6. Alarms and Trouble shooting

Magnetometer not calibrated or not operating correctly

When the magnetometer is either not calibrated or not operating correctly, the compass

on the PFD and HSI display becomes RED.

It can occur sporadically during flight and it is not problematic, as the unit continues to

estimate heading correctly using gyroscopic and other internal means. Magnetometer

failures on start-up or during prolonged periods lead to incorrect heading readings.

What to do?

Perform magnetometer calibration. If the problem persists, and the magnetometer is

external, check connection. If problem persists, relocate magnetometer in the aircraft

according to installation instructions and recalibrate. If problem still persists, external

magnetometer or unit might require service.

GPS failure

During the Ultra start-up and until a GPS fix is acquired, the GPS position field on

the HSI display will indicate GPS error in RED. If the GPS fails during operation, the

same condition is indicated. The unit can continue calculating position with degraded

precision in absence of GPS.

What to do?

Allow for some time (up to 3 minutes) for the GPS to acquire first fix. If failure persists

after this point, verify GPS antenna connection.

AHRS failure

When the PFD display mode becomes totally RED there is a AHRS failure. This failure

occurs when the unit exceeds any of the following limits: 1600deg/s (all axis) and 8g

(all axis).

What to do?

This failure should only occur during high dynamics in flight. The unit will accumulate
