This was simulated IFR - under the hood.
The PFD was not actually failed, just the GPS and G5 which is configured in this plane as HI; in that plane we also have both a mag compass and vacuum HI. Steam gauges were all nominal, so no need to declare emergency in VFR conditions.
I’m confused on the actual panel layout. In several instances, you refer to the G5 as an HI. I’ve been assuming that meant the G5 was configured as a Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI). I’ve also assumed since post 1 there is just one G5 in this aircraft. Now you’re referring to it being configured as a PFD, which I would assume is the Attitude Indicator option.
Does this mean the scenario was the AI (assumed as steam) failed and you reverted the G5 HSI to the PFD page as the solution for a failing AI?
