Hello
Just installed G5 AI (PFD) for certificated aircraft only, (ie NOT with ehsi). First flight yesterday and had no compass or heading or track function/display. I did install the oat sensor and did receive TAS info. Took a long time for the horizon line and aircraft symbol to line up. I never saw an “align” annunciator message. Most distressing was that I could only enter barometric pressure and altitude select. Those were the only functions I could call up with the function knob other than backlight intensity. I thought the unit had an internal GPS, or do I need a separate GPS source? Is this normal? The pilot pilot guide and install. manuals are not very helpful. In retrospect my avionics shop did not answer some of my questions clearly and they may not have an abundance of experience with the G5. They are the ones that recommended the unit and I assumed they had experience. Any insight, observations and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
