GARMIN G500 QUICK REFERENCEG500 Equipped Seminole Differences• The G500 powers on and off with the battery master, not the avionics master.• There are no vacuum driven instruments, vacuum pumps, or suction gauge. Instruments are electrically powered.• The standby attitude indicator must be erected on power-up by pulling the cage knob.• Test the standby attitude battery as directed by the After Start Checklist by pressing and holding the “STBY PWR”button until amber LED begins flashing. A continuous green light beneath “TEST” during the full sequence indicatesthat the battery is good. A red light illuminated anytime during the test indicates that the battery is not charged andmay require replacement.• The standby attitude indicator warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute when the battery master switch isturned off. DO NOT press the SBY PWR button as it causes continuous operation of the gyro on its emergency battery.Exit the airplane with either a blinking LED or red flag.• G500 equipped Seminoles do not have a conventional turn coordinator. A slip-skid indicator is located at the top of theattitude indicator. Step on the “brick” instead of the “ball”. Use the reference lines and the magenta line that appearsabove the heading indicator to identify a standard rate or half-standard rate turn.• Outside air temperature (OAT) displays on PFD under the airspeed tape. There is no OAT probe or analog gaugebetween the windows.• Ground track can be identified on the heading indicator by a small magenta diamond near the lubber line (only visiblewhen ground track is different than heading).• The digital altitude and airspeed readouts are very sensitive and can cause some pilots to continuously makecorrections for insignificant deviations. Pilot action - Don’t overcorrect for deviations of a few feet. Crosscheck digitaland analog standby instruments to avoid the tendency to overcorrect.NOTE:CDI needle indicates NAV source: green for VLOC /magenta for GPS.Checklist DifferencesUse the 2000 and later Seminole GNS 430 checklist with thefollowing differences:After Start Checklistadd: “MFD ......................................
