Trim calibration
I don't have photos, but I calibrated my trim properly today. It took about 5 mins. It's one of the buried menus, and somehow I had missed it. The defaults had my elevator trim indications reversed. Here are the instructions from GRT:
EFIS Setup:
1. Go to SET MENU> General Setup > ANALOG 1-8 (whichever is wired) and choose appropriate item. Selections are: FLAPS, AILERON TRIM, ELEVATOR TRIM, OR RUDDER TRIM.
2. Turn Pull-Up Resistor ON.
3. Scroll to SET MENU > General Setup > Set Elevator Trim Orientation: Choose DOWN trim at TOP or UP trim at TOP (pilot preference)
4. Scroll to Flap and Trim Calibration. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the indicator on the PFD.
There is also a cool feature that allows you to have "shaded" range in the trim indication on the PFD - I guess this is used to indicate an acceptable band, for example for takeoff trim. I'll try to remember to get pictures next time I'm at the hangar.
