NOTE: The GNS 430 allows the pilot to create
a new user waypoint at a defined radial and
distance from the present position. To reference
the present position, follow the preceding steps,
but press the
CLR
Key in Step 4. ‘P.POS’ appears
in the reference waypoint (REF WPT) field to
indicate that radial and distance information
references the present position. The second
reference waypoint field (REF WPT) is a temporary
reference only, not a reference that is stored with
the user waypoint. By default, this field displays
a radial from the nearest VOR. However, the pilot
can select any waypoint by identifier to use as
a reference in this field. The GNS 430 can store
user-defined waypoints which are generated
from other equipment in the panel. For example,
an EFIS equipped with joystick inputs can be used
to create user waypoints which (if the installation
supports this) automatically transfer to the GNS
430.
Creating User Waypoints from the Map Page
The Map Page and panning target pointer (Section 3.4,
Map Panning) provide a quick means of saving the present
position as a user-defined waypoint.
To capture and save the present position as
a user waypoint:
1) With the Map Page displayed, press the small
right
knob to activate the panning function.
The target pointer appears at the present
position (Figure 7-43).
