iiGarmin GTN 725/750 Pilot’s Guide190-01007-03 Rev. JForewordGetting StartedAudio & Xpdr CtrlCom/NavFPLDirect-ToProcChartsWpt InfoMapTrafficTerrainWeatherNearestServices/MusicUtilitiesSystemMessagesSymbolsAppendixIndex WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The GTN 725/750 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data. WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: The Garmin GTN 725/750 has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the GTN 725/750. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit. WARNING: The altitude calculated by GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the output from the GDC 74A/B Air Data Computer, or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in the aircraft. WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the GTN 725/750 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk. WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 2 7/9/2015 2:06:44 PM

JGarmin GTN 725/750 Pilot’s GuideForewordGetting StartedAudio & Xpdr CtrlCom/NavFPLDirect-ToProcChartsWpt InfoMapTrafficTerrainWeatherNearestServices/MusicUtilitiesSystemMessagesSymbolsAppendixIndex WARNING: Traffic information shown on the GTN 725/750 is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age. WARNING: For safety reasons, GTN 725/750 operational procedures must be learned on the ground. WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the GTN 725/750 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the GTN 725/750 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. CAUTION: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin GTN 725/750 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GTN 725/750 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 3 7/9/2015 2:06:44 PM

JForewordGetting StartedAudio & Xpdr CtrlCom/NavFPLDirect-ToProcChartsWpt InfoMapTrafficTerrainWeatherNearestServices/MusicUtilitiesSystemMessagesSymbolsAppendixIndex CAUTION: The Garmin GTN 725/750 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations. CAUTION: The GTN displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings. NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through official sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control. NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the GTN bezel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current GTN software. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment. NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65. NOTE: Canadian installations: In accordance with Canadian Radio Specifications Standard 102 (RSS 102), RF field strength exposure to persons from an antenna connected to this device should be limited to 60 V/m for controlled environment and 28 V/m for uncontrolled environment.

In general, all models will be referred to as the GTN 7XX, except where there are physical or operational differences. The GTN units are 6.25 inches wide and 6 inches high. The display is a 708 by 600 pixel, 6.9 inch diagonal color LCD with touchscreen controls. The units include one removable SD data card for the databases and software upgrades. The GTN 7XX simplifies your workload with an easy-to-use touch panel that provides a visual display of both controls and functions. The required controls are displayed for the selected function. Keys on the display allow you to access and control their functions by a simple touch on the interactive display. The GTN 7XX can integrate a variety of avionics that will not only simplify operation, but also save panel space. The GTN 725 and 750 have their own GPS/SBAS navigator and flight planning functions. The GTN 750 adds VHF Com and VHF Nav radios. Selected optional external equipment allows you to display and control active traffic systems, XM Entertainment Radio, XM Weather, audio panel, and a Mode S transponder directly from the GTN 7XX display, and more. When the optional audio panel and/or transponder are not installed, the area on the upper portion of the display is used for configurable navigation information. 1.1.1 GTN 725The GTN 725 has a GPS/SBAS engine and is TSO C146c certified for primary domestic, oceanic, and remote navigation including en route, terminal, and non-precision approaches, and approaches with vertical guidance, such as LPV and LNAV/VNAV. The GTN 725 can simultaneously give aviators vital approach information and weather and traffic data in relation to their position on a large, color moving map display. Thanks to a high-contrast color display, the information can be easily read from wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight. Its color moving map features a built-in database that shows cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, coastlines, and a complete Jeppesen database. The Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSSs, Approaches, DPs/STARs, and SUA information. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 1 7/9/2015 2:06:47 PM

CAUTION: Navigation using dead reckoning is only an estimate and should not be used as the sole means of navigation. Use other means of navigation, if possible. Dead reckoning becomes active after a loss of GPS position while navigating using an active flight plan and the flight phase is either En Route (ENR) or Oceanic (OCN). “DR” will be overlayed on the ownship icon. The To/From flag is removed from the CDI. The Dead Reckoning annunciator (DR) appears on the lower left side of the map display and will replace ENR or OCN when a GPS position is unavailable and the unit is in Dead Reckoning mode. All external outputs dependent on GPS position are flagged. Terrain will be noted as not available and new terrain advisory pop-ups will not occur. Traffic and StormScope information will not be shown on the Map page, but will continue to be available on their own dedicated pages. XM weather will still be available on the Map page. Dead Reckoning mode will continue until GPS position is restored, when GPS navigation is restored Dead Reckoning mode is exited. The DR annunciations will be removed and GPS information will be used to compute navigation related information for the current flight phase. Dead Reckoning is only allowed in En Route and Oceanic phases of flight. If the unit is in a Terminal or Approach phase of flight when Dead Reckoning takes place, “No GPS Position” will be displayed on the map pages and all navigation data will be dashed. If you are operating in Dead Reckoning mode and a transition to Terminal or Approach phases of flight would occur from the projected Dead Reckoning position, Dead Reckoning mode will be discontinued. “No GPS Position” will be displayed on the map pages and all navigation data will be dashed. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 21 7/9/2015 2:06:52 PM

