GPS:
• Waypoint Status Bar
• Cannot disable – but can cover…
• Next waypoint, distance to go,
desired (planned) track,
instantaneous track (°M)
 The Primary Flight Display
Using the FMS knobs: tuning the ADF or DME
• Bring up the ADF 113.35
window;
SAM 125.60
• Use the outer & inner
113.35 SAM
knobs to select fields and change digits;
• IMPORTANT: Press ENTER, not the FMS knob itself, to accept the
new value. Pressing the FMS knob simply cancels the change.

• Use MAP softkey to overlay information

•Topography, Terrain Awareness, Stormscope etc
• GPS flight plan will always be overlaid

Changing map scale:

• Rotate RANGE knob
Press the range knob to generate a map panning arrow
• Range knob acts as a joystick to pan cursor on map
• More information displayed at top of screen

Page Groups
• Map, Waypoint, Auxiliary, Nearest
Pages within groups
• Navigate using boxes to keep track of where you are
• Navigate with FMS knobs
• Change groups and change pages within each group
The Audio Selector Panel

 Similar functions to other Garmin audio panels

- “COM1 MIC” – listen & talk
- “COM1” – just listen

 Audio identification of DME / ADF

 Volumes
- Coms, Navaids (not DME) have own volume
- Intercom volume for pilot, one other for all pax
