LEFT BLANK vi GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING DO NOT USE TERRAIN AVOIDANCE DISPLAYS AS THE SOLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR MAINTAINING SEPARATION FROM TERRAIN AND OBSTACLES. GARMIN OBTAINS TERRAIN AND OBSTACLE DATA FROM THIRD PARTY SOURCES AND CANNOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION. WARNING DO NOT RELY SOLELY UPON TERRAIN PROXIMITY DATA FOR TERRAIN AVOIDANCE. TERRAIN PROXIMITY IS NOT A CERTIFIED TERRAIN AWARENESS SYSTEM. IT IS AN AID TO SITUATIONAL AWARENESS ONLY. USING TERRAIN PROXIMITY DATA DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS RELIEVE THE PILOTS RESPONSIBILITY TO SEE AND AVOID TERRAIN OR OBSTACLES. WARNING ALWAYS REFER TO CURRENT AERONAUTICAL CHARTS AND NOTAMS FOR VERIFICATION OF DISPLAYED AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION. DISPLAYED AERONAUTICAL DATA MAY NOT INCORPORATE THE LATEST NOTAM INFORMATION. WARNING NEVER USE GPS ALTITUDE FOR VERTICAL NAVIGATION. THE ALTITUDE CALCULATED BY GPS RECEIVERS IS GEOMETRIC HEIGHT ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL AND COULD VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE ALTITUDE DISPLAYED BY PRESSURE ALTIMETERS (E.G., THE OUTPUT FROM THE GDC 74A/B AIR DATA COMPUTER) OR OTHER ALTIMETERS IN THE AIRCRAFT. ALWAYS REFER TO THE PRESSURE ALTIMETERS IN THE AIRCRAFT FOR CURRENT PRESSURE ALTITUDE. WARNING NEVER USE EXPIRED DATABASES. UPDATE DATABASES REGULARLY TO ENSURE CURRENCY. USE OUT OF DATE DATABASE INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK. WARNING NEVER USE BASEMAP INFORMATION (LAND AND WATER DATA) AS THE SOLE MEANS OF NAVIGATION. BASEMAP DATA IS INTENDED ONLY TO SUPPLEMENT OTHER APPROVED NAVIGATION DATA SOURCES AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY AN AID TO ENHANCE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. WARNING DO NOT RELY SOLELY UPON THE DISPLAY OF TRAFFIC INFORMATION TO ACCURATELY DEPICT ALL OF THE TRAFFIC WITHIN RANGE OF THE AIRCRAFT. DUE TO LACK OF EQUIPMENT, POOR SIGNAL RECEPTION, AND/OR INACCURATE INFORMATION FROM AIRCRAFT OR GROUND STATIONS, TRAFFIC MAY BE PRESENT THAT IS NOT REPRESENTED ON THE DISPLAY. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide vii Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING NEVER USE DATALINK WEATHER INFORMATION FOR MANEUVERING IN, NEAR, OR AROUND AREAS OF HAZARDOUS WEATHER. INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN DATALINK WEATHER PRODUCTS MAY NOT ACCURATELY DEPICT CURRENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. WARNING DO NOT USE THE INDICATED DATALINK WEATHER PRODUCT AGE TO DETERMINE THE AGE OF THE WEATHER INFORMATION SHOWN BY THE DATALINK WEATHER PRODUCT. DUE TO TIME DELAYS INHERENT IN GATHERING AND PROCESSING WEATHER DATA FOR DATALINK TRANSMISSION, THE WEATHER INFORMATION SHOWN BY THE DATALINK WEATHER PRODUCT MAY BE OLDER THAN THE INDICATED WEATHER PRODUCT AGE. WARNING ALWAYS REFER TO CURRENT AERONAUTICAL CHARTS FOR APPROPRIATE MINIMUM CLEARANCE ALTITUDES. THE DISPLAYED MSAs ARE ONLY ADVISORY IN NATURE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS THE SOLE SOURCE OF OBSTACLE AND TERRAIN AVOIDANCE INFORMATION. WARNING DO NOT USE GPS TO NAVIGATE TO ANY ACTIVE WAYPOINT IDENTIFIED AS A NON WGS84 WPT BY A SYSTEM MESSAGE. NON WGS84 WPT WAYPOINTS ARE DERIVED FROM AN UNKNOWN MAP REFERENCE DATUM THAT MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE MAP REFERENCE DATUM USED BY GPS (KNOWN AS WGS84) AND MAY BE POSITIONED IN ERROR AS DISPLAYED. WARNING DO NOT RELY SOLELY UPON THE DISPLAY OF TRAFFIC INFORMATION FOR COLLISION AVOIDANCE MANEUVERING. THE TRAFFIC DISPLAY DOES NOT PROVIDE COLLISION AVOIDANCE RESOLUTION ADVISORIES AND DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS RELIEVE THE PILOTS RESPONSIBILITY TO SEE AND AVOID OTHER AIRCRAFT. WARNING DO NOT RELY ON THE ACCURACY OF ATTITUDE AND HEADING INDICATIONS IN GEOGRAPHIC AREAS WHERE VARIATION IN THE EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD EXISTS. THIS INCLUDES: NORTH OF 72 NORTH LATITUDE AT ALL LONGITUDES; SOUTH OF 70 SOUTH LATITUDE AT ALL LONGITUDES; NORTH OF 65 NORTH LATITUDE BETWEEN LONGITUDE 75 W. AND 120 W. (NORTHERN CANADA); NORTH OF 70 NORTH LATITUDE BETWEEN LONGITUDE 70 W. AND 128 W. (NORTHERN CANADA); NORTH OF 70 NORTH LATITUDE BETWEEN LONGITUDE 85 E. AND 114 E. (NORTHERN RUSSIA); SOUTH OF 55 SOUTH LATITUDE BETWEEN LONGITUDE 120 E. AND 165 E.
