006-18280-0000 (May 2004) For Units Having Software Version 80-5205-X-2 OR 80-5205-X-3 The software version number is displayed in the upper left corner of the KI 825 display for several seconds when it is first turned on after a cold start. In the figure below the software version is 80-5205-X-3. It is referred to in this manual as Software Version -3. Note: The KI 825 performs a cold start only when power has been off for five minutes or longer. If the software version number is not displayed when power is applied to the unit, turn power off for at least five minutes before reapplying power.

In this Pilots Guide the operational description is applicable to both software versions unless Software Version -2 Only or Software Version -3 Only is specifically indicated in the text. Operational characteristics of software version 80-5205-X-3 are similar to 80-5205-X-2 but have the following enhancements: 1. Allows for the option of separate day and night display dimming ranges controlled by an external day/night switch. See section 2.5. 2. Requires the user to press the MENU button in order to change the displayed navigation sensor and to utilize the memory load function. See sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.7, and 2.13. 3. Allows for the option of an external switch to be utilized in changing between GPS and VOR in addition to the existing method of navigation sensor selection from the KI 825 menu. See section 2.14. 4. Removes the CLR option prompt on the right side of the MENU when clearing lightning strikes from the 360 Map and Arc Map displays. Note, there is no operational change to this feature. This change was made to improve consistency in the use of options prompts. See section 2.4.

5. Provides for more optimized installation interfaces with units like the Garmin GNS 430/530 such that GPS/VLOC switching can now be accomplished from both the GNS 430/530 and from the KI 825. This includes the capability of having the GNS 430/530 change the KI 825 displayed navigation sensor during an automatic GPS to ILS transition. See sections 2.15 and 2.16. 6. Allows for an installation option to not utilize the KI 825s standard course storage feature. This provides more efficient operation when utilizing the automatic GPS to ILS switching capability offered by units such as the Garmin GNS 430/530. See section 1.1.4.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION
The KI 825 combines critical flight information in an easy-to-use, high-resolution presentation. At the touch of a button, a pilot can configure the presentation to display only whats required for the phase of flight. It contains all of the hardware and software functions necessary to display information to the pilot concerning the operation of a Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) or Navigation Map Display. The KI 825 combines the display functions of the standard Directional Gyro with VOR/LOC course deviation indication, glideslope deviation, and bearing. When interfaced to a GPS system, the KI 825 will display a GPS flight path with waypoint indications. When interfaced to a lightning detection system, it will provide the pilot information concerning storm activity. Due to different aircraft system configurations, such as number of or type of interfaces for the NAV or GPS systems or presence of lightning systems, some features or capabilities of the EHSI may not be available for a particular aircraft installation. This Pilots Guide will introduce you to the KI 825 and walk you through the step-by-step operation of its many features. This guide assumes you have basic operating knowledge of a Horizontal Situation Indicator and explains how you can make full use of the KI 825 Safety Display System in place of an electromechanical HSI. More importantly, the KI 825 is a flight instrument intended to help minimize pilot workload, reduce cross cockpit scanning, and increase situational awareness. Even with the KI 825s substantial capabilities, dont forget to exercise good basic piloting techniques in responsibly and safely flying your aircraft.

Chapter 1 Display Basics

1. DISPLAY BASICS
The KI 825, with pilot control, can be operated in any one of three modes: HSI mode, 360 Map mode, and Arc Map mode. In HSI mode, the KI 825 displays navigational information in the standard 360-degree compass format. The display contains information such as compass card, navigational source indicator, heading bug, bearing pointer, course arrow with course deviation indicator, course readout, TO/FROM indicator, groundspeed and time-to-station, glideslope indicator, and error flags. While in HSI mode, the moving map and lightning overlays are not available. In 360 Map mode, the KI 825 displays navigational information in a 360degree compass format. The same navigational information that is available in HSI mode is displayed except there is no course arrow and the CDI is moved to the bottom of the display. In addition, the KI 825 can display GPS moving map information, including flight plan and direct to waypoints, course lines, and map scale. The lightning overlay may also be displayed while in this mode. In Arc Map mode, the KI 825 displays the same information as it does in the 360 Map mode but the display only shows approximately 45 degrees each side of aircraft heading.

