When you turn on your EFIS/One, the main screen will appear similar to the picture below.  The system takes about 10 seconds to boot, and another 10-15 seconds to acquire a GPS lock and you’re ready to go.

 

 

The upper left quarter of the screen is the Attitude Indicator area.  It displays attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, and much more.  Terrain is depicted here to look like it does when you’re looking out the front window.  Terrain at or above your altitude is indicated in red.

We're looking at a flat area here.

 

The lower left quarter of the screen displays the magnetic heading in a vertical compass card format.  A variety of other information is found in this section, including with ground track, wind speed and direction, distance and time to the next waypoint, and current Lat/Lon.

Your choice of two engine sensor values are shown in the lower left corner.

 

The moving map is shown on the entire right side of the screen.  Your aircraft is in the center, and you have the choice of north-up or track-up modes.  There are several kinds of maps that can be displayed, including terrain, low IFR, and high IFR.

 

Engine Gauges are only displayed on the screen when you ask for them (by clicking the knob once) or if a sensor reaches a red-line or dead-line value.  The engine instruments are displayed in a window over the moving map as shown here.
