12.5.7 Precipitation (PRECIP) Data
Graphical data is overlaid on the map indicating the rainfall detected by
ground based radar for a specific area. The colors indicating increasing levels
of rainfall progresses from light green for light rainfall to red for heavy rainfall.
Review the Limitations section in the front of this guide for the limitations that
apply to the Connext data. Rainfall data is color coded as follows:
Figure 12-82 Connext PRECIP Weather Map Display and Legend
The "No Coverage" color indicates that no data is available for that area, and
rainfall in that area is unknown.
When weather data is received, the airborne system will display that data for
20 minutes. If no new data has been received for a given area, the rainfall will
be removed after 20 minutes and the area will revert back to the "No Coverage"
color.
The Connext Weather Function is based on a ground-to-air data link and
requires that the appropriate ground systems are broadcasting weather data and
the aircraft is within reception range of the Ground Broadcast Transceiver (GBT).
12.5.7.1 Animating Precipitation Data
NOTE: Animated Precipitation functionality is available in software version
6.00 and later.

12.5.11 PIREPs
Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) provide timely weather information for a
particular route of flight. When significant weather conditions are reported or
forecast, Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities are required to solicit PIREPs. A
PIREP may contain non-forecast adverse weather conditions, such as low in-
flight visibility, icing conditions, wind shear, and turbulence. PIREPs are issued
as either Routine (UA) or Urgent (UUA).

12.6 FIS-B Weather
The Flight Information Services (FIS-B) function is capable of displaying text
and graphic weather information with GDL 88 installations. 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 Legend
A cyan checkerboard pattern indicates that no data is available for that area,
and rainfall in that area is unknown.
The FIS-B Function is based on a ground-to-air data link and requires that
the appropriate ground systems are broadcasting weather data and the aircraft is
within reception range of the Ground Broadcast Transceiver (GBT).

12.6.2 FIS-B NEXRAD
WSR-88D weather surveillance radar or NEXRAD (NEXt generation RADar) is
a Doppler radar system that has greatly improved the detection of meteorological
events such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. 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 Abnormalities
There 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-line
12.6.2.2 NEXRAD Limitations
Certain 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.

12.6.2.3 NEXRAD Intensity
Colors 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 NEXRAD
When 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.

12.6.5 FIS-B PIREPs
Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) provide timely weather information. When
significant weather conditions are reported or forecast, Air Traffic Control (ATC)
facilities are required to solicit PIREPs. A PIREP may contain non-forecast
adverse weather conditions, such as low in-flight visibility, icing conditions,
wind shear, and turbulence. PIREPs are issued as either Routine (UA) or Urgent
(UUA). The update rate is approximately every 20 minutes.
1. While viewing the FIS-B weather page, touch the Menu key
to select the PIREP choice.
2. Touch the PIREP key to toggle PIREPs on or off.

13.7 Nearest Airspace
The Nearest Airspace Page, alerts you to as many as 25 controlled or special
use airspaces near or in your flight path. Alerts are provided according to the
following conditions:
• If your projected course will take you inside an airspace within the
next ten minutes, the alert message “AIRSPACE ALERT - Airspace entry
in less than 10 minutes” appears. 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.
NOTE: The Airspace Alert setting does not alter the depiction of airspace,
or change the Smart Airspace setting for the main map page.

NOTE: Refer to the Weather Section for information about SiriusXM
Weather products.
The optional SiriusXM Satellite Radio entertainment feature of the GDL 69A
Data Link Receiver is available for the pilot’s and passengers’ enjoyment. The
GDL 69A can receive SiriusXM Satellite Radio entertainment services at any
altitude throughout the Continental U.S. Entertainment audio is not available
on the GDL 69 Data Link Receiver.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio offers a variety of radio programming over long distances
without having to constantly search for new stations. Based on signals from satellites,
coverage far exceeds land-based transmissions. SiriusXM Satellite Radio services
are subscription-based. For more information on specific service packages, visit
http://www.garmin.com/xm/.
Audio entertainment is available through the SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
when activated in the optional installation of the GDL 69A. The GTN unit serves
as the display and control head for your remotely mounted GDL 69A. When
enabled, the SiriusXM Satellite Radio audio entertainment is accessible in the
Music function.
The information on the SiriusXM Satellite Radio display is composed of
four areas: the Active Channel, Available Channels, Category of the highlighted
channel, and the Volume setting. The Active Channel window shows the
Channel Name and Number, Artist, Song Title, and Category.