(REGION SOUTH OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND). viii GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING DO NOT RELY SOLELY UPON DATALINK SERVICES TO PROVIDE TFR INFORMATION. ALWAYS CONFIRM TFR INFORMATION THROUGH OFFICIAL SOURCES SUCH AS FLIGHT SERVICE STATIONS OR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL. WARNING DO NOT LEARN OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES IN THE AIR. FOR SAFETY REASONS, THOROUGHLY PRACTICE BASIC OPERATION ON THE GROUND BEFORE ACTUAL USE. WARNING REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND ALL ASPECTS OF THIS PILOTS GUIDE. DOING SO REDUCES THE RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. WARNING ALWAYS RESOLVE ANY DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE DISPLAY AND OTHER NAVIGATION SOURCES WHEN THEY OCCUR. DURING FLIGHT OPERATIONS, COMPARE DISPLAY INDICATIONS TO INFORMATION FROM OTHER NAVAIDS, VISUAL SIGHTINGS, CHARTS, AND OTHER AVAILABLE SOURCES BEFORE CONTINUING NAVIGATION. CAUTION DO NOT CLEAN DISPLAY SURFACES WITH ABRASIVE CLOTHS OR CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA. THEY WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. CAUTION ENSURE THAT ANY UNIT REPAIRS ARE MADE BY AN AUTHORIZED GARMIN SERVICE CENTER. UNAUTHORIZED REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID BOTH THE WARRANTY AND AFFECT THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE AIRCRAFT. NOTE All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the system panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current system and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment. NOTE The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVAID. Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide ix Warnings, Cautions, and Notes NOTE This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition. NOTE Use of polarized eye wear may cause the flight displays to appear dim or blank. NOTE This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with Californias Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our website at www.garmin.com/prop65. NOTE Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings, metal structures, or electromagnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result in nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut down, or while taxiing. If one or more of the sensed values are unavailable, the annunciation indicates no comparison is possible. NOTE The system responds to a terminal procedure based on data coded within that procedure in the Navigation Database. Differences in system operation may be observed among similar types of procedures due to differences in the Navigation Database coding specific to each procedure. NOTE Do not use SafeTaxi functions as the basis for ground maneuvering. SafeTaxi functions do not comply with the requirements of AC 120-76C and are not qualified for use as an airport moving map display. SafeTaxi is to be used for orientation purposes only. x GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes NOTE The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the following:
It is the pilots responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System.
Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen that have a Type 2 LOA from the FAA are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs). A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each applicable database and can be viewed at flyGarmin.com by selecting Aviation Database Declarations.
Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may be presented by the system. It is the pilots responsibility to operate in accordance with established AFM(S) and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment. NOTE The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmins database exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at flyGarmin.com by selecting Database Exclusions List. NOTE The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can be viewed at flyGarmin.com by selecting Aviation Database Alerts. NOTE If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support. NOTE Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Visit flyGarmin.com and select Aviation Data Error Report. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide xi Compliance NOTE The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special Procedures.

Set and display the CDI Specify runway criteria Set the date and time Create shortcuts Set the display units Adjust display brightness Other setup options allow you to monitor time in flight and create custom reminder messages. These reside in the system Utilities. 2.14 CDI Scale Set the scale for the course deviation indicator. Scale values represent full scale deflection for the CDI to either side. Options: 0.30 nm 1.00 nm 2.00 nm Auto By default, the scale is set to Auto. At this setting, the CDI scale is set to 2.0 nm during the en route phase of flight. Within 31 NM (terminal area) of your destination airport, the CDI scale linearly ramps down to 1.0 NM over a distance of 1 NM. Likewise, when leaving your departure airport the CDI scale is set to 1.0 NM and gradually ramps up to 2 NM beyond 30 NM (from the departure airport). During GPS approach operations the CDI scale gradually transitions down to an angular CDI scale. At 2.0 NM before the final approach fix (FAF), CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 NM to the angular full scale deflection (typically the angular full-scale deflection is 2.0, but will be as defined for the approach) If a lower CDI scale setting is selected (i.e., 1.0 or 0.3 NM), the higher scale settings are not selected during ANY phase of flight. For example, if 1.0 NM is selected, the unit uses this for en route and terminal phases and ramps down further during an approach. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 2-23 Get Started 2.14.1 Horizontal Alarm Limits Horizontal alarm limits (HAL) follow the selected CDI scale, unless the corresponding flight phase requires a lower alarm limit. For example, the selected scale setting is 1.0 nm, but full-scale deflection during approach still follows the approach scale setting (0.30 nm). FLIGHT PHASE Approach Terminal En Route Oceanic CDI SCALE 0.30 nm or Auto 1.00 nm or Auto 2.00 nm or Auto Auto HORIZONTAL ALARM LIMIT 0.30 nm 1.00 nm 2.00 nm 2.00 nm 2.14.2 CDI On Screen Toggling this setting displays the CDI scale on screen.

