No subscription for FIS-B services is required with the GDL 88. The FIS-B Function is a graphic weather display capable of displaying graphical weather information on UAT equipped installations. Graphical data is overlaid on the map indicating the rainfall detected by ground based radar for a specific area. Colors are used to identify the different NEXRAD echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z). “Reflectivity” (designated by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ values increase as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed using colors corresponding to the dBZ values. Review the Limitations section in the front of this guide for the limitations that apply to the FIS-B data. An example of how rainfall data is color coded follows: Figure 12-92 FIS-B Weather Precipitation LegendA cyan checkerboard pattern indicates that no data is available for that area, and rainfall in that area is unknown.

An extensive network of NEXRAD stations provides almost complete radar coverage of the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. The unobstructed range of each NEXRAD is 124 nautical miles. 12.6.2.1 NEXRAD AbnormalitiesThere are possible abnormalities regarding displayed NEXRAD images. Some, but not all, causes of abnormal displayed information include: • Ground Clutter• Strobes and spurious radar data• Sun strobes, when the radar antenna points directly at the sun• Military aircraft deploy metallic dust which can cause alterations in radar scans• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows• Scheduled maintenance may put a radar off-line12.6.2.2 NEXRAD LimitationsCertain limitations exist regarding the NEXRAD radar displays. Some, but not all, are listed for the user’s awareness: • The Regional NEXRAD “pixels” are 1.5 minutes (1.5 nautical miles = 2.78 km) wide by 1 minute (1 nautical miles = 1.852 km) tall. The CONUS NEXRAD “pixels” are 7.5 minutes (7.5 nautical miles = 13.89 km) wide by 5 minutes (5 nautical miles = 9.26 km) wide. Above 60 degrees of latitude the Regional NEXRAD "pixels" are 3 minutes/nautical miles. CONUS NEXRAD is not available above 60 degrees of latitude. The intensity level reflected by the pixel will be the highest level sampled within the area covered by each pixel. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 75 7/9/2015 2:08:18 PM

JForewordGetting StartedAudio & Xpdr CtrlCom/NavFPLDirect-ToProcChartsWpt InfoMapTrafficTerrainWeatherNearestServices/ MusicUtilitiesSystemMessagesSymbolsAppendixIndex12.6.2.3 NEXRAD IntensityColors are used to identify the different NEXRAD echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z). “Reflectivity” is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. 12.6.2.4 NEXRADWhen enabled, NEXRAD weather information is shown. Composite data from all of the NEXRAD radar sites in the United States is shown. This data is composed of the maximum reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather level severity. Refer to the legend for a description of the color code. The NEXRAD option has selections of Regional, CONUS, or Combined NEXRAD. CONUS NEXRAD includes a composite of available NEXRAD radar imagery across the 48 states. Regional NEXRAD is a composite of available NEXRAD radar imagery in a local area, showing a more detailed image than CONUS NEXRAD. FIS-B weather data reception requires line-of-site communication between the receiver and the ADS-B ground station. Incomplete Regional and/or CONUS NEXRAD imagery displayed on the MAP and FIS-B Weather Pages of the affected products is an indicator of poor FIS-B reception. Affected Areas Any area in the continental United States (CONUS) or Alaska where the distance from ADS-B ground stations, or the combined effect of distance and low altitude, is sufficiently great may cause poor reception. A good source of information for ground station coverage can be found at: http://www.faa.gov/nextgen/flashmap/ Reception will improve in some affected areas as the FAA completes the NextGen ADS-B ground station infrastructure. However, due to line-of-sight broadcast characteristics, operators with properly installed and functioning equipment may still receive incomplete FIS-B data when signal reception is limited by the distance from ground stations combined with a low altitude. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 76 7/9/2015 2:08:18 PM

The Nearest Airspace Page shows the airspace as “Airspace Ahead.” • If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will take you inside, the message “AIRSPACE ALERT - Within 2nm of airspace” appears. The Nearest Airspace Page shows the air-space as “Airspace Within 2 NM.” • If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will take you inside in less than 10 minutes, the message “AIR-SPACE ALERT - Airspace within 2nm and entry in less than 10 minutes” appears. The Nearest Airspace Page shows the airspace as “Ahead < 2 NM.” • If you have entered an airspace, the message “AIRSPACE ALERT - Inside Airspace” appears. The Nearest Airspace Page shows “Inside of airspace.” Note that the airspace alerts are based on three-dimensional data (latitude, longitude and altitude) to avoid nuisance alerts. The alert boundaries for controlled airspace are also sectorized to provide complete information on any nearby airspace. Once one of the described conditions exists, the message annunciator flashes, alerting you of an airspace message (if airspace alert messages are enabled). See System-Alerts to set the Arrival Alert Proximity, Airspace Type, and Altitude Buffer values.

