SECTION 10: AUX PAGES

10.1 AUX PAGE GROUP

Section 3.1 introduced the GNS 530’s main page groups (Table 10-1)—NAV, WPT, AUX, NRST—and described each page in the NAV group. The third page group (AUX) allows the pilot to change unit settings. The AUX pages (Figure 10-1) also provide trip planning, fuel planning, density altitude, true airspeed, and winds aloft calculations.
