FreeFlight 2101 I/O Approach Plus GPS Navigation System
1.2.1 Receiver/Display Unit
The Receiver/Display Unit (RDU) is the main component of the FreeFlight 2101 I/O Approach Plus navigation
system. The RDU consists of the GPS Receiver, the User Interface, and the System Interface.
1.2.1.1 GPS Receiver
The GPS Receiver interprets the satellite transmissions to determine the current position. This information is
communicated to the pilot via the User Interface and to the connected equipment via the System Interface.
1.2.1.2 User Interface
The User Interface is accomplished by an LED Display, five annunciator lights, nine push-button keys, two
concentric selector knobs, a power switch, and a NavData card slot.
A. LED Display
The Light Emitting Diode (LED) Display is a two-line, high intensity display with 20 characters per line.
System information is shown on the display.
B. Annunciator Lights
The internal annunciator lights alert the pilot of warning and advisory messages. The annunciator
lights are the Message (MSG), Hold (HLD), Parallel Track (PTK), Approach (APR), and Waypoint Alert
(WPT).