RAIM performs checks to ensure that the GTN unit has adequate satellite geometry during your flight. RAIM availability is near 100% in Oceanic, En Route and Terminal phases of flight. Because the FAA’s TSO requirements for non-precision approaches specify significantly better satellite coverage than other flight phases, RAIM may not be available when flying some approaches. The GTN unit automatically monitors RAIM during approach operations and warns you if RAIM is not available. In such cases, use a non-GPS based approach. RAIM prediction helps you plan for a pending flight to confirm GPS operation during an approach. RAIM prediction only predicts the availability of Fault Detection (FD) integrity in the absence of SBAS corrections. It cannot predict the availability of LPV or L/VNAV approaches. The FAA provides a NOTAM service for LPV approach availability. 1. While viewing the Utilities page, touch the RAIM Prediction key.

This item also displays the sunrise/sunset times for your destination waypoint (for the selected departure date). All times are based on the time set in System-Setup. For trip planning inputs: departure time and date are manually entered, while ground speed can be provided by sensor data, if selected. The trip statistics are calculated based on the selected starting and ending waypoints and the trip planning inputs. In Flight Plan mode with a stored flight plan selected, and the entire flight plan (CUM) selected, the waypoints are the starting and ending waypoints of the selected flight plan. In Flight Plan mode with a stored flight plan selected, and a specific leg selected, the waypoints are the endpoints of the selected leg. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 12 7/9/2015 2:08:33 PM

It is dashed unless only a single leg is selected.• Distance (DIS) - The distance is shown in tenths of units up to 99.9, and in whole units up to 9999. • Estimated time en route (ETE) - ETE is shown as hours:minutes until less than an hour, then it is shown as minutes:seconds. • Estimated time of arrival (ETA) - ETA is shown as hours:minutes and is the local time at the destination. - If in Point-To-Point mode then the ETA is the ETE added to the departure time. - If a flight plan other than the active flight plan is selected it shows the ETA by adding to the departure time all of the ETEs of the legs up to and including the selected leg. If the entire flight plan is selected, then the ETA is calculated as if the last leg of the flight plan was selected. - If the active flight plan is selected the ETA reflects the current position of the aircraft and the current leg being flown. The ETA is calculated by adding to the current time the ETEs of the current leg up to and including the selected leg. If the entire flight plan is selected, then the ETA is calculated as if the last leg of the flight plan was selected. • En Route safe altitude (ESA) - The ESA is shown as nnnnnFT. • Destination sunrise and sunset times - These times are shown as hours:minutes and are the local time at the destination.

Standby databases are listed for databases not currently used, but available on the data card. Database conflicts will be shown in the Conflicts section. NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government and private agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. The following databases are stored on Supplemental Data Cards provided by Garmin: • Terrain – The terrain database contains terrain mapping data. It is updated periodically and has no expiration date. Approximately one minute is required to verify the rotorcraft terrain database on start up. • Obstacles – The obstacles database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a potential hazard to aircraft. Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle database. The rotorcraft database includes all reported obstacles regardless of height. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. Obstacles will still be shown after the database has expired. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 4 7/9/2015 2:08:39 PM

Obstacle databases created for GTN software version 5.10 or later include all power lines or only HOT lines depending on the type of obstacle database installed. Hazardous Obstacle Transmission (HOT) Lines are those power lines that are co-located with other FAA-identified obstacles. The installed obstacle database type can be verified on the System Status page. Power line data is available for the contiguous United States as well as small parts of Canada and Mexico. • SafeTaxi – The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. SafeTaxi will still be shown after it has expired. • FliteCharts – The FliteCharts database contains procedure charts for the United States only. This database is updated on a 28-day cycle. If not updated within 180 days of the expiration date, FliteCharts no longer functions. • Basemap - The Basemap database contains land and water data, such as roads, boundaries, rivers, and lakes. • Aviation – The Navigation database is updated on a 28 day cycle. Navigation database updates are provided by Garmin and may be downloaded from the Garmin web site “http://fly.garmin.com” or from Jeppesen at "http://www.jeppdirect.com/Garmin" onto a Garmin provided Supplemental Datacard. Contact Garmin at http://fly.garmin.com for navigation database updates and update kits. • Charts – The optional ChartView database is updated on a 14 day cycle. The ChartView database is provided directly from Jeppesen. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.com) for ChartView subscription and update information. NOTE: Do not use SafeTaxi or Chartview functions as the basis for ground maneuvering. SafeTaxi and Chartview functions do not comply with the requirements of AC 20-159 and are not qualified to be used as an airport moving map display (AMMD).

