3D Connexion GNS 530(A) manual Terrain, Selectable Display Settings

SECTION 3 NAV PAGES

3.5 TERRAIN PAGE

NOTE: GNS 530 units may* display either a TERRAIN Page or a TAWS Page, (but not both) depending upon the installed hardware and configuration.

*Some earlier units are not equipped to support the TERRAIN and/or TAWS functionality, so therefore will not have a TERRAIN or TAWS page available.

TERRAIN Page

To display the TERRAIN Page, select the NAV Page Group and turn the small right knob until the TERRAIN Page is displayed (Figure 3-27). The TERRAIN Page displays:

•GPS-derived MSL altitude in increments of 20 feet or 10 meters, depending on unit configura- tion. The ‘G’ to right of the MSL altitude display reminds the pilot that altitude is GPS-derived.

•Aircraft ground track

•Terrain Range - Indicates the terrain elevation in colors relative to the aircraft altitude

•Range marking rings - (1 nm, 2 nm, 5 nm, 10 nm, 25 nm, 50 nm, and 100 nm)

•Heading Indicator - The heading indication on the TERRAIN Page always displays ‘TRK’ for Track- up, unless there is no valid heading

•Obstacles

•Potential Impact Points

NOTE: See Section 12 for a full description of TERRAIN functions.

Selectable Display Settings

The TERRAIN Page has two selectable view settings:

•360˚ View - View from above aircraft depicting surrounding terrain on all sides (Figure 3-27)

•120˚ View - View of terrain ahead of and 60˚ to either side of the aircraft flight path
