Jan 17, 2018 · When installing the "certified" way, you select the installation type to "certified instrument" which disables some of the stuff that the experimental are allowed to do (like the large HSI) and when installing as an AI per STC you have to disable the switching between AI and HSI on the G5 installed as an AI. The HSI is configured to boot as an ...

Mar 26, 2020 · Flying a charted DME arc means simply keeping the CDI centered. It's actually just as easy to use the GTN's "default nav" display with a XTRK field enabled. And if I use NAV mode on my autopilot (which is not GPSS enabled yet, not until the G5 HSI is added) it'll even fly it, fairly precisely. So yes, the G5 works the same way.

Jun 24, 2015 · Thanks for sharing this. I have one G5 at present and I'm looking forward to adding a G5 for HSI in the next few months. I'm especially excited about the GAD29B for GPSS in conjunction with my GTN650. It will breathe new life into my old analog autopilot (which I feel is simply too costly to upgrade, and besides, it works pretty well as it is.)

Nov 5, 2017 · G5 Install manual states "The G5 can also replace existing vacuum driven DGs or existing HSI’s, either standalone or in combination with a G5 attitude display" also states "1.6.2.5 Backup Attitude Indicator function- All of the functions listed in 1.6.1 are also available by selecting the G5 HSI Menu via the knob and selecting PFD."

Oct 17, 2017 · G5 as direction gyro, that's it, no HSI and no GAD needed. G5 as HSI, GA29 is required to display navigation data, will not interface with autopilot for heading G5 as HSI with legacy autopilot interface via GAD29B. These are not available or approved yet. All this will do is give you the additional option to drive an autopilot with heading bug.

Nov 4, 2015 · The G5 has a GS needle, so you would be able to fly ILS, LPV, and LNAV/VNAV approaches just fine. It appears on the right side of the display. Random picture from the internet:

Oct 31, 2016 · FWIW, my G5 HSI doesn't power on reliably as the G5 PFD. Typically, if I'm getting in the plane for the first time in a week or whatever, they both come on as they're supposed to. But if I'm in there screwing around with settings, or fiddling with switches, turning them off and back on, the HSI won't turn on simultaneously with the PFD and ...

Aug 21, 2008 · The HSI display is "advisory only", and works only for RNAV, not for VNAV. It's too bad. I was excited about the AV-30 at first--because of the round form-factor--but it turns out the certified version will be almost as expensive as a G5, but will do a lot less (no GPSS, no CDI, no heading output to the A/P, no magnetometer option, etc).

Oct 31, 2016 · With a dual G5 setup I experienced the same issue with the AI. It appears to have happened when I didn't give it the opportunity to fully boot up before turning power off (master switch on to check fuel level, and then back off too quickly for …

Jul 5, 2013 · The G5 HSI should be more accurate, and the used market for G106A's has softened slightly, but still worth $1500-1800 used. Ask the av shop if the source system has enough current for both, I'm guessing the STC proscribes a specific installation that does not option both in parallel.
