  1. Introduction to the glass cockpit Peter Long, CFI, CFII, MEI plong@outback-aviation.com

  2. Agenda • Today’s new systems – G1000, Avidyne etc. • Considerations & terminology • Compare and contrast • Demonstration – G1000 simulator • Final thoughts • Questions

  3. Cessna 182 – Garmin 1000

  4. Diamond DA40 – Garmin 1000

  5. Diamond DA40 – Avidyne

  6. Cirrus - Avidyne

  7. Agenda • Today’s new systems – G1000, Avidyne etc. • Considerations & terminology • Compare and contrast • Demonstration – G1000 simulator • Final thoughts • Questions

  8. Considerations • Avidyne or G-1000 ? • Is an all-glass panel safer than a conventional panel ? • How much training is required to be competent and safe ? • What happens when the panels go dark? We’ll come back to discuss these important questions later on

  9. Terminology • TAA – Technically Advanced Aircraft • PFD – Primary Flight Display • MFD – Multi-Function Display • FITS – FAA Industry Training Standards (e.g. TAA with PFD/MFD) • ADAHRS or ADAHARS – Air Data Altitude Heading and Reference System • GPS – Global Positioning System • GPSS – GPS Steering

  10. Agenda • Today’s new systems – G1000, Avidyne etc. • Considerations & terminology • Compare and contrast • Demonstration – G1000 simulator • Final thoughts • Questions

  11. Avidyne PFD • The Avidyne PFD incorporates the functionality of: • Airspeed Indicator • Attitude Indicator • Altimeter • VSI • HSI (HI & VOR/LOC)

  12. Avidyne – PFD(2) • The display is integrated with an Air Data / Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) • Three axis solid state gyro system • Provides: • Pitch • Roll • Heading

  13. Avidyne – PFD(3) • Turn Coordinator • Scale show extending from either side of digital heading representation • Graduations for half and full standard rate turn • Blue bar extends into scale as turn is entered

  14. Avidyne – PFD(4) • Inclinometer • Represented as black trapezoid below angle of bank indicator

  15. G-1000 PFD

  16. Differences • G1000 has speed bugs • Vr, Vx, Vy, and Vg (best glide) • G1000 CDI has “memory” of the course for each selection (Avidyne does not) • G1000 has map / FPL inset, Avidyne overlays course on HIS • Avidyne integrates altitude / VSI with AP (G1000 – future) • G1000 arc mode is horrible

  17. Avidyne MFD • The Avidyne MFD supports: • Map/Terrain/Nearest • Engine Management • Fuel Management • Lean Assist • Traffic • Stormscope

  18. MFD - Nearest Page • Separate database to support this

  19. MFD – Engine Management • All important engine, fuel, and electrical information on a single page • Use in run-up • Use on takeoff

  20. MFD – Lean Assist

  21. G-1000 MFD

  22. G-1000 Reversionary Mode

  23. Differences • G1000 integrates GPS into the unit (Avidyne uses external G430s) • Avidyne MFD needs separate database update • G1000 have TIS • G1000 can reboot in flight • Avidyne implementations can have electronic charts (G1000 future), better integrated fuel management, and engine leaning functions • G1000 is 1024x768, Avidyne is 800x600 • G1000 MFD can show PFD info in failure mode

  24. Agenda • Today’s new systems – G1000, Avidyne etc. • Considerations & terminology • Compare and contrast • Demonstration – G1000 simulator • Final thoughts • Questions

  25. Agenda • Today’s new systems – G1000, Avidyne etc. • Considerations & terminology • Compare and contrast • Demonstration – G1000 simulator • Final thoughts • Questions

  26. Area navigation computers Electronic flight instruments Moving map displays Flight directors Autopilots TCAS Terrain data

  27. Learning vs. Understanding Importance of understanding: • Better able to solve novel problems • Better memory for procedures • Learn procedures faster Limits on understanding: Impossible to understand everything about a complex automation system. Why did it do that? What’s it doing now? What’s it going to do next?

  28. Resource Management, Workload Tendency for pilots to use automation just because they have it. Choosing the right level of automation based on circumstances “Turn it off” training Automation can decrease and increase workload.

  29. Losing skills “Use it or lose it” Hand-flying skills atrophy when automation is overused. Automation skills atrophy when automation is underused. Look out the window !!

  30. Any questions ?
