5. INVALIDATION OF WARRANTY. This warranty is void if the
product is altered or repair is attempted or made by anyone other than
Aspen or its authorized service center.
6. WARRANTY CARD. The Return to Service Date must be
included in an accurately completed Aspen warranty application form
submitted by the installing authorized dealer within 30 days of the
Return to Service Date. The warranty application must be signed by the
authorized repairman who certies that the equipment has been safely
and properly installed in accordance with all Aspen supplied technical
information and in accordance with all applicable FAA procedures and
requirements. The warranty application form must note the repairman’s
FAA certicate number to be valid. FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND RETURN
THE WARRANTY CARD MAY RESULT IN DENIAL OF WARRANTY CLAIMS.
MAKING CERTAIN THAT THE WARRANTY CARD IS COMPLETED, SIGNED,
AND RETURNED IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
7. SOLE REMEDY. Aspen’s sole obligation, and your
exclusive remedy under this warranty, is limited to either the repair
or replacement, at Aspen’s option, of any Nonconforming Product as
provided herein.
8. EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY. THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE
AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER IMPLIED WARRANTIES
(STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) EXPIRE AT THE END OF THE WARRANTY
PERIOD PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 1.
Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
9. INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. ASPEN SHALL NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS,
LOSS OF REVENUES, OR LOSS OF USE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION),
EVEN IF ASPEN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR CERTAINTY
OF THOSE DAMAGES OR IF ASPEN COULD HAVE REASONABLY
FORESEEN THOSE DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so the preceding limitations may not apply to you.

HEREUNDER, WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), INDEMNITY, OR OTHERWISE, WILL
NOT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY YOU FOR THE WARRANTED PRODUCT.
THE EXCLUSIONS OF TYPES OF DAMAGES CONTAINED HEREIN WILL BE
DEEMED INDEPENDENT OF, AND WILL SURVIVE, ANY FAILURE OF THE
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY UNDER THE TERMS OF
ANY AGREEMENT.

11. EXTENSION OF WARRANTY. No extension of this warranty
will be binding upon Aspen unless set forth in writing and signed by
Aspen’s authorized representative.
12. DEALER WARRANTIES. Any express or implied warranty
or remedy in addition to or dierent from those stated herein that is

are responsible for all import/export fees, taxes, duties, customs,
documentation fees, clearance fees, and similar fees and charges.
You may contact Aspen to obtain a freight courier account number
for prepaid shipping of the return. If Aspen subsequently determines
that the Product is not a Nonconforming Product, that this warranty
is inapplicable, that the Product is out of warranty, that the defect or
malfunction is excluded from coverage, or that the warranty is invalid,
Aspen will invoice you for repair or replacement costs and the shipping
costs. Risk of loss or damage for any Product in transit will be borne by
the party initiating the transportation.
14. WARRANTY PROCEDURE. If you require warranty service,
you may contact your local Aspen Authorized Dealer or you may
contact Aspen directly as described below. An original or copy of
the sales receipt from the original Aspen Authorized dealer will be
required to obtain any warranty service. You may contact Aspen for
warranty service directly by calling Aspen Customer Service at (505)
856-5034; by writing to Aspen Customer Service Department, Aspen
Avionics, Inc., 5001 Indian School Road NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico,

NOTE
As the number of colors used on the display is limited, to ensure adequate color
dierentiation under all lighting conditions, there are a few cases where a given color is
used in a slightly dierent context than described in Table 2.

Color Philosophy
Table 2 provides the operational philosophy of color usage on the PFD display.
COLOR PURPOSE COLOR PURPOSE
RED
Used to indicate ight envelope and system limits, and
for warning annunciations that require immediate pilot
recognition and which may require immediate pilot
correction or compensatory action. Red is used to indicate
Data Link Weather precipitation areas.
GREEN
Used for navigation information or mode data related to
or provided by the navigation source currently selected for
display on the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) (i.e., navigation
deviations, equipment operating state, waypoint information).
Green is also used to indicate Data Link Weather precipitation
areas and the status of user controls (i.e., ON, enabled, or
active).
AMBER
Used to indicate abnormal information sources, and for
caution information that requires immediate pilot awareness
and for which subsequent pilot action may be required.
Amber is used to indicate Data Link Weather precipitation
areas.
WHITE Used to show primary ight data (e.g., IAS, ALT, HDG), scales,
and Menu items that are selectable for editing.
MAGENTA
Used for pilot-selectable references (bugs) enabled for editing,
for depicting the active GPS navigation leg on a moving map
display, and for depicting the ight director bar.
GRAY Used to show supplemental ight data, and for Hot Key and
Menu legends that are OFF, disabled, or inactive.
CYAN
Used to indicate editable values that are not currently selected
for editing. CYAN is also used to display bearing pointers,
proximity and other trac icons, and GPS track marker.
BLUE Used to indicate the sky and Data Link Weather precipitation
areas.
BROWN Used to indicate the ground.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
Where applicable warnings, cautions, and notes are given. Aspen Avionics uses the
following icons and denitions (Table 3).
Icon Denition
Warning
Emphasizes a crucial operating or maintenance procedure, which, if not
strictly observed, could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or long
term health hazards.
Indicates a hazard that may require immediate corrective action.
Caution
Indicates an essential operating or maintenance procedure, which,
if not strictly observed, could result in damage to, or destruction of,
equipment.
Indicates the possible need for future corrective action.
Note
Highlights an important operating or maintenance procedure,
condition, or statement.
Safe operation.

Example Graphics
The example graphics and screen shots used throughout this Pilot’s Guide are provided
for reference only and are taken from a simulated ight. They should not be used for
actual ights.
Most of the example graphics and screen shots used throughout this Pilot’s Guide
& Reference are based on ying the ILS 16R instrument approach into Reno/Tahoe
International Airport (KRNO) in Reno, Nevada, USA. Those images with the airplane in
a right bank show the airplane completing the procedure turn in-bound to intercept
the Localizer, descending through 8,660 feet to the target altitude of 8,500 feet. The
other main group of images, showing the airplane straight and level, are earlier in the
approach, tracking outbound for the procedure turn.
Pilot Familiarity
While the PFD is reasonably intuitive and easy to use, some familiarity with Electronic
Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) and Horizontal Situation Indicators (HSI) is required.
Aspen Avionics strongly recommends that new users of the PFD get some dual
instruction from an experienced instrument CFI, and spend some time becoming
familiar with the PFD in day VFR conditions with a safety pilot, before ying in actual
instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). To reduce pilot workload, the use of an
autopilot (when available) is strongly encouraged.

Information Covered in this Pilot’s Guide
This Pilot’s Guide covers all the features and options available for an EFD1000H PFD.
Because of individual conguration and options purchased, some features may not be
available on your particular PFD.
Additionally, the Pilot PFD model does not oer the following Pro PFD features:
• Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)
• Dual Bearing Pointers
• Lateral and Vertical Deviation Indicators
• Minimums
• GPS and VLOC Navigation ARINC 429 Interface
• GPS Steering (GPSS)
• Optional Lightning
• Optional Weather
NOTE
The Pilot PFD supports the display of ight plan and
background navigation data from RS-232 or
ARINC 429 GPS interfaces.
NOTE
The Pilot PFD does not support the display of lateral
or vertical deviations from RS-232 or ARINC 429 GPS
interfaces.
The Pilot PFD does not support the display of lateral or
vertical deviations from an ARINC 429, or Analog VLOC
interface.
