Cockpit Reference Guide for the Prodigy® Flight Deck 300
190-00761-03 Rev. A
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon
the use of the terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance feature is NOT
intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does
not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings
during flight. The terrain avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for
terrain avoidance. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin
is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.
WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory
in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and
terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts
for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in
the system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information
remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their
own risk.
WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for
primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other
approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to
enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Traffic information shown on system displays is provided as an
aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only
upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near,
or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data
link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather
product age.
Cockpit Reference Guide for the Prodigy® Flight Deck 300
190-00761-03 Rev. A
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: The Prodigy
®
Integrated Flight Deck, as installed in the Embraer
Phenom 300 aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity. However,
the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability
for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may
be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication
shown by the system. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such
an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated
information available in the cockpit.
WARNING: For safety reasons, system operational procedures must be learned
on the ground.
WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the system utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the Prodigy
®
Pilot’s Guide documentation and the
Embraer Phenom 300 Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic
operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare
indications from the system to all available navigation sources, including
the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety
purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use
the system to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified
as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”
WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product may contain mercury (HG) and must
be recycled or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. For
more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/aboutGarmin/
environment/disposal.jsp.
Cockpit Reference Guide for the Prodigy® Flight Deck 300
190-00761-03 Rev. A
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the
system within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and
heading indications. North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes. South of
70° South latitude at all longitudes. North of 65° North latitude between
longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada). North of 70° North latitude
between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada). North of 70° North
latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia). South of
55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of
Australia and New Zealand).
WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as
a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are
derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.
CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special
anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive
cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-
REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean,
lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-
reflective coatings.
CAUTION: The system does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs
should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized
repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority
to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect
the most current system and databases. Depictions of equipment may differ
slightly from the actual equipment.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from
government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the
data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive
harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition
65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please
refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.
NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can
cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft
is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the
source of the interference should alleviate the condition.
NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim
or blank.
NOTE: The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot a
resource with which to find operating instructions on the major features of
the Prodigy
®
system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive
operating guide. Complete operating procedures for the system are found
in the Prodigy

CONTROLLER PILOT DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS (OPTIONAL)
The CPDLC (Controller Pilot Data Link Communications) system provides data link
communication between the aircraft and an Air Traffic Control facility. Communication
is normally in the form of text message elements that resemble phraseology used in
voice communications with ATC.
Generally, messages are closed with an acknowledgement or acceptance. When a
message is acknowledged, the connection with the ATC facility is not terminated, but
kept active for future communication.
Communication hand-off to the next ATC facility is usually performed automatically,
but may also be accomplished manually by the pilot.
Connecting to the CPDLC System
A flight plan must be filed prior to logging on to the CPDLC system. After entering
flight plan information in the required fields and successfully logging on to the system,
messages may be sent and received.
The following parameters are used to log on to the system:
• Facility

Altitudes associated with arrival and approach procedures are “auto-designated”.
This means the system will automatically use the altitudes loaded with the arrival
or approach for giving vertical flight path guidance outside the FAF. Note that these
altitudes will be displayed as small light blue text.
Altitudes that are designated for use in vertical navigation may also be made “non-
designated” by placing the cursor over the desired altitude and pressing the CLR Key.
The altitude is now displayed only as a reference. It will not be used to give vertical
flight path guidance. Other displayed altitudes may change due to re-calculations
or rendered invalid as a result of manually changing an altitude to a non-designated
altitude.
NOTE: Making course changes greater than 90° during a descent with vertical
guidance may cause excessive and rapid movement of the vertical deviation
indicator, and SVT Pathways.
The system updates vertical path guidance continuously using ground speed and
the calculated distance to the Bottom of Descent (BOD). Due to turn anticipation
guidance (turn-smoothing), distance to the BOD can be affected by course changes
greater than approximately 5 degrees. Ground speed can be affected by factors such as
shifts in wind direction, aircraft power management, pitch angle, and course changes.
Abrupt and/or substantial changes to either the distance to the BOD, ground speed, or
both can cause similarly abrupt/substantial changes in vertical path guidance.
Because of turn-smoothing, changes to both distance to the BOD and ground speed
tend to be more extreme when the BOD is also a waypoint that marks a large course
change. These speed and distance changes will be accounted for in the computed
required vertical path and reflected in the vertical guidance indications.

CONNEXT WEATHER (OPTIONAL)
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,
near or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data
link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine
the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due
to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link
transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product
may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.
Weather data is provided when the pilot initiates either a manual or automatic
Connext data request on the Connext Weather Data Link Page on the MFD. No
weather data is displayed until the first Connext Weather Data Request is made.

