Derived from the GNS-X, the industry’s most popular navigation

management system, the GNS-XLS Enhanced Flight Management System

represents a natural evolutionary step in a low cost FMS. With a built-in GPS

receiver, the GNS-XLS Enhanced provides en route, terminal and non-precision

approach navigation capability. It also offers text and graphical weather

through our exclusive AFIS® Airborne Flight Information Service.

The GNS-XLS has the capacity to blend position data from a full

complement of other navigation sensors, ensuring navigation availability,

accuracy and reliability.

Major functions include advanced search patterns for search and rescue

operations, flight planning, flight plan storage, fuel management and COMM,

NAV, ADF and transponder radio tuning, with 8.33 MHz support.

WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE…

Providing easy-to-use great circle navigation, the GNS-XLS Enhanced

combines sensor input with internal database information to calculate

“Direct-To” paths. It can follow a predetermined flight plan or track a route

programmed in flight, while its vertical navigation feature even allows you

to fly VNAV flight paths.

Information is displayed to the flight crew on a full color, 4–inch flat-panel

liquid crystal display (LCD). The GNS-XLS Enhanced features internal analog

and digital interfaces, and either a standard or typewriter-style keyboard with

line select keys for fast, efficient data entry.

…WITH BUILT-IN GPS

With its internal eight-channel GPS receiver, the GNS-XLS can continuously

acquire and track signals from as many as eight Global Positioning Systems

satellites. For greater reliability, the GNS-XLS Enhanced features fault detection

and exclusion (FDE) for oceanic and remote area operations and receiver

autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM).

GNS-XLS Enhanced:

New Levels Of Capability

A compact, low cost FMS combining GPS approach

technology with graphical weather and EGPWS display

capability. — The new GNS-XLS Enhanced offers performance,

flexibility and value in a single integrated unit.

PLANNING AHEAD

The GNS-XLS Enhanced automates the functions of area navigation (RNAV).

It also provides B-RNAV and RNP-10 (Required Navigation Performance)

capability for world-wide flight planning.

With an easy-to-use reference and coupled VNAV capability, vertical

portions of a flight plan can be built in advance, with altitude constraints,

offsets and flight path angles programmed to vertical waypoints. By

preprogramming a cruise altitude, the system automatically projects a

top-of-climb and top-of-descent, reducing pilot workload; a Vertical

Direct-To feature makes vertical profile changes fast and easy.

CONVENIENCE AND SAVINGS

Amazingly compact, the GNS-XLS Enhanced incorporates its own database

card reader. Allowing you to perform database updates more easily and

quickly, eliminating the need for a separate data transfer unit.

The system’s four-channel auto fuel flow feature provides the crew with

access to such information as fuel remaining, fuel consumed, gross weight

and individual engine fuel consumption, to help determine your optimum

range and fuel requirements. Combine Area Navigation (RNAV) and direct

routing with Vertical Navigation (VNAV) operation and the GNS-XLS Enhanced

will literally pay for itself over time.