1.1 HSI MODE

This section describes the contents of the HSI mode and the elements common to 360 Map and Arc Map modes. The HSI mode is an electronic representation of a standard electromechanical HSI. While in HSI mode, the moving map and lightning overlays are not available. Figures 1-1 to 13 are on a foldout page for reference as the section is being reviewed.

1.1.1 COMPASS CARD

A 360-degree rotating compass card indicates aircraft heading. The heading is shown with respect to magnetic north. A fixed yellow symbolic aircraft in the center of the compass card indicates the aircrafts relationship to the horizontal situation display. The compass card is divided into 5-degree increments with the 10-degree divisions being longer to help with identification of the current heading. Fixed 45-degree markers are positioned around the outside of the compass card.

1-3

Chapter 1 Display Basics

1.1.2 AIRCRAFT SYMBOL

KI 825 Pilots Guide

The EHSI contains a fixed aircraft symbol at the center of the display. This symbol is for positional reference and serves the same purpose as those contained on mechanical HSI units. This symbol may be configured for fixed-wing aircraft or rotorcraft during installation.

1.1.3 LUBBER LINE

This line represents a heading reference index. This line is an extension of the nose of the fixed aircraft symbol and does not move.

1.1.4 PRIMARY NAVIGATIONAL SOURCE ANNUNCIATION

The navigation source selected by the pilot is annunciated vertically on the left side of the display next to the compass card. Two types of navigation sources are possible: VOR and GPS. When the selected navigational source is a VOR and a localizer frequency is tuned, the VOR annunciation will be changed to a LOC annunciation. Up to two of each type of navigational sources can be annunciated. The color of the navigational source annunciation will be cyan for GPS (when not in approach phase) and green for GPS (when in approach phase) and for VOR. The last course setting (before a navigational source change) is stored in the indicator and recalled when the navigational source is reselected. (e.g., VOR is the selected navigational source with the course set at 300. The navigational source is changed to GPS and the course changes to 240. When VOR is reselected as the navigational source, the course returns to 300 automatically). The EHSI does not differentiate between VOR1 and VOR2 or GPS1 and GPS2 when storing course settings. (Software Version 3 Only) The course storage feature described in the previous paragraph may be disabled at the time of KI 825 installation if the feature is not desired. The most common reason to have this feature disabled is to optimize the automatic GPS to ILS switching capability provided by units such as the Garmin GNS 430/530. When disabled, the course pointer doesnt change position when switching between GPS and ILS navigation sensors. Note 1: The EHSIs ability to annunciate navigational source numerals (e.g., VOR 1, VOR 2, GPS 1, GPS 2) is dependent on the number and type of each navigational source as well as the method used to interface the navigational sources to the KI 825.

KI 825 Pilots Guide

Chapter 1 Display Basics

Note 2: The EHSI may not display a primary navigational source annunciation if the aircraft is configured to utilize external relay switching instead of utilizing the KI 825s internal switching.

1.1.5 SELECTED HEADING

A notched heading bug (amber) is manually rotated around the compass card by the heading set knob. The heading bug indicates selected heading, and once set, rotates with the compass card. A clockwise (CW) rotation of the knob produces clockwise (CW) rotation of the heading bug and vice versa. The knob response will be dependent on the speed of rotation. A heading control annunciator is displayed next to the knob. A three-digit numeric heading readout is an indication of the position of the heading bug and is located on the top left corner of the display just below the course readout.

