INTRODUCTION
The navigation system includes those units and components which provide the
following data to the flight crew:
• Position Systems – Dual VHF navigation systems (providing VOR, LOC, GS and
MKR signals), FMS, ADF, DME and ATC transponder systems
• Independent Position Systems – Weather radar, TCAS
The navigation receivers are tuned by the Radio Management Units (RMU) and
navigation data is displayed on the PFDs and MFDs.
MFD control panels (located on the pedestal) permit control over MFD format. PFD
control panels (located on the glareshield) permits control over navigation source and
bearing source display.
The partial compass rose on the PFDs echoes the MFD bearing information for the
navigation aid selected on the PFD control panel and tuned by the RMUs.
VOR, DME, ADF and MKR audio selection and monitoring is provided at the audio
control panels (located on the pedestal).

GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS)


The GPS provides navigation data to FMS and EGPWS. The GPS calculates the:
• Latitude
• Longitude
• Altitude
• Accurate time
• North/South velocity
• East/West velocity
• Track angle
• Autonomous integrity limit
• Satellite position
• GNSSU status
The Global Navigation System Sensor Unit (GNSSU), is a GPS receiver that receives
satellite signals from the NAVSTAR GPS satellite constellation (21 operational
satellites and 3 active spares), and uses the satellite data to compute the airplane
position. GPS has an accuracy of 100 meters in 95% of the position fixes.

The GNSSU has a Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor (RAIM) function. The
RAIM monitors the status of the satellites that are used for calculations. The output of
the RAIM function is an estimate of GPS position error. The RAIM value is sent to the
FMS and the FMS uses this data to determine if it can use the GPS for navigation.

MODES OF OPERATION
The GNSSU has seven operational modes:

Power-On

Self-Test Fault

Aided

GX_16_005
Initialization

Altitude Aiding

Acquisition

Nav

• Self-Test Mode – The GNSSU is in the self-test mode for approximately 5


seconds. When the self-test mode is complete, the GNSSU enters the initialization
mode
• Initialization Mode – The FMS provides the GNSSU with initial position. It is in
this mode for only a fraction of a second. When the hardware is initialized, the
GNSSU enters the acquisition mode
• Acquisition Mode – The GNSSU enters the acquisition mode to acquire satellites
(minimum 4), or from other modes (NAV or Aided), when it does not have
sufficient satellite and/or aiding data to remain in either the NAV mode or the
Aided mode. With initialization and almanac data available, the time to first fix
(TTFF) of a satellite is less than 75 seconds. Without valid initial data, the GNSSU
performs a search-the-skies acquisition and the TTFF of a satellite is less than
10 minutes. From the acquisition mode, the GNSSU enters the NAV mode

For Training Purposes Only 16-5


Sept 04
NAVIGATION
PILOT TRAINING GUIDE

• Navigation (NAV) Mode – The GNSSU enters the NAV mode when it has
computed a navigation solution that provides position, velocity, and time
measurements. The GNSSU has acquired at least four satellites. The GNSSU
sends GPS position data to the FMS. From the NAV mode the GNSSU enters the
acquisition mode or aided mode
• Aided Mode – The GNSSU enters the aided mode when there is insufficient
satellite and/or altitude information, but external-aided data (inertial velocities
from the FMS) is available to continue to update the NAV filter. While in this
mode, the GNSSU provides valid time outputs. From this mode, the GNSSU
enters the NAV or acquisition mode. It will stay in this mode for a maximum of 5
minutes
• Altitude Aiding Mode – The GNSSU enters the altitude aiding mode if satellite
measurements (less than 4) are not sufficient to maintain integrity or remain in the
NAV mode, yet are sufficient when altitude information is available. This mode
uses altitude data from the ADC to aid the navigation solution and integrity
monitoring during extended periods of insufficient satellite coverage and
geometry. When the calibrated pressure altitude deviation estimate is out of limits,
it reverts to the aided mode. From this mode, the GNSSU enters the NAV or aided
modes
• Fault Mode – The GNSSU enters the fault mode when any faults in the GNSSU is
detected. This mode supersedes all other modes. Any fault will be reported on the
FMS CDU. The FMS MSG indicator will illuminate and GPS 1 (2) FAILED
message will appear in the FMS scratchpad

INERTIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM


The inertial sensors consist of three ring laser gyros and three accelerometers. The
accelerometers measure linear motion along the longitudinal, lateral and vertical axis.
The ring laser gyros measure angular motion about the longitudinal, lateral and
vertical axis.
The Inertial Reference System (IRS) provides attitude, directional, position and 3-axis
rate/accelerometer data to the following airplane systems:
• PFDs and MFDs
• Weather radar system
• AFCS
• EGPWS
• TCAS
• Stall protection system
• Fuel system
• Flight data recorder
• Air data computer
• FMS
Each IRS computer (IRS 1, IRS 2, IRS 3) receives true airspeed and altitude from the
applicable air data system. In the event of a failure of the air data input, the backup
input should be manually selected using the reversion control panel.
The IRS mode select panel, located on the pedestal, is used to initialize the IRS and to
select NAV or ATT modes.

The IRS requires that the initial position be entered from either flight management
system (FMS) control display unit (CDU) via the POS INIT page.

NOTE
Aircraft must be stationary during the alignment. If the aircraft is
moved, the mode select switch must be set to OFF for a
minimum of three seconds before the align mode can be
reestablished.

Align downmode is possible, once the IRS is in navigation mode, by selecting the
NAV/ATT switch from NAV to ALN for a minimum of three seconds until ATT FAIL
appears and back to NAV. Velocity errors are corrected and tilt errors are removed to
correct the pitch and roll angles. The total rapid realignment time is 30 seconds.
Present position is optional to be reentered.
The reversion control panel, located on the pedestal, is used for pilot reversion of the

The reversionary attitude mode, which provides attitude, heading, rate and
acceleration data, but not position data, may be selected when navigation mode is not
available. This condition may occur in the air, following a power interrupt or transient
system fault. Attitude alignment takes 1 minute from power off to ATT mode or 34
seconds from NAV to ATT mode, provided the airplane is stationary on the ground or
in straight and level flight. If excessive motion is detected, the attitude alignment is
run for an additional 20 seconds. Once attitude alignment is complete, heading is
entered from the FMS. Heading entries may be made, while the IRS is in the attitude
mode, to correct for heading drift.

CAUTION
During flight, navigation reference is lost if the MSU mode
select switch is set away from NAV.

NOTE
IRS will not restart or realign on airplane battery bus power. If
airplane primary power is lost, IRS can continue to operate on
airplane direct battery bus power.

NOTE
Operating techniques to improve radar life:

1. The best way for an operator to improve radar life is to use it


only when it is needed. For example, it is not needed:
- During flights in VFR conditions.
- On a long flight, if the radar is needed for departure and no
enroute weather is expected, turn the radar off in cruise. It
can be turned back on if needed.
A good philosophy for radar operation during VFR conditions
is to operate the radar for half an hour or an hour at the start of
each flight day, and then turn it off for the rest of the day. This

16-28 For Training Purposes Only


Sept 04
NAVIGATION
PILOT TRAINING GUIDE

will give the crew confidence that the radar is working and will
drive off any condensation.
2. There is no cause for concern that the radar may be harmed if
it has become cold-soaked at altitude during a flight and then
is turned on if needed, or that it will not turn on after a cold
soak. There is also no reason to worry that, if the radar is not
on during landing, the elevation drive mechanism could be
damaged by the slight ‘bump’ at touchdown.
3. For 10 kilowatt magnetrons, extended operation (several
hours at a time) in standby may actually be worse than
transmitting.
4. Despite point 3, ramp operations shall be limited to STBY.

TILT
The TILT rotary knob is used to manually select the tilt angle of the antenna.
Clockwise rotation of knob tilts the antenna upward to + 15° and counterclockwise
rotation of knob tilts antenna downward to - 15°. When the TILT knob is pulled out to
the Altitude Compensated Tilt position (Pull ACT), the antenna tilt is automatically
adjusted with regard to selected range and barometric altitude. The tilt control can fine
tune the tilt setting by ± 2°. When in ACT, an A symbol will appear following the
digital tilt readout.

