Manufactured by ASPEN
AVIONICS the EFD1000 Pro PFD gives you all
the major tools that
help professional pilots fly safely and easily in instrument
conditions, at a breakthrough price. The Pro has all the same
great features as the Pilot PFD—integral ADAHRS, backup
battery, emergency GPS, altitude alerter—plus a whole lot
more.
The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) integrates a
course pointer and course deviation indicator (CDI) onto your
slaved compass rose, and adds two bearing pointers that you
can set to any VOR or GPS waypoint, for added situational
awareness (and making DME arcs a breeze to fly!). Text
information about your active waypoint is right there in front
of you.
Arc mode is ideal for the en-route segment, showing your
own ship at the bottom of the screen, your flight plan legs
ahead of you, and nearby navaids and airports around you on a
moving map. With optional software, you can even overlay datalink weather graphics and traffic on the map.
The Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) shows the same
accurate attitude with airspeed and altitude tapes as the
Pilot, and adds more. In approach mode, you’ll have lateral
and vertical deviation indicators, along with your approach
minimums, right there on the ADI for a tight scan during this
critical phase of flight. You’ll get an alert when you reach
barometric minimums, and a DH annunciator will illuminate at
AGL minimums (when connected to a radar altimeter).
The Pro couples to most GA autopilots and flight directors,
through its included Analog Converter Unit (ACU). You’ll lose
no functionality when replacing your mechanical HSI and ADI,
and may gain some. An integral GPS Steering (GPSS) function
can drive your autopilot in HDG mode through most GPS flight
plan legs and course changes, and even along curved flight
paths (like course reversals and holding patterns) when
connected to an appropriate WAAS GPS navigator. If your
autopilot supports a flight director, but your current
attitude indicator doesn’t, the Pro will give you a single-cue
flight director that will make your hand flying even easier,
more accurate and safer. The Pro delivers all the capabilities
a serious instrument pilot needs on his or her primary
instruments. And if you want even more, a simple software
upgrade will take the Pro up to our highest-level PFD: the
ATP.
