  • Page 28 Takeoff Tour Additional Reading This Takeoff Tour is intended to provide a brief introduction of the major features of the GPS 500. The reference section of this manual describes these features, and others, in additional detail. Use the reference section, as needed, to learn or review the details regarding a particular feature. The Index (beginning on page 168) may be used to quickly locate the information you want within the reference section.
  • Page 29 Main Page Groups The main pages of the GPS 500 are divided into groups: NAV, WPT, AUX and NRST. While viewing any of these pages, selection of another page is a simple selection process using the small and large right knobs.
  • Page 30 (CDI) also appears at the bottom of the page. Unlike the angular limits used on a mechanical CDI coupled to a VOR or ILS receiver, full scale limits for this CDI are defined by a GPS- derived distance (0.3, 1.0 or 5.0 nm). By default, the CDI scale automatically adjusts to the desired limits based upon the current phase of flight: en route, terminal area or approach.
  • Page 31 NOTE: The GPS 500 always navigates TO a waypoint unless the OBS switch is set (preventing automatic waypoint sequencing), or you have passed the last waypoint in your flight plan. Directly above the CDI appears the active leg of your flight plan, or the direct-to destination when using the direct-to key.
  • Page 32 A “Crossfill?” option is provided from the Default NAV page. This option allows you to transfer a direct-to destination, the active flight plan, any stored flight plan or user waypoints to a second 500-series Garmin unit. Some crossfill operations can be done automatically. If both 500-series units are set to “auto”, a change in the direct-to destination or active flight plan on one unit can also be seen on the other.

  • Page 63 Section 4: Approaches, Departures & Arrivals The GPS 500 allows you to fly non-precision approaches to airports with published instrument approach procedures. All available approaches are stored on your Jeppesen NavData® card, and are automatically updated when you replace the card with a new one. Subscription information for NavData cards is included in your GPS 500 package.
  • Page 64 Not all approaches in the database are approved for GPS use. As you select an approach, a “GPS” designation to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver.
  • Page 65 “Activated”. 4. “Activate” the full approach or vectors-to-final, as appropriate. In some scenarios, you may find it more convenient to immediately activate the approach and skip the “Load” process outlined above in step 3. The GPS 500 provides both options.
  • Page 66 The procedure turn portion of an approach is stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this reason, the GPS 500 requires no special operations from the pilot—other than flying the procedure turn itself—beyond what is required for any other type of approach.
  • Page 67 Flying the Procedure Turn 1. Within 30 nautical miles of the destination airport, the GPS 500 switches from “en route” mode to “terminal” mode (as indicated in the lower left Œ corner of the screen). The switch to terminal mode is accompanied by a gradual Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) scale transition from 5.0 to 1.0...