Reference the GDL 88 Pilot Guide for a full description of GDL 88 functions. When a GTN is interfaced to a GDL88 transceiver for ADS-B Out functions the GTN can control some aspects of the ADS-B Out message and the GTN may provide position information to the GDL88. The display and control of the information sent depends on the equipment installed and how it is configured. Some installations allow control by the pilot of the information sent, while others do not. The Anonymous Mode, when armed, will replace the identifying information in the ADS-B Out message with a temporary randomized number for privacy while the position information will still be provided.

To activate Voice Recognition, push and hold the Push-to-Command (PTC) button while speaking a command. When the Push-to-Command button is released, the GTN 7XX and/or the audio panel will respond. If a command is understood by the GMA, a positive acknowledgement chime will be played, and the relevant information will be displayed to reflect the change (if applicable). The pilot should verify that the correct response has occurred. If a command is not understood by the GMA or the GTN is unable to complete the requested action, a negative acknowledgement tone will be played. The pilot should repeat the command by using the Push-to-Command button, or by manually using the GTN 7XX touch screen. In the event of any abnormal Voice Recognition operation, the front panel controls and touch screen may be used to override Voice Recognition and manually control the GTN 7XX. NOTE 1: If Telligence Voice Command malfunctions and needs to be disabled, remove power to the GMA 35 audio panel. This will force the audio panel into the fail-safe mode.

See Section 9.3.3 for details. 4.5 Import Flight Plans with ConnextWhen the GTN is interfaced with a compatible Flight Stream device, flight plans can be wirelessly imported into the GTN from supported Apps (i.e. Garmin Pilot). The imported flight plans can then be activated or stored to the flight plan catalog once they are previewed by the pilot. NOTE: Flight plans over 99 waypoints long are truncated at 99 waypoints and the last waypoint in the imported/uploaded flight plan may not be the destination airport. NOTE: Flight plan information and user waypoints included as part of a flight plan will not necessarily retain their names when the flight plan is transferred from the portable device to the GTN via a Flight Stream device. Whenever a User Waypoint is imported, it is compared to the existing User Waypoint catalog. If it matches locations with an existing User Waypoint, the waypoint will utilize the name saved in the GTN for that waypoint. If there is not a location match, the waypoint is imported but without the name label that the import software may have used. Therefore all new User Waypoints will come in as USR### where the number is the lowest open User Waypoint slot in the catalog. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 39 7/9/2015 2:07:11 PM

The Procedures Page is displayed by touching the PROC key on the Home page. The Procedures Page provides access to approaches, departures and arrivals. Selections are also shown to: Activate Approach, Vectors to Final, and Activate Missed Approach. NOTE: The Chart feature provides a digital representation of a paper chart and provides no vertical or lateral course guidance. Flight Plan and Procedures are separate from Charts, and do provide vertical and lateral course guidance for the loaded route or procedure shown on the Flight Plan page. The term “Chart Unavailable” means that the chart cannot be viewed on the Charts due to either a chart not being published, or an error in the Chart database, but does not preclude its availability or inclusion of the procedure in the Flight Plan or Procedures portion of the system. The absence of a chart for a particular Departure, Arrival, or Approach does not preclude its availability or inclusion in the Flight Plan or Procedures portion of the system. The absence of a particular Departure, Arrival, or Approach under the Flight Plan or Procedures portion of the system does not preclude the ability to view the Chart for that procedure under the Chart feature. NOTE: Baro-corrected altitude is not required by the GTN unit to meet the requirements of TSO-C146c; however, to take full advantage of the GTN unit's capabilities, an optional baro-corrected altitude source is recommended for automatic sequencing of altitude leg types. If no baro-corrected altitude data is provided to the GTN unit, altitude leg types must be manually sequenced. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 1 7/9/2015 2:07:15 PM