1.1.6 COURSE POINTER

When the primary navigational source is a VOR, the selected course pointer is manually rotated around the compass card by the course set knob. The pointer indicates the desired navigation course. The color of the course pointer matches the color of the primary navigational source annunciation. When the primary navigational source is a GPS operating in the LEG mode, the course pointer is replaced with a desired track (DTK) and the course set knob is not active. When the primary navigational source is a GPS operating in OBS mode, the course set knob is used to select the desired OBS course. A clockwise (CW) rotation of the course set knob produces CW rotation of the course pointer and vice versa. A course control annunciator is displayed next to the knob.

1.1.7 COURSE READOUT

The course readout is depicted by a three-digit numeric display located in the upper left corner of the display and is proceeded by CRS (DTK if source of data is a GPS that is in LEG mode). The color of this display is the same as the selected course pointer.

Chapter 1 Display Basics

1.1.8 COURSE DEVIATION DISPLAY

KI 825 Pilots Guide

The course deviation scale (two white dots on each side of the aircraft symbol) provides a reference for the course deviation bar. The course deviation bar is the center bar of the course pointer. The course deviation bar indicates the centerline of the selected navigation course or localizer course in relation to the aircraft. The course deviation scale and pointer rotate with the compass card when set. In the event of a NAV system failure, the deviation bar is removed.

1.1.9 BEARING POINTER

The bearing pointer is represented by a white, single-bar, disconnected arrowhead and tail located at the edge of the compass card. The bearing pointer indicates the relative bearing to the selected bearing source. If the bearing source is a VOR and a ILS/LOC frequency is tuned, the bearing pointer is removed from the display. If a valid NAV signal is not being received, the bearing pointer is removed from the display.

1.1.10 BEARING SOURCE ANNUNCIATION

The bearing source selected by the pilot is annunciated in the lower left corner of the display proceeded by a small arrow icon. Two types of navigation sources are possible: VOR or GPS. Up to two of each system can be annunciated (e.g., VOR 1, VOR 2) depending on the interface. The color of the annunciation will be the same as the bearing pointer. If the bearing source is a VOR and an ILS/LOC frequency has been tuned, the bearing pointer will be removed. Note: The bearing pointer source annunciation will only show numerals (e.g., VOR 1, VOR 2, GPS 1, GPS 2) if there is more than one VOR or more than one GPS interfaced as bearing pointers.

1.1.11 DISTANCE READOUT TO SELECTED NAV SOURCE WAYPOINT

When GPS is the selected NAV source, GPS distance is displayed in the upper right corner of the indicator. A range flag consisting of four dashes replaces the numeric display, whenever the distance reading is invalid. The range of the display will be 0.0 to 9999. Tenths of nautical miles are shown whenever the distance is less than 100 nautical miles. DME distance is not displayed.

Chapter 1 Display Basics

1.1.12 DISTANCE READOUT TO SELECTED BEARING SOURCE WAYPOINT

When GPS is the selected navigational source for the bearing pointer, distance is displayed in the lower right corner of the indicator. A range flag consisting of four dashes replaces the numeric whenever the distance reading is invalid. The range of the display will be 0.0 to 9999. Tenths of nautical miles will be shown whenever the distance is less than 100 nautical miles. DME distance is not displayed.

1.1.13 TO/FROM DISPLAY

The TO/FROM indicator is a white triangle, located inline with the course pointer. If the navigation signal presented to the EHSI is not valid, TO/FROM symbol will be removed from the display.

1.1.14 GLIDESLOPE DISPLAY

A white, stationary, vertical scale located on the right side of the indicator is the reference for the glideslope deviation pointer.The glideslope pointer is arrowhead shaped, and the color matches the NAV source annunciator. The glideslope scale is only visible when an ILS/LOC frequency is selected.

1.1.15 GROUNDSPEED READOUT

The groundspeed readout may be displayed if a GPS is selected as the primary navigational source. The groundspeed readout is located in the upper right corner beneath the distance indicator followed by the suffix KT for knots. The range of the display will be from 0 to 999. A groundspeed error flag consisting of dashes will replace the numeric display whenever the groundspeed is invalid. Either groundspeed or time-to-station may be displayed in this location.

