At the risk of rehashing some recent posts, I was wondering if folks with EFIS (esp. G3X) are using the advanced gauge configuration settings much and if there are some imaginative uses of them. Thanks in advance.
In the G3X Installation Manual, revision AU, page 30-216, I read about some uses of advanced gauge config:
• Oil pressure alerts that are inhibited below a specific engine RPM
• Engine RPM limits that change based on oil temperature
• Alerts for prohibited combinations of engine RPM and manifold pressure
• Gauge range markings that appear only when a discrete input is active
• Discrete inputs that generate an alert only when another gauge is within a certain range
• Engine temperature limits that change after engine start or at high altitude
• Engine RPM or manifold pressure limits that change after a period of time ("5-minute takeoff power")
• Alerts for incorrect flap position based on airspeed
• Alerts for incorrect trim position prior to takeoff
