GPS—FMS Disagree (indicates the computed
FMS position is different than the GPS posi-
tion by a selected amount)
GPS Not Available (indicates the FMS is not
using the GPS for position information)
NO GPS RAIM (indicates the FMS is using
the GPS but the GPS position is degraded)
As with any approved GPS navigation re-
ceiver, this system allows the check of integrity
and accuracy through certain pages in the
CDU. For a RAIM prediction it is necessary
to navigate to the Index page of the CDU and
choose GPS CNTL. On this page it is possible
to enter a desired airport and ETA. The
RAIM system will then indicate RAIM avail-
ability 15 minutes before to 15 minutes after
that entered time. The default entry for the air-
port line will automatically contain the DES-
Tination airport. ETA will be an active
number based on the loaded flight plan and
current ground speed.
INTEGRATED FLIGHT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
(IFIS)
The Integrated Flight Information System
IFIS-5000 is a part of the Pro Line 21 archi-
tecture to provide extra information storage,
increasing the available display features. The
added items known as Enhanced Maps (E-
Maps) are displayed only on the MFD and in-
clude geographic/political boundaries, airways
(high and low), and airspace. Optionally, the
IFIS system can also display downloaded
graphical weather (GWx), and Electronic
Charts (E-Charts).
The main storage unit is the File Server Unit
(FSU-5010) located in the empennage avion-
ics shelf. This contains the memory needed for
all the display options and outputs information
only to the MFD via a fast Ethernet bus. This
unit also receives inputs from a graphical
weather system, FMS(s), database update unit
and the pilot’s Cursor Control Panel (CCP)
(Figure 16-91).
The C90GTi uses a Database Unit (DBU to
update the IFIS information. The DBU-5000,
uses two USB ports located at the aft end of
the pedestal (Figure 16-92). Either port is used
to update the FMS(s), E-charts, E-maps,
graphical weather and/or maintenance items.
Once the databases are loaded onto the USB
device from a computer it is connected to one
of these ports. The remainder of the database
load is controlled through the MCDU MENU
line key on the CDU Index (Figure 16-93).
Pressing the DBU option will allow the CDU
to query the aircraft and the USB device to see
what files are available for loading. After the
load is complete the CDU can be exited to the
main Index page and the USB device can be
disconnected and used for the next database
cycle. The two USB ports are to be used only
for database loading and will not support ex-
ternal USB devices.
The available subscriptions are listed in Figure
16-93. Collins will provide the FMS and En-
hanced Map (E-Map) databases through in-
ternet download or a shipment of CD’s.
Jeppesen will provide the Electronic Chart (E-
Chart) database through a shipment of CD’s
only (no internet download). Finally, Hawker
Beechcraft will provide the electronic check-
list through an internet download. Although
not specifically a part of the IFIS system, the
electronic checklist will be uploaded through
the same dataloader units discussed earlier.
With each revision of the aircraft AFM that af-
fects the checklist, it is the operator’s respon-
sibility to update the electronic checklist
manually or download a new version from
Hawker Beechcraft.