1.1.16 TIME-TO-STATION READOUT

The time-to-station readout may be displayed if GPS is selected as the primary navigation source. Time-to-station (TTS) readout is a numeric display located in the upper right corner beneath the distance indicator. The range of the display for the hours and minutes will be from 0:00 to 9:59. For times greater than 9:59, the time field will be blank. A TTS error flag consisting of yellow dashes and a colon replaces the numeric display whenever the time-to-station is invalid. Either time-to-station or the groundspeed may be displayed in this location.

1.2 360 MAP MODE

Chapter 1 Display Basics

This section outlines differences between 360 Map mode and HSI mode. The 360 Map mode allows the presentation of lightning information (from a Goodrich WX-500 Stormscope (if interfaced) and GPS moving map. The lightning overlay is fully described in Sections 1.4 and 2.10. Figures 1-4 to 1-7 are on a foldout page for reference as the section is being reviewed.

1.2.1 MAP MODE SELECTED COURSE

The numeric selected course readout in the upper left corner of the display functions the same in the 360 Map mode as in the HSI mode. When the selected NAV source is GPS (operating in the LEG mode), the direct-to-waypoints and active flight plan are displayed on the map. If the primary NAV sensor is GPS operating in OBS mode, and if the active waypoints are within the selected map range, the selected course line is drawn through the waypoints center. As the selected course is changed, the course line will rotate about the waypoint. If the primary NAV sensor is a GPS and the navigation information becomes invalid, the waypoint symbol and course line, are removed. No moving map is displayed when insufficient data is present to calculate and plot the primary NAV sensor map. No navigation information is displayed on the moving map when VOR is selected as the primary navigation source. Lightning information may still be displayed when VOR is selected as the primary navigation source.

1.2.2 360 MAP COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR

A stationary white scale along the bottom center of the display provides reference for the course deviation pointer to indicate the position of the aircraft in relation to the navigation course. This deviation scale provides a conventional CDI presentation.

1.2.3 TO/FROM DISPLAY

The center indicator of the course deviation scale becomes the TO/FROM indicator. A white up arrowhead indicates TO, and a white down arrowhead indicates FROM. If the TO/FROM signal input is in not valid, the TO/FROM indicator is removed and the center indicator changes to a white, unfilled diamond.

1.3 ARC MAP MODE

Chapter 1 Display Basics

The Arc Map mode is an exploded view of the 360 Map mode, but only 45 either side of the aircraft heading is visible, providing enhanced viewing and ease of reading when displaying multifunction features. The Arc Map mode range ring operates the same as in the 360 Map mode, with the only exception being that seven range dots are visible. The lightning overlay is fully described in Section 1.4 and 2.10. Figures 1-8 to 1-10 are on a foldout page for reference as the section is being reviewed.

1.4 LIGHTNING DISPLAY OVERLAY

Chapter 1 Display Basics

The EHSI displays weather avoidance information from a Goodrich WX500 Stormscope. The lightning overlay will present electrical discharges as an overlay to the normal EHSI functions. This overlay is only available when the EHSI is in either 360 Map or Arc Map modes. Figures 1-11 to 113 are on a foldout page for reference as the section is being reviewed.

1.4.1 DISPLAY SYMBOLS

A white symbolic lightning bolt indicates strike or cell locations. These lightning bolts are maintained on the display for a period of up to 3 minutes. The smallest size is used for display ranges of greater than 20 NM, the medium size for ranges of 16 and 20 NM, and the large size for the 10 NM range.

1.4.2 LIGHTNING ANNUNCIATION

A white annunciation located on the lower left corner of the display indicates if the lightning overlay is operating in Cell (CELL), Strike (STRK) mode, or not selected (Blank). The annunciation in white of XXX, where XXX is a number representing the approximate number of strikes per minute, is located directly below the lightning mode annunciation. Lightning is only displayed when the maximum range is 10 NM or greater. If the selected range is less than 10 NM, a lightning notification message No Lightning Display will be present for 5 seconds, the EHSI is otherwise configured to display lightning.

