Page 236 APPENDIX C TROUBLESHOOTING When should I use the OBS key to return to auto sequencing, and what happens when I do? The most common application for using the OBS Key is the missed approach. The GPS 400 suspends automatic waypoint sequencing (indicated by a ‘SUSP’ annunciation directly above the OBS Key;...
Page 237 When does turn anticipation begin, and what bank angle is expected? The GPS 400 smooths adjacent leg transitions based upon a nominal 15º bank angle (with the ability to roll up to 25º) and provide three pilot cues for turn anticipation: 1) A waypoint alert (‘NEXT DTK ###°’) flashes in the lower right corner of the screen 10 seconds before the turn point (Figure C-6).
Page 238 APPENDIX C TROUBLESHOOTING Why does my CDI not respond like a VOR when OBS mode is active? Unlike a VOR, the CDI scale used on GPS equipment is based on the cross-track distance to the desired course, not an angular relationship to the destination (Figure C-8).