TILT MANAGEMENT
The pilot can use tilt management techniques to minimize ground clutter when
viewing weather targets.
Assume the aircraft is flying over relatively smooth terrain that is equivalent to sea
level in altitude. The pilot must make adjustments for the effects of mountainous
terrain.

The following figure helps to visualize the relationship between tilt angle, flight

The following figure gives the approximate tilt settings at which ground targets begin
to be displayed on the image periphery for an 18-inch radiator. The range at which
ground targets can be observed is affected by the curvature of the earth, the distance
from the aircraft to the horizon, and altitude above the ground. As the tilt control is
rotated downward, ground targets first appear on the display at less than maximum
range.
To find the ideal tilt angle after the aircraft is airborne, adjust the TILT control so that
groundclutter does not interfere with viewing of weather targets. Usually, this can be
done by tilting the antenna downward in 1° increments until ground targets begin to
appear at the display periphery. Ground returns can be distinguished from strong storm
cells by watching for closer ground targets with each small downward increment of
tilt. The more the downward tilt, the closer the ground targets that are displayed.
When ground targets are displayed, move the tilt angle upward in 1° increments until
the ground targets begin to disappear. Proper tilt adjustment is a pilot judgment, but
typically the best tilt angle lies where ground targets are barely visible or just off the
radar image.
The figure gives the approximate tilt settings required for different altitudes and
ranges. If the altitude changes or a different range is selected, adjust the tilt control as
required to minimize ground returns.

TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS)


The TCAS is an airborne system that interrogates ATC transponders in nearby
airplanes to identify and display potential and predicted collision threats, within 700
feet of closest point of approach. TCAS monitors a radius of up to 120 nautical miles
(optional above 40 miles) about the airplane, computes range, bearing and closure rate
of up to 12 other transponder equipped airplanes relative to the “own” airplane. TCAS
and ATC transponder modes are set on the RMUs.
Active (interrogated) range is possible up to 70 to 100 miles depending on
atmospheric conditions. Passive range to a distance of 120 miles is possible if the
intruder aircraft has TCAS 2000 change 7 and a GPS installed.
The system provides appropriate aural and visual cues to the flight crew when TCAS
computer analysis of an airplane signal predicts a penetration of TCAS protected
airspace.

TARGET/THREAT ADVISORIES
The system provides four types of advisories:
• Resolution Advisory – Resolution advisories (RA) symbols (red square) appear on
the MFD, when target(s) is predicted to penetrate the protected vertical envelope in
less than 30 seconds. An ADI pitch target is displayed during an RA. The red
avoidance zone indicates pitch targets that should be avoided and the green
rectangle is the fly-to-zone. An RA can be issued if the intruder is mode C or mode
S equipped. If the threat aircraft is itself equipped with mode S, a coordination
procedure is performed before displaying it to the flight crew. This procedure
assures that the advisories in each aircraft are compatible
• Traffic Advisory – Traffic advisories (TA) symbols (amber circle) appear on the
MFD, when target(s) is projected to converge with the TCAS equipped airplane in
less than 45 seconds, with the closest point of approach being inside a minimum
vertical separation envelope. Traffic advisories are generated for aircraft with
operative mode S, mode C, or mode A transponders. The relative bearing and
range of the intruder are displayed
• Proximity Traffic – Proximity Traffic (PT) symbols (cyan diamond) appear on the
MFD when non-threat airplane(s) which have a flightpath that approaches the
collision area. The PT symbol is displayed if the target does not qualify for a TA
but is currently within 6.5 NM and 1200 feet of the TCAS airplane
• Other Traffic – Other Traffic (OT) symbols (empty cyan diamond) appear on the
MFD to indicate targets outside of the 1200-foot relative altitude region of PT, up
to the TCAS range set by the pilot, and a relative altitude difference of 2,700 feet
The TCAS system provides no indication of traffic conflicts if the intruder airplane is
without an operative transponder.

