10. FLIGHT COMPARTMENT, INSTRUMENTATION AND AVIONICS
(Continued)
F. Air Data and Attitude information
The pitot-static system includes two electrically heated
pitot and static sources. Each is cross-plumbed into dual
air data computers (ADCs) located in the forward nose
behind the radar bulkhead. The ADCs perform source
error corrections and calculate indicated airspeed, true
airspeed, mach number, vertical speed, density altitude,
pressure altitude, and total temperature for output to the
Interface Adapters and the PFDs.
In addition, ADC output is received by the Attitude and
Heading Reference Systems (AHRS). Two solid state
digital AHRS reside behind the MFD and are each tied to
the three-axis magnetometers located in the tail. The
AHRS are capable of in-flight and on-the-move initializa-
tion. Output from the AHRS is received and processed
by the Interface Adapter Units and the PFDs. The sys-
tem meets RVSM requirements.
Input from an electrically heated stall warning vane on
the right side of the forward cabin is processed by the
Interface Adapter Units for display on the PFDs and for
input to the aural warning system.
G. VHF Communications Transceivers
Dual VHF communications transceivers are part of the
Interface Adapter units and produce 16 watts of trans-
mission power. They are compliant with European 8.33
kHz channel spacing requirements. Tuning and man-
agement is accomplished through dual touch screen
GTC 570 controllers. There is also an emergency radio
tuning switch located on the right side tilt panel that will
tune the VHF radio to 121.5 bypassing all other tuning
controls.
H. Remote Audio Processor
Dual GMA 36 Remote Audio Processors controlled
through the dual GTC 570 touch screen controllers pro-
vide transmitter section for microphone inputs and direct
audio outputs from all receivers to the speakers and/or
headphones at each crew station. The system includes
crew and cabin intercom and the ability to record and
playback up to 2 ½ minutes of incoming audio. Two
handheld microphones are connected to the audio
processors and installed on each of the control columns.
I. Navigation
Dual Garmin navigation receivers located in the
Interface Adapter Units provide VOR, Localizer and
Glideslope functions. The Marker Beacon receivers are
integrated into the Audio Processors. Navigation infor-
mation is displayed on both PFDs and the reversionary
mode of the MFD. Tuning and management is accom-
plished through the dual touch screen controllers.
J. Global Positioning System (GPS)
Each Interface Adapter Unit includes a WAAS capable
GPS receiver. Both receivers are capable of monitoring
12 channels to provide satellite-based position data for
use by the FMS.
K. Flight Management System (FMS)
The Garmin FMS provides a multiple waypoint naviga-
tion solution suitable for enroute, terminal, and WAAS
precision approach navigation. The touch screen con-
trollers (GTC570) on the pedestal are the FMS interface
to the MFD. It includes controls for selection and manip-
ulation of moving map functions such as range and pan.
Each PFD calculates and displays the current flight plan
using the onside GPS sensor. Automatic GPS sensor
reversion occurs in the event the onside sensor is
degraded or failed.
Airway flight planning, plain language identifiers, airport
communication and navigation frequency lookup fea-
tures are included. Flight plans may be created, stored,
accessed, and activated as needed and are shown on
the MFD moving map. Both lateral and vertical modes
(to the final approach fix) may be displayed and coupled
to the autopilot. Present position referenced geopolitical
and airspace boundaries, and airways may be overlaid
on any of the FMS map formats.
Precision guidance from the FMS meets the operational
requirements of oceanic/remote, NAT MNPS, RNP10,
and RNP5/BRNAV. The navigation database requires
periodic updates via subscription and must be uploaded
to the aircraft through the upper SD flash card port on
each of the three displays.
L. Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)
Automatic flight control is provided in the M2 by the
Garmin GFC 700 system. The autopilot system (AP)
includes dual flight director computers (integrated in the
Interface Adapter Units), a single Garmin Mode
Controller (GMC 710), and four electric servos for roll,
yaw, pitch, and pitch trim.
