

7.5.22.2 Adjusting Pitch Roll and Yaw

Your installation may not require the setting of pitch, roll, and yaw values. These values need only be set if the installation orientation of the IFD545/IFD550/Atlas is not aligned with the lateral, vertical or longitudinal lines of the aircraft (see diagram below).

Lateral line Vertical line Longitudinal line

Figure 33 Calibration Line Locations

7.5.22.2.1 Adjusting Pitch

For installations in which the IFD system is not at a right angle with respect to the horizontal axis of the aircraft, the Pitch value will need to be adjusted. If the rear of the IFD (Faceplate side) is pitched down with respect to the horizontal axis of the aircraft, you will need to enter a negative number for the Pitch value. If the rear of the IFD (Faceplate side) is pitched up with respect to the horizontal axis of the aircraft, you will need to enter a positive number for Pitch.

7.5.22.2.2 Adjusting Roll

For installations in which the IFD system is not aligned with the lateral line of the aircraft, the roll value needs to be adjusted. If the IFD is tilted toward the left wing of the Aircraft, you will need to enter a negative number for the Roll value. If the IFD is tilted toward the right wing of the Aircraft, you will need to enter a positive number for the Roll value.

7.5.22.2.3 Adjusting Yaw

For installations in which the IFD system is not parallel to the longitudinal line of the aircraft, the yaw value will need to be adjusted. If the rear of IFD is skewed to the right of longitudinal line, then you will need to enter a positive number for the Yaw value. If the IFD is skewed to the left of longitudinal line, you will need to enter a negative number for the Yaw value.

7.5.22.3 Post Calibration Check

7.5.25 Stormscope Test Page

The Maintenance Mode Stormscope Test page is accessible from the Maintenance Mode Config Tab when one set of the RS232 ports has been configured as WX-500 and at least one power cycle has been executed since configuration.

Stormscope Test page contains the following LSKs: Change Mode, Strikes Clear, Get Data

Change Mode LSK - Changes to the Stormscope test mode as shown in the LSK. The mode selected will be returned by the WX-500 and will display within the strike display. Repeated presses of the Change Mode LSK will step through each of the modes, cycling back to the first mode in the list (Weather).

These are the Stormscope test modes:

  • Weather - basically a fixed heading version of normal flight mode - will display real lightning strikes if any are generated.
  • Noise - similar to Weather mode but with the WX-500 sensitivity set to determine where excess noise might be generated.
  • Strike Test - a target displaying test strikes as generated by a WX-500 strike generating test set.
  • Demo - similar to Weather mode with the strikes generated internally by the WX-500's Demo mode.
  • Self-Test - executes the WX-500 internal Self-Test sequence which will return to Weather mode after 10 seconds.

Strikes Clear LSK - Pressing this LSK will send a "clear strikes" command to the WX-500, clearing its internal buffer of strikes.

Get Data LSK -Pressing the Get Data LSK will Download Data from the WX-500. The Stormscope Downloadable Data page will display ASCII data as retrieved verbatim from the Stormscope. Repeated presses of the Get Data LSK will step through each of the Downloadable Data modes, cycling back to the first mode in the list (SW Version).

These are the Stormscope Downloadable Data modes:

  • SW Version - displays the WX-500 Main SW Version / Main Boot SW Version / DSP SW Version
  • Config - displays the WX-500 configuration settings (Serial Jumpers, Hdg Valid Flag, Flag Sense, Hdg Value, Inhibit Line and Antenna Mount).
  • Environment - displays the WX-500 environmental parameters (voltages and processor temp)
  • Fault Log - displays the WX-500 fault log history of the last 20 faults.

7.5.26 GAD 42 Configuration

The IFD can be connected to the Garmin GAD42 Interface Adapter but there is no dedicated GAD42 configuration page in the IFD.

If the IFD is replacing a GNS530/W or GNS430/W that had previously been connected to a GAD42, then no action is required since the configuration is already saved in the GAD42.

If this is a new installation of an IFD (i.e. not replacing an existing GNS530/W or GNS430/W) or if the GAD42 had to be replaced for service, then the GAD42 must be configured via a manual strapping method as described in Garmin P/N 190-00159-00 GAD42 Installation Manual, Section 5.1.

