  • Page 27: Chapter 3 Basic Operation

    Configuring the SN4500 refers to selecting the data for a given display. For example, either the VOR or the GPS receiver can drive a bearing pointer. Controlling the SN4500 refers to tailoring the display to suit the immediate situation. For example, the pilot may decide to turn off a bearing pointer completely during the enroute portion of the flight and use it only during an approach.

  • Page 28: Selecting The Data

    Sensor data is data that comes from avionic sources within the aircraft. This includes primary navigational instruments as well as sensors. The SN4500 can display data from the following sources: • Compass system (directional gyro and fluxgate) • NAV1 and NAV2 receivers •...

  • Page 29: Selecting The Primary Nav Source

    The SN4500’s course pointer and CDI can be driven from VOR or GPS data. In some installations, the [NAV] button on the SN4500 is used to select the primary NAV source. In others, an external switch performs this function and the [NAV] button has no effect. Refer to the Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement for the details of the installation.

  • Page 30: Selecting And Displaying Bearing Pointers 1 & 2

    Map data consists of flight plan waypoints from the LNAV receiver (GPS/FMS), as well as nearby airports, navaids, intersections and airspace from the SN4500’s internal database. The different categories of map information can be enabled or disabled individually. To display the map data, press [MAP] to cycle through the available map memory locations.

  • Page 31: 360-Degree Full View And 70-Degree Arc View

    Auto-Slewing the Course Pointer One unique feature of the SN4500 is its ability to automatically rotate the course pointer to the desired course being sent digitally from the GPS/FMS. This feature is called “auto-slew”, and is especially useful when flying a complex flight plan as it eliminates the burden of manually setting the course pointer for each leg of the flight plan.

  • Page 32: Remote Course And Heading Knobs

    The auto-slew function is enabled/disabled in the NAV menu as described in Chapter 4. Remote Course and Heading Knobs The SN4500 supports the use of remote course select and heading select knobs. When using a remote course select knob, the course select knob on the SN4500 will be disabled.

    This function will exceed the course intercept and tracking capability of the autopilot’s typical “NAV” function. When enabled, the LNAV roll steering function is an extension of the of the SN4500 heading bug function. NOTE: This capability is only available during GPS navigation.

  • Page 44: Intercepting An Active Leg (Lnav Arm)

    In LNAV ARM a virtual waypoint is formed at the intercept where the dotted track line crosses the active leg. This virtual waypoint is used by the SN4500 to calculate the turn anticipation point when LNAV ARM will switch to LNAV. This will provide a turn that smoothly joins the active leg in the direction of the active waypoint.

    For instance, when cruising at FL180 or higher, you might want to display only high-altitude VORs, Special Use Airspace and airports with paved runways of 6,000 feet or longer. The SN4500 allows you to save such a map configuration in one of four map memories and then recall it as needed.

  • Page 52: Internal Database

    MAP OPERATIONS Note: The SN4500 requires a connection to a GPS/FMS receiver in order to display the moving map. The map display, including the flight plan from the GPS1 receiver, will also be shown when NAV1 or NAV2 is selected as the primary NAV source.

  • Page 53: Map Memories

    1, 2, 3, 4 or S. Any memory that is empty is skipped during the MAP rotation sequence. In the default setup of the SN4500, memories 1, 2 and 3 contain default settings, and memories S and 4 are empty.

  • Page 54: Map Database Items

    There are a large number of selection items. However, the organization of the SN4500 is intended to make the map setup process as easy as possible. You should experiment with the map settings until you develop the style of operation best suited for your flying.

    Automatic Decluttering Occasionally, the SN4500 map display may become too cluttered to read, such as by turning on several categories of map items. The SN4500 will automatically remove items from the display if the total number of items is too great to display. When this occurs, it is indicated by an icon color...

  • Page 62: Maximum Range Of Internal Map Data

    MAP OPERATIONS Normally the SN4500 will allow up to approximately 50 icons before this action occurs, but this number may be smaller if complex airspace is displayed simultaneously. When automatic decluttering occurs, it occurs first to objects closest to the aircraft. When the display is zoomed-in, these objects will reappear and the associated status bar icon will turn back to cyan.
