I am a newcomer to the AFS EFIS, and I need some help to understand a few things. The fit is AFS4500, GNS430W and Digiflight II VSGV all connected via ARINC as per AFS instructions. All tests as AFS manual have been successfully carried out. If it makes any difference I am in Europe and using EGNOS, the 430 is confirming this with the ?D?s on the bars, on the Satellite page.
Flight Director ? Is this only useful to me when controlling the Auto Pilot from the EFIS?
Flight Path Marker ? When would I benefit from this?
RNAV Approaches ? If I activate a RNAV procedure and activate the last leg FAF to runway, I would expect the Glide Slope to appear. At least that?s what happens on an Avidyne, I can spoof an extended GS 20 miles out, albeit at 6000ft. When does the GS appear on the AFS?
Is the ?ARM?ing of V or L only necessary if using AP approaches?
AGL has ?G1? after it, what does it stand for?
Many thanks for any help.