14.2 Activating SiriusXM Satellite Radio Services
The service is activated by providing SiriusXM Satellite Radio with either
one or two coded IDs, depending on the equipment. Either the Audio Radio ID
or the Data Radio ID, or both, must be provided to SiriusXM Satellite Radio to
activate the entertainment subscription. The SiriusXM Satellite Radio Activation
Instructions are included with the GDL 69A (also available at www.garmin.
com, P/N 190-00355-04).
It is not required to activate both the entertainment and weather service
subscriptions with the GDL 69A. Either or both services can be activated.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio uses one or both of the coded IDs to send an activation
signal that, when received by the GDL 69A, allows it to play entertainment
programming.
These IDs are located:
• On the label on the back of the Data Link Receiver
• On the Music Menu
Contact the installer if the Data Radio ID and the Audio Radio ID cannot be
located.
NOTE: Refer to the GDL 69/69A SiriusXM Satellite Radio Activation
Instructions (190-00355-04) for further information.
1. Contact SiriusXM Satellite Radio through the e-mail address
listed on their web site (www.xmradio.com) or by the customer
service phone number listed on the web site (1-800-985-
9200).
2. Follow the instructions provided.
If SiriusXM weather services have not been activated, all the weather product
boxes are cleared on the XM Information Page and a yellow Activation Required
message is displayed in the center of the Weather Data Link Page (Map Page
Group). The Service Class refers to the groupings of weather products available
for subscription.

• Ensure the owner/operator of the aircraft in which the Data Link Receiver is
installed has subscribed to SiriusXM Satellite Radio
• Ensure the SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription has been activated
• Perform a quick check of the circuit breakers to ensure that power is applied
to the Data Link Receiver
For troubleshooting purposes, check the Menu on the Music Page or the

15 UTILITIES
The Utilities page provides a group of features that will support your flight
planning to make them easier and more efficient. The Vertical Calculator
(VCALC) calculates the time to begin descent and vertical speed required
to reach a desired altitude at the chosen location. The Flight Timers feature
provides a number of timer types to assist in monitoring your time in flight.
RAIM Prediction predicts if GPS coverage is available for your current location
or at a specified waypoint at any time and date. RAIM performs checks to ensure
that the GTN unit has adequate satellite geometry during your flight. The Trip
Planning feature allows the pilot to view desired track (DTK), distance (DIS),
estimated time en route (ETE), en route safe altitude (ESA) and estimated
time of arrival (ETA) information for a direct-to, point-to-point between two
specified waypoints or for any programmed flight plan. The Fuel Planning
feature will display fuel conditions along the active direct-to or flight plan when
equipped with fuel flow (FF) and/or fuel on board (FOB) sensors. The DALT/
TAS/Winds feature performs calculations about Altitude, Airspeed, and Winds.
The Scheduled Messages function allows you to create scheduled messages by
Message, Type, and setting a Timer. The Checklists function provides a built-in
method of reviewing your aircraft checklist. The Clean Screen function will lock
the touchscreen so the display can be cleaned without activating any functions.

15.3 RAIM Prediction
RAIM Prediction predicts if GPS coverage is available for your current location
or at a specified waypoint at any time and date. 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.

key.

15.4 Trip Planning
The GTN 7XX allows the pilot to view desired track (DTK), distance (DIS),
estimated time en route (ETE), en route safe altitude (ESA) and estimated time of
arrival (ETA) information for a direct-to, point-to-point between two specified
waypoints or for any programmed flight plan. 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.

In Point-To-Point mode these are manually selected waypoints (if there is an
active flight plan, these default to the endpoints of the active leg).
Some of the calculated trip statistics are dashed when the selected leg of the
active flight plan has already been flown.
• Desired Track (DTK) - DTK is shown as nnn° and is the desired track
between the selected waypoints. 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.
NOTE: The capability of using Sensor Data for the trip planning functions
is available in SW Versions 2.00, 4.10, and later.