The published instrument approach procedures allows precision and non-precision approaches to airports and are directly accessible from the Procedures (PROC) icon. FEATURE REQUIREMENTS Baro-corrected altitude source (automatic sequencing of altitude leg types) In the absence of baro-corrected altitude data, altitude leg types require manual sequencing. FEATURE LIMITATIONS The flight plan allows only one procedure to be loaded at a time. Adding a new procedure overwrites any existing procedure LOAD A PROCEDURE Select the procedure type (departure, arrival, or approach) and then define the criteria for that procedure on the corresponding page. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 3-51 Navigation 3.16 Basic Operations The GPS/GNX guides each leg of the approach, sequencing through each leg, up to the Missed Approach Point (MAP). You can fly published approaches with the full transition using any published feeder route or initial approach fix (IAF), or with a Vectors-to-Final transition. For ILS, VOR, and NDB approaches (and non-precision localizer-based approaches), the moving map shows the surrounding conditions. Phase-of-flight annunciations displays the current mode of flight on the bottom of the screen. For non-GPS approaches, use the appropriate radio navigational aid for primary approach course guidance. Many non-precision approaches have GPS overlays, improving accuracy so approaches do not require overflying a VOR or NDB. Baro-corrected altitude is not required by the GPS/GNX to meet the requirements of TSO-C146e. An optional baro-corrected altitude source is recommended for automatic sequencing of altitude leg types. Procedures are arranged around the existing flight plan in the following order:
Departure, En Route, Arrival, and Approach. Always verify that the transition waypoints between each phase are correct. Departure waypoints insert before the En Route waypoints in the flight plan Arrival waypoints insert between the En Route waypoints and the approach waypoints 3.16.1 GPS Flight Phase Annunciations Phase of flight annunciations are a direct indication of the current CDI behavior for the selected navigation source. Not all annunciations are available for every navigator. Phase of flight annunciations appear in the annunciation bar. Under normal conditions, these annunciations are green. They turn yellow when cautionary conditions exist.

SELECTING AN ARRIVAL APPROACH If using Descent VNAV, verify that the altitudes for the selected procedure match the charted altitudes and are appropriate for the airframe type. 1. Tap PROC > Tap Arrival. 2. Confirm the airport is shown or tap Airport to select an airport. 3. Tap Arrival > select an arrival type > Transition >
select an arrival transition. Tap Runway > select the runway type > Load Arrival. Loading alternate approaches during a missed approach procedure is available. The GPS/GNX retains missed approaches in the flight plan. The SBAS approach uses the Channel ID key to select the channel ID for the current destination. The channel ID for the SBAS approach is available from an approved approach chart. If there are duplicate numbers for a channel, a list is available to select the precise approach. 3-54 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS Navigation 1. Tap PROC > Approach. 2. Confirm the airport is shown or tap Airport to select an airport. 3. On the Approach page, tap Approach > select an approach > Transition > select an approach transition. 4. Tap Channel/ID > add the channel number > Enter. 5. Tap Load Approach > Activate Approach. Tapping Activate Approach makes the active leg Direct-To the selected transition waypoint. For Vector approaches it activates a leg that is an extended final approach course. If the approach is not activated on this page, select Activate on the Procedures page. To insert or remove a hold from the procedure, re-load the procedure or activate it from the PROC-Approach page. The GPS/GNX stores procedure turns as one of the legs of the approach. Roll steering is provided to aircraft with compatible autopilots. The steering provided for the procedure turn does not guarantee that the aircraft will stay within the charted procedure turn boundaries. Make sure the approach is flown within the confines of the charted procedure. After reaching the Missed Approach Point (MAP), the unit continues to guide along an extension of the final course segment (FAF to MAP) until the missed approach procedure is manually initiated (as mentioned previously in reference to the SUSP advisory). If the unit is not configured for a CDI key, then the Activate GPS Missed Approach feature only resumes automatic waypoint sequencing. Switch to GPS navigation by using the external source selection method (typically an EFIS system). SELECTING AN APPROACH APPROACHES WITH PROCEDURE TURNS MISSED APPROACH 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 3-55 Navigation APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS PERFORMING A MISSED APPROACH APPROACH WITH A HOLD Before Reaching a MAP Activating a Missed Approach - Is accomplished on the Flight Plan or Procedures pages. In the Flight Plan page, touching the approach banner displays the Approach Options and Activate Missed Approach feature. Performing a Missed Approach - The GPS/GNX continues to guide along the final approach course after selecting an approach option and automatically sequences the first leg of the missed approach. When the Missed Approach Waypoint Reached pop-up appears, tap Remain Suspended or Activate GPS Missed Approach. When activating an RNAV GPS approach, the option to skip non-required holding patterns during the initial transitions of the approach is available. The Flight Plan Page shows a timer or distance, to fly the outbound portion of a holding pattern. The holding pattern displays on the Map Page and indicate the active leg on the Active Flight Plan pages. As you cross the MAP, a SUSP annunciation appears, indicating the automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A From indication shows on the CDI and Default NAV Page and course guidance along the final approach course continues. To lose extra altitude or speed by going around the holding pattern again, before crossing the holding waypoint the second time, tap SUSP to manually suspend waypoint sequencing. If already passed the waypoint, re-activate the holding pattern. 