If the IFD displays a "GAD 42 Needs Service" message, return the GAD 42 unit to the manufacturer.

7.6 Checkout

After configuring the IFD, the following post-installation tasks should be performed.

7.6.1 Database Check

Verify the Navigation, Chart, and Obstacle databases are up to date. If the databases need to be updated, reference the IFD Pilot's Guide or Section 10.1 for update procedures.

7.6.2 Airplane Flight Supplement Check

Complete and install the IFD Airplane Flight Manual Supplement in the aircraft's Flight Manual or Pilot's Operating Manual.

7.6.3 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness

Complete and install the IFD Instruction for Continued Airworthiness in the aircraft maintenance records.

7.6.4 Aircraft Weight and Balance

Update the Aircraft's Weight and Balance in the aircraft records.

For those installations where an IFD5XX/4XX is replacing a similar equipped GNS530 or GNS430 (a like variant) no weight and balance must actually be performed. If a GPS only Garmin unit is being replaced with a full featured IFD5XX/4XX, the weight change is more than one pound and a weight and balance must be prepared.

Since a full featured IFD5XX/4XX is within 5% of the weight of the removed GNS530/430 (less than 1 pound difference), no new weight and balance must actually be performed according to AC 43.13-1B Change 1 Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices Aircraft Inspection and Repair (Chapter 10) and AC 120-27E Aircraft Weight and Balance Control.

7.6.5 Electrical Load Analysis

Verify the aircraft's electrical load is within limits, reference Section 4.10.

7.6.6 GPS Signal Acquisition

After installation, position the aircraft outside with clear unobstructed view of the sky. Verify the IFD acquires and calculates a GPS position. Verify no interference from other aircraft equipment is observed (e.g. TCAS, SATCOM, etc)

  • Verify the GPS reception during all phases of flight. (e.g., bank angles of up to 30 degrees and pitch angles associated with take-off, departures, landing and missed approaches)
  • Verify the following GPS/FMS operation:

  • Hold at a designated waypoint

  • Intercept and track to or from a waypoint on a selected course
  • Waypoint sequencing
  • Verify the overall operation of procedures or paths
  • Selection of an approach

- Evaluate the display of navigation parameters on the flight instruments (PFD, HSI, CDI) is correct

- Verify annunciation is correct and in the Pilot's field of view

8.2 VHF COM Flight Check

Note: This section is not applicable for IFD510/545/410.

Verify in-flight the IFD VHF communication transceiver in the high, mid, and low frequency ranges. Verify the VHF at least 50 nautical miles and at an appropriate altitude.

8.3 VOR Flight Checks

Note: This section is not applicable for IFD510/545/410.

Verify in-flight the IFD VHF navigation receiver by tuning a local VOR station within 50 nautical miles. Verify the audio tone is heard and course deviation information and flag information are correct.

8.4 ILS Flight Checks

Note: This section is not applicable for IFD510/545/410.

Verify in-flight the IFD VHF navigation receiver by tuning an airport with an ILS. Verify the NAV ID audio tone is heard and the course deviation and flag information are correct.

8.5 Autopilot Checks

8.7 Fixed Wing TAWS Checks (if enabled)

Verify the IFD TAWS system passes self-test. Ensure that on approach, the pilot is able to easily hear and clearly discern the "500 ft Callout"

9. Glove Validation Procedures

Many types of gloves can be used with the IFD touch screen display. The key parameter for the effectiveness of a glove with touch screen is the distance between the finger and the glass and to a lesser extent, the type of material separating the skin from the glass. The thinner the glove or the more compatible the material (e.g. leather, fine cotton, etc), the greater the likelihood of success will be. Likewise, the more surface area that comes in contact with the glass, the greater the success may be. Each glove must be qualified for compatibility with the display and those glove calibration procedures (specific to the glove and the pilot combination) are immediately below. If all verification steps are marked as a "Pass" then the glove/pilot combination is considered to be a qualified pair.

10. Software and Database Update Procedures

10.1 Data Updates

Periodic updates to navigation data, charts data, and obstacle data are all made through the USB port on the front of each IFD. Updates must be performed in accordance with 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix A (c) and FAA AC 20-153() paragraph 11.