JForewordGetting StartedAudio & Xpdr CtrlCom/NavFPLDirect-ToProcChartsWpt InfoMapTrafficTerrainWeatherNearestServices/ MusicUtilitiesSystemMessagesSymbolsAppendixIndex6.1 Basic Approach OperationsThe GTN 7XX provides precision vertical guidance as well as lateral and advi-sory vertical guidance using its built in GPS receiver for GPS or RNAV approaches. The moving map pages can also be used as an aid to situational awareness for ILS, VOR, and NDB approaches (and non-precision localizer-based approaches), but the appropriate radio navigational aid MUST be used for primary approach course guidance for non-GPS approaches. Approaches designed specifically for GPS are often very simple and don’t require overflying a VOR or NDB. Currently, many non-precision approaches have “GPS overlays” to let you fly an existing procedure (VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, etc.) more accurately using GPS. Many overlay approaches are more complex (in comparison to GPS-only approaches). The GTN 7XX displays and guides you through each leg of the approach — automatically sequencing through each of these legs, up to the missed approach point (MAP). Approaches may be flown “as published” with the full transition — using any published feeder route or initial approach fix (IAF) — or may be flown with a vectors-to-final transition. Phase of flight annunciations are provided on the bottom of the display indi-cating the current mode of flight. Procedures are arranged around the existing flight plan in the following order: Departure, En Route, Arrival, and Approach. For example, Departure waypoints are inserted before the En Route waypoints in the flight plan and Arrival waypoints are inserted between the En Route waypoints and the approach waypoints. Always verify that the transition waypoints between each phase are correct. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 2 7/9/2015 2:07:15 PM

For this reason, the GTN 7XX unit requires no special operations from the pilot — other than flying the procedure turn itself — beyond what is required for any other type of approach. Roll steering is provided to aircraft with compatible autopilots. NOTE: The steering provided for the procedure turn does not guarantee that the aircraft will stay within charted procedure turn boundaries. As such the crew will need to ensure that the approach is flown within the confines of the charted procedure. 6.6 Flying the Missed ApproachUpon reaching the Missed Approach Point, the GTN 7XX unit continues to give guidance along an extension of the final course segment (FAF to MAP) until you manually initiate the missed approach procedure (as mentioned previously in reference to the “SUSP” advisory). NOTE: If the unit is not configured for a CDI key, then the “activate GPS missed approach” will only resume automatic waypoint sequencing. The user must switch to GPS navigation, if desired, by using their external source selection method (this is typical an EFIS system). 1. When the MAP is reached, a pop-up will appear. Figure 6-18 Pop-Up Upon Reaching the MAP 2. Touch the Remain Suspended key to continue with sequencing suspended or touch Activate GPS Missed Approach for guidance to the Missed Approach Hold Point.

This is used when a pilot needs to execute the missed approach prior to reaching the MAP. 6.7 Flying an Approach with a HoldUpon activating an RNAV GPS approach, you are given the option to skip any non-required holding patterns during the initial transitions of the approach. The Flight Plan Page displays a timer or distance, as appropriate, during the holding pattern. Use this timer or distance to fly the outbound portion of the holding pattern. (The holding pattern is displayed on the Map Page and indicated as the active leg on the Active Flight Plan pages.) NOTE: If you need to lose extra altitude or speed by going around the holding pattern again, touch SUSP to manually suspend waypoint sequencing BEFORE crossing the holding waypoint the second time. If you’ve already passed this waypoint, re-activate the holding pattern. As you cross the MAP, a “SUSP” annunciation will appear, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A “from” indication is displayed on the CDI and Default NAV Page, but course guidance along the final approach course continues. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 15 7/9/2015 2:07:18 PM

See instructions in the “Enabling Autopilot Outputs for the King KAP140/KFC225” section). When the ILS approach is activated and the correct ILS frequency is active in the VLOC window, the GTN 7XX automatically switches to VLOC within 1.2 NM left or right of the final approach course. This switch can take place anywhere from 2.0 to 15.0 NM from the FAF. The illustration shows multiple locations along the approach path and the CDI selection that you can expect: GPS or VLOC. Within the area of the shaded box, the automatic switch from GPS to VLOC should occur. NOTE: If you attempt to intercept the approach course at a distance less than 2.0 NM from the FAF, the GTN 7XX does not automatically switch the CDI to VLOC. In this case, touch the CDI key to manually switch from GPS to VLOC. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 18 7/9/2015 2:07:19 PM

