GENERAL
General
The airplane navigation system provides
visual and aural information to the flight
crew to safely maneuver and navigate the
airplane. This information is in operation
during pre-takeoff, takeoff, en route flight,
approach and landing. When the airplane is
in an air traffic controlled area it also
transmits information to ground control
personnel to determine airplane identity,
location and altitude.
Compass Systems
There are two compass systems. Each
compass system is stabilized by an
associated directional gyro and receives
magnetic heading inputs from an
associated flux valve. Compass heading is
displayed on the compass indicators and
NDs at all times.
VHF Navigation System
There are two independent VHF navigation
systems: VOR1/LOC1 and VOR2/LOC2.
Automatic Direction Finding Systems
The single ADF system consists of a control
panel, receiver, a loop antenna and a sense
antenna. The control panel on the pedestal
selects the operating mode and frequency
for the ADF system. The ADF system provides
bearing input to the two pointers on the
Compass indicator. There is only one ADF
system installed in this aircraft.
Marker Beacon System
The pre-tuned marker beacon system
provides visual and aural signals to the flight
crew. Symbols displayed on the PFD provide
visual position indications when passing over
an outer, middle, or an inner/airway marker.
An aural tone will sound simultaneously with
the symbol.
