A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of information for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. Garmin obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot independently verify the accuracy of the information. WARNING: Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for verification of displayed aeronautical information. Displayed aeronautical data may not incorporate the latest NOTAM information. WARNING: Do not use geometric altitude for compliance with air traffic control altitude requirements. The primary barometric altimeter must be used for compliance with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements, instructions, and clearances. WARNING: Do not use basemap information (land and water data) as the sole means of navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered only an aid to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous

weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be older than the indicated weather product age. WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: Always obtain qualified instruction prior to operational use of this equipment. WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be positioned in error as displayed. WARNING: Do not rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/DH when flying an approach with vertical guidance. The autopilot will not level the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude preselect. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 190-00629-04 Rev. A WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain, obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or traffic. WARNING: Do not use the Garmin SVT runway depiction as the sole means for determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining the proper approach path angle during landing. WARNING: Do not rely on information from a lightning detection system display as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system manufacturer for detailed information about the system. WARNING: Do not operate the weather radar in a transmitting mode when personnel or objects are within the MPEL boundary. WARNING: Always position the weather radar gain setting to Calibrated for viewing the actual intensity of precipitation. Changing the gain in weather mode causes precipitation intensity to be displayed as a color not representative of the true intensity. WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS is intended only to enhance situational awareness. WARNING : Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QNH altimeter setting for height above mean sea level, or the standard pressure setting, as applicable. CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners containing ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating. CAUTION: Do not allow repairs to be made by anyone other than an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and affect the airworthiness of the aircraft. 190-00629-04 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power interruption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system. NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through official sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control. NOTE All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the system panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current system and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment. NOTE: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition. NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim or blank. NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65. NOTE: Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings, metal structures, or electromagnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result in nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut down, or while taxiing. If one or more of the sensed values are unavailable, the annunciation indicates no comparison is possible. NOTE: The system responds to a terminal procedure based on data coded within that procedure in the Navigation Database. Differences in system operation may be observed among similar types of procedures due to differences in the Navigation Database coding specific to each procedure. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 190-00629-04 Rev. A WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the following: • It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System. • Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen that have a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs). A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each applicable database and can be viewed at http://fly.garmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Declarations.’ • Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in accordance with established pertinent aircraft documents and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment. NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at www.flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Database Exclusions List.’ NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can be viewed at www.flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Alerts.’ NOTE: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support. NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.com and select ‘Aviation Data Error Report’. NOTE: Electronic aeronautical charts displayed on this system have been shown to meet the guidance in AC 120-76D as a Type B Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for FliteCharts and ChartView. The accuracy of the charts is subject to the chart data provider. Own-ship position on airport surface charts cannot be guaranteed to meet the accuracy specified in AC 120-76D. Possible additional requirements may make a secondary source of aeronautical charts, such as traditional paper charts or an additional electronic display, necessary on the aircraft and available to the pilot. If the secondary source of aeronautical charts is a Portable Electronic Device (PED), its use must be consistent with the guidance in AC 120-76D. 190-00629-04 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authorization, training, and possession of the corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special Procedure in the navigation database DOES NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure. NOTE: Terrain and obstacle alerting is not available north of 89º North latitude and south of 89º South latitude. This is due to limitations present within the Terrain database and the system’s ability to process the data representing the affected areas. NOTE: The nose of the ‘own ship’ symbol represents the location of the aircraft. The center of any traffic symbol represents the location of that traffic. The traffic and own ship symbols are an abstract representation and do not reflect the physical extent of the aircraft/traffic, and should not replace other methods for identifying traffic. NOTE: Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury (HG) and must be recycled or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. For more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/en-US/ company/environment/recycling NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause isolated discharge points in the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge points in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after the screen has been cleared. NOTE: Operate G1000 system power through at least one cycle in a period of four days of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot.

NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: See the Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM/POH) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. The G1000 system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The G1000 PFDs, MFD and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs and outputs to provide safe operation. During system initialization, test annunciations are displayed, as shown in Figure 1-6. All system annunciations should disappear typically within one minute of power-up. Upon power-up, key annunciator lights also become momentarily illuminated on the audio panels, the control units and the display bezels. On the PFD, the AHRS begins to initialize and displays ‘AHRS ALIGN: Keep Wings Level’. The AHRS should display valid attitude and heading fields typically within one minute of power-up. The AHRS can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight. When the MFD powers up (Figure 1-7), the MFD Power-up Page displays the following information: • System version • Copyright • Land database name and version • Safe Taxi database information • Terrain database name and version • Obstacle database name and version • Navigation database name, version, and effective dates • Airport Directory name, version and effective dates • FliteCharts/ChartView database information Current database information includes the valid operating dates, cycle number and database type. When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. Pressing the ENT Key acknowledges this information and displays the Navigation Map Page. Figure 1-7 MFD Power-up Page Figure 1-6 PFD Initialization 190-00629-04 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 15 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION The displays are connected together via multiple data busses, thus allowing for high-speed communication. As shown in Figure 1-1, each GIA 63W is connected to one display. This section discusses the normal and reversionary modes of operation as well as the various AHRS modes of the G1000 system. NORMAL OPERATION PFD In normal mode, the PFD presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude and vertical speed), thereby replacing the traditional flight instrument cluster. The PFD also offers control for COM and NAV frequency selection. MFD In normal mode, the right portion of the MFD displays a full-color moving map with navigation information, while the left portion of the MFD is dedicated to the Engine Indication System (EIS). Figure 1-8 gives an example of the G1000 displays in normal mode. Figure 1-8 Normal Operation Audio Panel Primary Flight Display Multi Function Display REVERSIONARY MODE NOTE: The G1000 System alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to Appendix A for further information regarding system-specific alerts. In the event of a display failure, the G1000 System automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode. If a display fails, the appropriate IAU Ethernet interface to the display is cut off. Thus, the IAU can no longer communicate with the remaining display (refer to Figure 1-1), and the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed display by the IAU are flagged as invalid on the remaining display. The system reverts to backup paths for the AHRS, ADC, Engine/Airframe Unit, and Transponder, as required. The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs and no pilot action is required. 190-00629-04 Rev.

Pressing this button again deactivates reversionary mode. Figure 1-10 DISPLAY BACKUP Button Pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP button activates/deactivates reversionary mode for both the PFD and the MFD. Should the connection between a PFD and the on-side GIA 63W become inoperative, the on-side GIA 63W can no longer communicate with the remaining PFD (refer to Figure 1-1). As a result, the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed PFD by the on-side GIA 63W are flagged as invalid (red “X”) on the remaining PFD (see Figure 1-11). Figure 1-11 Inoperative Input (NAV1 Shown) AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for specific AHRS alert information. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 77 AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements. If either of these external measurements is unavailable or invalid, the AHRS uses air data information for attitude determination. Four AHRS modes of operation are available (see Figure 1-12) and depend upon the combination of available sensor inputs. Loss of air data, GPS, or magnetometer sensor inputs is communicated to the pilot by message advisory alerts. 