Garmin G5 Battery Backup and Pitot Static Connection

In this video I go over the Garmin G5 and its backup battery feature and its pitot-static connection requirements.
Since the Garmin G5 is replacing a traditionally engine driven vacuum pump gyro based instrument, such as the Attitude Indicator or the Directional Gyro, it needs a backup battery to ensure that it can continue to operate for an extended time period if the aircraft loses its Alternator and Battery electrical power sources.
This video shows how to check the backup battery life, and to determine if the battery needs to be replaced.
I also go over the Garmin G5's need for a pitot-static connection so that the Garmin G5 can provide secondary airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed information over the PFD (Primary Flight Display) when in attitude indicator mode.
Lastly, I show how the HSI (Horizontal Situational Indicator) can easily be switched to function as a backup PFD. #aviation #flying #flight #airplane #garmin #flighttraining