2. BUTTONS, KNOBS, AND MENU OPTIONS

The following sections define the available menu choices, the function of the MENU button, and the operation of the right and left rotary knobs. Figure 2-1 is on a foldout page for reference as the section is being reviewed.

2.1 AUTO HEADING BUG SYNCHRONIZATION

To rapidly set the heading bug to the aircrafts current heading, momentarily press the MENU button to enter the menu mode. Next, press the MENU button again to exit menu mode and hold for 1 second. The heading bug will position itself to the current heading. Five seconds after auto synchronization, the heading bug will operate normally and can be manually adjusted using the right knob.

2.2 MENU MODE OPERATIONS

In Menu mode, a menu is shown on the display allowing the user to configure the display as desired for various phases of flight or personal preference. In order to enter Menu mode, press the MENU button once. To exit the Menu mode, press the MENU button again. Or, if no adjustments are made for 20 seconds, the EHSI will automatically exit Menu mode. While in Menu mode, menu items will appear on the left side of the display. Selecting a menu item is accomplished by rotating the left knob. The currently selected menu item will be displayed in reverse video (blue text on a white background). Once the desired menu item is selected, the options available for that menu item appear on the right side of the display. The currently selected option will be highlighted in reverse video. (Software Version -2 Only) Selecting an option from the menu list is accomplished by rotating the right knob. As the option is highlighted, the display and EHSI operation are immediately updated to match the selection. The exceptions to this real-time selection process are discussed in Memory Functions and Clear Lightning Strikes. (Software Version -3 Only) Selecting an option from the menu list is accomplished by rotating the right knob. As the option is highlighted, the display and EHSI operation are immediately updated to match the selection for the following menu items: brightness (BRITE), range (RNG), display mode (MODE), bearing pointer source (BRG), lightning overlay (LGHTN), and groundspeed or time-to-station (GSTTS). The MENU button operation field will show MENU OFF for these menu items. For the navigation source (NAV), memory functions (MEMRY), and clear lightning strikes (CLR) menu items the pilot must take additional action to implement the change (normally pushing the MENU button). The MENU button

2.3 MENU DYNAMICS

Chapter 2 Buttons, Knobs and Menu Options

A menu selection will not be displayed if it is not available due to the configuration of the aircraft. For example, if the instrument is not configured to interface with a Goodrich WX-500 Stormscope, the Lightning mode and Clear Lightning Strikes menu items will not be shown. Figure 2-2 is on a foldout page for reference as the section is being reviewed. If a menu selection is not available due to current menu choices, it will be displayed but it will be cyan (light blue) lettering with a blue background, indicating that function is disabled. For example, if the selected display mode is HSI mode, the range has no effect and will consequently be disabled (e.g., RNG is shown in cyan). Once a change has been made which allows a function to be available for the new setup, the menu items will be enabled. Menu choices that are available will be displayed in white lettering with a blue background. Even though the lightning overlay is only allowed during the two map modes, the lightning menu item will always be available if a Goodrich WX500 Stormscope is interfaced to the KI 825. If the lightning menu item is selected while the current mode is set to HSI, the unit will automatically switch the mode to 360 Map. (Software Version -2 Only) The Menu Button operation field will show MENU OFF for all menu items, with two exceptions: The Memory menu item, when a SAVE menu option is currently selected, in which case it will show HOLD FOR SAVE; and the Clear Lightning Strikes item, in which case it will show Press to Clear. (Software Version -3 Only) The MENU button operation field appears above the MENU button when the menu is being displayed to indicate the function of the button. It can show several different prompts depending on the situation. In most instances it displays MENU OFF to indicate that pressing the MENU button removes the menu from the display. The MENU button operation field will show Press To Select when it is necessary to press the MENU button to complete a selection. This is required when changing the navigation source or utilizing the LOAD memory function. The MENU button operation field will show HOLD FOR SAVE when the SAVE memory function is being used. The MENU button operation field will show Press to Clear when the Clear Lightning Strikes menu item has been selected.

