The EFIS module is a graphic interface which displays real 3D terrain while flying. In order to use it, you will first need to download the 3D data from the Map Store. This is a complex piece of data and it works for both the EFIS module and the Elevation Graph. So this means that once you have installed it in Air Navigation Pro, you won’t need to install the Free Elevation data.

In order to get into the EFIS module, you will first need to activate the previously installed 3D map of your choice and press the button of the EFIS module, which you can find in the top tool bar.


It will show a groundspeed indicator on the left and an altitude indicator on the right. At the top of the screen, it will show the Heading indicator. On the lower left corner the elevation profile.

When pressing the retract button you'll be able to see the route and the moving map on the left side. To hide these, just press the expand button.

In the middle of the screen is the Attitude indicator. EFIS code engine has been programmed to work close to a real one.

At the bottom, there is a button that shows a different label depending on how and where you are flying.


Different modes and calibration

You might see the following:

  • Touching the screen and dragging up or down will change the pitch.
  • Touching the screen and dragging left or will change the heading.
  • Touching the altitude bar and dragging up or down will change the altitude.
  • By touching on the left edge of the EFIS and dragging up or down you can move forward or backwards

Troubleshooting

The attitude is freezed and there is a red button with the message "Attitude OFF".
It's possible that the internal gyroscope is turned off or there is no connection to the external AHRS sensor. Make sure to activate them through "Tools - Sensors" under the sub-menu "Attitude Sources".
