An integral GPS Steering (GPSS) function can drive your autopilot in HDG mode through most GPS flight plan legs and course changes, and even along curved flight paths (like course reversals and holding patterns) when connected to an appropriate WAAS GPS navigator.
You'll lose no functionality when replacing your mechanical HSI and ADI, and may gain some. The Pro couples to most GA autopilots and flight directors, through its included Analog Converter Unit (ACU). You'll get an alert when you reach barometric minimums, and a DH annunciator will illuminate at AGL minimums (when connected to a radar altimeter). In approach mode, you'll have lateral and vertical deviation indicators, along with your approach minimums, right there on the ADI for a tight scan during this critical phase of flight. The Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) shows the same accurate attitude with airspeed and altitude tapes as the Pilot, and adds more. With optional software, you can even overlay datalink weather graphics and traffic on the map. Text information about your active waypoint is right there in front of you.Īrc mode is ideal for the en-route segment, showing your own ship at the bottom of the screen, your flight plan legs ahead of you, and nearby navaids and airports around you on a moving map. The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) integrates a course pointer and course deviation indicator (CDI) onto your slaved compass rose, and adds two bearing pointers that you can set to any VOR or GPS waypoint, for added situational awareness (and making DME arcs a breeze to fly!). The Pro has all the same great features as the Pilot "integral ADAHRS, backup battery, emergency GPS, altitude alerter" plus a whole lot more. The EFD1000 Pro PFD gives you all the major tools that help professional pilots fly safely and easily in instrument conditions, at a breakthrough price. Initial AML-STC additions will include popular Class III airframes with Vne/Vno speeds of 270 kts or below.Īspen will continue to add additional airframes to the AML with greater than 270 kts Vne/Vno speeds and will keep you updated accordingly.
However, the software used in the EFD1000C3 has been further qualified to RTCA DO-178, Level B which is needed for installations on Part 23, Class III Aircraft (typically those aircraft weighing over 6,000 pounds and not classified as "Commuter Category"). It offers all the same features and benefits of the current EFD1000 Pro PFD System. This unit must be installed by Pacific Coast Avionics.Īspen Electronic Flight Display for Class III AircraftĪspen Avionics new EFD1000C3 Pro PFD System.
