  7. 7How to switch from GPS Mode to VLOC modeRotate CDI NOB UPPER RIGHT
  8. 8How do you get OBS mode?Push upper right CDI nob
  9. 9Best way to enter frequenciesYou can still use old nob (lower left) but since everything COM/NAV is in hundred megahertz range just 182 will fill in 118.2
  10. 10How can you easily move from point to point on the map display moving from one to the next in your flight plan, centering as you go?Push view cursor LSK on left then rotate FMS Text sensitive nob (lower right).
  11. 11How do you display an abbreviated flight plan vs a fully expanded one which lists every single intersection?LSK view compact vs View Expanded
  12. 12How do you enter an airway?Enter your associated waypoint or fix, push FMS to make drop down display and rotate nob and push nob to select it. Next it will ask where you want to exit the airway and lists all of the exits -again scroll and select.
  13. 13How do you enter an arrival?Enter your flight plan, including the destination airport then push on FMS nob to get the edit cursor and scroll up (CCW) to arrival then push the button and drop down/select the correct one.
  14. 14You cannot get the list of arrivals or approaches to an airport before what?Without first entering the airport itself
  15. 15What’s implied or indicated by the ATC Term radial in terms of situational awareness?This term is a beating from a station, which you must almost always translate into a flyable route 180 degrees opposite.
  16. 16When are you not permitted to offset or rubber band?When on a procedure

  23. 23COM/VLOC KnobLower left
  24. 24CDI NAV Source KnobUpper right
  25. 25IFD Multifunction KnobLower right
  26. 26An important thing to continually scan and verify on the displayTop right in green, either GPS or VLOC to indicate the unit is currently navigating the flight plan leg in that mode. GPS is displayed in yellow if there’s no flight plan, or it didn’t successfully
  27. 27Something on screen which should periodically be incorporated into scan?Upper right GPS or VLOCK in green. If GPS is displayed in yellow it’s either because there is no flight plan, it didn’t successfully activate (failed to push LSK or failed to automatically activate) or has no active flight plan leg or when no GPS signal received.
  28. 28What should you always be aware of in terms of which leg?Which is displayed in magenta because that’s the one the box is trying to fly.
  29. 29Either it’s VFR or you’ve broken out high enough with a busy VFR traffic pattern that you need to fly your best route to the 45 entry. What’s the best technique to declutter display while looking out for traffic?Multiple clicks of the bottom two LSKs to empty their associated levels of triangular fill, enabling you to better spot on screen traffic & search outside, together with passengers to spot. When zeroed out comparable to 430 traffic screen with own ship symbol & Range rings but also includes any existing course line. To zoom out press Map tab rotate IFD Multifunction
  30. 30Current legMagenta
  31. 31Next legBerber pole
  32. 32All legs behind?White
  33. 33All legs past next?Also white
  34. 34How to toggle between orth up & track upMap tab press IFD Multifunction
  35. 35How to zoom in & outMap tab rotate IFD Multifunction
  36. 36How to recenter?Wait 20 seconds or double tap anywhere on screen or by pressing IFD Multifunction knob while in map view.
  37. 37How should you always verify your entered flight plan?while still in FMS mode on FPL tab push the map tab and push the view expanded LSK repeatedly until caption “view cursor” appears. The upper left will display “cursor centered”. Scroll through inspecting the route by turning the outer IFD Multifunction knob, which will recenter on each waypoint as you turn.
  38. 38Prior to launching, anytime you’re relying on the IFD for navigation, you should always enter the plan, verify it and even though it has an automatic sensing/activate feature you should manually activate it IOT verify what?That the upper right GPS turns from white to green & the first leg turns magenta/next leg barber pole. You successfully verified it’s working prior to relying on it - a good habit which may pay off one day.
  39. 39If ATC directs or for other unplanned reason(s) you must now amend to go direct to a waypoint already in your plan what’s the process?FMS rocker, select FPL tab (if necessary), MAP tab (if necessary on L side of FMS FPL pg), turn outer IFD Multifuction knob until correct waypoint is surrounded by cyan box (called edit cursor) or just by tap/selecting on screen, press direct to (new route displays superimposed over old in white), verify it looks right, then press enter (are you sure?) if so enter again & now white turns magenta,…
  40. 40If ATC directs or for other unplanned reason(s) you must now amend to go direct to a waypoint which IS NOT ALREADY IN YOUR FLIGHTPLAN?Press direct to and likely a direct to box appears, probably to one of the waypoints listed in your plan. Turn IFD Multfunction inner (smaller knob and respell out correct waypoint, using larger to shift cursor right as you spell). Alternatively
    , push on DT box & spell out on Kwerty kb) If nominations display correct one push on it, otherwise enter, enter as before. This time there’s a continuity gap.
  41. 41How to close a flight plan gapIf on IFR with ATC request the next desired fix before arriving at current waypoint (ideally the one on the other side of the gap). If approved, put the cyan cursor around the flight plan gap or alternatively tap on gap & bottom LSK switches to connect WPT & WPT (using actual names of course) & press to connect or press CLR.