The table below summarizes the databases update periods:

DatabaseUpdate CycleComments & Source
Chart Data14 daysExpiration watermark displayed after 14 days indefinitely until data updated (Jeppesen) (N/A for IFD4XX)
Nav Data28 daysAirport, airway, navaid, airspace, and FMS data (Jeppesen)
Obstacle Data56 daysDisplayed on map and used for TA and FLTA functions (Jeppesen)
Terrain DataAs requiredDisplayed on map and used for TA and FLTA functions. The IFD is shipped from the factory with this database already loaded and updates are anticipated to be a rare occurrence.

Table 144 Database Update Cycle

In the event the terrain data ever needs updating, this is also performed through the front panel USB port.

Use one of the formatted fobs supplied by Avidyne (marked by the Avidyne logo printed on one side). In the event one of those fobs are not available, either call Avidyne for a replacement fob (a nominal fee will be charged) or purchase a replacement through other means. Most USB drives that can be formatted using FAT32 will be acceptable.

To perform a data update, ensure the data to be updated is placed onto one of the acceptable USB fobs. Carefully insert the USB fob into the IFD USB slot while power is turned off. When the IFD is powered up it should start in maintenance mode. If the IFD does not start in maintenance mode, select the "Setup" tab of the SYS page and then pick the "Update Databases" LSK.

If an IFD is in normal operating mode (not maintenance mode), the presence of a USB fob is ignored.

10.2 Datalogs Download

There is extensive data-logging that is automatically done on all IFDs. These datalogs can be accessed post-flight and used for a number of purposes.

There are five types of datalogs employed in the IFDs:

- System Log - This log provides an in-depth record of the navigation state. From this log, you can re-create many aspects of the FMS output and IFD state. It logs at a rate of approximately 1Hz.

- Flight Log – This log provides a detailed record of your aircraft state as measured by the various IFD sensors. It logs at a rate of approximately 5Hz.

  • Engine Log - This log provides details on fuel flow sensor data (if configured). It logs at a rate of approximately 14 Hz.
  • Event Log – This log contains miscellaneous data such as all alerts, keystrokes, flight plan data, system status and error messages, etc. It is designed to be diagnostics log for Avidyne Service Center technicians and not expected to be used by owners/operators. It logs at an on-condition rate.
  • Voltage Log - This log contains internal diagnostic data such as the voltages and currents on sub-system boards, temperatures and internal fan status. It logs at a rate of approximately 1Hz.
  • Download Configuration Info - This log contains the system configuration for the unit.
  • GPS Log - This log contains detailed internal state data for the GPS.

The "Download Logs" LSK is presented when "Software" is selected on the SYS tab and the system is not in-air. When the "Download Logs" LSK is pressed, a pair of Confirm/Cancel LSKs are presented. Selecting Confirm will launch the Maintenance Mode of the IFD. From Maintenance Mode, press the right side of the AUX page function key to select the "Logs" tab. Ensure a USB fob is inserted in the IFD front bezel USB port and then use a combination of the left side LSKs and the bottom right IFD knob to select the desired combination of logs and type of action to perform.

Figure 43 Datalogs Download Page

Pressing the "Proceed" LSK will immediately start downloading all logs listed in the center of the page with green check marks adjacent to them. If only a subset of the logs are to be downloaded, use the "Un-Select All" LSK to deselect all logs and then use the bottom right IFD knob to highlight the desired log and push in to generated a green check mark.

The "Logs" LSK on that Maintenance Mode page provides two options for downloading this data via dedicated LSKs. The first option ("Since Last") downloads the data logged since the last time a download was completed. Since the logs contain a large amount of data, the Since Last option will be a quicker option in almost every case. The second option ("Full") allows a download of all data logs onto the USB fob. The Full option can take up to 45 minutes to an hour to complete.

Download times are highly dependent on the number and types of logs being downloaded and how long it's been since the last download and whether you are downloading Since Last or Full. Times can range from a few seconds to more than 45 minutes. The more often logs are downloaded, the shorter the download times will be.

In order to provide an indication of download progress, a progress bar will be presented with both a symbolic aircraft indicating download in progress and a % complete estimate. The files to be downloaded can have one of several states - "OK", "In progress...", "Pending", "Skipped", "Active", "Failed".

