SECTION 7: WPT PAGES

7.1 WPT PAGE GROUP

Section 3.1 introduced the GNS 530’s main page groups (Table 7-1)—NAV, WPT, AUX, NRST—and described each page in the NAV group. This second page group (WPT) provides information for the thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, runways, frequencies, and procedures stored on the Jeppesen NavData card. A WPT page is also provided to display information for up to 1,000 user-created waypoints.

SECTION 7 WPT PAGES

Quickly selecting a WPT page:

1)From any page, press and hold the CLR Key to select the Default NAV Page (this step may be skipped if the unit is already displaying any of the main pages.)

2)Turn the large right knob to select the WPT Page Group. ‘WPT’ appears along the bottom of the screen.

3)Turn the small right knob to select the desired WPT page.

NOTE: The GNS 530 uses International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) identiﬁers for all airports. All U.S. airport identiﬁers which contain only letters use the preﬁx ‘K’. For example, Los Angeles International is KLAX under the ICAO standard. Other airports, such as Otten Memorial (3VS), that contain numbers in the identiﬁer, do not require the ‘K’ preﬁx. Many foreign countries use two letter preﬁxes.

The WPT Page Group includes ten pages (Figure 7-1). While viewing any WPT page, turn the small right knob to select a different WPT page. The ﬁrst six pages provide detailed information for the selected airport: location, runways, frequencies, approaches, arrivals, and departures. The last four pages provide information for intersections, NDBs, VORs, and user-created waypoints.

After a WPT page is selected, information for a waypoint may be viewed by entering the identiﬁer (or name) of the desired waypoint. Airports, NDBs, and VORs may be selected by identiﬁer, facility name, or location (city).
