Welcome to AV8OR 3D
Thank you for purchasing AV8OR 3D, the first portable multifunction flight
display (MFD) with 3D synthetic vision. Never before has a general aviation pilot
been able to receive such detailed geographic information in a portable unit.
Besides providing great terrain awareness, the solid state gyros and the GPS will
help you to navigate in even the most challenging situations.
A Word of Caution
Although AV8OR 3D is a situational awareness tool, AV8OR 3D is not to be used for
primary navigation. All terrain information is relative to your GPS position and
barometric pressure readings, and so is subject to error. Airports, navaids,
airspaces, as well other airport data is provided by Honeywell and can also be
subject to error.
About This Manual
This manual is provided as a reference to help you learn about the functions and
features of AV8OR 3D. Please take a few minutes to become familiar with AV8OR 3D
features before you enter the cockpit.

DRAFT
Barometric Pressure
The altitude provided is computed using the pressure sensor built into the INU,
in reference to barometric pressure at sea level or as advised by Air Traffic
Control (ATC). If barometric pressure is not available, such as in a pressurized
aircraft, GPS altitude may be alternatively selected
Vertical Speed
Vertical speed is indicated by a numeric value and a green arrow that moves next
to a blue scale within the altitude tape. The graduations on the blue scale are in
thousands of feet per minute. The position of the numeric value depends on the
direction of the vertical speed. When in level flight, the arrow and the numerical
value are not displayed.
Target Altitude
The target altitude is displayed only when an instrument procedure is activated.
It shows what the altitude of the aircraft should be at the current position in relation to the approach.
Course Deviation Indicator
The course deviation indicator (CDI) is only displayed when an instrument procedure or a flight plan is activated.
The direction of the deflection of the CDI depends on the position of the aircraft,
not on its track. Therefore, when the track is roughly following the course of the
activated flight plan, CDI sensing is normal. If, for example, the magenta triangle
is to the left, a left correction must be applied.
When a flight plan is activated, a full deviation represents five nautical miles; one
dot represents 1 nautical mile.
Caution:
6
When an instrument procedure is activated, a full deviation of the
CDI represents 2.5º.

Installing the INU and Antenna
The INU battery may be partially charged when you take it out of the box. The
INU will charge itself while plugged into the electrical system during the time the
aircraft is running.
Place the INU under your seat or in another suitable position. Although the Bluetooth capability between the INU and tablet PC makes it possible to place the INU
in various locations within the aircraft, it is important that the two devices be in
close proximity to each other (within 6 ft.).
When installing the INU, you need to consider how easy it is for you to reach the
power button. Other determining factors for placement are:
• length of the power cords to your power source
• length of the GPS antenna cable
• distance of the INU from the tablet PC.
The INU should be positioned within the aircraft with its front panel facing out
toward the front of the aircraft. It must be securely attached in the most level and
stable position possible.
An optional mounting plate for the INU is also available. Visit
www.BendixKing.com or call for details.
The figure below shows the front panel view of the INU.

Attaching the Mount
INU Panel Indicators
• The power LED is green.
• When the GPS or INU LED is blinking, it indicates that some data packets are
being lost. This could occur for multiple reasons:
• Poor Bluetooth connection can occur if the tablet PC and the INU are too
far apart from each other or if there are obstacles between the two devices
blocking the signal. Try fixing by relocating the tablet and INU.
• INU hardware malfunction.
Attaching the Mount
An optional mounting plate is available for the tablet PC. The plate is compatible
with the RAM mounting system, with options available to fit most aircraft. (See
RAM at www.ram-mount.com)
Note:
14
As opposed to a 2D navigation, the synthetic vision provided by AV8OR 3D is best
viewed in a heads-up manner. The tablet PC should be mounted on the yoke
panel or similar location as opposed to a knee-board mount.
AV8OR 3D User Guide
DRAFT
Your power supply has three cables. One cable connects to the cigarette lighter,
one to the tablet PC, and the third to the INU. The INU cable has a locking,
threaded plug on the end. Insert this cable into the INU power socket.
If needed, a longer (6-ft.) power cord for the tablet is available for purchase.
A power supply clip is included in the package. This clip can be screwed under
the dash board to hold the power supply.

Zooming and Panning in the 2D View
AV8OR 3D provides the ability to zoom in/out on the 2D view in order to see
close-in detail, or to get a larger image of the general flight area. There are two
ways to zoom in/out when in either the Full 2D or Split 2D/3D view.
• Using the top menu, the Pan/Zoom button toggles the main display between
Pan and Zoom modes. The status of the mode is displayed in the center of the
arrow keypad icon in the top menu. When in the zoom mode, the up and
down arrows can be used to zoom in/out, while the left and right arrows can
be used for controlling the brightness of the display.
• In addition to the top menu, zooming in/out of the 2D display can be accomplished by pressing the (-) and (+) buttons to the left and right of the scale
indicator at the bottom left of the 2D window.
In order to switch to PAN mode, press the PAN button in the top menu. The
center of the arrow keypad icon in the top menu will switch to read Pan. You can
now use the arrow keys to pan up, down, left, and right of your aircraft position,
or around airport diagrams or approach charts.
Heading Indicator in 2D View
The heading indicator is displayed as a graduated arc. A white arrow indicates
the current magnetic track, and the numerical value is displayed in degrees just
below.
The aircraft's heading in AV8OR 3D is based on GPS tracking, not on the absolute
heading of the aircraft, so there may be a variance between the AV8OR 3D heading
indicator and the aircraft's compass or directional gyro (DG). The aircraft
compass or DG should always be used as the primary instruments to determine
actual aircraft heading and crosswind effects.
When a flight plan or an instrument procedure is activated, a target course
(magenta arrow) indicates the bearing to the next waypoint. When this bearing is
not in the range of the track indicator, a magenta arrow shows the direction of the
bearing.
Track Line
The track line shows where the aircraft is expected to be after flying a specified
distance or a specified time. Its length and its visibility can be specified in “Track
