7.1  WPT PAGE GROUP

Section 3.1 introduced the GNS 530’s main page groups 

(Table  7-1)—NAV,  WPT,  AUX,  NRST—and  described 
each  page  in  the  NAV  group.    This  second  page  group 
(WPT) provides information for the thousands of airports, 
VORs,  NDBs, 

intersections,  runways,  frequencies,  and 

procedures stored on the Jeppesen NavData card.  A WPT 

page  is  also  provided  to  display  information  for  up  to 
1,000 user-created waypoints.

Figure 7-1  WPT Pages

Quickly selecting a WPT page:

1)  From any page, press and hold the 

CLR

 Key to 

select the Default NAV Page (this step may be 
skipped if the unit is already displaying any of 
the main pages.)

2)  Turn the large 

right

 knob to select the WPT 

Page Group.  ‘WPT’ appears along the bottom 
of the screen.

3)  Turn the small 

right

 knob to select the desired 

WPT page.

 

NOTE:   The  GNS  530  uses  International  Civil 
Aviation Organization (ICAO) identifiers for all 
airports.  All U.S. airport identifiers which contain 
only letters use the prefix ‘K’.  For example, Los 
Angeles International is KLAX under the ICAO 
standard.  Other airports, such as Otten Memorial 
(3VS), that contain numbers in the identifier, do 
not require the ‘K’ prefix.  Many foreign countries 
use two letter prefixes.

The 

WPT  Page  Group  includes  ten  pages  (Figure 

 

7-1).  While viewing any WPT page, turn the small 

right

 

knob to select a different WPT page.  The first six pages 

provide  detailed  information  for  the  selected  airport: 
location, runways, frequencies, approaches, arrivals, and 
departures.  The last four pages provide information for 

intersections, NDBs, VORs, and user-created waypoints.

After a WPT page is selected, information for a waypoint 

may be viewed by entering the identifier (or name) of the 
desired  waypoint.    Airports,  NDBs,  and  VORs  may  be 
selected by identifier, facility name, or location (city).
