Because the GMU 11 is connected to the CAN bus network, a single magnetometer can supply heading information to 2 G5 units simultaneously.īy installing dual G5 displays in your panel, you not only gain dedicated instruments for attitude reference and directional gyro/HSI guidance - you also gain the advantages of backup redundancy with dual ADAHRS and reversionary display capability. And you can use the G5 instrument’s rotary knob to easily make and adjust course selections - or to control heading bug settings in DG installations. The unit displays both vertical and lateral GPS/VOR/LOC course deviation when available (additional equipment may be required). When paired with an affordable GMU 11 magnetometer and select VHF Nav/Comms or GPS navigators (interfaced with optional GAD 29 navigation data adapter), G5 can serve as your primary reference source for magnetic heading, VOR/LOC guidance and/or GPS course guidance - as well as providing distance and groundspeed indications. To provide even more situational awareness, the G5 instrument can also function as a DG or HSI in your panel. Plus, a dedicated rotary knob on the unit allows for easy adjustments to altitude bugs and barometric pressure settings. A built-in GPS receiver and antenna (with an option for external GPS antenna connection) provides highly accurate groundspeed and ground track readouts. In addition to aircraft attitude, G5 will also support display of airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, slip/skid, turn rate, configurable V-speed references, barometric setting and selected altitude - as well as visual alerts upon arriving at a preselected altitude. When configured as a primary attitude indicator, G5 uses solid-state AHRS reference to provide smooth, steady and reliable horizon-based pitch and roll indications.
By combining visual cues and data readouts once scattered across a myriad of instruments, G5 makes flight information easier to scan - so pilots can respond more quickly and intuitively to any inflight situation.
VHF or GPS navigation inputs are required to drive the HSI display for GPS interface, an optional GAD™ 29 navigation data adapter is required. G5 has 2 pilot-selectable main page formats: a PFD page and a DG (directional gyro) or HSI (horizontal situation indicator) page.
The crisp, sunlight-readable 3.5” LCD fits into a standard 3-1/8” round cutout, taking up just a fraction of the space and weight previously required by conventional gyro-based instruments. Designed by our dedicated “Team X” engineering group specifically for the experimental amateur-built (EAB) and light sport aircraft (LSA) markets, the affordable G5 electronic flight instrument delivers exceptional performance, reliability and ease of installation as an all-in-one backup or primary “glass cockpit” display.