3-56 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 Navigation APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS The GPS/GNX guides approaches containing DME arcs (left or right relative to the arc). To activate the DME arc leg manually, the aircraft must be near the arc, as shown in the shaded area below. DME ARC APPROACH RADIUS-TO-FIX
(RF) APPROACH VECTORS-
TO-FINAL The GPS/GNX supports RF legs associated with RNAV RNP 1.0 non-AR (Approval Required) approaches. AC 90-101A defines RF leg as A constant radius circular path, around a defined turn center, that starts and terminates at a fix. An RF leg may be published as part of a procedure. Refer to the aircraft AFMS for specific details regarding RF legs for a specific aircraft. Annunciations and indications are identical for DME arcs and RF legs. Unlike DME arcs, RF legs are not based on a VOR. RF legs may have a larger or smaller radius than DME arcs. Selecting Vectors-To-Final (VTF) keeps the CDI needle off-center until the final approach course starts. When the approach activates, the Map Page shows an extension of the final approach course in magenta. As a reminder that the approach was activated with Vectors-to-Final, VTF appears as part of the active leg on the Map page. The flight plan and the final approach course includes all destination waypoints along the final approach course, including locations before the FAF. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 3-57 Navigation APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS I 15NM 1.2NM 1.2NM GPS VLOC ILS APPROACH 2NM GPS VLOC MANUAL FAF ILS approaches have built-in VLOC (VOR/localizer/glideslope) receivers. Prior to reaching the final approach, use the GPS as a guide by selecting the VLOC window and setting the CDI output to VLOC. Automatically set the GPS/GNX to switch the external CDI output from GPS to VLOC when intercepting the final approach course. NOTE: When using the KAP140/KFC225 autopilot, manually enable the outputs, see instructions in Enabling Autopilot Outputs for the King KAP140/KFC225). The GPS/GNX switches to VLOC within 1.2 nm, left or right of the final approach course, after activating the ILS approach and when the correct ILS frequency is in the active VLOC window. The switch ranges from 2 to 15 nm from the FAF. The illustration shows multiple locations along the approach path and the CDI selection
(GPS or VLOC) to expect. In the shaded area, the automatic switch occurs from GPS to VLOC. 3-58 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS Navigation According to the published chart, the GPS/GNX allows for flying LNAV/VNAV, LNAV, LNAV +V, LPV, LP, and LP +V approaches. L/VNAV - Lateral Navigation/Vertical Navigation. RNAV non-precision approach with vertical guidance. Published LNAV/VNAV minimums. LNAV - Lateral Navigation. RNAV non-precision approach.Published LNAV minimums. LNAV + V - Lateral Navigation with Advisory Vertical Guidance. RNAV non-precision LNAV approach with advisory vertical guidance. The glidepath is a light dashed line on the vertical profile (Jeppesen only) with an associated glidepath angle (usually in the 3.00 degree range) to assist in maintaining a constant vertical glidepath, similar to an ILS glideslope. Published LNAV minimums. LPV - Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance
(LPV) approach. RNAV precision approach. Published LPV minimums. Published LPV minimums. LP - Localizer Performance with no vertical guidance. Published LP minimums. LP + V - Localizer Performance with advisory vertical guidance. This advisory guidance follows the same nature as set by the LNAV +V as shown above. Published LP minimums. The LPV approach has localizer performance and advisory vertical guidance. Flying the LPV approach is similar to the standard ILS approach. RNAV APPROACH LPV APPROACH 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 3-59 Navigation APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS 1. Within 31 nm of the destination, the GPS/GNX switches from En Route mode to Terminal mode and the CDI scale transitions from 2 to 1 nm, full-scale deflection. 2. Approaching the IAF, a waypoint message appears on the bottom of the screen. 3. As the IAF distance approaches zero, an Time to Turn advisory message appears and counts down 10 seconds prior to the turn. 4. Approaching the FAF, the GPS/GNX rescales the angle. At 2.0 nm from the FAF, CDI scaling tightens from 1 nm to the approach-defined angular full-scale deflection. 5. Sixty seconds prior to reaching the FAF, the GPS/GNX checks the required Horizontal Alarm Limit (HAL) and Vertical Alarm Limit (VAL) ensuring the GPS position integrity is within approach limits. If the HAL or VAL exceed the limits, the approach downgrades to a non-precision approach indicated by LNAV on the moving map. A downgraded message appears and the glideslope indicator flags, until the message is viewed. Continue the approach using LNAV non-precision minimums (if applicable). If GPS integrity does not meet the non-precision HAL limits, the GPS/GNX messages to abort the approach. After acknowledging the message, the unit reverts to terminal limits of 1 nm to support navigation to the missed approach. After the aircraft has passed the FAF, a loss of WAAS integrity causes the approach to abort instead of downgrade. PERFORMING A LPV APPROACH 6. Capture the glideslope (the same as for an ILS glideslope). 