Aerobask GTN 750 / 650
FOR SIMULATION ONLY!DO NOT USE FOR REAL FLIGHT!
AEROBASK GARMIN GTN 750 / 650FOR X-PLANE
Developped from scratch by Lionel Zamouth.Associated with our EFIS Skyview, the Aerobask GTNs offer the most advanced glass-cockpit simulation for X-Plane General Aviation.
The GTNs are fully integrated in our aircraft.
System Requirement :Windows / Mac OS / Linux
CAUTION Our EFIS simulate the true Garmin instruments, but they do not reproduce them strictly.Do not use for real training.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)
8
Available on both GTN750 & 650.The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended to help the pilot locate traffic visually. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic.The TIS is designed to help in detection and avoidance of other aircraft.

Install your charts setBy default, the folder ‘charts’ is installed in the main directory aircraft.You can share your charts with another aicraft using our technology by copying the ‘charts’ folder in the X-Plane ‘Custom Data’ folder.
To add a new airport charts set, just create a new folder named with the ICAO code in the ‘charts’ folder.
How To create your own charts setAll charts source can be used. The only requirement is to convert your charts to PNG format.
Step 1 : convert automaticaly your PDF charts online with the website : http://pdf2png.com/Step 2 : rename your PNG charts according to the following rules:INF.xxxxx.png for the Information charts (ground mouvement, obstacles, area, etc…)DEP.xxxxx.png for the Departure chartsAPP.xxxxx.png for the Approach chartsARR.xxxxx.png for the Arrival charts
Caution: no special or accented characters.Next, copy your PNG charts in your dedicated airport folder. Check the default LFBZ folder (charts/LFBZ) included in the aircraft to get an example.
CAUTION : Before sharing charts with other users, ensure you have the right to distribute them.

AUTOPILOT
20
We choose to add this feature on the GTN650 to manage the autopilot easily in simulation.In this mode, you can select/activate all functions available.
Note : the Skyviews EFIS provide the AP features too. Please refer to the dedicated manual.
● AP: This button activates or de-activates the autopilot.
● FD: This button shows or hides the flight director bars on the PFD. The flight director shows you the direction and altitude you need to fly in order to reach a set target heading and target altitude.
● HDG: This button activates the autopilot's heading hold mode. The autopilot will follow the heading bug you set on the PFD's HSI.
● NAV: This button activates the autopilot's navigation mode. The autopilot will follow the active navigation source. Change the navigation source with the „HSI SRC“ softkey in the PFD or GTNs menu.
● APR: This button activates the autopilot's approach mode. Use this button for capturing the localizer and glideslope of an ILS approach.
● IAS: This button activates the IAS hold mode. The autopilot will try to hold the indicated airspeed set on the PFD's speedtape.
● VS: This button activates the vertical speed mode. The autopilot will try to climb or descend with the speed selected with the “UP/DN” buttons. The autopilot will climb or descend to the altitude pre-selected.
● ALT: This button activates the altitude hold mode. The autopilot will hold the current or pre-selected altitude.

DALT/TAS/Winds
23
Density Alt / TAS / Winds indicates the theoretical altitude at whichyour aircraft performs depending upon several variables, including indicatedaltitude (Indicated ALT), barometric pressure (BARO) and total air tempera-ture (TAT; the temperature, including the heating effect of speed, read ona standard outside temperature gauge). This item computes true airspeed(TAS) and density altitude, based upon the factors above. Also, this featuredetermines winds aloft — the wind direction and speed — and a headwind/tail wind component, based on true airspeed, aircraft heading (HDG)and ground speed.

The Flight Timers function provides count up/down timers, plus automatic recording of departure time, and total trip time. Departure and total trip time recording can be configured to run either any time unit power is on, or only when your ground speed exceeds the in-air threshold set by the installer
750 and 650 timers are independent.
If the Generic Timer Direction counter is set to "Up," the Reset Timer key will be shown and when touched will return thetimer to 00:00:00. If the Direction counter is set to "Down," the Preset Timer key will be shown and the key will return the timer to the Preset time value.
