is set. As the airplane approaches within approximately 50 feet of
the decision height, the alert will sound and the DH light will flash.
As the airplane passes through approximately 50 feet beyond the
decision height, the alert will sound and the light will flash again.
Pressing the DH button again will disable the DH function
causing the DH annunciation to go out. Repeated activation of
the DH button alternately activates and deactivates the DH
mode.
Set Altitude Alert (ALR)
1. Press altitude selector ALR button to arm alert mode. The ALR
annunciator will come on. Upon entering within 1000 feet of the
altitude selected in ALT SEL, the altitude alert chime will sound in
the cabin speaker and headphones and the ALR annunciator will
flash. The chime will sound and the ALR annunciator will flash
again as the airplane approaches within 300 feet of the selected
altitude. If the airplane's altitude deviates ± 300 feet from the
selected altitude, the chime will sound and the ALR annunciator
will flash to indicate the condition.
2. To disable ALR, press the altitude selector ALR button again. The
ALR annunciator will go out.
GPS Tracking and GPS Approach
1. Begin with a reliable GPS signal selected on the NAV receiver.
2. Select desired course on HSI and establish a desired intercept
heading.
3. Press the NAV button on the autopilot programmer/computer
twice. The NAV and GPSS mode annunciators will illuminate.
If the course needle is at full-scale deviation, the autopilot will
establish the airplane on a heading for a 45° intercept with the
selected course. As the airplane approaches the course, the
autopilot will smoothly shallow the intercept angle. The pilot
may select an intercept angle less than the standard 45° by
setting the desired intercept heading with the HSI HDG bug,
pressing and holding HDG, and then pressing NAV once to
