How do I skip a waypoint in an approach, departure,
or arrival?
The 500W-series unit allows you to manually select
any approach, departure or arrival leg as the active leg of
your flight plan. This procedure is performed from the
Active Flight Plan Page by highlighting the desired way-
point and pressing the
direct-to
key twice, then
ENT
to
approve the selection (see illustration left). The GPS then
provides navigation along the selected flight plan leg, so
ensure that you have clearance to that position. See
Section
4 - Flight Plans - Flight Plan Options
for more information.
NOTE:
If activating a leg while on the From side,
sequencing will be suspended as indicated with
the SUSP annunciation shown above the
OBS
key.
How do I fly the GPS with an autopilot and DG head-
ing bug?
If you do not have an HSI, you should make your
course selections on the external CDI’s
OBS
knob and the
DG heading bug.
When does turn anticipation begin, and what bank
angle is expected?
The 500W-series unit smooths adjacent leg transitions
based upon a nominal 15º bank angle (with the ability to
increase the bank angle up to 30º) and provide three pilot
cues for turn anticipation:
1) A waypoint alert (“Left or Right to ###° in xx sec”)
flashes in the lower right corner of the screen 10
seconds before the turn point.
2) A flashing turn advisory (“Left or Right to ###° now”)
appears in the lower right corner of the screen when
you are to begin the turn. Set the HSI to the next
DTK value and begin the turn.
3) The To/From indicator on the HSI (or CDI) flips
momentarily to indicate that you have crossed the
midpoint of the turn. For more information on
waypoint alerts and turn advisories, see
Section 5
.
When does the CDI scale change and what does it
change to?
The CDI scale is 1.0 NM (terminal mode) within 31
NM of the departure airport. The CDI will smoothly scale
to 2.0 NM (en route mode) once beyond 31 NM from the
departure airport.
The unit begins a smooth CDI scale transition from the
2.0 NM (en route mode) to the 1.0 NM (terminal mode)
scale within 31 NM from the destination airport. When
within 45° of the final approach course and the FAF is
the TO waypoint, the 500W-series unit switches from ter-
