If you exceed certain parameters that would not be expected in IFR flight you automatically receive an alert on your display with the EAI in the corner of your screen.

The Electronic Attitude Indicator is a solid state device that uses accelerometers on 3 separate axis to measure pitch, roll and yaw. Power and data are through the USB cable shown above. Although for supplemental use only, the electronic attitude indicator adds an invaluable layer of safety should your primary attitude indicator fail.
