Data collection and transmission system (FASTBOX), if
installed
The data collection and transmission system collects data from airplane data buses
and discrete inputs and stores it in resident non-volatile memory.
When the airplane is on the ground and a few minutes after the engine shut-down,
recorded data are automatically transmitted to a ground station via the cellular or WiFi
network. These data are intended to be used for maintenance and trend monitoring.
The data collection and transmission system records data from the GASC and data
from the GIA (GARMIN integrated flight deck system).
The data collection and transmission system starts recording data as soon as the
engine is running, and stops recording data when the engine is shutdown.
The data collection and transmission system is installed in the front cargo
compartment, and does not require a pilot input to operate.
The data collection and transmission system is powered from the BATT BUS and
protected by the REC circuit breaker.
GARMIN Integrated Flight Deck (GIFD) approaches
The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the GIFD capabilities and
operation related to GIFD Approaches.
Detailed descriptions as well as operating instructions of these approaches are
provided in the applicable Pilot’s Guide and Cockpit Reference Guide.
RNP approaches operation
The GIFD is capable of performing approaches with GNSS guidance also designated
as RNP approaches.
RNAV (GPS) or RNAV (GNSS) –
LNAV, LNAV+V
LNAV approaches provide lateral GPS-based guidance to legs defined by the
navigation database.
Vertical deviations may be available if the necessary information to construct a vertical
path is contained in the database.
Any vertical path information for LNAV approaches is strictly advisory.
There is no guarantee that stepdown fix altitudes will be honored and the crew must
level off at the MDA if the runway is not visible.