7. When crossing the FAF, the waypoint sequences to the MAP (e.g., RW31, the runway threshold). With the needle on the external CDI (or HSI) centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums published on the approach plate. 8. In the Map Page, the final course segment shows in magenta as the active leg of the flight plan. 9. Approaching the MAP, an Arriving at Waypoint message appears on the bottom of the screen. 10.As the GPS/GNX crosses the MAP and sequencing suspends, prepare the aircraft for a missed approach operation. Tap Unsuspend to sequence to the missed approach procedure. 11.Using the GPS/GNX guidance, fly to the MAHP and hold. 3-60 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 Navigation APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS LP APPROACH An LP approach uses SBAS accuracy, similar to an LNAV approach with more precision, and has lateral accuracy like an LPV approach. Angular scaling is similar to a localizer approach. Most LP approaches have step down altitudes associated with them. The approach still results in an MDA and missed approach point. The LP+V approach has advisory vertical guidance and at each step down the pilot must descend to the correct altitude. The approach results in an MDA and missed approach point. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 3-61 Navigation APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS 1. Within 30 nm of the destination, the GPS/GNX switches from En Route to Terminal mode and the CDI scale transitions from 2.0 to 1.0 nm, full-scale deflection. 2. Approaching the IAF, a turn direction message appears on the bottom of the screen. 3. As the distance (DIST) to the IAF approaches zero, a time to turn advisory message appears that counts down 10 seconds prior to the turn. 4. Approaching the FAF, the GPS/GNX rescales the angle. At 2 nm from the FAF, CDI scaling tightens from either 2 or 0.3 nm, full-scale deflection, whichever is smaller. 5. Sixty seconds before reaching the FAF, the GPS/GNX checks the required Horizontal Alarm Limit (HAL) and the GPS position integrity is within approach limits. If the HAL or VAL exceed the limits, the approach downgrades to a non-precision approach indicated by LNAV on the moving map, or the approach aborts. A downgraded message appears and the NAV indicator flags. Continue the approach using LNAV non-precision minimums, (if applicable). If GPS limits does not meet non-precision HAL limits, the GPS/GNX messages to abort the approach. The unit reverts to terminal limits of 1 nm to support navigation to the missed approach. If the approach is indicating an LP +V, and vertical guidance not within tolerances, the advisory vertical guidance could be removed without annunciation. This is not a downgrade, and the approach can fly to LP minimums. PERFORMING A LP APPROACH 6. When crossing the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP. With the needle on the external CDI (or HSI) centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums published on the approach plate. 7. When crossing the FAF, the waypoint sequences to the MAP
(e.g., RW31, the runway threshold). With the needle on the external CDI (or HSI) centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums published on the approach plate. 8. In the Map Page, the final course segment shows in magenta as the active leg of the flight plan. 9. Approaching the MAP, an Arriving at Waypoint message appears on the bottom of the screen. 10.As the GPS/GNX crosses the MAP and sequencing suspends, prepare the aircraft for a missed approach operation. Tap Unsuspend to sequence to the missed approach procedure. For missed approaches with heading legs, fly manually until the first active course leg is reached. 11.Using the guidance provided by the unit, fly to the MAHP and hold. 3-62 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 APPROACH DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS Navigation VISUAL APPROACH Not all airports in the database support visual approaches. The GPS/GNX generates visual approaches, provides advisory horizontal and optional vertical guidance for the runway, and helps stabilize the runway approach. Published data is used to determine the visual approach GPA and TCH for the selected runway. If no published data is available, the default is 3 GPA and 50 FT TCH.Lateral guidance is always provided for visual approaches. There are three different methods for loading and activating visual approaches. For methods 1 and 2, tapping Visual opens a list of available visual approaches. Once selected, the visual approach immediately loads and becomes active. Method 1 - On the map, tap Visual. When the aircraft is within 10 nm of the destination airport the Visual key appears on the display. Method 2 - On the bottom edge of the screen, tap Visual. This key is visible when a visual approach supported airport is selected on the map during Pan mode. Method 3 - Visual approaches load from the PROC - Approach page or the Airport Info - Procedures tab (similar to published instrument approaches). For information on how to use this page, refer to Selecting an Approach. After a visual approach loads, a confirmation pop-up shows, detailing the glidepath angle (GPA) and threshold crossing height
