Aspen Avionics, Inc.
1. YOUR WARRANTY. Aspen Avionics, Inc. (“Aspen”) warrants
to you, the original purchaser, that its Products (if purchased from an
authorized dealer) will comply with applicable specifications (as set
forth in the owner’s manual) in all material respects and will be free from
material defects in workmanship or materials for a period of twentyfour
(24) months beginning with the date that the aircraft in which the
Product has been installed has been returned to service following
installation by an Aspen authorized dealer (“Return to Service Date”).
“Product”means new end equipment or hardware items, replaceable
units and components of those units.
2. YOUR REMEDY. During the term of this warranty, Aspen will
repair or replace, at its discretion, without charge (see Section 13 below
for information on covered transportation costs), any Product that does
not comply with the warranty of Section 1 above (a“Nonconforming
Product”), so long as the warranty claim is timely submitted and the
procedures in Section 14 (below) are followed. Aspen warrants repaired
and/or replacement items only for the unexpired portion of the original
warranty period, or, if the warranty has expired, for six months from
Aspen’s shipment of the repaired or replacement Product.
3. CONDITIONS TO COVERAGE. Aspen’s obligation under this
warranty is conditioned on your fulfillment of the obligation to:

instructions as set forth in the owner’s manual,

EFD1000 PRO MAX PFD Pilot’s Guide
Page xi 091-00005-002 ()
F. Accident, contamination, damage from a foreign object or
weather conditions, abuse, misuse, neglect, or negligence,
G. Exposure of the product or the product’s host medium to any
computer virus or other intentionally disruptive, destructive, or
disabling computer code, and
H. Any damage precipitated by failure of a product Aspen has
supplied that is not under warranty or by any product supplied
by someone else.
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 certifies 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 certificate 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.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ASPEN’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY
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.

EFD1000 PRO MAX PFD Pilot’s Guide Page xii 091-00005-002 ()
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 different from those stated herein that is
offered by a dealer (“Dealer Warranty”) will be the sole responsibility
of the dealer, who will be solely responsible for all liability, loss, cost,
damage, or expense arising out of or in connection with any such Dealer
Warranty. Although Aspen provides training and assistance to dealers,
it cannot control the installation of its Products by its dealers, which are
independent businesses not owned or controlled by Aspen.
13. TRANSPORTATION COSTS. Aspen will assume round
trip transportation costs for a Product determined by Aspen to be a
Nonconforming Product in an amount not to exceed normal (non
express) shipping charges within the continental United States. You
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,

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 flight. They should not be used for
actual flights.
Most of the example graphics and screen shots used throughout this Pilot’s Guide
& Reference are based on flying 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 flying in actual
instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). To reduce pilot workload, the use of an
autopilot (when available) is strongly encouraged.

Welcome and Introduction
Welcome to Aspen Avionics’Evolution Flight Display (EFD) system,
the most flexible, expandable, and upgradable Electronic Flight
Instrument System (EFIS) available for General Aviation aircraft. The
EFD system is designed to replace traditional, mechanical primary
flight instruments— in whole or in part, all at once, or in phases. This
modularity and upgradability allow the system to grow with you and
your airplane, over time and affordably.
The EFD system is built around the EFD1000 Pro MAX PFD, which
replaces a vertical pair of your six primary flight instruments. The PFD
has a bright, high-resolution, six-inch diagonal LCD display, and several
knobs, buttons, and keys the pilot uses to control the system. The
three-inch diameter, four-inch deep can on the back of the display
slides into existing panel cutouts (where the top mechanical instrument
used to be).

The center of the EFD System is the EFD1000 Pro MAX Primary Flight Display (PFD),
which replaces the traditional mechanical Attitude Indicator (AI) and Directional Gyro
(DG) or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) (Figure 1-2).
Add a second EFD1000 configured as a Multi-Function Display (MFD) (Figure 1-3),
replacing the Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI), and you’ll double the
capabilities of your system, while also providing complete redundancy and backup to
your PFD. The EFD1000 MFD contains the same AHRS, ADC, and I/O capabilities as the
PFD for full redundancy and can assume the role of the PFD should it ever fail.

Adding another MFD, replacing the Airspeed Indicator (ASI) and Turn Coordinator,
to round out a complete six-pack replacement and gain even more capability and
flexibility (Figure 1-4). When you are ready to upgrade, simply contact an Aspen
Avionics Authorized Dealer for more information. .
This Pilot’s Guide covers the EFD1000 Pro MAX PFD model. This system is powerfully
flexible, and can be configured in a variety of ways, depending on the other aircraft
systems with which they are integrated.

NOTE
Please spend some time with your avionics installer to understand exactly how your PFD
is installed and configured in your particular aircraft, to understand the features and
capabilities available to you, and to understand how various aircraft system failures
and abnormalities may affect your PFD.

1.1 System Overview
The PFD system typically consists of four components:
1. EFD1000 Pro MAX Display Unit (PFD)
2. Configuration Module (CM)
3. Remote Sensor Module (RSM)
4. Analog Converter Unit (ACU)1
The ACU converts older analog signals and interfaces to the
industry-standard digital ARINC 429 interface, which is the
native language of the PFD. In some installations, generally
when the aircraft is not equipped with an autopilot and has
only digital GPS/Nav/Comm, the ACU may be omitted.
The system architecture in (Figure 1-5) shows the
relationships of the PFD, RSM, CM and ACU.

1.1.1 Primary Flight Display Unit (PFD)
The Primary Flight Display Unit (PFD) is a digital system that consists of a high
resolution, six-inch diagonal color LCD display, user controls, photocell, and microSD
data card slot. The three-inch diameter, four-inch deep can on the back of the display
contains a non-removable electronics module that includes:
• A Sensor Board with solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) and
digital Air Data Computer (ADC)
• A Main Application Processor (MAP) board with Central Processing Unit (CPU),
graphics processor and system memory
• An Input-Output Processor (IOP) board for integrating communications with other
aircraft systems
•
Also on the rear of the unit (Figure 1-6) are:
• An access cover for removing and replacing the built-in backup battery
• Pneumatic connections to the aircraft’s pitot and static systems
• 44-pin D-sub connector for electrical connections to the PFD
• A cooling fan, to cool the electronics and LCD backlights
The PFD mounts to the front surface of the instrument panel using the standard
installation kit; an optional flush-mount installation kit is also available.
