Emrelia E3X

First Flight

This walkthrough assumes the E3X is installed and connected to your sim. Load a GA aircraft at an airport of your choice and bring the display up.

1. Read the PFD

Section titled “1. Read the PFD”

The top strip is the CNS bar — COM and NAV frequencies, transponder, and audio at all times. Below it, the PFD: airspeed tape left, attitude center, altitude and VSI right, HSI at the bottom. Tap the baro field and set the local pressure with the keypad or a knob.

2. Set up the map

Section titled “2. Set up the map”

Press MENU from the map for map options: orientation, declutter level, and overlays. Pinch or use the range keys to zoom — the range readout shows fuel-range and glide rings if enabled in Map Setup.

3. Enter a flight plan

Section titled “3. Enter a flight plan”

Open FPL from the main menu. Tap Add Waypoint, type an airport or navaid identifier, and add a few legs. Your route draws on the map in magenta.

4. Go Direct-To

Section titled “4. Go Direct-To”

Press the Direct-To key, pick a waypoint (or take the cursor waypoint from the map), and activate. The HSI slews to the direct course.

5. Couple the autopilot

Section titled “5. Couple the autopilot”

Open the AFCS controls. Engage HDG and ALT to start; then arm NAV to intercept your flight-plan course. The mode annunciator across the PFD top shows active modes in green, armed in white.

6. Fly an approach

Section titled “6. Fly an approach”

From FPL, choose Select Approach, pick a procedure at your destination, and load it. Approach guidance arms once you’re established inbound.