(TCH) when vertical guidance is available. Terrain and obstacle obstructions along the approach path determine the availability of vertical guidance advisories for visual approaches. A valid terrain database is required. If no known obstructions are within the approach path, vertical guidance is provided to a maximum distance of 28 nm from the runway. If there are known obstructions further than 3 nm, but within the 28 nm maximum distance from the runway along the approach, vertical guidance is limited to the approach path after crossing the known obstructions. After loading the approach, a shortened magenta line shows on the map. If obstructions are within 3 nm to the runway, along the approach path, advisory vertical guidance is not provided. Only external CDI/VDI displays provide vertical deviation indications. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 3-63 Navigation POINTS TO REMEMBER FOR ALL PROCEDURES For all procedures, make sure to check the runway, transition, and all waypoints. Only one departure, arrival, or approach is loaded in a flight plan at a time. Selecting a new departure, arrival, or approach in the active flight plan replaces the existing. Selecting the departure, arrival, approach, transition waypoint, and runway defines a route. Vector-only departures are not available in the Procedures database. Advisory climb altitudes for SIDs may not match charted altitudes. Do not rely solely on advisory altitudes. The GPS/GNX Map page is designed to complement approach plates and improve situational awareness throughout the approach. Always fly an approach as it appears on the approach plate. SUSP - While flying the approach, the unit automatically sequences through each leg of the approach unless SUSP appears at the annunciation bar at the bottom of the display. SUSP indicates the automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended on the current leg. SUSP typically appears at holding patterns, upon crossing the missed approach point (MAP), for Climb to Altitude legs, and for Hold to Altitude legs. For roll steering autopilots: Roll steering terminates when Approach mode is selected on the autopilot and is available once the missed approach initiates. If Vectors-to-Final is activated while on the FROM side of the FAF, automatic waypoint sequencing suspends and the SUSP annunciation appears. Automatic waypoint sequencing resumes once the aircraft is on the TO side of the FAF and within full-scale deflection. Most legs are TO legs, the TO/FROM flag on the CDI indicates TO and the Distance field on the flight plan decreases as you navigate along the leg. Some procedures include legs which are FROM legs. On these legs, the TO/FROM flag on the CDI indicates FROM and the Distance field on the flight plan increases as you navigate the leg. FROM legs are typically found on procedure turns and on some missed approach procedures. 3-64 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 Navigation CAUTION NOT ALL AUTOPILOTS FOLLOW GUIDANCE WHEN ON A HEADING LEG USING NAV, GPSS, OR APR MODE ON THE AUTOPILOT. SOME AUTOPILOTS REVERT TO A ROLL ONLY OR WINGS LEVEL MODE ON THESE LEG TYPES. THE PILOT MUST ENGAGE THE HEADING MODE OF THE AUTOPILOT AND SET THE HEADING BUG APPROPRIATELY IN ORDER TO USE THE AUTOPILOT ON THESE LEGS. CAUTION IDENTIFY HEADING LEGS FOR PROCEDURES BY HDG XXX IN WHITE ON THE FLIGHT PLAN PAGE. ENABLING AUTOPILOT OUTPUTS FOR THE KING KAP140/KFC225 After being prompted during the approach procedure, the pilot must manually activate the autopilot outputs for the King KAP140/KFC225 autopilot units. After enabling the autopilot outputs, the GPS provides guidance information consistent with what the autopilot expects (i.e., angular CDI scaling and glideslope capture for an LPV or other vertically guided GPS approach). 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 3-65 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 3-66 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 4 Planning Planning VERTICAL CALCULATOR 4.1 4.2 FUEL PLANNING 4.3 VCALC Page..........................................................................................4-3 VCALC Setup ........................................................................................4-4 Fuel Planning Page ................................................................................4-5 Fuel Planning Modes ......................................................................4-5 Computing Fuel Statistics ...............................................................4-7 4.3.1 4.3.2 DALT/TAS/WIND CALCULATOR 4.4 DALT/TAS/Wind Page ............................................................................4-8 Editing Input Data ..........................................................................4-8 Computing DALT/TAS/Wind Statistics ...........................................4-10 4.4.1 4.4.2 RAIM PREDICTION 4.5 RAIM Prediction Page ..........................................................................4-11 Calculating RAIM Status ...............................................................4-12 RAIM Status Indications ................................................................4-12 4.5.1 4.5.2 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 4-1 Planning PLANNING APPS & FUNCTIONS This section describes features that make flight planning easier and more efficient.

RAIM performs checks to ensure the navigator has adequate satellite geometry during flight. FEATURE REQUIREMENTS Active flight plan and off-route direct-to waypoint (arrival date and time) FEATURE LIMITATIONS FAAs TSO requirements for non-precision approaches specify significantly greater satellite coverage than is required during other phases of flight. As a result, RAIM may not be available for all approaches. This feature predicts the availability of fault detection integrity. It cannot predict the availability of LPV or L/VNAV approaches. Use a non-GPS based approach when RAIM is not available. For LPV approach availability, visit the FAAs NOTAM service. 4.5 RAIM Prediction Page The RAIM feature can help you plan for a pending flight by confirming GPS operation before an approach.