15.5 Fuel Planning
Fuel Planning — This item displays fuel conditions along the active
direct-to or flight plan. You may manually enter fuel flow, ground speed
(GS) and fuel on board figures for planning purposes. Fuel planning figures
can be displayed not only for the currently active flight plan or direct-to,
but also point-to-point between two specified waypoints and for any pro-
grammed flight plan.
Fuel on board and fuel flow may be manually entered in the unit start-up
sequence and used to recalculate fuel on board as it is consumed. When fuel
flow or fuel on board is manually entered, the figures are retained the next time
you view the page (with fuel on board continuously recalculated).
NOTE: The capability of using Sensor Data for the trip planning functions
is available in SW Versions 2.00, 4.10, and later.

15.6 DALT/TAS/Winds
Density Alt / TAS / Winds — indicates the theoretical altitude at which
your aircraft performs depending upon several variables, including indicated
altitude (Indicated ALT), barometric pressure (BARO) and total air tempera-
ture (TAT; the temperature, including the heating effect of speed, read on
a standard outside temperature gauge). This item computes true airspeed
(TAS) and density altitude, based upon the factors above. Also, this feature
determines winds aloft — the wind direction and speed — and a head
wind/tail wind component, based on true airspeed, aircraft heading (HDG)
and ground speed. When a FADC provides pressure altitude and the Use
Sensor Data option is selected, the Baro key will not be present in the edit
mode and the Baro indication will not be shown in computed results.

and expiration date for the currently used databases, and also contains the
Database SYNC function. 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.

Several obstacle database options are available. 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). 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.

16.1.3.1 Database Info
The Database Info page shows the Current databases, databases on Standby
on the SD card for future use, and database conflicts. 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 Operation
Database 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
• Basemap
When 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.

NOTE: This feature is available in SW Versions 5.10, and later.
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.

4. Once all of the database transfers have completed, if the GTN
determines that at least one of the newly transferred databases
is effective and the aircraft is on the ground and stopped prior
to a flight, a pop-up and confirmation will be presented to
restart the GTN. No pop-up will appear if the aircraft is moving
or has been in the air since the GTN was turned on.
5. Touch Yes to continue updating the database.

6. Touch OK to complete the restart process. Following the
restart, the pilot will be prompted to update to the effective
databases (just like when a new database card is inserted).
Figure 16-10 System Restart - Step 2
WARNING: The unit will reset and all GPS navigation and moving map
functions may be lost while the unit regains GPS position. Communication
functions will be lost for a few seconds while the unit resets. Additionally,
if the user selects to update databases at that point, the ability to interact
with the GMA 35 audio panel, or change com frequencies will be lost until
all databases are updated.
7. When the unit restarts, the pilot will be prompted to update
the GTN to the newly transferred databases.
16.1.3.3 Database Sync Setup
When the GTN installer option is turned on to allow Database SYNC, the
pilot controls are available to turn Database SYNC on or off (Database SYNC is
turned on by default).
To change the Database SYNC preference:
1. While viewing the System Status page, touch the Menu key and
then touch the Database SYNC key to enable or disable the
Database SYNC feature. Once the feature is enabled, Database
SYNC will occur automatically when a card is inserted into the
GTN.

16.1.3.4 Standby Databases
The 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 Display
The 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.

16.1.3.5 Resolving Database Conflicts
If the GTN determines that there are multiple LRUs with the newest cycle of
a database, but they have different regions or types of that database (i.e.; Fixed-
wing vs. Rotorcraft navigation database, different regions of the navigation
database, or different obstacle database types) then a database conflict will
occur. When a database conflict occurs, that database will not be SYNC'd until
the pilot resolves the conflict. Initiate the resolve conflicts function on the unit
that has the databases to send to the other units.
1. Touch the Conflicts tab, and then touch Resolve Conflicts
on the LRU with the desired databases.
Figure 16-14 Database Conflicts
2. Touch OK at the prompt to continue conflict resolution.

16.2 GPS Status
16.2.1 GPS Status Page
The GPS Status Page provides a visual reference of GPS receiver functions,
including current satellite coverage, GPS receiver status, position accuracy, and
displays your present position (in latitude and longitude) and altitude. The GPS
Status Page also displays the current UTC time at the top right of the page.
The Satellite Status Page is helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal
levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. You may wish to
refer to this page occasionally to monitor GPS receiver performance and establish
a normal pattern for system operation. Should problems occur at a later date, you
may find it helpful to have an established baseline from which to compare.
1. While viewing the System page, touch GPS Status.