Within 31 NM of the destination, the GTN switches from en route mode to terminal mode and the CDI scale transitions from 2.0 to 1.0 NM, full scale deflection. 2. As you approach the IAF, a waypoint message appears on the bottom of the screen. 3. As the distance (DIST) to the IAF approaches zero, the message is replaced by a turn advisory that counts down 10 seconds prior to the turn. 4. As you approach the FAF, the GTN will begin to automatically rescale in an angular fashion. This will allow the LPV approach to be flown in an identical fashion to a standard ILS. At 2.0 NM from the 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). 5. Sixty seconds prior to reaching the FAF, the unit will check the required Horizontal Alarm Limit (HAL) and Vertical Alarm Limit (VAL) to ensure the GPS position integrity is within limits to complete the LPV precision approach. In the event the HAL or VAL limits are exceeded, the approach will be downgraded to a non-precision approach indicated by “LNAV” on the moving map, a message that the approach is downgraded (“APPROACH DOWNGRADE - GPS approach downgraded. Use LNAV minima.”), and the glideslope indicator will be flagged. You may continue the approach using LNAV non-precision minimums if there are LNAV minimums for this approach. In the rare event the GPS integrity cannot meet the non-precision HAL limits, the unit will send a message to the pilot to abort the approach (“ABORT APPROACH - GPS approach no longer available.”). The unit will revert to terminal limits to support navigation to the missed approach when the message is acknowledged. After the aircraft has passed the FAF, a loss of WAAS integrity will cause the approach to abort instead of downgrade. 6.

As you cross the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP (e.g. “RW31”, the runway threshold). With the needle on the external CDI (or HSI) centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums published on the approach plate. 8. When viewing the Map Page, you’ll note that the final course segment is displayed in magenta (the active leg of the flight plan always appears in magenta). 9. As you approach the MAP, a waypoint message appears on the bottom of the screen. 10. Once the unit crosses the MAP (defined as the runway end waypoint), sequencing will be suspended.

Fly the guidance provided by the unit to the MAHP and hold.6.12.2 Flying the LP ApproachAn LP approach is flown similarly to an LNAV approach, except the precision is greater as it utilizes the SBAS accuracy. It has similar lateral accuracy as an LPV approach. Angular scaling is similar to a localizer approach. Most LP approaches have step down altitudes associated with them. The approach still results in an MDA and missed approach point. If the approach is indicated as LP +V, advisory vertical guidance will be provided. This does not change how the approach should be flown, and the pilot is still responsible for descending to the correct altitude at each step down. The approach still results in an MDA and missed approach point. 1. Within 30 NM of the destination, the GTN switches from en route mode to terminal mode and the CDI scale transitions from 2.0 to 1.0 NM, full scale deflection. 2. As you approach the IAF, a turn direction message appears on the bottom of the screen. 3. As the distance (DIST) to the IAF approaches zero, the message is replaced by a time to turn advisory that counts down 10 seconds prior to the turn. 4. As you approach the FAF, the GTN will begin to automatically rescale in an angular fashion. This will allow the LP approach to be flown in the same fashion as a standard localizer approach. At 2.0 NM from the FAF, CDI scaling is tightened from up to either 2° or 0.3 NM, full scale deflection, whichever is smaller.190-01007-03-Final.indb 21 7/9/2015 2:07:19 PM

The GTN will revert to terminal limits of 1.0 NM to support navigation to the missed approach. If the approach is indicating an LP +V, it is possible that the advisory vertical guidance could be removed without annunciation due to the vertical guidance not being within tolerances. This does not constitute a downgrade, and the approach can still be flown to LP minimums. 6. As you cross the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP. With the needle on the external CDI (or HSI) centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums published on the approach plate. 7. When viewing the Map Page, you’ll note that the final course segment is displayed in magenta (the active leg of the flight plan always appears in magenta). 8. As you approach the MAP, a waypoint message (“Arriving at Waypoint”) appears on the bottom of the screen. 9. At the MAP initiate the missed approach, if necessary. Once the GTN crosses the MAP, sequencing will be suspended. Prepare the aircraft for missed approach operation. Touch the Unsuspend key to sequence to the Missed Approach procedure. NOTE: For missed approaches with heading legs, fly manually until the first active course leg is reached. 10.