When downloaded to the USB fob, the data logs will be saved in .csv files. This can be imported into newer versions of Microsoft Excel into a table format. The data can then be plotted or analyzed by several 3rd party tools. Note that files can easily contain 50MB or more of data.

10.3 Software Update

The following procedures should be followed when performing optional or mandatory software change to the IFD System:

  1. Acquire the software image and associated loading procedure from the manufacturer.
  2. Verify the software part number configuration before and after maintenance is performed on the airborne equipment using the loading procedure instructions.
  3. It is the responsibility of maintenance personnel to ensure the identified part is recorded in the necessary maintenance logs.
  4. It is the maintenance personnel's responsibility to ensure that the software part identification has been logged. When new software is loaded into the unit, the correct software part number should be verified according to the instructions accompanying the software change before the unit is returned to service. Hardware versions are identified on the data label by a Rev number following the main part number.

Changes to software part number, version, and/or operational characteristics should be reflected in the Operator's Manual, Aircraft Flight Manual, Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement, and/or any other appropriate document.

11. Periodic Maintenance

The IFD does not require any periodic or preventative maintenance. Maintenance on the IFD is on condition.

11.1 Equipment Calibration

The IFD has no required servicing tasks.

11.2 VOR Checks

Every 30 days, verify the limits of the VOR per 14 CFR §91.171. Only required for IFR operations. (N/A for IFD510/545/410 and Atlas FMS Only units)

11.3 Cleaning

The front display and bezel may require cleaning periodically, reference Section 13.

13. Bezel and Display Cleaning

If the IFD screen should become dirty due to fingerprints or dust, clean the screen using the following materials and methods:

A clean, soft lint-free cloth such as 3M Ultra-Brite Cloth #2011 or similar.

A cleaning solution composed of a 1:1 ratio of de-ionized water and isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Use caution, as it may be flammable. Always apply the cleaning solution directly on the cloth. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen.

In general, isopropyl alcohol is a safe and effective cleaner. Methanol and most acidic solutions can be toxic or damaging to glass coatings if misused.

Excessive or unnecessary cleaning should be avoided to prevent damage to the coated optical filter surfaces. Never allow excess amounts of cleaning agents to dry if they have formed into pools, streaks or droplets to help avoid spotting of the glass surface.

The use of any 3rd party screen protector, especially those that adhere directly to the IFD display glass, is not endorsed by Avidyne due to the touch-screen nature of the display and may void the warranty for any display related issue.

NOTES:

  1. ALL WIRES TO BE 24 AWG OR GREATER UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.

  2. IF AIRCRAFT HAS MULTIPLE POWER BUSSES, IT IS RECOMENDED THAT IFD/ATLAS POWER CONNECTIONS BE CONNECTED AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.

3 AIRCRAFT POWER INPUT TO THE IFD MAY BE 9-33 VDC.

  1. THE IFD SHOULD BE CONFIGURED FOR THE CORRECT LIGHTING BUS VOLTAGE POST-INSTALLATION. NO DAMAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE UNIT IS CONFIGURED INCORRECTLY. IN ADDITION, LIGHTING CAN BE SET TO AUTOMATICALLY COMPENSATE FOR AMBIENT LIGHTING CONDITIONS USING ITS LIGHT SENSOR. A MANUAL LIGHTING CONTROL OPTION IS ALSO AVAILABLE. REFER TO THE POST-INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE. LIGHTING BUS INPUTS ARE NOT DIFFERENTIAL. LIGHTING BUS LOW MUST BE TIED TO GROUND IN ALL CASES. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE IFD/ATLAS..

  2. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WIRE GAUGE INTO P1002 PINS IS 20 AWG. top

6 THE AIRCRAFT POWER INPUT P1006-44 PROVIDES POWER FOR THE VOR/LOC SUPERFLAG (P1006-15) AND GLIDESLOPE SUPERFLAG (P1006-38) OUTPUTS. NO POWER CONNECTION IS REQUIRED ON P1006-44 IF THESE FLAG OUTPUTS ARE NOT USED.