190-00629-04 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 17 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX The AHRS (GRS 77) corrects for shifts and variations in the Earth’s magnetic field by applying the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The Magnetic Field Variation Database is derived from the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). The IGRF is a mathematical model that describes the Earth’s main magnetic field and its annual rate of change. The database is updated approximately every 5 years. See the Appendices for information on updating the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The system will prompt you on startup when an update is available. Failure to update this database could lead to erroneous heading information being displayed to the pilot. Attitude/Heading Invalid AHRS no-GPS Mode AHRS Normal Operation AHRS no- Mag Mode AHRS no-Mag/ no-Air Mode Heading Invalid available available unavailable unavailable available unavailable unavailable available Air Data Magnetometer Data unavailable available GPS Data Magnetometer Data Air Data Figure 1-12 AHRS Operation GPS INPUT FAILURE NOTE: In-flight initialization of AHRS, when operating without any valid source of GPS data and at true air speed values greater than approximately 200 knots, is not guaranteed. Under these rare conditions, it is possible for in-flight AHRS initialization to take an indefinite amount of time which would result in an extended period of time where valid AHRS outputs are unavailable. The G1000 system provides two sources of GPS information. If a single GPS receiver fails, or if the information provided from one of the GPS receivers is unreliable, the AHRS seamlessly transitions to using the other GPS receiver. An alert message informs the pilot of the use of the backup GPS path. If both GPS inputs fail, the AHRS continues to operate in reversionary No-GPS mode so long as the air data and magnetometer inputs are available and valid. 190-00629-04 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 18 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE A failure of the air data input has no effect on AHRS output while AHRS is operating in normal mode. A failure of the air data input while the AHRS is operating in reversionary No-GPS mode results in invalid attitude and heading information on the PFD (as indicated by red “X” flags). MAGNETOMETER FAILURE If the magnetometer input fails, the AHRS transitions to one of the reversionary No-Magnetometer modes and continues to output valid attitude information. However, if the aircraft is airborne, the heading output on the PFD does become invalid (as indicated by a red “X”). G1000 SYSTEM ANNUNCIATIONS NOTE: For a detailed description of all annunciations and alerts, refer to Appendix A. Refer to the (AFM/ POH) for additional information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations. When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red “X” is typically displayed on windows associated with the failed data (Figure 1-14 displays all possible flags and responsible LRUs).

Internal system checking is performed to ensure both GPS receivers are providing accurate data to the PFD. When both GPS receivers are providing accurate data, the GPS receiver producing the better solution is used by the system. Information collected by the specified receiver (GPS1 for the #1 IAU or GPS2 for the #2 IAU) may be viewed on the AUX - GPS Status Page. These GPS sensor annunciations are most often seen after system power-up when one GPS receiver has acquired satellites before the other, or one of the GPS receivers has not yet acquired a SBAS signal. While the aircraft is on the ground, the SBAS signal may be blocked by obstructions causing one GPS receiver to have difficulty acquiring a good signal. Also, while airborne, turning the aircraft may result in one of the GPS receivers temporarily losing the SBAS signal. If the sensor annunciation persists, check for a system failure message in the Messages Window on the PFD. If no failure message exists, check the GPS Status Page and compare the information for GPS1 and GPS2. Discrepancies may indicate a problem. 190-00629-04 Rev.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 27 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX The GPS Status Page provides the following information: • Satellite constellation diagram Satellites currently in view are shown at their respective positions on a sky view diagram. The sky view is always in a north-up orientation, with the outer circle representing the horizon, the inner circle representing 45° above the horizon, and the center point showing the position directly overhead. Each satellite is represented by an oval containing the Pseudo-random noise (PRN) number (i.e., satellite identification number). Satellites whose signals are currently being used are represented by solid ovals. • Satellite signal information status The accuracy of the aircraft’s GPS fix is calculated using Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU), Dilution of Precision (DOP), and horizontal and vertical figures of merit (HFOM and VFOM). EPU is the radius of a circle centered on an estimated horizontal position in which actual position has 95% probability of laying. EPU is a statistical error indication and not an actual error measurement. DOP measures satellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellites received and where they are relative to each other) on a range from 0.0 to 9.9, with lower numbers denoting better accuracy. HFOM and VFOM, measures of horizontal and vertical position uncertainty, are the current 95% confidence horizontal and vertical accuracy values reported by the GPS receiver. The current calculated GPS position, time, altitude, ground speed, and track for the aircraft are displayed below the satellite signal accuracy measurements. • GPS receiver status The GPS solution type (ACQUIRING, 2D NAV, 2D DIFF NAV, 3D NAV, 3D DIFF NAV) for the active GPS receiver (GPS1 or GPS2) is shown in the upper right of the GPS Status Page. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring enough satellite signals for navigation, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. ACQUIRING is indicated as the solution until a sufficient number of satellites have been acquired for computing a solution. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring a 3D differential GPS solution, 3D NAV is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential fix has finished acquisition. SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) indicates INACTIVE. When acquisition is complete, the solution status indicates 3D DIFF NAV and SBAS indicates ACTIVE. • RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) Prediction (RAIM Softkey is selected) In most cases performing a RAIM prediction is not necessary. However, in some cases, the selected approach may be outside the SBAS coverage area and it may be necessary to perform a RAIM prediction for the intended approach. Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is a GPS receiver function that performs a consistency check on all tracked satellites. RAIM ensures that the available satellite geometry allows the receiver to calculate a position within a specified RAIM protection limit (2.0 nautical miles for oceanic and enroute, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches). During oceanic, enroute, and terminal phases of flight, RAIM is available nearly 100% of the time. The RAIM prediction function also indicates whether RAIM is available at a specified date and time. RAIM computations predict satellite coverage within ±15 min of the specified arrival date and time. 190-00629-04 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft G58 28 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX Because of the tighter protection limit on approaches, there may be times when RAIM is not available. The G1000 automatically monitors RAIM and warns with an alert message when it is not available. If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the final approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the messages “Approach is not active” and “RAIM not available from FAF to MAP”. If RAIM is not available when crossing the FAF, the missed approach procedure must be flown. Predicting RAIM availability at a selected waypoint 1) Select the GPS Status Page. 2) If necessary, press the RAIM Softkey. 3) Press the FMS Knob. The ‘WAYPOINT’ field is highlighted. 4) Turn the small FMS Knob to display the Waypoint Information Window. 5) Enter the desired waypoint: a) Use the FMS Knob to enter the desired waypoint by identifier, facility, or city name and press the ENT Key. Refer to Section 1.7 for instructions on entering alphanumeric data into the G1000. Or: a) Turn the small FMS Knob counter-clockwise to display a list of flight plan waypoints (the FPL list is populated only when navigating a flight plan). b) Turn the small FMS Knob clockwise to display the NRST, RECENT, or AIRWAY waypoints, if required. c) Turn the large FMS Knob clockwise to select the desired waypoint. The G1000 automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for the selected waypoint. d) Press the ENT Key to accept the waypoint entry. 6) Use the FMS Knob to enter an arrival time and press the ENT Key. 7) Use the FMS Knob to enter an arrival date and press the ENT Key. 8) With the cursor highlighting ‘COMPUTE RAIM?’, press the ENT Key. Once RAIM availability is computed, one of the following is displayed: • ‘COMPUTE RAIM?’—RAIM has not been computed for the current waypoint, time, and date combination • ‘COMPUTING AVAILABILITY’—RAIM calculation in progress • ‘RAIM AVAILABLE’—RAIM is predicted to be available for the specified waypoint, time, and date • ‘RAIM NOT AVAILABLE’—RAIM is predicted to be unavailable for the specified waypoint, time, and date Predicting RAIM availability at present position 1) Select the GPS Status Page. 2) If necessary, press the RAIM Softkey. 3) Press the FMS Knob. The ‘WAYPOINT’ field is highlighted. 4) Press the MENU Key. 5) With ‘Set WPT to Present Position’ highlighted, press the ENT Key. 190-00629-04 Rev.

When disabled, the SBAS field in the GPS Status box indicates DISABLED. Disabling SBAS 1) Select the GPS Status Page. 2) If necessary, press the SBAS Softkey. 3) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor. 4) Turn either FMS Knob to select ‘EGNOS’ or ‘MSAS’ or ‘WAAS’, as necessary. 5) Press the ENT Key to uncheck the box. 6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 as necessary, then press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor. • GPS Satellite Signal Strengths The GPS Status Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. As the GPS receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite PRN number (01-32 or 120-138 for SBAS) below each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages, as indicated by signal bar appearance: - No bar—Receiver is looking for the indicated satellite - Hollow bar—Receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data - Light blue bar—Receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal can be used - Green bar—Satellite is being used for the GPS solution - Checkered bar—Receiver has excluded the satellite (Fault Detection and Exclusion) - “D” indication—Denotes the satellite is being used as part of the differential computations Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (signal strength bar is hollow) before the satellite may be used for navigation (signal strength bar becomes solid). 190-00629-04 Rev.