JGarmin GTN 725/750 Pilot’s GuideForewordGetting StartedAudio & Xpdr CtrlCom/NavFPLDirect-ToProcChartsWpt InfoMapTrafficTerrainWeatherNearestServices/MusicUtilitiesSystemMessagesSymbolsAppendixIndex6.13 Points to Remember for All Procedures• The GTN 7XX Map page is designed to complement your approach plates and vastly improve situational awareness throughout the approach. However, you must always fly an approach as it appears on the approach plate. • The active leg (or the portion of the approach currently in use) is depicted in magenta on the Map Page. As you fly the approach, the GTN 7XX automatically sequences through each leg of the approach unless “SUSP” appears at the annunciation bar at the bottom of the display. “SUSP” indicates that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended on the current leg and normally appears at holding patterns, upon crossing the missed approach point (MAP), for Climb to Altitude legs, and for Hold to Altitude legs. • For roll steering autopilots: roll steering is terminated when approach mode is selected on the autopilot and is available once the missed approach is initiated. • If Vectors-to-Final is activated while on the “FROM” side of the FAF, automatic waypoint sequencing is suspended and the SUSP annunciation will appear. Automatic waypoint sequencing will resume once the aircraft is on the “TO” side of the FAF and within full-scale deflection. • For all procedures, make sure to check the runway, transition, and all waypoints. CAUTION: Not all autopilots will follow guidance when on a heading leg using NAV, GPSS, or APR mode on the autopilot. Heading legs for procedures can be identified by “HDG XXX°” in white on the Flight Plan page, as well as the procedure chart indicating that the aircraft must fly a particular heading. Certain autopilots will revert to a “Roll Only” or “Wings Level” mode on these leg types and the pilot must engage the heading (HDG) mode of the autopilot and set the heading bug appropriately in order to use the autopilot on these legs. 190-01007-03-Final.indb 23 7/9/2015 2:07:19 PM

JForewordGetting StartedAudio & Xpdr CtrlCom/NavFPLDirect-ToProcChartsWpt InfoMapTrafficTerrainWeatherNearestServices/ MusicUtilitiesSystemMessagesSymbolsAppendixIndex6.14 Points to Remember for Localizer or VOR-based Approaches• The default factory setting allows the CDI output to automatically switch from the GPS receiver to the LOC receiver. This may be changed to manual in some installations. If the “ILS CDI Selection” setting is changed to “Manual”, you must determine when to select “GPS” or “VLOC” guidance during the approach. Remember, “VLOC” is required for the final course segment from the Final Approach Fix (FAF) to the MAP. NOTE: Installations with certain autopilots, such as the KAP 140 and KFC225, do not allow automatic ILS CDI switching. NOTE: GPS phase of flight annunciations (LPV, ENR, etc.) are not applicable to the external CDI (or HSI) when VLOC is active. • If the CDI output has not automatically switched from GPS to ILS upon reaching the FAF, you must manually switch to the VLOC receiver by touching the CDI key. Verify that “VLOC” is displayed. • Automatic switching of CDI output is available for ILS, localizer, SDF and LDA approaches. Automatic CDI switching is not available for backcourse approaches or VOR approaches. • When flying an approach with the autopilot-coupled, you must monitor system functions at all times and verify that the autopilot and external CDI (or HSI) switch to the VLOC receiver with sufficient time to capture and track the approach course. Switching to “VLOC” late in the approach may not provide the autopilot enough time to respond and intercept the approach course prior to the FAF (depending upon the performance characteristics of your autopilot and aircraft). • When an ILS or VOR approach is first selected or executed, the frequency is automatically checked. If the frequency is incorrect, you will receive a message and you must place the correct ILS or VLOC frequency in the active frequency field. • When flying a localizer-based approach (other than backcourse) with automatic CDI switching enabled: 190-01007-03-Final.indb 24 7/9/2015 2:07:20 PM

See the AFMS for more information. NOTE: The Chart feature provides a digital representation of a paper chart and provides no vertical or lateral course guidance. Flight Plan and Procedures are separate from Charts, and do provide vertical and lateral course guidance for the loaded route or procedure shown on the Flight Plan page. The term “Chart Unavailable” means that the chart cannot be viewed on the Charts due to either a chart not being published, or an error in the Chart database, but does not preclude its availability or inclusion of the procedure in the Flight Plan or Procedures portion of the system. The absence of a chart for a particular Departure, Arrival, or Approach does not preclude its availability or inclusion in the Flight Plan or Procedures portion of the system. The absence of a particular Departure, Arrival, or Approach under the Flight Plan or Procedures portion of the system does not preclude the ability to view the Chart for that procedure under the Chart feature. NOTE: Features that are selectable on the main map page, such as obstacles, airports, airspace, and other waypoint types that are not visible beneath the overlaid chart, remain selectable even when an approach chart is overlaid on the main map. 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). SafeTaxi and Chartview are to be used by the flight crew to orient themselves on the airport surface to improve pilot situational awareness during ground operations. The chart page will default to the nearest airport if no flight plan or destination airport is present. While you are on the ground, the displayed charts will default to the current airport location regardless of flight plan. The optional ChartView and FliteCharts provide on-board electronic terminal procedures charts. Electronic charts offer the convenience of rapid access to essential information. Either ChartView or FliteCharts may be configured in the system, but not both. ChartView resembles the paper version of Jeppesen terminal procedures charts.