Accessing Connext Weather Products
1)
Turn the large
FMS
Knob to select the Map Page Group.
2)
Turn the small
FMS
Knob to select the Connext Weather Data Link Page.
When a weather product is selected for display on the Connext Weather Data Link
Page, a box containing a symbol for the product and its age (in minutes) are shown
in the upper right. If weather data has not been requested, ‘N/A’ is shown next to the
product symbol instead of age. The age of the weather product is based on the time
difference between when the data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS
time. Weather products are updated continuously or refreshed at specific intervals
(defined in the Refresh Rate column in the following table).
If for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the defined Expiration
Time intervals, the data is considered expired and is removed from the display. The
age of the expired product is replaced by dashes. If more than half of the expiration
time has elapsed, the color of the product age readout changes to yellow.
The refresh rate represents the interval at which the Connext servers make available
the most current known weather data. It does not necessarily represent the rate at
which new content is received from weather sources.

closed while the data request is processing by pressing the FMS Knob; the data request
will continue to process in the background. Connext Data Requests typically take
between 1 to 4 minutes to complete depending on the size of the selected weather
coverage area and Iridium signal strength.
The system retrieves all available Connext Weather products within the selected
coverage area during an initial Connext Data Request, regardless of which products (if
any) are currently enabled for display. On subsequent requests, previously retrieved
textual data (such as METARs and TAFs) is retained if it has not expired, while new
textual weather data matching the current coverage area and all graphical weather data
is downloaded during every data request.

Precipitation
Precipitation data is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing,
and dissemination of radar images can be significant and may not reflect the current
radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should
be used for long-range planning purposes only.
NOTE: Precipitation data cannot be displayed on the Navigation Map Page
at the same time as terrain.

Precipitation Limitations
Radar images may have certain limitations:
• Radar base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine cloud
layers or precipitation characteristics (wet hail vs. rain). For example, it is not
possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain.
• Radar base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An
individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges. It has
no information about storms directly over the site.
• When zoomed in to a range of 30 nm, each square block on the display represents
an area of four square kilometers.
The following may cause abnormalities in displayed radar images:
• Ground clutter
• Strobes and spurious radar data
• Sun strobes (when the radar antenna points directly at the sun)
• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows
• Metallic dust from military aircraft, which can cause alterations in radar scans
Infrared Satellite
Infrared Satellite (IR SAT) data depicts cloud top temperatures from satellite
imagery. Brighter cloud top colors indicate cooler temperatures occurring at higher
altitudes.

Data Link Lightning
Lightning data shows the approximate location of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes.
A strike icon represents a strike that has occurred within a two-kilometer region.
Neither cloud-to-cloud nor the exact location of the lightning strike is displayed.
If the aircraft is also equipped with an on-board lightning detection system (e.g.,
L-3 WX-500 Stormscope®), only one lightning product may be enabled for display at

SYNTHETIC VISION (OPTIONAL)
WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. SVT is intended as an aid to situational
awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon
which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain,
obstacles, or traffic.
Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) functionality is offered as an optional
enhancement to the Prodigy® Flight Deck 300.
SVT is primarily comprised of a computer-generated forward-looking, attitude
aligned view of the topography immediately in front of the aircraft from the pilot’s
perspective. SVT information is shown on the primary flight display (PFD).
SVT offers a three-dimensional view of terrain and obstacles. Terrain and
obstacles that pose a threat to the aircraft in flight are shaded yellow or red.
In addition to SVT enhancement to the PFD, the following feature enhancements
have been added to the PFD:
• Pathways
• Flight Path Marker
• Horizon Heading Marks
• Terrain and Obstacle Alerting
• Three-dimensional Traffic
• Airport Signs

