    EFIS In Flight Restart

    Hi.

    Is there a procedure for EFIS in flight restart with VPX? If so, can you please post the process / link? Thanks

    No, the VPX will not let you power down the EFIS that controls it. You would have to disrupt all power from the batteries and the alternator to both the VPX and EFIS to accomplish it, which would be very risky and unwise.

    Isn't there a procedure for rebooting by holding down two buttons on Efis for 30-40 seconds?

    OK. So, if I am in the air and need to restart the EFIS. Is there a procedure for doing so? ADHRS alignment, etc.

    The VPx allows me to reset the breaker for one unit at a time, which is good. But, then we need to align the ADHRS.

    Please advise.

    You need to maintain straight and level while it aligns, it should have instructions on the EFIS screen.

    What two buttons are pressed to reset in flight? I have a AFS-5600 touch.

    I'm sorry, but what is the "top encoder"?
