Internal system checking is performed to ensure the GPS receiver is providing
accurate data to the GDU(s).
In the G300 Dual Display System the GPS antenna is connected to the PFD only.
The PFD shares its GPS position, velocity, and time data with the MFD. Because
the MFD is not using its own GPS receiver, the name of the GDU providing the
data (i.e., '3D GPS Location (PFD)') is displayed following the GPS Status text on
the INFO Page.
The GPS Status 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
• Acquiring Satellites—Receiver is looking for and collecting data from satellites
visible at its last known or initialized location, but has not acquired a fix
