Description SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION OVERVIEW The GNS-XL Flight Management System is an integrated system designed to give the pilot centralized control for the navigation sensors, computer based flight planning, fuel management, and radio management. The GNS-XL has a full color flat panel LCD display, alpha-numeric and function keys, a Global Positioning Sensor (GPS), and a navigation data base. All these are housed in a panel/pedestal mounted Control Display Unit (CDU).
PAGE 25
Description characteristics of each type of sensor. For example, an Inertial Reference System (IRS) has excellent short term characteristics while VLF/Omega has excellent long term stability. The internal GPS sensor has excellent overall characteristics and will usually be the dominant sensor during blending. However, when RAIM is available, the GPS sensor is the sole contributor to the composite position.

System Operation EXECUTING APPROACHES WARNING: When entering PTs or HP airspace at high speed the FMS may not constrain the airplane from violating maneuvering airspace. Pilots are responsible for procedural compliance. When the aircraft is within 30NM of the airport, the system will go into the Approach Armed mode. The CDI sensitivity will change from 5.0NM full scale deflection to 1.0NM full scale deflection. At this point the aircraft may bank slightly due to increased roll steering gains.
PAGE 156
System Operation At the MAP the pilot must manually or via the HDG Mode maneuver the aircraft to the Missed Approach Procedure waypoint. If, after the missed approach, an approach at a different airport is desired, erase the current approach procedure before selecting a procedure at the new airport.

LOSS OF POWER IN FLIGHT THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN A REMOTE AREA WHERE NAVAIDS ARE UNAVAILABLE AND THERE IS REASON TO BELIEVE THE SENSORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMPOSITE POSITION MAY BE IN ERROR. The procedure allows the pilot to initialize enroute when the aircraft has sustained a loss of power for more than 7 seconds.
PAGE 245
System Operation 8. BACK Key - DEPRESS to return to HOLD Page. NOTE: An Offset Waypoint (#OFF*) can be input with a radial based on the LAST TK value and distance calculated from the LAST GS value as well as the time elapsed from power off, provided significant changes to aircraft track or groundspeed have not been made. If the aircraft has turned or if the speed has changed, the pilot should estimate the track and distance traveled since the loss of power. 9. Offset Waypoint IDENT - INSERT. 10.
PAGE 246
System Operation The CDU has non-volatile storage for up to 999 waypoints which are retained in memory ONLY if the waypoints are entered on a Stored Flight Plan. The ICAO identifiers stored in the database can not be used for personalized waypoints. Attempting to enter more than 999 pilot entered waypoints in memory causes MEM FULL to be displayed on the FLIGHT PLAN Page. The message light will flash and WPT MEM FULL will be displayed on the SYSTEM MESSAGES Page.

SECTION 7 AFIS AIRBORNE FLIGHT INFORMATION SYSTEM AND SATELLITE DATA COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM This section applies only to aircraft equipped with an AFIS system. The purpose of this section is to acquaint users of AFIS Flight Plan and Weather Advisory Services with the equipment, its capabilities, and its operation. AFIS services are ADVISORY only, as they contain elements provided by the National Weather Service and information supplied by the pilot.

DESCRIPTION AFIS is an Airborne Flight Information System that provides integrated flight planning and performance management interfaces to the GNS-XL Nav Management System. These interfaces consist of three major capabilities: 1. Access to ground based Global Data Center computers from a Personal Computer for the purpose of generating or retrieving performance optimized flight plans and current aviation weather; 2.
PAGE 268
GLOBAL DATA CENTER (GDC) The Global Data Center (GDC) is a ground based computer facility built and operated by Honeywell for the purpose of providing flight planning, aviation weather, and message forwarding services to AFIS operators on a subscription basis. The GDC communicates with the operator via data quality telephone lines to a Personal Computer as well as through the ACARS and satellite networks directly to the aircraft in flight. DATA TRANSFER UNIT (DTU) The Data Transfer Unit (DTU) is a 3.
PAGE 269
The Satellite Data Communications System consists of the following components: Satellite Communications Unit (SCU), High Power Amplifier/ Low Noise Amplifier (HPA/LNA), and Satellite Antenna. SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS UNIT (SCU) The Satellite Communications Unit (SCU) incorporates the satellite transceiver and instruction for transmitting to and receiving data from the satellite network.
