1.
MSG Key - DEPRESS.
2.
NAV RDY - HOLD/ENTER Message - VERIFY. This message
indicates that the system is ready to enter the Primary Navigation
Mode.
3.
MSG Key - DEPRESS to verify status of all sensors. Observe
NAV RDY/NO NAV messages for appropriate sensor and refer
to the Flight Manual Supplement for limitations.
4.
HOLD Key - DEPRESS to verify departure coordinates.
5.
ENTER Key - DEPRESS twice to enter Primary Navigation
Mode.
NOTE: If the [HOLD/ENTER/ENTER] procedure had not been initi-
ated prior to takeoff, the system and the various sensors will enter
the Primary Navigation Mode automatically at weight-off-wheels, or
at a true airspeed of between 50 and 150knots, depending on config-
uration.
SIDs, STARs, APPROACHES AND ENROUTE AIRWAYS
The GNS-X
LS
SID (Standard Instrument Departure), STAR (Standard
Terminal Arrival), Approach and Airway retrieval feature is designed
to relieve flight crew workload. SIDs and STARs require such proce-
dures as flying headings and altitudes, as well as intercepting VOR
radials and DME arcs, etc. Approaches can be flown autopilot/fight
director coupled until the Missed Approach Point. Missed Approach
Procedures must then be flown manually. The GNS-X
LS
is ONLY
designed to provide meaningful input to the HSI when on a track
between two waypoints or when Pseudo Vortac (selected course)
procedures are used. THE SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO FLY
FULL SID, STAR OR MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURES.
When flying those portions of a SID or STAR that are not tracks
between fixes, the aircraft should be flown manually or in HEADING
mode. In some cases, Pseudo Vortac procedures can be used to
establish an intercept to a published track. When using the Pseudo
Vortac mode, or upon intercepting a published track between two
waypoints (fixes), the aircraft may be flown in reference to the cross
track deviation provided by the GNS-X
LS
or by coupling the GNS-X
LS
roll command to the auto pilot.
is an example of the portion of the proce-
dure that must be flown manually or in the heading mode. No refer-
ence to the GNS-X
LS
should be made at this time. The CDU display,