2.5 DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS (BRITE)

KI 825 Pilots Guide

The brightness of the display may be adjusted from this menu item by turning the right knob clockwise to increase brightness and counterclockwise to decrease brightness. NOTE: When power is first applied to the unit, it wakes up with the display brightness set to whichever of the following is the brightest: (1) the brightness selected prior to the last power down or (2) a low-level factory default setting. There is also a shortcut to the display brightness adjustment menu item: With the EHSI not in the Menu mode, press and hold the MENU button for 2 seconds to permit adjustment of the display brightness. (Software Version 3 Only) If an aircraft has a day/night switch used for dimming annunciators and displays at night, the KI 825 may have been connected to this switch at the time of installation. If connected, the brightness of the display is adjusted from the BRITE menu item in the normal manner. However, there is a separate brightness adjust range for the day position and another, dimmer range for the night position. If the KI 825 is not connected to a day/night switch it operates as described in the paragraphs above.

2.6 RANGE (RNG)

The Range menu allows the selection of the display range used in the 360 Map or the Arc Map display modes. If the range is less than 10 and a lightning overlay is being shown, the unit will announce NO LIGHTNING.

2.7 NAVIGATION SOURCE (NAV)

The Navigation Source menu allows the selection of the primary navigation source. (Software Version 3 Only) When the right knob has been used to select the desired navigation source the pilot must take one of the following actions to implement the change: Press the MENU button to select the navigation source and turn off the menu mode. Or Turn the left knob to select another menu item (other than NAV) from the list. Note: If one of the above actions is not taken, the display will return to the previously selected navigation sensor when the menu times out after 20 seconds.

Chapter 2 Buttons, Knobs and Menu Options

Note: See also section 2.14 for an alternate means of changing the navigation source.

2.8 DISPLAY MODE (MODE)

The display mode menu item allows the selection of the current display mode. Menu options include: HSI mode - Displays standard HSI information in a 360-degree view about the aircraft and acts as a standard HSI display. If the display mode is changed to HSI Mode while the lightning overlay is shown, the unit will annunciate NO TRFC/LGHTN. 360 Map mode - Displays navigational information in a 360-degree view about the aircraft, including GPS map information for direct-to and active flight plan waypoints. The lightning overlay may also be displayed in this mode. Arc Map mode - Displays an exploded view of the 360 Map mode, but only 45 degrees either side of the aircraft heading is visible. The lightning overlay may also be displayed while in this mode.

2.9 BEARING POINTER SOURCE (BRG)

The Bearing Pointer Source menu item allows the selection of the bearing pointer source.

2.10 LIGHTNING OVERLAY (LGHTN)

The lightning overlay is available only if the EHSI is configured with a Goodrich WX-500 Stormscope. The lightning menu allows the selection of the lightning overlay. If the LGHTN menu item is selected while in HSI mode, the option on the right is initially blank. If the lightning option is changed to CELL or STRK mode, the EHSI will automatically change the display mode to 360 Map mode and will annunciate MODE CHANGED. If the range is less then 10 NM and lightning mode is in cell or strike, NO LIGHTNING is annunciated. This annunciation takes precedence over the MODE CHANGED annunciation. The lightning overlay menu item contains three options: Cell mode - The EHSI displays clusters of electrical activity indicating storm cell areas. Strike mode - The EHSI displays individual electrical discharges.

2-11

Chapter 2 Buttons, Knobs and Menu Options

Off - Lightning overlay is not displayed.

KI 825 Pilots Guide

NOTE: Refer to the Goodrich WX-500 Stormscope operators manual for additional information on Cell and Strike modes.

