CHKLST – Using Checklists
In the current release of EFIS-D10 software, you are limited to 5 checklists each containing 14 lines of text per checklist.
40 characters can fit on each line of the screen. To load checklists onto your EFIS-D10, you must use upload them as
described in the help file that comes with the EFIS-D10 Support Program. You must also have an RS232 serial port
attached to the EFIS-D10 which allows for upload of new software. Pushing the CHKLST button will take you to the
checklist submenu which will contain the checklist titles as defined by you during the setup process with the PC. You
may customize the checklists and their titles as you wish. CAUTION: Once you select one of the checklists, the entire
screen is covered up by it. Do not select a checklist unless you do not actively need to view the display of the EFIS-
D10.
SETUP – Setting Preferences
In main menu 2, press the SETUP button to display the
menu where configuration preferences may be set. In this
submenu, you have 5 options to choose from. Each of these
options is explained in more detail below.
Zero pitch
Frequently, pilots find that the normal cruise attitude for
their plane does not correspond to an absolute zero pitch.
This comes as a result of many factors including plane
design and current weight load during a given flight. To
accommodate this fact, you may “zero” the currently displayed pitch of the EFIS-D10. The best way to do this is to
adjust the displayed pitch once you are flying straight and level and can observe that a non-zero pitch is displayed. From
the SETUP submenu, press the PITCH button. This will display the pitch adjust submenu. From there, simply increment
(INC) or decrement (DEC) the displayed pitch until the screen shows a zero pitch. This value is remembered by the unit