TCAS MODES
The following TCAS modes are selectable on the RMU:
• TA/RA Mode – Normal operation mode providing full TCAS coverage. TCAS
tracks up to 12 airplanes in the surrounding airspace and generates TAs and RAs as
required
• TA ONLY Mode – TCAS tracks all PT airplanes and generates TAs, no RAs.
Automatically selected when airplane is flying under 1100 feet AGL climbing and
900 AGL descending
• TEST Mode – Pressing the TST button on the RMU, will start a self-test program
that will verify proper operation of the TA and RA displays and of the aural
advisories. The TEST mode does not affect normal TCAS operation. Should an
actual TA or RA occur during TEST sequence, the test is automatically terminated
and the advisory is announced and displayed

ATC/TCAS MODE SELECT


ATC/TCAS operations are controlled by the adjacent line keys and the tuning knobs. If
the transponder code is changed on one RMU, it will also change on the other RMU.

ENHANCED GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM (EGPWS)


The primary purpose of the EGPWS is to provide alerts and warnings to avoid
controlled flight into terrain, and to provide detected windshear warning.
The EGPWS is categorized into 7 modes. The basic GPWS function is comprised of
modes 1 through 6. The windshear function and the enhanced feature, terrain
awareness alerting and display function is mode 7. Mode 7 is what promotes a basic
GPWS to EGPWS.
The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Computer (EGPWC) processes all inputs
and provides all aural and visual alerts and warnings. The following priority, from
highest to lowest, is used to determine which annunciation is displayed if more than
one is active:

WIND
SHEAR
PULL
UP
GND
PROX
GX_16_056

WIND
SHEAR

An alert annunciation indicates potential for impact with terrain. A warning


annunciation indicates a prediction for impact with terrain. All annunciations are
displayed on pilot’s and copilot’s PFDs.
The MFD control panel provides for the selection of the Terrain display on the
respective MFD.

EGPWS MODES
EGPWS modes are as follows:

Mode 1 – Excessive Descent Rate


Mode 1 provides aural and visual alerts and warnings in the event that the EGPWC
determines that the rate of descent is excessive with respect to airplane altitude. The
mode is active when the airplane is less than 2500 feet AGL. Mode 1 uses radio
altitude and vertical speed inputs.
The annunciation envelope consists of two areas: alert and warning.
• Penetration of the alert area will annunciate a GND PROX alert on the PFD and
generate an aural “SINKRATE SINKRATE”. The aural alert will be annunciated
once, and will be repeated only if condition degrades by more than 20% based on
computed time to impact. The visual alert will remain until the condition is
rectified
• Penetration of the warning area will annunciate a EGPWS alert on the PFD and
generate an aural “WHOOP, WHOOP, PULL UP” warning. The aural warning is
annunciated continuously until the condition is rectified

Mode 2 – Excessive Terrain Closure Rate


Mode 2 provides alerts and warnings when the EGPWC detects that the closure rate
between the airplane and terrain is excessive. The airplane need not be in descent,
rising terrain may be encountered in level flight, or the terrain may be rising at a rate
greater than the airplane rate of climb. Mode 2 uses radio altitude and vertical speed
inputs.
Mode 2 has two submodes: Mode 2A and Mode 2B.
• Mode 2A – Activated when flaps are not in the landing position. Penetration of the
alert area will annunciate a GND PROX on the PFD and generate an aural
“TERRAIN, TERRAIN”. The aural is annunciated once and the visual alert will
remain until the condition is rectified. Penetration of the warning area will
annunciate a PULL UP alert on the PFD and generate an aural “PULL UP”
warning. The aural and visual warnings are annunciated continuously until the

Mode 3 – Altitude Loss After Takeoff


Mode 3 provides warnings when the EGPWC detects that a significant amount of
altitude is lost immediately after takeoff or during a go-around. Mode 3 uses radio
altitude, barometric altitude and altitude rate.
If a descent is initiated following takeoff or go-around, the EGPWC stores the altitude
value at which the descent began, and compares successive altitude data to the stored
value. Activation of the warning is induced when the minimum terrain clearance, as a
function of altitude lost, is exceeded.
Penetration of the alert area will annunciate a GND PROX alert on the PFD and
generate an aural “DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK” warning. The aural warning is
annunciated only once, unless the altitude value degrades by more than 20% from the
initially stored value, and again at each additional 20% degradation from the initially
stored value. This condition will remain until the airplane regains the initial altitude
value. Mode 3 is inhibited for radio altitude values in excess of 1500 feet.

Mode 4 – Unsafe Terrain Clearance


Mode 4 provides alerts and warnings for insufficient terrain clearance based on
airplane phase of flight and airspeed. Mode 4 requires radio altitude, computed
airspeed, gear position and flap position inputs. The alert and warning envelopes are
based on minimum allowable terrain clearance as a function of computed airspeed.
Mode 4 is divided into 3 submodes: Mode 4A, Mode 4B and Mode 4C.
• Mode 4A – Active when the airplane is in cruise or approach phase of flight, and
the landing gear is not in the landing position. The alert envelope for Mode 4A
begins at 30 feet AGL and extends vertically to an altitude of 500 feet AGL.
Penetration of the alert area, above 190 knots, the upper boundary increases with
airspeed to a maximum of 1000 feet radio altitude at 250 knots or more, and will
annunciate a GND PROX message and generate a continuous aural “TOO LOW

Mode 5 – Descent Below Glideslope


Mode 5 provides alert and warnings when the airplane descends below the glideslope
on an ILS approach. The alerts and warnings are annunciated in two distinct tones,
depending on the position of the airplane on the glideslope.
When the airplane descends more than 1.3 dots (but not more than 2 dots) below the
glideslope, a soft (6 dB) aural “GLIDESLOPE” is generated. If the airplane continues
to descend and deviates more than 2 dots below the glideslope, an aural
“GLIDESLOPE” warning is generated at the same volume level as all other warnings.
A GND PROX message is annunciated on the PFD. The aural and visual alerts and
warnings are continuously annunciated until the airplane exits the alert envelope.

Mode 6 – Callouts
Mode 6 provides the following advisory alerts: transition through approach
minimums, altitude callouts on approach and excessive bank angles.
• Transition through the preset approach minimums, generates an aural
“MINIMUMS, MINIMUMS” warning. The warning function is enabled between
1000 feet and 10 feet radio altitude for DH minimums. The landing gear must be
down for activation of the warning
• An altitude callout function generates annunciation for descent below
predetermined altitudes. The aural “ONE HUNDRED”, “FIFTY” and “THIRTY”
indicates the transition through 100, 50 and 30 feet AGL. The last annunciated or
transition altitude is memorized. This will prevent the repeat annunciation of a
callout should the airplane transition through said altitudes again. The memory is
cleared and reset, once the airplane climbs to an altitude greater than 1000 feet, or
in the event a transition occurs from approach mode to takeoff mode.
• A “smart altitude callout” provides an aural “FIVE HUNDRED” at 500 feet radio
altitude during a nonprecision approach. The callout may be generated during a
precision approach if the airplane flightpath deviates greater than + 2 dots of either
the glideslope or localizer. The callout is also generated during a back course
approach. Note that these callouts can be programmed as required

• The excessive bank angle alert is a function of the roll angle with respect to
altitude above ground level. The alert envelope varies linearly from a 10° bank at
30 feet AGL and to 40° of bank at 150 feet AGL, to 55° of bank at 2450 feet AGL.
This will generate an aural “BANK ANGLE, BANK ANGLE”. The alert is
annunciated once, and will repeat if the bank angle increases by 20%. The alert
will be annunciated continuously if the bank angle is increased to 55°. The alert
will be annunciated until the bank angle is decreased below said value

Mode 7 – Windshear Warning


Mode 7 provides alerts and warnings in the event that significant windshear is detected
by the EGPWC. Mode 7 is active during takeoff and landing phases of flight only,
between 10 and 1500 feet AGL. There are two types of windshear warnings:
increasing performance (updraft/headwind) and decreasing performance (down draft/
tailwind).
• For an increasing performance shear (updraft/headwind), an amber increasing
performance shear WINDSHEAR message is annunciated on the PFD and flashes
for 5 seconds, then remains steady
• For a decreasing performance shear (downdraft/tailwind), a decreasing
performance shear WINDSHEAR message in red is annunciated on the PFD and
flashes for 5 seconds, then remains steady, and an aural siren and “WINDSHEAR,
WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR” warning are activated.

TERRAIN AWARENESS ALERTING


The terrain alerting function computes minimum terrain clearance envelopes for areas
along the flightpath of the airplane. The function uses accurate position information
from the GPS and a terrain database containing worldwide topographical relief
information in grid format.
The terrain display is available by pressing TERR button on the MFD control panel.
Terrain within 2000 feet of the airplane altitude is displayed. Terrain will
automatically pop up, in MAP mode, on MFD at a 10 NM range, if there is a terrain
threat caution at 60 seconds from impact.
When switching between “WX” and “TERR” on the MFD, the range remains the
same. However, when switching from “TERR” to “WX”, the range will move in steps
until it reaches the last range displayed when “WX” was active.

TERRAIN CLEARANCE FLOOR (TCF)


The TCF function supplements the EGPWS function by providing an additional
terrain clearance alert envelope around airports. The TCF criteria is used to determine
alert and warning envelopes.
TCF creates an increasing terrain clearance envelope around the intended airport
runway directly related to the distance from the runway. TCF alerts are based on
current airplane location, nearest runway center point position and radio altitude,
along with an integral database that includes all worldwide, hard-surfaced runways
greater than 3500 feet in length.
Penetration of the alert envelope will generate an aural “TOO LOW TERRAIN” and a
GND PROX message is displayed on the PFD. The aural alert is repeated twice, and
again thereafter if the radio altitude value decreases by more than 20% from the
altitude at which the initial warning was issued. The EGPWS message remains
displayed until the airplane exits the alert envelope.

The annunciators are:


• DSPLY (Display) – is lit when the CDU displays:
• A flight plan page other than the first page of the active flight plan
• A stored flight plan page
• Any of the review pages for SIDs and STARs approaches
• A change active leg message
• An intercept waypoint is being defined on the active leg
• DR (Dead Reckoning) – is lit when operating in the DR mode for longer than 2
minutes. The DR mode is defined as the loss of radio updating and all other
position sensors (IRS and GPS)
• DGRAD (Degraded) – is lit when the FMS cannot guarantee the position accuracy
for the present phase of flight due to sensor availability. If the DR annunciator is lit
when DGRAD is lit, DGRAD annunciator goes out. The annunciator is lit if both
of the following conditions are valid:
• The sensors being used to navigate are not approved for the current phase of
flight
• The FMS is the selected navigation source on EFIS
• MSG (Message) – is lit when a message is displayed in the scratchpad. Messages
are displayed in the CDU scratchpad to inform or alert the pilot as to the system
status. The annunciator goes out after the message(s) has been cleared from the
scratchpad. For a list of FMS messages, refer to the Flight Management System
Pilot’s Guide. Messages are divided into two groups:
• Advisory messages – Are usually the result of a pilot action on the CDU
INVALID ENTRY

• Alerting messages – Alert the pilot to FMS status

first character. When any entry beginning with an * or a # is in the scratchpad,
pushing the CLR key deletes the entire entry
• When an alphanumeric entry is made in the scratchpad, one character is cleared
from the scratchpad (from right to left) each time the CLR key is pushed. If the
CLR key is held down after the first character is cleared, other characters are
cleared, one at a time, until the key is released

Delete (DEL) Key


The DEL key is used to delete items from the FMS. When the DEL key is pushed,
DELETE is displayed in the scratchpad. The DEL key can be line selected to delete
waypoints or other items displayed in the CDU data fields. When there is a message
displayed, the delete function is inhibited. DEL is also used to return default values
after entries have been made. The DEL key may also be used to clear an entire
alphanumeric entry in the scratchpad by selecting "–" followed by DEL.

NAV DATA BASE VERIFICATION


On initial power up the FMS will display the NAV IDENT page. Verification of all