  1. THE GPS ANTENNA COAXIAL CABLE MUST BE DOUBLE OR TRIPLE SHIELDED AND THE LOSS (INCLUDING CONNECTORS) MUST BE GREATER THAN 1.5 dB AND LESS THAN 6.5 dB.

8 COMMANT CI1125 DIPLEXER, OR EQUIVALENT, SHOULD BE USED.

9 COMMANT CI507 DIPLEXER, OR EQUIVALENT, SHOULD BE USED.

10 ACFT PWR 1 IS INTERNALLY DIODE ISOLATED FROM ACFT PWR 2. ONLY ONE POWER INPUT IS REQUIRED FOR NORMAL OPERATION.

FOR THE MAIN POWER INPUT, A 14VDC INSTALLATION REQUIRED TWO AIRCRAFT POWER IPUTS AND TWO AIRCAFT GROUND CONNECTIONS BE USED FOR EACH MAIN POWER INPUT USED. A 28VDC INSTALLATION REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF ONE POWER AND GROUND CONNECTION, BUT TWO ARE RECOMMENDED.

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 2

THE SKYWATCH POWER SWITCH PINS, SHOWN ON P1, SHOULD BE CONNECTED TOGETHER TO TURN THE PROCESSOR UNIT ON AND DISCONNECTED TO TURN IT OFF. IF A SKYWATCH CONTROL/DISPLAY UNIT IS NOT IN THE INSTALLATION, A DEDICATED SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO TURN THE SKYWATCH PROCESSOR UNIT ON OR OFF.

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 3

THE AVIDYNE/RYAN TAS PROCESSOR SWITCH PIN (P1-16 OR P2-54) SHOULD BE GROUNDED TO TURN THE PROCESSOR UNIT ON, AND OPEN TO TURN THIS UNIT OFF. IF A RYAN TCAD DISPLAY UNIT IS NOT IN THE INSTALLATION, A DEDICATED SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO TURN THE TAS PROCESSOR UNIT ON AND OFF.

  1. IF ANY OF THESE TRAFFIC SYSTEMS ARE INSTALLED WITHOUT A CONTROL/DISPLAY UNIT, A PLACARD IS REQUIRED NEAR THE IFD UNIT, INDICATING THAT A TRAFFIC ADVISORY SYSTEM IS INSTALLED, AND ITS DATA MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE IFD5XX UNIT.

  2. REFER TO MANUFACTURER'S DOCUMENTATION FOR COMPLETE PINOUT AND INTERCONNECT INFORMATION. PINOUTS OF OTHER INPUTS SHOWN FOR REFERENCE ONLY.

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 4

IN ORDER FOR SKYWATCH DATA TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE IFD5XX UNIT'S MAP PAGE, THE IFD5XX UNIT MUST HAVE A DIGITAL HEADING SOURCE, OR THE SKYWATCH MUST HAVE A SYNCHRO OR SERIAL HEADING SOURCE. A STEPPER HEADING SOURCE WILL NOT ALLOW SKYWATCH DATA TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE MAP PAGE.

  1. AT IFD UNIT, TERMINATE SHIELD GROUNDS TO THE CONNECTOR BACKSHELL OR USE CARDEDGE CONNECTOR SHIELD GROUNDS TO AIRCRAFT CHASSIS WITH AS SHORT A CONDUCTOR AS PRACTICAL.

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 5

REFER TO SECTION 7.0 FOR ARINC 429 AND FOR RS-232 SETTINGS. IF AN ARINC 429 TRAFFIC SOURCE IS USED, THE CORRESPONDING ARINC 429 INPUT MUST BE SET TO HIGH SPEED.

THE FORWARD LOOKING TERRAIN ALERTING ON THE IFD DOES NOT SATISIFY ANY PART 91/135 REQUIREMENT FOR A TAWS SYSTEM. INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL ANNUNCIATOR IS NOT REQUIRED. TSO'D TAWS-B IS AVAILABLE AS A PAID OPTION FOR IFD 5XX AND ATLAS UNITS WITH SOFTWARE RELEASE 10.3.0.2 OR GREATER. IF FIXED WING TAWS-B IS ENABLED, EXTERNAL ANNUNCIATORS ARE REQUIRED IF THE IFD DOES NOT MEET THE FIELD OF VIEW REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN SECTION 5.1 OF THIS MANUAL

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 37
WHEN TWO TAWS-EQUIPPED UNITS ARE INSTALLED IN AN AIRCRAFT, ONLY ONE SHOULD UTILIZE P1001-52/53 TO AVOID COMPETING AUDIO MESSAGES.