DATALINK WEATHER PROVIDES A SNAPSHOT IN TIME. IT MAY NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT THE CURRENT WEATHER SITUATION. NOTE Datalink weather is not intended to replace weather briefings or in-flight weather reports from AFSS or ATC. The FAA provides FIS-B as a Surveillance and Broadcast Service operating on the UAT
(978 MHz) frequency band. FIS-B uses a network of FAA-operated ground-based transceivers to transmit weather datalink information to the aircrafts receiver on a scheduled continuous basis. The Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) Weather service is freely available for aircraft equipped with a capable datalink universal access transceiver (UAT). Ground stations provide uninterrupted services for the majority of the contiguous U.S., Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and parts of Alaska. No weather subscription service is required. For the latest FAA ground station coverage information, visit:
www.faa.gov/nextgen/programs/adsb/
5.1 Data Transmission Limitations FIS-B broadcasts provide weather data in a repeating cycle which may take several minutes to completely transmit all available weather data. Therefore, not all weather data may be immediately present upon initial FIS-B signal acquisition. 5.1.1 Line of Sight Reception To receive FIS-B weather information, the aircrafts datalink receiver must be within range and line-of-sight of an operating ground-based transceiver. Reception may be affected by altitude, terrain, and other factors. Per the FAA, much of the United States has FIS-B In airborne coverage at and above 3,000 feet AGL. Terminal coverage is available at altitudes below 3,000 feet AGL and is available when flying near approximately 235 major U.S. airports. Surface coverage allows FIS-B ground reception at approximately 36 major U.S. airports. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 5-3 Hazard Awareness 5.1.2 Per FAA TSO-C157b FIS-B information may be used for pilot planning decisions focused on updating the pilot's awareness of the dynamic flight environment; including avoiding areas of inclement weather that are beyond visual range and pilot near-term decisions where poor visibility precludes visual acquisition of inclement weather. FIS-B weather and NAS status information may be used as follows:
a. To promote pilot awareness of ownship location with respect to reported weather, including hazardous meteorological conditions; NAS status indicators to enhance pilot planning decisions; and pilot near-term decision-making. b. To cue the pilot to communicate with Air Traffic Control, Flight Service Station specialist, operator dispatch, or airline operations control center for general and mission critical meteorological information, NAS status conditions, or both. FIS-B information, including weather information, NOTAMs, and TFR areas, are intended for the sole purpose of assisting in long-/near-term planning and decision making. The system lacks sufficient resolution and updating capability necessary for aerial maneuvering associated with immediate decisions. In extreme scenarios, the oldest weather radar data on the display can be up to 15 to 20 minutes older than the displays age indication for that weather radar data. Therefore, do not attempt to use FIS-B weather information to maneuver the aircraft at minimum safe distances from hazardous weather. FIS-B information must not be used in lieu of a standard preflight briefing. c. [Displaying FIS-B weather using GDL 88, or GTX 345 Class 1 transceivers]
FIS-B uplink is a subscription-free FIS broadcast managed by FAA SBS. It provides an FAA approved source for METAR, TAF, WINDS, PIREPs, NEXRAD, AIRMET, SIGMET, and TFR information, and is subject to the broadcast range limits for these products. FIS-B uplink is not an FAA approved source for NOTAMs. 5.1.3 NOTAM 30-Day Limitation NOTAMs received via FIS-B may not be a complete listing. Active NOTAMs are removed from the FIS-B data stream 30 days after issuance. Before flight, review all necessary aeronautical and meteorological information from official sources.

A timestamp identifies the approximate time of data collection for each weather product. For quick reference, the age of each active weather product is calculated and shown in a color-coded side bar on the FIS-B Weather page. TIMESTAMP COLOR DEFINITIONS Green Weather product is considered current. Its age is newer than half its expiration time. Tapping the Timestamp window displays time for all green colored weather products. Amber Weather product is considered stale. Its age is older than half its expiration time. A weather product may be amber when its issue date and time occurs in the future by more than the complete expiration time for the requested weather product. (e.g., some TFRs) Gray Received weather product data is expired, has not been received, or is not supported at the selected altitude. No Data or ALT UNAVBL displays next to the weather product title. BROADCAST RATES AND REFRESH INTERVALS The broadcast rate represents the periodic interval at which the ADS-B ground stations transmit the weather product for reception. Weather data with the same time stamp may be received multiple times in a row. Broadcast intervals are typically higher than the weather product update intervals. FIS-B update intervals report the frequency at which weather products refresh with new data from reporting stations, ground sensors,and weather product compilations. FIS-B transmission intervals report the frequency at which weather products are broadcast by the ADS-B ground stations network. Contact the appropriate weather product supplier for current broadcast rates and refresh intervals. Graphically dense weather products may take several minutes to receive completely. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 5-9 Hazard Awareness 5.4.2 Legends A scrollable legend provides relevant product colors and symbols.

