longitude, and altitude) and the altitude encoder to enhance the
altitude calculation.
The GPS1 antenna is located above the headliner along the airplane
centerline. The GPS2 antenna is located below the glareshield and
behind the MFD. All GPS navigator controls and functions are
accessible through the GPS receiver units' front control panels located
in the center console. The panels include function keys, power
switches, MSG and NAV status annunciators, a color LCD display
(GNS 430), two concentric selector knobs on each panel, and a
Jeppesen NavData card slot in each panel. The displays are daylight
readable and automatically dimmed for low-light operation. The
primary GPS navigator is powered by 28 VDC through the 5-amp GPS
1 and 7.5-amp COM 1 circuit breakers on the Avionics Essential Bus.
The secondary GPS navigator is powered by 28 VDC through the 5-
amp GPS 2 and the 7.5-amp COM 2 circuit breaker on the Avionics
Non-Essential Bus.
Avionics Configuration B and PFD:
The airplane is equipped with two GPS navigators. Dual Garmin GNS
430s are designated GPS 1 and GPS 2. Both Garmin GPS navigators
are IFR certified. The primary unit, designated GPS 1, is coupled to
the airplane's HSI or PFD, Autopilot, and MFD. The secondary unit,
designated GPS 2, is coupled to the airplane's HSI or PFD, and MFD.
The GPS navigators are capable of providing IFR enroute, terminal,
and approach navigation with position accuracies better than 15
meters. Each GPS navigator utilizes the Global Positioning System
(GPS) satellite network to derive the airplane's position (latitude,
longitude, and altitude) and the altitude encoder to enhance the
altitude calculation.