Current databases show all databases that are currently being used. Standby databases are loaded onto the card, but are not being used. Database conflicts are shown and can be resolved in the Conflicts tab. 16.1.3.2 Database Sync OperationDatabase SYNC allows the GTN to synchronize databases from a single unit. The pilot only needs to update a single database card and the new databases are automatically SYNC'd through the units connected in the cockpit and configured for Database Syncing. Database SYNC is supported by these database types: • Navigation • Obstacle • SafeTaxi • Airport Directory • Chartview (when support is added by Jeppesen) • FliteCharts • BasemapWhen Database SYNC is enabled in the LRUs and a database card is inserted that is created for Database SYNC, the GTN will coordinate with the other LRUs in the cockpit to determine which unit has the newest databases. Once the determination has occurred, the connected LRUs will begin to transfer the databases. This process may take several minutes. The status of the database transfers to a unit can be viewed on the System Status page under the “Standby” tab. The GTN will display the source of the received databases (in this example: “Database SYNC - GTN #2”). If a database transfer is pending, completed, or not authorized, the status will also be indicated. When the transfer is complete, if there are new and current databases to be used, and if the aircraft is stopped and has yet to takeoff, the pilot will be prompted with the option to restart the unit that has the new databases transferred to it. During the restart process, the unit will prompt you to update (transfer from the card to the unit's memory) to the newer databases so they can be used. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 7 7/9/2015 2:08:40 PM

NOTE: When a database card is inserted into a GTN that does not support certain types of databases (charts in a GTN 6XX or an airport directory in any GTN), the GTN is still capable of SYNCing the database to other LRUs that do support that database. NOTE: Restarting the GTN must only be performed when the aircraft is on the ground as navigation and communication from the restarted unit will be lost for a period of time. 1. With the GTN turned off, insert the database card. 2. Turn the GTN on. The Database SYNC will occur automatically in the background. During the Database SYNC process, normal operation of the GTN is not affected. 3. On the System Status page, touch the Standby tab to view the transfer process.

Touch OK at the prompt to confirm the enabling of Database SYNC. Figure 16-12 Prompt to Continue Database Transfer16.1.3.4 Standby DatabasesThe GTN supports a standby copy of each database, allowing the pilot to pre-load the next cycle without losing the active cycle. The GTN will automatically treat any received database (via SD card or Database SYNC) as the standby database until it is activated by the pilot. The standby databases are listed on the System Status page. Figure 16-13 Database Standby DisplayThe GTN will use Database SYNC in the background to SYNC the standby database with other LRUs in the cockpit. As a result, when the standby database becomes effective, the pilot will be prompted on all LRUs to update to the new database. If a the standby database is out of date or not yet effective, the pilot will not be prompted to update to that database until it becomes effective. This prevents the pilot from accidentally overwriting the effective, active database. If the pilot does actually want to overwrite the active database with a not yet effective or out of date database, they can do so by pressing and holding the small right knob while applying power to the GTN. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 11 7/9/2015 2:08:40 PM

Grey signal strength bars The receiver has found the satellite(s) and is collecting data. Yellow signal strength barsThe receiver has collected the necessary data but the satellite is not being used in the position solution as it has been excluded. Cross-hatch cyan signal strength barsThe receiver has found the satellite(s) but it has been excluded by the FDE program as a faulty satellite. Solid cyan signal strength barsThe receiver has collected the necessary data, but is not using the satellite in the position solution. Solid green signal strength barsThe receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite is being used in the position solution. DThe “D” character inside the bars indicates differential corrections (e.g. WAAS) are being used for that satellite.

