LEFT-HAND KEYS AND KNOBS 1. The small left knob (PUSH C/V) is used to tune the kilohertz (kHz) value of the standby frequency for the communications transceiver (COM) or the VLOC receiver, whichever is currently selected by the tuning cursor.
  • Page 15 Supplement A21 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 2. The large left knob (COM/VLOC) is used to tune the megahertz (MHz) value of the standby frequency for the communications transceiver (COM) or the VOR/Localizer receiver, whichever is currently selected by the tuning cursor.
  • Page 16 Supplement A21 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 9. The menu key displays a context-sensitivity list of options. This options list allows you to access additional features or make settings changes which relate to the currently displayed page. 10. The clear key is used to erase information or cancel an entry. Press and hold this key to immediately display the Default Navigation Page, regardless of which page is currently being displayed.
  • Page 17 Supplement A21 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 15. The vertical navigation key allows you to create a three-dimensional profile which guides you to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. 16. The flight plan key allows you to create, edit, activate and invert flight plans, as well as access approaches, departures and arrivals.
  • Page 18 OPERATION POWERING UP THE GNS 530 The GNS 530´s power and COM volume are controlled using the COM power/volume knob (5) at the top left corner of the unit. Rotating it clockwise will turn unit power on and increase the COM radio volume. After turning the unit on, a 'welcome page' will be displayed while the unit performs a self test, followed by a 'land data page'.
  • Page 19 Rotate the large right knob (13) to highlight 'Go To Checklists?' and press ENT. Rotate the large right knob (13) to select the desired checklist, then follow the steps on page 142 of the GNS 530 Pilot´s Guide to execute each step in the selected checklist. Doc. # 6.01.01-E Rev.
  • Page 20 If the GNS 530 has not been operated for a period of six months or more, it may have to 'Search the Sky' to collect new data. This means the unit is acquiring satellite data to establish almanac and satellite orbit information, which can take 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Page 21 To return to the previous page after viewing a message, press MSG again. SELECTING COM/NAV FREQUENCIES The GNS 530´s display is divided into separate 'windows' (or screen areas), including a COM window, VLOC window and the GPS window (the right 3/4 of the display).
  • Page 22 Supplement A21 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 Once you have entered the active frequency, simply repeat steps 1 and 2, above, to enter the standby frequency. After both communication frequencies have been entered, you may select to keep the COM window 'hot' by leaving the cursor on the standby frequency, or move the cursor to the VLOC window by pressing the small left knob (1).
  • Page 23 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 MAP PAGE After the GNS 530 acquires satellites and computes a position, the map page will appear automatically. The map page displays your present position (using an airplane symbol) relative to nearby airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, user waypoints and airspace boundaries - and your route displayed as a solid line.
  • Page 24 VNAV). Selecting one of these stand-alone page groups, in effect, exits the main page groups and displays a page for the desired function. By pressing the same function key a second time, the GNS 530 will return to the main page group and the previously displayed page.
  • Page 25 GNS 530 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION The GNS 530 can use direct point-to-point navigation to guide you from takeoff to touchdown, even in the IFR environment. Once a destination is selected, the unit will provide speed, course and distance data based upon a direct course from your present position to your destination.
  • Page 26 Supplement A21 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 DEFAULT NAV PAGE During most flights, the default NAV, map and NAVCOM pages will be the primary pages used for navigation. The default NAV page displays a 'look ahead' map, a graphic course deviation indicator (CDI), the active leg of your flight plan (as defined by the current 'from' and 'to' waypoints), and four user-selectable data fields.
  • Page 27 Supplement A21 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 NAVCOM PAGE A frequency listed on the NAVCOM page can be quickly transferred to the standby field of the COM or VLOC windows. This time saving process prevents having to 're- key' a frequency already displayed elsewhere on the screen.
  • Page 28 Supplement A21 DA 40 AFM GNS 530 IFR PROCEDURES Once the direct-to or flight plan is confirmed, the whole range of instrument procedures is available to you.
