GNS 430 Pilot’s Guide and Reference 1-5
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.3 TAKEOFF TOUR
Overview
The Garmin GNS 430 provides the pilot accurate
navigational data and communication capability, along
with non-precision and precision approach certification
in the IFR environment. The takeoff tour is designed to
familiarize the pilot with the operation of the GNS 430
by :
• Powering up the unit
• Changing frequencies
• Entering data
• Performing a simple direct-to
• Selecting IFR procedures
• Using some limited flight plans
In addition, this section briefly covers the Default NAV
Page, the Map Page, and the NAV/COM Page, which are
available as part of the NAV Page Group. These pages are
used for most of the in-flight navigation.
The takeoff tour assumes that the unit and antennas
have been properly installed and that the GNS 430’s
default settings have not been changed. If any of the
factory default settings (position format, units of measure,
selectable fields, etc.) have been changed, the pictures
shown here may not exactly match what is shown on
the GNS 430. Prior to using the GNS 430 for the first
time, Garmin recommends that the aircraft be moved to a
location that is well away from buildings and other aircraft
so the unit can collect satellite data without interruption.
This takeoff tour is intended to provide a brief
introduction of the GNS 430’s major features. Sections
2 through 13 of this manual describe these features, and
others, in additional detail. Refer to these sections, as
needed, to learn or review the details regarding a particular
feature.
After becoming familiar with the basics, some suggested
reading within this Pilot’s Guide includes:
• Flight plan features - Section 5
• Waypoint information pages (database
information) - Section 7
• IFR procedures - Section 6
• Unit settings (configuring the unit to the pilot’s
preferences) - Section 10
If more information is needed, Garmin’s Customer
Service staff is available during normal business hours
(U.S. Central time zone) at the phone and fax numbers
listed on page ii. Garmin can also be reached by mail
(page ii) or at our web site address, www.garmin.com.
Powering up the GNS 430
The GNS 430’s power and COM volume are controlled
using the COM Power/Volume knob at the top left corner
of the unit. Turning it clockwise turns unit power on and
increases the COM radio volume. After turning the unit
on, a welcome page (Figure 1-3) is displayed while the
unit performs a self test, followed sequentially by the Land
Data Page, then (if configured for TERRAIN) the Terrain
Data Page, the Obstacle Data Page, and the Airport Terrain
Data Page.
