Press momentarily to disable automatic squelch control. The VLOC Volume Knob controls audio volume for the selected VOR/Localizer frequency. Press momentarily to enable/disable the ident tone. The large left knob is used to tune the megahertz (MHz) value of the standby frequency for the COM transceiver or the VLOC receiver, whichever is currently selected by the tuning cursor. 2 The small left knob is used to tune the kilohertz (kHz) value of the standby frequency for the COM transceiver or the VLOC receiver, whichever is currently selected by the tuning cursor. Press this knob momentarily to toggle the tuning cursor between the COM and VLOC frequency fields. The COM Flip-flop Key is used to swap the active and standby COM frequencies. Press and hold to select emergency channel (121.500 MHz). The VLOC Flip-flop Key is used to swap the active and standby VLOC frequencies (i.e., make the selected standby frequency active). GNS 430 Quick Reference KEYS AND KNOBS RIGHT-HAND KEYS AND KNOBS The RNG Key allows the pilot to select the desired map range. Use the up arrow of the key to zoom out to a larger area, or the down arrow to zoom in to a smaller area. The Direct-to Key provides access to the direct-to function, which allows the pilot to enter a destination waypoint and establishes a direct course to the selected destination. The MENU Key displays a context-sensitive list of options. This options list allows the pilot to access additional features or make settings changes which relate to the currently displayed page. The CLR Key is used to erase information, remove map detail, or to cancel an entry. Press and hold the CLR key to immediately display the Default NAV Page. The ENT Key is used to approve an operation or complete data entry. It is also used to confirm information, such as during power on. The large right knob is used to select between the various page groups: NAV, WPT, AUX, or NRST. With the on-screen cursor enabled, the large right knob allows the pilot to move the cursor about the page. The large right knob is also used to move the target pointer right (turn clockwise) or left (counterclockwise) when the map panning function is active. The small right knob is used to select between the various pages within one of the groups listed above. Press this knob momentarily to display the on-screen cursor. The cursor allows the pilot to enter data and/or make a selection from a list of options. The small right knob is also used to move the target pointer up (turn clockwise) or down (counterclockwise) when the map panning function is active. BOTTOM ROW KEYS The CDI Key is used to toggle which navigation source (GPS or VLOC) provides output to an external HSI or CDI. The OBS Key is used to select manual or automatic sequencing of waypoints. Pressing the OBS Key selects OBS mode, which retains the current `active to' waypoint as the navigation reference even after passing the waypoint (i.e., prevents sequencing to the next waypoint). Pressing the OBS Key again returns the unit to normal operation, with automatic sequencing of waypoints. When OBS mode is selected, the pilot may set the desired course to/ from a waypoint using the `Select OBS Course' pop-up window, or an external OBS selector on the HSI or CDI. The MSG Key is used to view system messages and to alert the pilot to important warnings and requirements. The FPL Key allows the pilot to create, edit, activate, and invert flight plans, as well as access approaches, departures, and arrivals. A closest point to flight plan feature is also available from the FPL Key. The PROC Key allows the pilot to select and remove approaches, departures, and arrivals from the flight plan. When using a flight plan, available procedures for the departure and/or arrival airport are offered automatically. Otherwise, the pilot may select the desired airport, then the desired procedure. TO POWER ON THE GNS 430 1) Turn the COM Power/Volume Knob clockwise to turn the unit power on and set the desired radio volume. A welcome page appears briefly while the unit performs a self test, followed sequentially by the Land Data Page, then (if configured for TERRAIN) the Terrain Data Page, the Obstacle Data Page, and the Airport Terrain Data Page, as the unit conducts a self-test to ensure proper operation. 3 2) GNS 430 Quick Reference POWER ON 3) Once the self-test concludes, the Database Confirmation Page is displayed, showing the effective and expiration dates of the Jeppesen database on the NavData® card. Press the ENT Key to acknowledge the Database Page and proceed to the Instrument Panel Self-test Page. SCREEN LAYOUT (WINDOWS) The GNS 430's display is divided into three separate `windows' (or screen areas). The left 1/4 of the display provides a COM window (top two lines) and a VLOC window (bottom two lines). The right 3/4 of the display consists of a GPS window, which shows the various navigation, waypoint information and settings `pages'. COM Window; Active Frequency Standby Frequency VLOC Window GPS Window 4) The Instrument Panel Self-test Page allows the pilot to verify that the GNS 430 is communicating properly with in-panel instruments. Compare on-screen indications with the information depicted on connected instruments, such as the CDI, HSI, RMI, and/or external annunciators. After verifying proper operation, press the ENT Key to display the Satellite Status Page. Each unique screen of information is referred to as a page. Pages are typically selected using the small and large right knobs, with the cursor removed from the GPS Window. See pages 6 and 7 for details on arrangement of the GNS 430's main pages. CURSORS There are two separate cursors: a tuning cursor and a GPS window cursor. The tuning cursor is used to select the standby COM or VLOC frequency. If desired, press the small left knob to move the tuning cursor to VLOC Window. Then, use the small and large left knobs to select the desired frequency. The COM Flip-flop and VLOC Flip-flop keys are used to activate the selected frequency. 4 GNS 430 Quick Reference FREQUENCY SELECTION FREQUENCY SELECTION 1) If the tuning cursor is not currently in the desired window (COM or VLOC), press the small left knob momentarily. Turn the large left knob to select the desired megahertz (MHz) value. For example, the `117' portion of the frequency `117.80'. 2) TO QUICKLY TUNE AND ACTIVATE THE 121.500 EMERGENCY CHANNEL Press and hold the COM Flip-flop Key for approximately two seconds. DATA ENTRY 3) Turn the small left knob to select the desired kilohertz (kHz) value. For example, the `.80' portion of the frequency `117.80'. Data is entered in the GPS Window using the large and small right knobs. The large right knob is used to move the cursor about the page. The small right knob is used to select individual characters for the highlighted cursor location. 4) To activate the selected frequency, press the COM Flip-flop Key for COM frequencies, or the VLOC Flip-flop Key for VLOC frequencies. GNS 430 Quick Reference 5 MAIN PAGE GROUPS MAIN PAGE GROUPS The GNS 430's main pages are divided into 4 separate page groups: NAV, WPT, AUX, and NRST. Each page group is comprised of multiple pages.
