SMART GLIDE
TM
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
NOTE: Smart Glide is only supported when the G3X Touch is installed with
a GTN
™
Xi running software version 20.22 or later.
NOTE: This section is a general overview of Smart Glide as it pertains to the
G3X Touch. For more information about Smart Glide operation refer to the
GTN Xi Pilot's Guide.
Smart Glide is designed to assist the pilot by enhancing situational awareness
and providing helpful automation during an emergency inoperative engine
event. The Smart Glide features referenced here are driven by the GTN Xi's
external navigator.
Upon activation, Smart Glide assists the pilot with three critical components
of a safe recovery from an engine failure:
• When equipped with a GFC 500 autopilot, the autopilot provides
vertical and lateral guidance:
- IAS mode with configured Best Glide airspeed reference
- GPS mode with guidance to the destination airport
• Identifies and provides navigation guidance, as well as flight director
guidance to a suitable landing location (if one is available)