TERMINAL PROCEDURE CHARTS
NOTE: With the availability of SafeTaxi
®
, ChartView, or FliteCharts
®
, it may
be necessary to carry another source of charts on-board the aircraft.
SafeTaxi®
SafeTaxi® is an enhanced feature that gives greater map detail as the map range
is adjusted in on the airport. The airport display on the map reveals runways with
numbers, taxiways identifiers, and airport landmarks including ramps, buildings,
control towers, and other prominent features. Resolution is greater at lower map
ranges. The aircraft symbol provides situational awareness while taxiing.
Selecting the DCLTR Softkey (declutter) once removes the taxiway markings and
airport identification labels. Selecting the DCLTR Softkey twice removes VOR station
ID, the VOR symbol, and intersection names if within the airport plan view. Selecting
the DCLTR Softkey a third time removes the airport runway layout, unless the airport
in view is part of an active route structure. Selecting the DCLTR Softkey again cycles
back to the original map detail.
The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports.
These diagrams provide the pilot with situational awareness by displaying the aircraft
position in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This
information should not be used by the pilot as the basis for maneuvering the aircraft
on the ground. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle.
ChartView (Optional)
ChartView resembles the paper version of Jeppesen terminal procedures charts.
The charts are displayed in full color with high-resolution. The MFD depiction shows
the aircraft position on the moving map in the plan view of most approach charts and
on airport diagrams.
The ChartView database is updated on a 14-day cycle. If the ChartView database
is not updated within 70 days of the expiration date, ChartView will no longer
function.
FliteCharts® (Optional)
FliteCharts® resemble the paper version of AeroNav Services terminal procedures
charts. The charts are displayed with high-resolution and in color for applicable
charts. The MFD depiction shows the aircraft position on the moving map in the plan
view of most approach charts and on airport diagrams.

REVERSIONARY MODE
If the system detects a failure in PFD1 or MFD, reversionary mode is entered
automatically. Reversionary mode must be entered manually in the case of
PFD2 failure.
In reversionary mode, critical flight instrumentation is combined with
engine instrumentation on the remaining display.
Manual activation of reversionary display mode is accomplished by pressing the
DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the appropriate audio panel.
• PFD1 – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the left audio panel.
• MFD – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the left or the right
audio panel.
• PFD2 – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the right audio
panel.
ABNORMAL COM OPERATION
When a COM tuning failure is detected by the system, the emergency frequency
(121.500 MHz) is automatically loaded into the active frequency field of the COM
radio for which the tuning failure was detected. In the event of a failure of both PFDs,
the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) automatically becomes the active frequency
on both COM radios.

AUDIO PANEL FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
If there is a failure of both Audio Panels, a fail-safe circuit connects the pilot’s
headset and microphone directly to the COM1 transceiver and the copilot’s headset
directly to the COM2 transceiver. Audio is not available on the speakers. If there is a
failure of one Audio Panel, that side only has access to their respective on-side fail-safe
COM.
NOTE: Audio is not available on the speakers in case of an Audio Panel and
its cross-side GIA unit simultaneous failure.
If there is a failure of one Audio Panel, the remaining Audio Panel does not have
access to the other side’s COM or NAV. For example, if the pilot side Audio Panel
fails, the copilot side Audio Panel has access to all the radios except for COM1 and
NAV1. In this case, the copilot can receive the audio from NAV2 and operate COM2
for transmission/reception.
In addition, if there is a failure of one Audio Panel, the following functions are no
longer available on the failed side; NAV/ILS audio, speaker, cockpit/cockpit-passengers
intercom, aural warning alerts on headset, entertainment inputs, and digital recording
radio. Also, if a stereo headset is in use, and an Audio Panel fails, only the left channel
will be heard in the headphones.

DEAD RECKONING
While in Enroute or Oceanic phase of flight, if the system detects an invalid GPS
solution or is unable to calculate a GPS position, the system automatically reverts to
Dead Reckoning (DR) Mode. In DR Mode, the system uses its last-known position
combined with continuously updated airspeed and heading data (when available) to
calculate and display the aircraft’s current estimated position.
NOTE: Dead Reckoning Mode only functions in Enroute (ENR) or Oceanic
(OCN) phase of flight. In all other phases, an invalid GPS solution produces
a “NO GPS POSITION” annunciation on the map and the system stops
navigating in GPS Mode.
DR Mode is indicated by the appearance of the letters ‘DR’ superimposed in yellow
over the ‘own aircraft’ symbol as shown in the following figure. In addition, ‘DR’ is

prominently displayed, also in yellow, on the HSI slightly above and to the right of the
aircraft symbol on the CDI as shown in the following figure. Also, the CDI deviation
bar is removed from the display. Lastly, but at the same time, a ‘GPS NAV LOST’ alert
message appears on the PFD.
Normal navigation using GPS/SBAS source data resumes automatically once a valid
GPS solution is restored.
It is important to note that estimated navigation data supplied by the system in
DR Mode may become increasingly unreliable and must not be used as a sole means
of navigation. If, while in DR Mode, airspeed and/or heading data is also lost or
not available, the DR function may not be capable of estimating your position and,
consequently, the system may display a path that is different than the actual movement
of the aircraft. Estimated position information displayed by the system through
DR while there is no heading and/or airspeed data available should not be used for
navigation.
DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS/SBAS Mode due to the
lack of satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed
and/or wind direction compounds the relative inaccuracy of DR Mode. Because of this
degraded accuracy, the crew must maintain position awareness using other navigation
equipment until GPS-derived position data is restored.

