1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1 G5 Electronic Flight Instrument
The G5 Electronic Flight Instrument contains integrated attitude/air data sensors that provide
display of attitude and secondary display of airdata information. TheG5 features a bright, sunlight
readable, 3.5-inch color display. In the case of aircraft power loss, the G5 battery sustains the
G5 flight display with up to 4 hours of power.

2 OPERATION
2.1 G5 Annunciations
When a G5 function fails, a large red ‘X’ is displayed over the instrument(s) or data experiencing
the failure. Upon G5 power-up, certain instruments remain invalid as equipment begins to
initialize. All instruments should be operational within one minute of power-up. If any instrument
remains flagged and it is not likely an installation related problem, the G5 should be serviced by
a Garmin-authorized repair facility.
G5 Failure Indications
2.2 G5 Attitude
The G5 calculates aircraft attitude using information from its built-in inertial sensors. The G5 also
uses GPS and airspeed data to provide the most accurate attitude information. The G5 should
display valid attitude within the first minute of power-up.
If the G5 senses that the attitude solution is valid, but not yet within the internal accuracy limits,
"ALIGNING" is displayed. The displayed attitude information is still accurate and usable while
this indication is shown. The G5 can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.

If the G5 senses that the attitude solution is invalid, “ALIGNING KEEP WINGS LEVEL” is
displayed. No attitude information is displayed while this indication is shown. The G5 can align
itself both while taxiing and during level flight.
Attitude Aligning Keep Wings Level Indication
If the G5 inertial sensors fail, “ATTITUDE FAIL” is displayed in addition to a red-X flag. No attitude
information is displayed while this indication is shown.
Attitude Failure Indication
2.3 Backlight Intensity
When set to Auto, the backlight is automatically adjusted according to ambient light conditions.
When set to Manual, the backlight level is set by the pilot.
Adjusting backlight intensity:
1) While the unit is turned on, press the Power Button.
2) Turn the Knob to adjust the backlight intensity.
3) Press the Knob to close the backlight page.
Setting the backlight intensity to automatic:
1) While the unit is turned on, press the Power Button.
2) Press the
Power Button again to select Auto.
3) Press the Knob to close the backlight page.

3.3.1 Airspeed Indicator
NOTE:
The G5 Vspeed Reference values depend upon the aircraft’s specific system configuration and
may vary from the examples discussed in this section.
The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The
numeric labels and major tick marks on the moving tape are marked at intervals of 10 MPH or
KT, as indicated at bottom of airspeed tape). The actual airspeed is displayed inside the black
pointer. The pointer remains black until reaching never-exceed speed (VNE), at which point it
turns red.
A color-coded (red, white, green, yellow, and red/white “barber pole”) speed range strip is located
on the moving tape. The colors denote flaps operating range, normal operating range, caution
range, and never-exceed speed (VNE). A red range is also present for low speed awareness.
The Airspeed Trend Vector is a vertical, magenta line, extending up or down on the airspeed
scale, shown to the right of the color-coded speed range strip. The end of the trend vector
corresponds to the predicted airspeed in 6 seconds if the current rate of acceleration is
maintained. If the trend vector crosses VNE, the text of the actual airspeed readout changes to
yellow. The trend vector is absent if the speed remains constant or if any data needed to calculate
airspeed is not available due to a system failure.

3.3.2 Vspeed Reference
Vspeed references including VNE, Vno, Vso, Vs1, Vfe, Va, Vx, Vy, VYse, Vg, Vr, are displayed
on the G5 (as configured during installation.)
When airspeed is present, the Vspeeds configured are displayed at their respective locations to
the right of the airspeed scale; otherwise, the Vspeeds are displayed at the bottom of the airspeed
indicator.

3.3.3 Attitude Indicator
Attitude information is displayed over a virtual blue sky and brown ground with a white horizon
line. The Attitude Indicator displays the pitch (indicated by the yellow symbolic aircraft on the
pitch scale), roll, and slip/skid information.
The horizon line is part of the pitch scale. Pitch markings occur at 2.5˚intervals through all pitch
ranges. When the aircraft enters an unusual pitch attitude, red extreme pitch warning chevrons
pointing toward the horizon are displayed on the Attitude Indicator starting at 60˚above and 40˚
below the horizon line.
The inverted white triangle indicates zero on the roll scale. Major tick marks at 30˚and 60˚and
minor tick marks at 10˚, 20˚, and 45˚are shown to the left and right of the zero. Angle of bank is
indicated by the position of the pointer on the roll scale.
Slip/skid is indicated by the location of the ball.

3.3.4 Altimeter
The Altimeter displays 400 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a rolling number gauge
using a moving tape. Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet.
Minor tick marks are at intervals of 20 feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer.
The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug
symbol. A bug corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape. If the Selected Altitude
exceeds the range shown on the tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape.
Setting the selected altitude:
1) Press the Knob to display the Menu.
2) Select
Altitude and use the Knob to change the Selected Altitude.
Syncing to the current altitude:
1) Press the Knob to display the Menu.
2) Select
Altitude and press and hold the Knob to sync the Selected Altitude to the current
altitude.

3.3.6 Altitude Alerting
The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with a visual alert when approaching the Selected
Altitude. Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. The following
will occur when approaching the Selected Altitude:
• Passing within 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown above
the Altimeter) flashes for 5 seconds.
• When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude
flashes for 5 seconds to indicate that the aircraft is approaching the selected altitude.
• After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation band (±200
Feet of the Selected Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to yellow text on a black
background, flashes for 5 seconds.
