VFR GPS RECEIVER OPERATION

Internal system checking is performed to ensure the internal VFR GPS receiver is operating
correctly.
Viewing VFR GPS receiver status:
From any page, open the menu and select System > VFR GPS.
NOTE: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and
is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject
to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
Portions of the system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID).
Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused
or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
The GPS Solution will display one of the following conditions:
• Autolocate—Receiver is looking for any satellite whose almanac has been collected, which
can take up to 5 minutes.
• Searching the Sky—Receiver is looking for satellites.