As a result of operating in DR Mode, all GPS-derived data is computed based upon
an estimated position and is displayed as yellow text on the display to denote degraded
navigation source information. This data includes the following:
• Navigation Status Box fields except Active Leg, TAS, and DTK
• GPS Bearing Pointer
• Wind data and pointers in the Wind Data Box on the PFD
• Current Track Indicator
• All Bearing Pointer Distances
• Active Flight Plan distances, bearings, and ETE values
Also, while the system is in DR Mode, the autopilot will not couple to GPS, and
TAWS is disabled. Additionally, the accuracy of all nearest information (airports,
airspaces, and waypoints) is questionable. Finally, airspace alerts continue to function,
but with degraded accuracy.

FLIGHT PLAN IMPORT/EXPORT MESSAGES
In some circumstances, some messages may appear in conjunction with others.
Flight Plan Import/Export
Results
Description
‘Flight plan successfully imported.’ A flight plan file stored on the SD card was successfully
imported as a stored flight plan.
‘File contained user waypoints only.
User waypoints imported success-
fully. No stored flight plan data was
modified.’
The file stored on the SD card did not contain a flight plan,
only user waypoints. These waypoints have been saved to the
system user waypoints. No flight plans stored in the system
have been modified.
‘No flight plan files found to import.’ The SD card contains no flight plan data.
‘Flight plan import failed.’ Flight plan data was not successfully imported from the SD card.
‘Flight plan partially imported.’ Some flight plan waypoints were successfully imported from
the SD card, however others had errors and were not imported.
A partial stored flight plan now exists in the system.
‘File contained user waypoints only.’ The file stored on the SD card did not contain a flight plan,
only user waypoints. One or more of these waypoints did not
import successfully.
‘Too many points. Flight plan trun-
cated.’
The flight plan on the SD card contains more waypoints than
the system can support. The flight plan was imported with as
many waypoints as possible.
‘Some waypoints not loaded. Way-
points locked.’
The flight plan on the SD card contains one or more waypoints
that the system cannot find in the navigation database. The
flight plan has been imported, but must be edited within the
system before it can be activated for use.
‘User waypoint database full. Not all
loaded.’
The flight plan file on the SD card contains user waypoints.
The quantity of stored user waypoints has exceeded system
capacity, therefore not all the user waypoints on the SD card
have been imported. Any flight plan user waypoints that were
not imported are locked in the flight plan. The flight plan must
be edited within the system before it can be activated for use.
‘One or more user waypoints renamed.’ One or more imported user waypoints were renamed when
imported due to naming conflicts with waypoints already
existing in the system.
‘Flight plan successfully exported.’ The stored flight plan was successfully exported to the SD card.
‘Flight plan export failed.’ The stored flight plan was not successfully exported to the SD
card. The SD card may not have sufficient available memory or
the card may have been removed prematurely.

Upon power-up, the system detects that a
stored flight plan waypoint is locked. This
occurs when an navigation database update
eliminates an obsolete waypoint. The flight
plan cannot find the specified waypoint and
flags this message. This can also occur with
user waypoints in a flight plan that is deleted.
Remove the waypoint from the flight plan if it
no longer exists in any database,
Or
update the waypoint name/identifier to reflect
the new information.

UPDATING DATABASES
CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database.
Power interruption during the database loading process could result in
maintenance being required to reboot the system.
NOTE: When loading database updates, the ‘DB Mismatch’ message will
be displayed until database synchronization is complete, followed by turning
system power off, then on. Synchronization can be monitored on the AUX-
SYSTEM STATUS Page.
NOTE: DO NOT use the database SD cards for any purpose other than database
storage.
In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order
to make the database product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system
configured by a Garmin authorized service facility in order to use some database
features.
If an error occurs during synchronization, an error message will be displayed,
followed by the affected display in the Sync Status section of the Database Window. If
synchronization completes on one display, but an error occurs on another, the error
message will be displayed with the affected displays listed after it. When an error
message is displayed, the problem must be corrected before synchronization can be
completed. A power cycle is required to restart synchronization when ‘Card Full’ or
‘Err’ is shown.
Error Message Description
Canceled Database synchronization has been canceled by removing the
bottom SD card in display being updated
Card Full SD card does not contain sufficient memory
Err Displayed for all other errors that may cause the synchronization
process to be halted
Timeout System timed-out prior to the database transfer completing
