Perform a RAIM Prediction
RAIM prediction predicts if GPS coverage is available for any waypoint. This is used when WAAS satellites or
corrections are not available. If WAAS corrections are not available, vertical guidance will not be available for
an approach.
1. Highlight a waypoint in the active flight plan or select a waypoint from the database. Press
INFO
and
then press the
RAIM
function smart key when it is shown.
2. Press the
CRSR
knob in. One of the fields will be highlighted. Change the values of the Arrival Date
and/or Arrival Time (in UTC time) with the
Small
knob while moving to a value with the
Large
knob.
The default calculation is the ETA to the last waypoint in the active flight plan. When selecting a
waypoint from the database other than one in the active flight plan, the default calculation is the ETA
from the present position to the waypoint.
3. After setting the values, press the
Menu/Enter
key to compute the RAIM prediction.