  42. 42How do you add a waypoint due to ATC rerouting?Typically they will explain why then “after _____ direct WPT, direct WPT, then as filed.” Press FMS rocker, FPL tab (If necessary) then MAP tab on left ((if necessary), turn outer IFD Multifunction knob to move insert cursor into position or alternatively push into correct position on screen, enter twice WPT box appears enter & new route appears in cyan & enter again & it switches to either barber pole or white (depending upon where)
  43. 43Flight plan entering protocalFMS left rocker to FPL & when plan pops up origin is likely already listed in blue. If not enter & use big & small IFD Multifunction knob to enter departure APT, rwy & also to highlight departure box & press enter revealing drop down of any SIDS & scroll/select any transition in same way thence to any waypoint, airway (IA), exit WPT & destination (always listed before any STAR). If entering push on destination & scroll, highlight, drop down & select in same way as SID using inner/ outer IFD,… including transitions. Tap on MAP tab to open preview map using view cursor mode to check every bit of plan for continuity & a confirmation of where we’re going that makes sense then pus Activate Flight Plan LSK, verify upper right green GPS,…
  44. 44You’ve just departed an airport on a SID, which includes ATC vectors when you’re instructed as follows: “Cessna 1234 turn left heading 185, intercept the VOR 138 degree radial, continue the _____ departure”. How do we proceed?Initiate your turn, set heading & course bugs (ideally commanded by autopilot in heading mode), left rocker FMS to FPL tab, MAP tab on left to display map next to FPL waypoints & tap whichever waypoint is on the far side of that outbound radial (because GPS NAV is always to, never from) & press LSK “Activate Leg”. Once beginning to intercept switch any autopilot to course mode & ensure both bugs reflect 138.
  45. 45Never forget when ATC instructs you to intercept a specified degree radial, it is a bearing _____ whatever fix it’s referenced to, which often (or usually) requires you to switch to ____ mode and track its ______.Never forget when ATC instructs you to intercept a specified degree radial, it is a bearing FROM whatever fix it’s referenced to, which often (or usually) requires you to switch to OBS mode and track its RECIPROCAL .
  46. 46One limitation of course offsets?You cannot perform in OBS Mode.
  47. 47How do you perform course offsets?1. Verify in GPS Mode
    2. Select current “To” waypoint using IFD Multifunction knob
    3. Press Offset Route LSK
    4. When “Con
  48. 48How do you change flight plan using rubber band mode?1. Map tab IFD Display
    2. Hold where you want to amend for at least two seconds, verifying that magenta becomes cyan
    3. Maintaining screen contact drag/pull to desired position
    4. If near existing intersection on chart, it gets inserted, otherwise, the new rubber band waypoint is added.
    5. Press enter to confirm dialogue box.
    6. Perform same changes in ForeFlight & verify “no contact” clearance altitude or distance to any potential terrain first contact (crash), triggering need for further change. In fact, safer to make the ForeFlight change first if questionable & there’s ample time to do so.
  49. 49Add airway process1. Enter or verify geofill origin
    2. Enter “onto airway” WPT
    3. Move insert cursor after this waypoint & press enter for drop down list of airways
    4. Select desired Airway & list of exit (off airway) waypoints drop down
    5. Scroll select or spell out/press confirm correct geofill nomination.
    6. Compact view or expanded for just the two, or all of the waypoints.
    7. Check against ForeFlight (or whichever in use) for identical plans, that they make sense & serviceable altitudes.
  50. 50How to save an IFD Flight Plan1. Press right FMS rocker twice or tap route tab
    2. Select one of at least four route choices; Current, New, (already) Saved & Route Management LSKs (invert, copy, back to route, insert,…)
    3. Tap blue name to edit/change & when finished press kwerty enter button
    4. Police, examine & correct any inverted flight plans, as IFD will default to what it thinks is best,…
    5. To verify saved plans you can optionally turn off and re-power to return to Route screen where there’s now no current FPL. Push or scroll select desired & press Activate Route LSK & press screen confirmation box.
    6. At any time you may scroll select any plan & push CLR hard key to delete & press dialogue confirmation to delete from routes.
  51. 51Where is the one page where you cannot delete a flight plan?Oddly enough, it’s the FPL Page. Gotta go to Routes to gitterdone
  52. 52ATC Specifies an unpublished hold1. FPL Tab
    2. Use touch screen or MF Knob to place cursor under the holding fix (if not there enter it)
    3. Press enter to acquire drop down
    4. Select hold at ____ & enter again.
    5. Inspect & amend entered hold to e
  53. 53You’ve received, entered and inspected a hold (through view cursor) & determined changes required to comply with hold instructions, how do you proceed with changes?1. Close Flight Plan Map by pushing FPL tab because hold details aren’t displayed while map is open.
    2. Turn inner IFD Multifunction to select right field, which then turns cyan (indicating standard right turns).
    3. Press enter twice for right field to turn white and turn knob to toggle L/R then enter.
    4. Use IFD Multifunction (inner is ones/outer tens) to select inbound course & press enter
  54. 54What’s unique about the display when fully established in a hold?Everything is magenta “current leg” without a barber pole next/white beyond depicted because we are in suspend mode and there really is no next leg. We will stay here until we select an exit or run out of fuel.
  55. 55Checklist for hold corrections1. Correct inbound vs radial
    2. Correct direction of turns (default right)
    3. Leg length
  56. 56Suppose you have completed several turning holds, have just turned outbound for another lap when controller instructs to proceed direct to the holding fix then on course -what’s the process?Direct to (verify holding fix displayed or tune), enter, enter. Check display -if still showing racetrack select & clear (erase). In the end we should have a magenta, a barber pole and a white.
  57. 57IFD 440 & 410 have no nearest hard key. How do we do this operation?FMS rocker, NRST Tab,…
  58. 58One thing to remember about the IFD OBS nobIt’s disabled when displayed on the Skyview HDX
  59. 59Nearest list is limited to what distance?100 NM (ARTCC is 200 NM)
  60. 60Datalink wx mission & limitationsMeant as aid to ADM for pilot planning & near term decisions focusing on avoiding areas of inclement wx. It’s not designed for wx penetration & storm cell circumnavigation, lacking sufficient resolution & speed of updates necessary for tactical maneuvering.
