SECTION 16 – MESSAGES,
ABBREVIATIONS, & NAV TERMS
16-3
Data transfer cancelled (crossfill is busy)
- An attempt to transfer flight plan data during a
unit-to-unit crossfill was cancelled. The host unit
is busy or unable to communicate. Wait until any
previous crossfill operation is complete before
attempting the transfer again.
Data transfer cancelled (data invalid) - An
attempt to transfer a single user waypoint during a
unit-to-unit crossfill was cancelled. No waypoint
was specified on the Crossfill Page. Select a user
waypoint and attempt the transfer again.
Data transfer cancelled (version mismatch)
- An attempt to transfer data during a unit-to-unit
crossfill was cancelled. The database versions
of the two 500 Series units are not identical. If
necessary, update the database(s) so they match.
Contact Jeppesen or your Garmin dealer for
assistance.
Data transfer error, please re-transmit - An
error was detected during unit-to-unit crossfill
of user data (user waypoints and/or flight plans).
The data transfer should be attempted again.
Data transfer is complete - The unit-to-unit
crossfill of user waypoint data has finished.
Database changed, validate user modified
procedures - One or more approaches,
departures, or arrivals have been modified from
their original published form. When the NavData
card is replaced (database update), the changes in
the new database must be manually verified. This
message occurs each time a flight plan containing
a modified procedure (generated from a prior
database version) is activated. To eliminate the
message, re-create the flight plan from the new
database, then make the desired modifications.
Degraded accuracy - GPS position accuracy has
been degraded and RAIM is not available. Poor
satellite geometry (or coverage) has resulted in
a horizontal DOP greater than 4.0. Additional
cross-checking using another navigation source
is required to verify the integrity of the GPS
position.
Display backlight failure - The GNS 530 has
detected a failure in the display backlighting. The
unit should be taken to your Garmin dealer for
service.
Do not use for navigation - The GNS 530 is
in Demo Mode and must not be used for actual
navigation.
FPL has been truncated - The flight plan (FPL)
was truncated because not enough room existed
to insert an approach, departure, or arrival. This
message also appears when an approach has
been deleted from a stored flight plan because an
approach could not be found. These conditions
may occur upon power up when a database
change increases the number of waypoints in,
or removes an approach from, an instrument
procedure.
FPL is full - remove unnecessary waypoints
- An attempt has been made to add more than 31
waypoints to a flight plan (FPL). The GNS 530
does not allow more than 31 waypoints per flight
plan.
FPL leg will not be smoothed - The upcoming
flight plan (FPL) leg is too short for smooth
waypoint transitions. Expect a rapid change in
the CDI.
