The range key (R) allows you to select the desired map scale. Use
the up arrow side of the key to zoom out or the down arrow side to
zoom in.
The direct-to key (D) allows you to enter a destination waypoint and
establishes a direct course to the selected destination.
The menu key (m) displays a context-sensitive options list. The options list
allows you to make settings changes which relate to the currently displayed

The enter key (E) is used to approve an operation or complete data
entry. It is also used to confirm information, such as during power on.
The large right knob (t) is used to select between the various
page groups: NAV, WPT, AUX or NRST. With the on-screen cursor
enabled, the
large right knob allows you to move the cursor about the page.

The CDI key (C) is used to toggle which navigation source (GPS or
VLOC) provides output to an external HSI or CDI.
The OBS key (O) is used to select manual or automatic sequencing
of waypoints. Pressing the OBS key selects OBS mode, which will retain
the current “active to” waypoint as your navigation reference even after
passing the waypoint (i.e., prevents sequencing to the next waypoint).
Pressing the OBS key again will return to normal operation, with
automat- ic sequencing of waypoints. Whenever OBS mode is selected,
you may set the desired course to/from a waypoint using the OBS Page,
or an external OBS selector on your HSI or CDI.
The message key (M) is used to view system messages and to alert
you to important warnings and requirements.
The flight plan key (F) allows you to create, edit, activate and
invert flight plans, as well as access approaches, departures and
arrivals. A closest point to flight plan feature is also available from
the flight plan key.
The procedures key (P) allows you to select approaches, departures
and arrivals from your active flight plan. When using a flight plan,
available procedures for your departure and/or arrival airport are offered

approaches, for exam- ple, must be flown by tuning the VLOC
receiver to the proper frequency and switching the external CDI
(or HSI) connection to “VLOC”.
A selected approach may be activated or loaded. Activating the
approach overrides the “enroute” portion of the active flight plan,
pro- ceeding directly to the “approach” portion (for a full approach,
directly to the approach transition). Activating the approach also
initiates automatic CDI scaling transitions as the approach
progresses.
In many cases, it may be easiest to “Load” the full approach
while still some distance away, enroute to the destination airport.
Later, if vectored to final, use the following steps to select
“Activate Vector-To-Final”— which makes the inbound course to
the FAF waypoint active. Otherwise,

following general guidelines in mind while flying the approach:
• You will typically select the destination airport as the last waypoint
in the active flight plan or using the D key. Doing so ensures
that the desired waypoint will automatically appear when
choosing the “Select Approach?” option from the procedures page.
(Otherwise, you must first choose the airport, then the approach
procedure.)
• When a localizer-based approach (such as an ILS) is loaded,
the desired frequency is automatically placed in standby on the
VLOC
window. To activate the frequency, press the V
key.
• If the VLOC receiver will be used for the approach, be sure to
switch the external CDI (or HSI) to “VLOC” by pressing
the C key (“VLOC” will appear directly above the C key;
see page 10).
• An “Auto ILS CDI” setting provides automatic switching to “VLOC”
once established inbound on the final course segment of an
approach.
• As you progress to each approach waypoint, a waypoint alert
message (“NEXT DTK ###°”) will appear in the lower right
corner of the display. (See page 10.)

monitor- ing (RAIM) will monitor satellite conditions and alert
you—using an “INTEG” or “WARN” annunciation at the bottom
left corner of the display (see page 10)—if protection limits cannot
be maintained. If this occurs, the GPS receiver should not be used
for primary naviga- tion guidance. Revert to an alternate
navigation source, or select an alternate destination airport.
• Within 30 nautical miles of the destination airport, CDI scaling
will transition from 5.0 nautical miles (enroute mode; or “ENR”) to
1.0 nau- tical mile (terminal mode; or “TERM”)—or when leaving the
departure airport, from 1.0 nm to 5.0 nm. Within 2.0 nautical
miles of the final approach fix, GPS-based approaches will see a
second transition from
1.0 nautical mile to 0.3 nautical mile (approach mode; or “APR”)
• A “START PROC TRN” prompt will appear in the lower right
corner of the display to advise you when you are at a safe distance
to initiate a procedure turn. The procedure turn is displayed on
the map page, but guidance through the turn itself is not
provided.
• Alerts for proper holding pattern entry (e.g. “HOLD DIRECT”) are
displayed in the lower right corner of the display. Waypoint
sequenc- ing is automatically suspended (indicated by “SUSP”
