The Gemini Series ADI has minimal required setup before the first flight Ensure that the instrument is powered down until after the engine is running Once the engine is running and with the aircraft still stationary apply power to the Gemini The DG pointer has different colors to show GPS signal status Red No GPS signal detected White GPS signal detected and good GPS fix Gemini Display The diagram at right illustrates some of the features of the Gemini ADI display The pitch display of the Gemini ADI is velocity vector This is not pitch attitude but rather the flight path of the aircraft Changes in pitch attitude will be registered and displayed with gyroscopic information Over the long term the pitch scale displays the vertical speed of the aircraft This creates a simple to use instrument for maintaining altitude As long as the reference plane is on the horizon line the aircraft is maintaining altitude regardless of power setting or pitch attitude This coupled with the flashing low airspeed warning indicator it makes a great instrument for warning of an impending stall Gemini 4 Slip Indicator gt Er 4 Std Rate a Turn ee Vol 1 1000 FPM Bank Angle Using the Touch Screen The Gemini ADI has a touch screen interface It is a capacitive touch display and therefore does not require very much pressure on the display to operate There are several functions of the touch screen with the