In this mode, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. 3D Nav The GPS receiver is in 3D navigation mode and computes altitude using satellite data. 3D Diff Nav The GPS receiver is in 3D navigation mode and differential corrections are being used. LOIThe “LOI” (Loss Of Integrity) annunciator (bottom left corner of the screen) indicates that satellite coverage is insufficient to pass built-in integrity monitoring tests. Table 16-3 GPS Signal MessagesThe GPS Status Page also indicates the accuracy of the position fix, using Horizontal Figure of Merit (HFOM), Vertical Figure of Merit (VFOM), and Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU). HFOM and VFOM represent the 95% confidence levels in horizontal and vertical accuracy. The lowest numbers are the best accuracy and the highest numbers are worse. EPU is the horizontal position error estimated by the Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) algorithm, in feet or meters. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 16 7/9/2015 2:08:41 PM

Regardless of the EPU value displayed, the LOI annunciation is the controlling indication for determining the integrity of the GPS navigation solution. NOTE: The FDE Prediction program is used to predict FDE availability. This program must be used prior to all oceanic or remote area flights for all operators using the GTN as a primary means of navigation under FAR parts 91, 121, 125, and 135. The FDE program is part of the GTN trainer, available for download from the GTN product information page on Garmin’s web site, www.garmin.com. If the GTN has not been operated for a period of six months or more, acquiring satellite data to establish almanac and satellite orbit information can take 5 to 10 minutes. The Time and other data may not be displayed until the unit has acquired enough satellites for a fix. 16.2.2 Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS)SBAS is a system that supports wide area, or regional, augmentation through the use of additional satellite broadcast messages. WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS are known SBAS providers. At the time of printing, SBAS providers support the following areas: • WAAS provides SBAS service for Alaska, Canada, the 48 contiguous states, and most of Central America. • EGNOS provides SBAS service for most of Europe and parts of North Africa. • MSAS provides SBAS service for Japan only. 1.

The selected CDI Scale will be reflected in the annunciation bar at the bottom of the display. CDI Scale Selection allows you to define the scale for the course deviation indicator (both on the GTN unit's on-screen CDI and the external CDI). The scale values represent full scale deflection for the CDI to either side. The default setting is “Auto”. At this setting, the CDI scale is set to 2.0 NM during the “en route” phase of flight. Within 31 NM (terminal area) of your destination airport, the CDI scale linearly ramps down to 1.0 NM over a distance of 1 NM. Likewise, when leaving your departure airport the CDI scale is set to 1.0 NM and gradually ramps up to 2 NM beyond 30 NM (from the departure airport). During GPS approach operations the CDI scale gradually transitions down to an angular CDI scale. At 2.0 NM before the final approach fix (FAF), CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 NM to the angular full scale deflection (typically the angular full-scale deflection is 2.0°, but will be as defined for the approach). If a lower CDI scale setting is selected (i.e., 1.0 or 0.3 NM), the higher scale settings are not selected during ANY phase of flight. For example, if 1.0 NM is selected, the GTN unit uses this for en route and terminal phases and ramps down further during an approach. Note that the Horizontal Alarm (HAL) protection 190-01007-03-Final.indb 30 7/9/2015 2:08:44 PM

Manual adjustments may be made from +100% to -10%. The negative adjustment is limited to prevent the backlight from being accidently decreasing the backlight to the point where the display of information could not be seen. The backlight offset function is not available when a dimmer input is active. The GTN is capable of accepting lighting inputs from the built-in photocell, aircraft dimmer bus, or both.

TSO-C146 normally requires that all waypoints be referenced to the WGS84 datum, but allows for navigation to waypoints that are not referenced to the WGS84 datum so long as the pilot is notified. Certain waypoints in the navigation database are not referenced to the WGS84 datum, or their reference datum is unknown. If this is the case, this message is displayed. Garmin cannot determine exactly how close the non-WGS84 referenced waypoint will be to the WGS84 datum that the GTN uses. Typically, the distance is within two nautical miles.