2.11 CLEAR LIGHTNING STRIKES (CLR)

Pressing the MENU button when the Clear Lightning Strikes is currently selected clears all existing discharge points being displayed. Note: If another indicator (e.g., a KMD850) is the master display for the Goodrich WX-500 Stormscope, the lightning icons can only be cleared from the KI 825 with an external switch (optional).

2.12 MEMORY FUNCTIONS (MEMRY)

The Memory menu item allows the pilot to save up to four unique display configurations and recall them for use at a later time. For example, the pilot may have a specific display setup for ILS approach, another for GPS approach, another for en route, etc. The SAVE menu option allows for saving the current range, navigation source, display mode, bearing indicator source, and lightning overlay. To save the current configuration to a memory location, highlight the desired SAVE menu option (e.g., SAVE1, SAVE2) and then press and hold the MENU button for 2 seconds. Saved configurations are stored in memory to maintain the setups even when the EHSI is powered off. (Software Version 2 Only) To activate a previously saved configuration, select the appropriate LOAD number that corresponds to the SAVE number used to store the setup (e.g., LOAD1, LOAD2, etc.). The ACTV menu option returns the display setup to the state it was in before entering the Memory menu item. The unit will change immediately to the desired configuration when a LOAD or ACTV menu item is selected. (Software Version 3 Only) To activate a previously saved configuration, select the appropriate LOAD number that corresponds to the SAVE number used to store the setup (e.g., LOAD1, LOAD2, etc.). To implement the changed configuration the pilot must take one of the following two actions: Press the MENU button to select the desired configuration and turn off the menu mode Or Turn the left knob to select another menu item (other than MEMRY) from the list.

2-12

KI 825 Pilots Guide

Chapter 2 Buttons, Knobs and Menu Options

Note: If one of the above actions is not taken, the display will return to the previously selected configuration state when the menu times out after 20 seconds. The ACTV menu option may be used to return the display setup to the state it was in before entering the Memory menu item.

2.13 GROUNDSPEED OR TIME-TO-STATION (GSTTS)

The groundspeed or time-to-station menu item allows the pilot to display the groundspeed or the time-to-station, if available. This menu item is disabled if the selected navigation source is not a GPS.

2.14 (SOFTWARE VERSION 3 ONLY) OPTIONAL NAVIGATION SOURCE SELECT SWITCH

A momentary push button switch may be installed in the aircrafts instrument panel to toggle the selected navigation source between GPS and NAV. If the KI 825 installation is interfaced with GPS 1, VOR 1, GPS 2 and VOR 2, pressing the switch only toggles between the sensors of the selected system. Therefore if GPS 1 is selected on the KI 825, pressing the push button toggles between GPS 1 and VOR 1. If GPS 2 is selected, pressing the push button toggles between GPS 2 and VOR 2.

2.15 (SOFTWARE VERSION 3 ONLY) OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A SINGLE KI 825 WITH DUAL GARMIN GNS 430 (OR 530) INSTALLATION
The following operational characteristics apply to an installation consisting of a single KI 825 EHSI, two Garmin GNS 430 (or 530) integrated Nav/Com/GPS units, and a single mechanical course deviation indicator (CDI). The mechanical CDI displays navigation information from the # 2 GNS 430 system only. The characteristics described below are applicable when the equipment is installed in accordance with the current revision of the Bendix/King KI 825 Installation Manual for this equipment. 1. GPS 1, VOR 1, GPS 2 and VOR 2 can be selected as the navigation source using the menu on the KI 825. All four selections are also available for the bearing pointer. The GPS/VLOC annunciation on the Garmin GNS 430 will change consistently with the selection made from the KI 825. For example, when GPS 1 is selected on the KI 825 the #1 GNS 430 system will annunciate GPS. When VOR 2 is selected on the KI 825, the #2 GNS 430 will annunciate VLOC.

