6. GPS GNS-530 - SOLO-A USER'S MANUAL
6. GPS GNS-530
The SOLO-A includes the GPS GNS-530 simulator. This GPS is not the
original from Garmin, both the hardware part and software part are de-
signed to simulate the real.
The software part is made by FLIGHT1 AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, on
http://www.flight1tech.com/ you can find all the information of the deve-
loper.
To operate this replica of GNS-530 we added on the memory stick the
manual from a reliable source “GNS530_pilotsGuide”.
This GNS-530 Simulator is modeled after the GNS 530W and features
• A WAAS-certified GPS.
• A multi-channel capacity VHF comm radio.
• A multi-channel ILS/VOR with localizer and glideslope receivers.
• Built-in WAAS navigation capabilities to fly LPV "glideslope" ap-
proaches without reference to ground-based navaids of any kind
(providing vertical and lateral approach guidance into thousands of
U.S. airports previously inaccessible in IFR conditions).
• Updateable, built-in terrain and navigation databases that contain
location reference for all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, Flight
Service Stations, published approaches, SIDs/STARs, Special Use
Airspace and geopolitical boundaries.
• A detailed basemap that shows airports, cities, highways, railroads,
rivers, lakes, coastlines and more.
• Terrain proximity warnings and Terrain Awareness and Warning
System (TAWS) alerting.
• Integration with standard autopilots that accept roll-steering com-
mands to automatically fly your aircraft through holding patterns, pro-
cedure turns and other position-critical IFR flight procedures.
In the following pages, there is a basic explanation of the main buttons
and indicators.
Keep in Mind that the VOLUME commands are not working in this si-
mulator.
6.1. KEY AND KNOB FUNTIONS
The GNS 530 is designed to make operation as simple as possible. The
key knob descriptions (Figure 1-1) provide a general overview of the
primary function(s) for each key knob.
Experiment with the unit and refer to the reference sections for more
information. Data is entered using the large and small knobs. Experiment
with them to become efficient at entering data. This greatly reduces the
amount of time spent operating the GNS 530 in flight.
