If you enter a more rapid climb or descent, the GPS 150 will display the elapsed time
before the maneuver is to begin. At 15 seconds, you will be informed with the message
'Start altitude chng'. The VNAV altitude may be displayed on the CDI page in the ETE
field. The VNAV altitude displayed is the suggested altitude you should fly in order to com-
plete the maneuver as programmed. The VNAV function will automatically be cancelled if
the active route is changed, and you will be informed with a 'VNAV cancelled' message.
The GPS 150 will also allow you to create checklists to remind you of repetitive
tasks that can be called up at any time for review. Examples include pre-flight checklists,
landing checklists, emergencies, etc. You can program up to nine checklists with thirty
items in each list. Each name or checklist item can have up to 16 characters each.
