PFD Menu

The PFD Menu is accessible from the Main Menu by pressing PFD (MAIN MENU > PFD). Users
can reset the baro, toggle Synthetic Vision on or off, and configure the bearing and NAV
sources.

Back

Press BACK to return to the Main Menu.

G Meter

Press G METER to toggle the G Meter on and off. When the G Meter is displayed, it replaces the
HSI/Compass Rose, though numerical magnetic heading above the HSI area remains. The G
Meter shows an analog “needle” that indicates the instantaneous G loading of the aircraft.
Depending on how the G Meter is configured, the analog range may have yellow and/or red
caution ranges configured to visually indicate aircraft G limits are being approached.
Instantaneous G information is also shown digitally in the center of the gauge.

Figure 58 - G Meter on PFD

The smaller digital numbers above and below the larger instantaneous G number are the
maximum and minimum Gs that the aircraft has experienced since the G Meter was last reset.
Press PFD > RESET G to manually reset the G Meter. The G Meter may also be set up to
automatically reset the min/max G readings every time SkyView starts up.

The G Meter can also be configured to “pop up” automatically under certain conditions. When
configured this way, the G Meter will appear automatically when the aircraft’s instantaneous G
loads exceed thresholds that have been selected. Once the G Meter has appeared, it will
remain on the display until the instantaneous aircraft G loading falls back below those
thresholds.

See the SkyView System Installation Guide for further information about G Meter configuration.
