Alert Message Description End condition
ATTITUDE
RECOVERING… This alert is displayed anytime the
unit is rotated at a rate faster than
150 degrees/second or the unit is
powered on with airspeed applied.
Rotating the unit faster than this
threshold will saturate the gyros,
leading to potentially erroneous
display. The blue/brown horizon
indication will turn grey and black to
indicate that the artificial horizon is
not currently a trusted source. Note
that this alert only appears when
airspeed is non-zero; using the EFIS-
D60 on the bench will not trigger this
alert. The grey/black horizon indication
and onscreen message will remain
until the unit has resumed normal
operation. In the case of rotation
rate greater than 150
degrees/second, the unit enters a fast
recovery mode and usually recovers
within 5 seconds of coordinated
flight.
TEMPERATURE
UNSTABLE When the unit is turned on after
having been off for a long period, its
internal temperature will rise above
ambient at a fast rate. This fast
change in temperature can sometimes
reduce the reliability of the output of
the sensors. Therefore, this alert is
displayed and the horizon indication
is changed from blue/brown to
grey/black. The screen remains normal color,
but the message is displayed until
the temperature within the unit has
stabilized. This temperature
instability should last no longer than
2 minutes. For this reason, it is a
good idea to turn the unit on before
you run through any of the preflight
procedures, so that it will be ready
by the time you are ready to fly.
TEMPERATURE
OUT OF SPEC The temperature inside the unit is
outside of -30ºC to 50ºC. The screen remains normal color,
but the message is displayed until
the temperature within the unit is
within the specified range. This is
most common in unventilated
panels during hot periods. If you
continue to see this alert, provide
more airflow to the space around the
EFIS-D60.