Navigation database updates are provided by Garmin and may be downloaded from the Garmin web site “fly.garmin.com” onto a Garmin provided Supplemental Data card. Contact Garmin at fly.garmin.com for navigation database updates and update kits. The Navigation database is stored internally and the data card is only used to transfer the database into the unit. The optional ChartView database is updated on a 14 day cycle. The ChartView database is provided directly from Jeppesen. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.com) for ChartView subscription and update information. An enablement card that is purchased from Garmin is separate from the Jeppesen database and is required to enable ChartView. NOTE: Garmin requests that the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure, incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes, or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go to “FlyGarmin.com” and at the bottom of the page select “Aviation Data Error Report.” Updating the Jeppesen navigation database 1. With the GTN 7XX System OFF, insert the SD card containing the navigation database update into the card slot of the GTN 7XX to be updated (label of SD card should face to the right). 2. Turn the GTN 7XX System ON. 3. Verify the correct update cycle is loaded during power-up. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 10 7/9/2015 2:08:54 PM

Common Problems/Troubleshooting Tips for Databases• SD Cards- The supplied SD cards, and most commercially available SD cards, have a small sliding tab located on the top left of the card (when viewing the card label-side up). - When the sliding tab is in the Down position (as in farther away from the gold contacts on the back of the card), you will not be able to write data to the card, as it will be write protected. - The tab must be in the Up position to work correctly. • Card Programmer- If a card programmer is having trouble finding or writing data to the SD cards, you may have to upgrade to a High Capacity SD card programmer. - SD cards with a capacity of 4GB are considered high capacity. - Most non-high capacity card programmers will not work with a high capacity SD card. High capacity card programmers can be easily purchased at a consumer electronics store. - Ensure that your card programmer is not plugged into a USB hub, your computer screen, or your keyboard. - Make sure it is plugged directly into your computer (the back of the computer, if using a desktop computer). • If you accidentally place a file onto the wrong card, call Garmin’s Aviation Product Support team to look at the files and delete the proper files. - Do not format the cards190-01007-03-Final.indb 12 7/9/2015 2:08:55 PM

Download the data to the data cards from the appropriate web site. 2. Insert Navigation Database SD card in the slot of the GTN 7XX. 3. Apply power to the GTN 7XX System. View the power-up splash screen. Check that the databases are initialized and displayed on the splash screen. Some databases can take up to 15 minutes to update. 4. The database update page will prompt to either Update or Continue. Touch the Update key to update the database(s). Touch the Continue key to continue to normal operation without updating a database. This process will repeat for each database that is available on the card for updating. 5. After the database(s) have completed the update process, touch OK to continue the normal progression of start-up displays. 6. From the Home page, touch the System key. Then, touch the System Status key. 7. Check that all databases are current and there are no errors. If a database is highlighted in yellow, it is either expired or the GTN 7XX can not determine the date. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 13 7/9/2015 2:08:55 PM

Due to differences in finger size, glove size, and touchscreens between the 6XX or 7XX unit, the qualification granted by this procedure is specific to the pilot/glove and 6XX or 7XX combination. GTN 7XX and 6XX units must be evaluated separately. The GTN touchscreen uses capacitive touch technology to sense the proximity of skin to the display. A glove increases the distance between skin and the display glass and may reduce the ability of the GTN to detect touches. Therefore, when selecting a glove for use with the GTN, thinner gloves tend to work better than thicker gloves. Leather gloves and gloves designed to work specifically with capacitive touchscreen devices are often found to be acceptable. Additionally, altering your touch technique to use the pad of your finger to touch the unit rather than the tip will increase the touchscreen sensitivity while using gloves.This qualification must be completed on the ground. Performing this procedure in flight is not authorized. Table 19-1 contains tasks that are required to qualify a glove. Table 19-2 contains tasks that are not required to qualify a glove, but may limit the manner in which some functions are accessed while a glove is worn. 1. Sit in the pilot’s seat. 2. Start the GTN in Demo mode by pressing and holding the Direct To key during power up. 3. Perform the tasks listed in Table 19-1 and Table 19-2 with an non-gloved hand. You do not need to record any results for this step. 4. Perform the tasks listed in Table 19-1 and Table 19-2 with a gloved hand. For each task, determine whether the operation is the same or worse as it was without the glove. Record the results in Table 19-1 and Table 19-2. Items that may cause the operation to be worse include, but are not limited to: a. Multiple attempts to select a key b. Unintentional selection of adjacent keys c. Excessive force on the touchscreen to select a key5. If all applicable tasks in Table 19-1 respond in the same way with and without a glove then the glove used to complete these tasks may be used by the pilot 190-01007-03-Final.indb 17 7/9/2015 2:08:56 PM