NEXRAD IMAGES ARE SNAPSHOTS OF PAST WEATHER DATA. THEY ARE NOT SAFE FOR USE AS REAL TIME DEPICTIONS OF NEARBY WEATHER ACTIVITY. CONUS NEXRAD Regional NEXRAD NEXRAD weather radar displays a mosaic of precipitation data, colored according to reflectivity. Composite reflectivity images depict the highest radar energy received from multiple antenna tilt angles at various altitudes. Base reflectivity images depict radar returns from the lowest antenna tilt angle. The precipitation intensity level reflected by each pixel represents the highest level of composite radar reflectivity data sampled in that location. A clear understanding of ground-based Doppler weather radar capabilities will allow you to interpret the NEXRAD weather imagery in the safest way possible. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hosts a description of the technology on its website: https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/doppler_intro RADAR DATA ANIMATIONS To depict trending weather movements over time, an animation function stitches the last three to six received radar images together in sequence, from oldest to newest, and replays them on a continuous loop. Play and stop controls are active when three or more NEXRAD images are available for playback. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 5-11 Hazard Awareness CONUS & REGIONAL NEXRAD FIS-B NEXRAD is uplinked to the aircraft as two separate weather products:
CONUS and Regional NEXRAD. Both products display individually or simultaneously, separated by a white hash-marked boundary, based on source selection. Regional Echo Block Regional Boundary CONUS Echo Block Depending on the locations of received FIS-B ground stations, Regional NEXRAD coverage can extend as far as 250 nm around an aircrafts position. Aircraft flying at higher altitudes typically receive data from more ground stations than aircraft flying at low altitudes. FIS-B NEXRAD does not differentiate between liquid and frozen precipitation types. CONUS & Regional NEXRAD Combined Source options are selectable from the weather setup menu or the NEXRAD key at the bottom left of the FIS-B Weather page. The key label changes to reflect the active source.

To acquire an accurate 3-D fix
(latitude, longitude, altitude), a minimum of four operating satellites must be in view of the GPS receiver antenna. The terrain system uses GPS altitude and position data to:
Create a 2-D image of surrounding terrain and obstacles relative to the aircrafts position and altitude Calculate the aircrafts flight path in relation to surrounding terrain and obstacles Predict hazardous terrain conditions and issue alerts 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 5-27 Hazard Awareness GSL ALTITUDE & INDICATED ALTITUDE The unit converts GPS altitude data to GSL altitude (i.e., the geometric altitude relative to MSL) for use in terrain functions. All Terrain page depictions and elevation indications are in GSL. Variations between GSL altitude and the aircrafts corrected barometric altitude (or indicated altitude) are common. As a result, Terrain page altitude data may differ from current altimeter readings. Both GSL altitude and indicated altitude represent height above MSL, but differ in accuracy and reliability. GSL ALTITUDE Highly accurate and reliable geometric altitude source INDICATED ALTITUDE Barometric altitude source corrected for pressure variations Does not require local altimeter Requires frequent altimeter settings to determine height above MSL Not subject to pressure and temperature variations Affected primarily by satellite geometry setting adjustment to determine height above MSL Subject to local atmospheric conditions Affected by variations in pressure, temperature, and lapse rate 5-28 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 Hazard Awareness 5.14 Database Limitations NOTE Garmin cross-validates terrain and obstacle data in accordance with TSO-C151c. However, the information should never be considered all-inclusive. Database inaccuracies or omissions may exist. Terrain and obstacle data are not available when the aircraft is operating outside of the installed database coverage area.

All tasks must be performed while the aircraft is on the ground. 7.1 Glove Qualification The touchscreen uses capacitive touch technology to sense the proximity of skin to the display. A glove creates a barrier between the skin and the display glass, potentially reducing the ability of the display to detect touches. This procedure qualifies a specific glove for use with the touchscreen. Due to differences in finger size and glove size, the qualification procedure is specific to the pilot/glove combination. Multiple units must be evaluated individually. GLOVE SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS Thinner gloves perform better than thicker gloves. Leather gloves, and gloves designed specifically for use with capacitive touchscreen devices, are often found to be acceptable. To improve touchscreen sensitivity while wearing gloves, use the pad of your finger instead of the tip during touch interactions. GLOVE QUALIFICATION GUIDANCE Table 1 contains the tasks required to qualify a glove. Table 2 contains tasks that are not required to qualify a glove, but may limit how some functions are accessed while wearing a glove. 190-02207-02 Rev. 1 GPS 175/GNX 375 Pilots Guide 7-1 Qualification GLOVE QUALIFICATION STEPS Complete only the tasks for the capabilities relevant to the installed navigator. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Sit in the pilots seat. Start the unit in normal mode. Perform the tasks listed in table 1 and table 2, tapping each key with a non-gloved finger. It is not necessary to record any results for this step. Repeat step 3 using a gloved hand. For each task, determine whether the touchscreen response is the same or worse than without the glove. Record the results in the applicable table. Items that may cause the operation to be worse include, but are not limited to:
Multiple attempts to select a key Unintentional selection of adjacent key(s) Excessive force on the touchscreen to select a key If all applicable tasks produce the same response with and without a glove, the pilot may use the glove in flight. GLOVE QUALIFICATION PROCEDURE Pilot:
