Section 3 W aypoint and Database Information The GNC 250 uses a Jeppesen NavData® card to pr ovide position and facility infor- mation for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs and intersections.
Airport Position Page VOR Position Page W aypoint Menu Page The GNC 250 organizes waypoints into one of five waypoint categories for your convenience. Each waypoint category provides dif ferent types .
After a waypoint category is selected, information for a waypoint may be viewed by entering the identifier or name of the desired waypoint. Airports, VORs and NDBs may be entered by either the identifier , name or the location (city) of the facility .
Once a waypoint category and identifier have been selected, the GNC 250 will provide extensive information thr ough a set of waypoint pages for the selected cate- gory . W e’ll now go through the pages available for each waypoint category in the order they appear on the waypoint menu page: airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and user waypoints.
The GNC 250 features five airport pages: airport identification— allows entry of desired airport by identifier , facility name or city; displays region and/or country of facility .
1 2 3 6 5 4 The airport position page displays the latitude, longitude and elevation of the selected airport, as well as usage or fuel availability , available approaches and airport control/radar capability .
Airport Communications Page for KCL T . Fr equency Page with Sector Restrictions. Airport Communication Page for 3VS. The airport communication page displays the radio fr equencies and usage for the selected airport, as well as sector and altitude restrictions.
The airport runway page displays runway designations, length, surface and lighting for the selected airport, as well as ILS/localizer and/or pilot-controlled light- ing frequencies. T o view the runway page from any of the airport information pages: 1.
VOR Information The GNC 250 features three VOR waypoint pages: VOR identification— allows entry of desired VOR by identifier , facility name or city; displays region and/or country of facility .
NDB Information The GNC 250 also uses identification, position and comments pages for NDB information. The NDB waypoint pages are used in the same manner as VOR pages: NDB information is accessed by entering the desired facility’ s identifier , city or name (see page 35) on the NDB identification page.
Intersection Information The last database waypoint category available is intersections. T wo intersection pages are available: intersection position and intersection comments. Intersections may be entered by identifier only (not city or name) on either intersection page.
User W aypoint Infor mation In addition to the airport, VOR, NDB and intersection waypoints contained in your NavData® car d, the GNC 250 allows you to store up to 1,000 user -defined waypoints.
If the waypoint identifier entered does not exist in the database, you will be prompted to select a method to enter the new waypoint’ s position into the database. If the waypoint exists (you’re just reviewing or editing a user waypoint), skip step 4 and move on to the next set of instructions.
T o enter/edit a user waypoint position from a r eference waypoint: 1. Use K and O to enter the reference waypoint’ s identifier . 2. Press E . The waypoint’ s position will appear . 3. Use K and O to enter the bearing from the reference waypoint.
The GNC 250’ s AutoStore TM function provides another method of cr eating user waypoints. AutoStore is used to instantly capture your pr esent position as a user way- point with a touch of a button and add the new waypoint to the end of a specified route if desir ed.
The second page available from the GNC 250’ s WPT key is the proximity way- points page . This page allows you to define an alarm circle ar ound a selected waypoint and is useful in defining alarm circles ar ound towers or obstructions. Up to nine prox- imity waypoints can be entered, with an alarm radius of up to 99.
The third page available fr om the GNC 250’ s WPT key is the user waypoint list , which can be used to quickly scan, review , rename or delete user waypoints. T o display the user waypoint list: 1. Press W and use O to display the user waypoint list.
The last page available through the GNC 250’ s WPT key is the waypoint com- ments page , which lists all waypoints that have a user comment. User comments may be added to 250 waypoints stored in the user or NavData ® database, and allow you to note two lines of special information concerning a particular waypoint.
The GNC 250’ s extensive waypoint database makes it possible for several way- points to share the same identifier . T o ensure that you are selecting the waypoint desired, the GNC 250 will always of fer the waypoint confir mation page (which shows the waypoint’ s position) when an identifier is entered for a particular function.
Because the GNC 250 relies on a NavData car d for most waypoint information, there may be instances when waypoint information is not available for use. Locked waypoints exist when a waypoint contained in a route or used as a pr oximity way- point is not contained on the NavData card, or no car d is inserted in the unit.
The GNC 250’ s NRST key pr ovides detailed information on the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and user waypoints within 200 nm of your current position. In addition, it will display the two nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) points of commu- nication and alert you to any Special Use Airspace (SUA) you may be in or near .
The next page available under the GNC 250’ s NRST key is the SUA alert page . The SUA alert page will alert you with up to nine controlled or r estricted airspaces near or in your flight path, accor.
The SUA alert page contains the following information: The ‘SUA number’ field displays which SUA you ar e viewing (you may be alerted with up to nine SUAs). SUAs are ranked with ‘sua1’ being the highest priority , and ‘sua9’ being the lowest priority fr om your current position.
The following SUA types can appear in the SUA type field: Message Airspace T ype alrt - Alert caut - Caution cl B - Class B cl C - Class C cta - ICAO Contr ol Area dngr - Danger moa - Military Operati.
All SUA alert messages except for prohibited ar eas may be tur ned on or off through the GNC 250’ s unit settings options, found under the MSG key (see page 77). Alerts for prohibited ar eas will always be displayed, regardless of unit settings or operating mode.
Section 5 Dir ect-to & R out e Navigation One of the many benefits of GPS navigation is the ability to fly directly to a way- point or fly a chain of waypoints without using ground-based navigation aids.
The GNC 250’ s direct-to function provides a quick method of setting a course to a destination waypoint. Once a direct-to destination is activated, the GNC 250 will establish a point-to-point route .
Whenever you perform a direct-to, the GNC 250 will set a point-to-point great circle course to your destination. Y ou can also manually define the magnetic course to your destination with the GNC 250’ s course select feature.
2 1 4 5 3 The GNC 250 lets you create up to 20 r outes (numbered 0 through 19), with up to 31 waypoints each. Routes are created, copied and edited thr ough the R key , which features two r oute pages selectable from the GNC 250’ s outer knob: the active route page and the route catalog page .
The route action field , located at the top right of the page, is used to select the desir ed route operation. The following functions ar e available: • Activate - activate the route for navigation .
T o delete a waypoint: 1. Rotate O to highlight the waypoint you wish to delete. 2. Press to remove the name, then press E to delete. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to delete additional waypoints, or press C to finish. T o delete an entire r oute: 1. Use K to display the route number you would like to delete (route 0 for the active route).
The route action field also featur es a copy function that permits you to copy any route to another open storage r oute. The copy function can be used to save the con- tents of the active route (r oute 0) to an open storage route. T o copy a r oute: 1.
The GNC 250’ s search and rescue function pr ovides navigation guidance for search and r escue operations, navigating in a ladder patter n to maximize coverage and efficiency . This is done in reference to two waypoints called ‘anchor waypoints’.
During route navigation, it is sometimes desirable to navigate a specified distance away from the ‘active leg’ to help avoid certain airspaces or r egions. The GNC 250’ s parallel track feature will automatically guide you along a selected offset from the active leg.
Flying and Modifying the Active Route Once a route has been cr eated and activated, the GNC 250 will provide navigation to each route waypoint thr ough the active route and CDI pages. Fr om the active route page, you may also create and modify the active r oute.
The leg field can be selected to display cumulative distance or the distance for each route leg. If cumulative is selected, the first leg’ s distance will be displayed. The second leg will represent the first leg’ s distance plus the second leg, and so on.
T o delete a waypoint fr om the active route: 1. Press C twice, if necessary , to activate the cursor . 2. Use O to highlight the waypoint you would like to delete from the active route. 3. Press , followed by E . The next route waypoint (if available) will move up to take the position of the deleted waypoint.
T o ‘hold’ on the active-to waypoint: 1. Press D . The direct-to confirmation page will appear . 2. Rotate O to highlight the waypoint sequencing field, and rotate K to select ‘hold’. 3. Press E . The cursor will advance to the course select field where you may manually enter the desired course to the ‘hold’ waypoint.
Section 6 Messages and Unit Settings The GNC 250’ s MSG key provides access to system messages and allows you to cus- tomize your GPSCOM to your own preferences thr ough a settings submenu. Whenever the GNC 250 needs to alert you to a navigation, communication or system message, the annunciator light next to the M key will flash.