2-13

Chapter 2 Buttons, Knobs and Menu Options

KI 825 Pilots Guide

2. Pressing the CDI button on the #1 GNS 430 will toggle the KI 825 between GPS 1 and VOR 1 if the #1 GNS 430 is presently being displayed on the KI 825. Likewise, pressing the CDI button on the # 2 GNS 430 will toggle the KI 825 between GPS 2 and VOR 2 if the # 2 GNS 430 is presently being displayed on the KI 825. 3. When doing an automatic GPS-to-ILS transition on the GNS 430 the navigation sensor will change from GPS to LOC on the KI 825 at the same time it changes from GPS to VLOC on the GNS 430. 4. When GPS 2 is selected as the navigation source on the KI 825 the mechanical CDI will be flagged (unusable). This is because there can only be one course for GPS 2 (i.e. there cant be one course from the KI 825 and another from the mechanical CDI). If GPS 2 is in OBS mode while it is selected on the KI 825, course selection is made from the KI 825. 5. If an optional navigation source select switch is mounted in the aircrafts instrument panel, pressing it will toggle between GPS and VOR only for the GNS 430 system (# 1 system or # 2 system) that is being displayed on the KI 825.

2.16 (SOFTWARE VERSION 3 ONLY) OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A DUAL KI 825 WITH DUAL GARMIN GNS 430 (OR 530) INSTALLATION
The following operational characteristics apply to an installation consisting of a pilots KI 825, a copilots KI 825, and two Garmin GNS 430 (or 530) integrated Nav/Com/GPS units. The characteristics described below are applicable when the equipment is installed in accordance with the current revision of the Bendix/King KI 825 Installation Manual for this equipment.

PILOTS KI 825.
1. GPS 1, VOR 1, GPS 2, and VOR 2 can selected as the navigation source. Making this selection never changes the sensor selected on the copilots KI 825. 2. Course selection for GPS 1 (in OBS mode), VOR 1, and VOR 2 can be made with the course set knob. The VOR 1 and VOR 2 course selections are made independent of and are not affected by the course selected on the copilots KI 825. 3. The course set knob is not operational (and its CRS annunciation is removed) when GPS 2 is selected as the navigation source.

2-14

KI 825 Pilots Guide

Chapter 2 Buttons, Knobs and Menu Options

4. When GPS 2 is the selected navigation source on the pilots KI 825 and GPS 2 is in OBS mode, course changes can only be made by selecting GPS 2 on the copilots KI 825 and using its course select knob. The pilots KI 825 always has the same course as the copilots KI 825 under these conditions. 5. When GPS 1 or VOR 1 is selected as the navigation source using the menu of the pilots KI 825, the #1 GNS 430 annunciation is changed to the corresponding state (GPS or VLOC). 6. When GPS 2 or VOR 2 is selected as the navigation source using the menu of the pilots KI 825, the #2 GNS 430 annunciation (GPS or VLOC) is unchanged. 7. When GPS 1 or VOR 1 is the selected navigation sensor on the pilots KI 825, pressing the CDI button on the #1 GNS 430 toggles the pilots KI 825 selected navigation sensor between GPS 1 and VOR 1 and at the same time changes the #1 GNS 430 to its corresponding annunciation (GPS or VLOC). Likewise, when the #1 GNS 430 does an automatic GPS-to-ILS sensor switch, the navigational source is appropriately changed on the pilots KI 825. 8. When GPS 2 or VOR 2 is the selected navigation sensor on the pilots KI 825, pressing the CDI button on the #2 GNS 430 toggles the GPS/VLOC annunciation on the #2 GNS 430 but does not change the selected sensor on the pilots KI 825. When the #2 GNS 430 does an automatic GPS-to-ILS sensor switch, the navigation source is not changed on the pilots KI 825. 9. GPS 1, GPS 2, VOR 1, or VOR 2 can be selected for the bearing pointer at any time without restriction (assuming no ILS frequencies are selected on VOR 1 or VOR 2).

COPILOTS KI 825
Operation of the copilots KI 825 is exactly the mirror image logic of the pilots KI 825 described above.