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 38
CONNECT TO THE AUDIO INHIBIT INPUTS OF OTHER SYSTEMS WITH LOWER PRIORITY AURALS THAN TAWS. THIS CONNECTOR IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE IFD4XX.

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 39
SHIELDS FOR AUDIO CABLES SHOULD BE GROUNDED AT ONE END (WITH LEADS LESS THAN 3.0 INCHES) AND LEFT FLOATING AT THE OTHER END. IF SHIELDED AUDIO CABLE IS CARRIED THROUGH A DISCONNECT, CARRY SHIELD GROUND THROUGHOUT DISCONNECT ON A SEPARATE PIN.

Avidyne IFD550 - NOTES: - 40
OTHER UNSWITCHED INPUTS ON THE AUDIO PANEL MAY BE USED IN LIEU OF THOSE SHOWN. THESE CONNECTIONS ARE OPTIONAL FOR FLTA, BUT REQUIRED FOR FIXED WING TAWS-B ENABLEMENT

Appendix F: Configuration Setup

In order to support the requirements of some validations of the AML STC, this section should be easily removable and inserted into the aircraft logs.

For those installations where an IFD is replacing a GNS-530/W or GNS-430, please record the following parameters from the GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W setup pages before removing the unit (Note: this will need to be conducted for each GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W being replaced):

WAAS Enabled (530W or 430W with approved antenna)? Yes □ No □ 2nd unit: Yes □ No □ N/A □

530/W or 430/W Hardware Part Number and Revision Number (back of unit or aircraft logs) ____/____

530/W or 430/W Software Part Number ("Main SW Version" on start up splash screen) ____/____

If multiple GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W were installed, describe the slot/location that this specific unit was removed from.

Cockpit Location of Unit(s) in Question

Description of location/slot in the cockpit (Include rough sketch if deemed helpful)

Measure the distance from the ground to the top of the GPS antenna to nearest tenth of a foot, as shown in the image below, and enter the value in the box below: (to the nearest 1/10^th foot).

Measured Height of GPS Antenna

GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W Maintenance Mode Entry:

GNS-530 configuration data is accessed from the GNS-530/W Maintenance Mode settings which are entered via holding ENTR button on 530/W bezel during power application.

GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W Page Navigation:

Use the inner right knob on the GNS-530/W to scroll through the maintenance mode pages. Each clockwise click of the knob selects the next page. On pages where selectable fields exist, a push of the right knob will produce a flashing cursor. The outer right knob moves through the fields on a page when there is a flashing cursor. Twist the inner right knob clockwise to see a list of choices. Use the inner right knob to scroll through the list of choices and press the "ENT" button to select the desired choice.

IFD Maintenance Mode Entry:

IFD configuration data is accessed via Mx Mode which is entered by starting the IFD with a USB Fob already installed or selecting the AUX page, SYS tab, ensuring that the "Select" LSK = Software, and then pressing the "Download Logs" LSK, followed by the "Confirm" LSK. These tables contain all the data that can be entered at time of installation to ensure the IFD is properly configured. There are additional setup options that selectable by the pilot (Display Options on AUX Setup tab) that are not documented here.

IFD Page Navigation:

To reach the IFD pages on which this data is to be entered, select the CONFIG tab in Maintenance Mode. Use the outer right knob to select the page - each clockwise click of the outer right knob selects the next page in the list. Push the right knob in to generate a cursor and then use the outer right knob to select an individual field with the cursor. Then twist the inner right knob to scroll through the selectable options for that field and push in the right knob when done with each field selection.

For retrofit installations (those installations in which an IFD is replacing a GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W), enter the data in the following tables/menu pages from the corresponding fields recorded below in the GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W tables on the left side of each page. Repeat for each retrofit IFD.

For new installations (those installations in which an IFD is NOT replacing a GNS-530/W or GNS-430/W), select and record the appropriate settings for each configuration page per the descriptive material below each table.
