Data Field Configuration - Garmin GNS 530W Pilot's Manual & Reference

NOTE: Exercise caution when changing the Near-
est Airport Criteria. Remember, by excluding certain
surface types or shorter runway lengths, you may be
excluding airports from the nearest list that are more
than adequate for an emergency landing!
Data Field Configuration
To change the configuration of the data field
below the VLOC window:
1. Select "Data Field Configuration" from the
Setup Page.
2. Turn the small right knob to select the desired
data field option. The following options are
available:
• VOR/LOC Data — displays the identifier,
distance and radial FROM the tuned VOR sta-
tion active in the VLOC window. When tuned
to a nearby localizer, the localizer identifier,
associated airport and runway are displayed
instead.
• Configurable Data Fields — displays a user-
selectable data field of navigation data (e.g.,
ground speed, track, distance to destination, etc.)
• Traffic Watch — if your 500W-series unit is
connected to other equipment providing traf-
fic alert information (e.g., L3 SKYWATCH™
or RYAN TCAD), a window is provided to
display traffic information. This allows you
to monitor traffic conditions from ANY page
and quickly identify traffic hazards. See the
400W/500W Series Display Interfaces Pilot's
Guide Addendum for more information on
traffic data.
3. Press ENT to accept the selection.
4. If "Configurable Data Fields" is selected, a
second selection field appears to allow you
to select the desired data type. Turn the large
right knob to highlight this second field, then
turn the small right knob to display a list
of available navigation data types. Continue
turning the small right knob to select the
desired data type and press ENT to approve
your selection.
