Troubleshooting Q & A
How do I skip a waypoint in an approach, departure,
or arrival?
The 500W-series unit allows you to manually select any
approach, departure or arrival leg as the active leg of your
flight plan. This procedure is performed from the Active
Flight Plan Page by highlighting the desired waypoint and
pressing the direct-to key twice, then ENT to approve
the selection (see illustration left). The GPS then provides
navigation along the selected flight plan leg, so ensure that
you have clearance to that position. See Section 4 - Flight
Plans - Flight Plan Leg Selection for more information.
NOTE: If activating a leg while on the From side,
sequencing will be suspended as indicated with
the SUSP annunciation shown above the OBS
key.
How do I fly the GPS with an autopilot and DG head-
ing bug?
If you do not have an HSI, you should make your
course selections on the external CDI' s OBS knob and the
DG heading bug.

When does turn anticipation begin, and what bank
angle is expected?
The 500W-series unit smooths adjacent leg transitions
based upon a nominal 15º bank angle (with the ability to
increase the bank angle up to 30º) and provide three pilot
cues for turn anticipation:
1) A waypoint alert ("Left or Right to ###° in xx sec")
flashes in the lower right corner of the screen 10
seconds before the turn point.
2) A flashing turn advisory ("Left or Right to ###° now")
appears in the lower right corner of the screen when
you are to begin the turn. Set the HSI to the next
DTK value and begin the turn.
3) The To/From indicator on the HSI (or CDI) flips
momentarily to indicate that you have crossed the
midpoint of the turn. For more information on
waypoint alerts and turn advisories, see Section 5.