As the GPS receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar appears for each
satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite number (01-32, SBAS satellites will
have higher numbers) underneath each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition
is shown in the following stages:
Graph Symbol Description
No signal strength bars The receiver is looking for the satellites indicated.
Grey signal strength bars The receiver has found the satellite(s) and is collecting
data.
Yellow signal strength bars
The 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 bars
The receiver has found the satellite(s) but it has been
excluded by the FDE program as a faulty satellite.
Solid cyan signal strength
bars
The receiver has collected the necessary data, but is
not using the satellite in the position solution.
Solid green signal strength
bars
The receiver has collected the necessary data and the
satellite is being used in the position solution.
D
The “D” character inside the bars indicates differential
corrections (e.g. WAAS) are being used for that
satellite.
Table 16-2 Signal Strength Bar Graph Description
The Time and other data may not be displayed until the unit has acquired
enough satellites for a fix.
The sky view display at the left of the page shows the satellites currently in view
as well as their respective positions. The outer circle of the sky view represents
the horizon (with north at the top of the circle); the inner circle represents 45°
above the horizon and the center point shows the position directly overhead.
Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected
(hollow signal strength bar) before the satellite may be used for navigation (solid
signal strength bar). Once the GPS receiver has determined your position, the
GTN unit indicates your position, altitude, track and ground speed. The GPS
receiver status field also displays the following messages under the appropriate
conditions:

GPS Signal Message Description
Acquiring
The GPS receiver is acquiring satellites for navigation.
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.
LOI
The “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 Messages
The 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.

NOTE: Operating outside of an SBAS service area with SBAS enabled
may cause elevated EPU values to be displayed on the satellite status
page. 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. While viewing the System page, touch GPS Status.
2. If desired, touch the SBAS key to select an SBAS provider. The
SBAS list is based on the Aviation database.

16.4.5 Crossfill
Dual units may be interfaced to crossfill information between the two units.
This option will not be available unless dual units are configured.
When Crossfill is turned on with one GTN, it is automatically turned on in the
other GTN. Some items are always crossfilled regardless of the crossfill setting;
others are dependent on the crossfill setting.
The GTN can be can also be interfaced with the GNS 400W/500W units. The
GTN can automatically send the Active Flight Plan and active Direct-To course to
the GNS unit. The GTN User Waypoints can be manually sent to the GNS unit. The
GNS unit can manually send its User Waypoints to the GTN unit.
Waypoint names longer than six characters, or duplicates, sent from the GTN
unit to the GNS unit will replace some characters with a "+" sign, while leaving
significant characters to aid in identification (such as, USR003 becomes US+003).
NOTE: Upon crossfill being activated, the GTNs may take up to 10 seconds
to crossfill the flight plans. The pilot must verify the flight plan in each unit
prior to use. The GTN and GNS units must have databases with the same cycle.
NOTE: When GPS navigation is lost in either unit, crossfilling may not be
available until GPS is restored in both units. Crossfilling will resume once the
flightplan is changed on one of the units or crossfill is re-enabled.
NOTE: If two GTN 7XX units are crossfilled, then the same type (ChartView
or FlightCharts) and version (cycle number and effective dates) for the chart
database must be installed on both units in order for the correct chart to
be overlaid on the main map page.
16.4.5.1 GTN-to-GTN Crossfilling
This data is always crossfilled:
• User waypoints
• Flight plan catalog
• Alerts (traffic pop-up acknowledgement, missed approach waypoint pop-
up acknowledgement, altitude leg pop-up acknowledgement)
• External sensors (transponder status and commands, synchro heading)
• System setup:
- User-defined NAV frequencies to store favorites
- Date/Time convention
- Nearest airport criteria
- Units (Nav angle, Distance/Speed, etc.)

16.4.6 CDI Scale Selection
The CDI source and ILS CDI Capture type may be selected manually or
automatically. 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

limits listed below follow the selected CDI scale, unless corresponding flight
phases call for lower HAL. For example, if the 1.0 NM CDI setting is selected,
full-scale deflection during approach will still follow the approach CDI scale
settings.

An “auto” ILS CDI selection allows the GTN unit to automatically switch the
external CDI from the GPS receiver to the VLOC receiver, when intercepting
the final approach course. Or, select “manual” to manually switch the external
CDI connection, as needed (using the CDI key). If the unit is installed with a
KAP140/KFC225 autopilot, automatic switching will not take place.

16.9 Backlight Settings
The backlighting of the display and bezel keys can be adjusted automatically
or manually. The default setting (automatic backlighting adjustment) uses
photocell technology to automatically adjust for ambient lighting conditions.
Photocell calibration curves are pre-configured to optimize display appearance
through a broad range of cockpit lighting conditions. A manual offset creates
a deviation form the normal curve. 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. If the lighting is not satisfactory, contact the
installer to adjust the curves.
Manual backlighting adjustment can be accomplished using the existing
instrument panel dimmer bus or the following procedures.
1. While viewing the System page, touch the Backlight key.
2. Touch the Arrow keys to adjust the Backlight level.
Touch The Arrow Keys
For Manual Offset

16.11.1 Operation
Data output from the GTN and Flight Stream 210 occurs automatically
and requires no pilot action (such as, flight plan, GPS position, and attitude).
Additionally, ADS-B traffic and weather can be output from the Flight Stream
when connected to a GDL 88 and XM WX and SiriusXM satellite radio
information can output when connected a GDL 69.
From the Connext Setup page, the pilot can enable/disable flight plan
importing, change the Flight Stream Bluetooth name, and manage paired
devices.
The device status indicates if the portable device is connected and
communicating with the Flight Stream. The “Auto-Reconnect” setting determines
if the Flight Stream will automatically connect to up to four devices when in
range. When this setting is disabled, the pilot must initiate the connection from
the device. Removing a device from this page by pressing “Remove” will require
the device to be paired again before transferring data.
NOTE: If the pairing is removed from either device (portable device or
GTN) it must be removed on the other device before a new pairing to that
same device is established again. Essentially, pairing must be removed on
both devices before repairing.

From the Connext Setup page, the pilot can enable/disable Bluetooth, change
the GMA 35c Bluetooth name, and manage paired devices. On the Paired
Devices page, the device status indicates if the portable device is connected and
communicating with the GMA 35c. Only one portable device can be connected
to the GMA 35c at a time. To connect a different device when one is already
connected, the existing connection must be ended by removing the portable
device pairing from the GMA 35c or by disconnecting or disabling Bluetooth on
the portable device. Removing a device from this page by pressing “Remove” will
require the device to be paired again before streaming audio.
NOTE: If the pairing is removed from either device (portable device or
GMA) it must be removed on the other device before a new pairing to that
same device is established again. Essentially, pairing must be removed on
both devices before repairing.
New devices can only be paired with the GMA 35c when it is in “Pairing
Mode”. The GMA will be in pairing mode when on the Connext Setup page or
the Manage Paired Devices page. The pairing must be initiated by the portable
device. A pop-up will be displayed on the portable device to confirm the pairing.

Note 1: There are several reference datums that waypoints can be surveyed against.
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.
The majority of non-WGS84 waypoints are located outside of the United States.

19.2.1 Jeppesen Databases
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 “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.

19.2.2 Garmin Databases
NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from
government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the
data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
The Supplemental Data Card should not be removed except to update the
databases stored on the card. The data cards cannot be moved between units.
SD Card
Figure 19-1 SD Card Database Location
The Garmin databases can be updated by following the instructions on fly.
garmin.com. Once the updated files have been downloaded from the web site, a
PC equipped with an appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program
the new databases onto the existing Supplemental Data Cards. The following
equipment is required to perform the update:
• Windows-compatible PC computer (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows
7 recommended)
• SanDisk SD Card Reader, P/Ns SDDR-93 or SDDR-99 or equivalent card
reader
• Updated database obtained from the Garmin web site
• Existing Garmin Supplemental Database SD Card
It may be necessary to have the system configured by a Garmin authorized

service facility in order to use certain database features.
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 cards

Updating Garmin Databases
1. 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.

19.4 Glove Qualification Procedure
This procedure is used to qualify a specific glove for use with the GTN system
by guiding the user through a variety of tasks that use the touchscreen. 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 key
5. 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
