Page 24: Nearest Airports
From page 10 you may recall that one of the main page groups, NRST, provides list- ings for nearest airports or other facilities. The NRST group provides detailed information TAKEOFF TOUR on the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and user-created waypoints within 200 nautical miles of your current position.

Page 77: Approaches With Procedure Turns
The procedure turn portion of an approach is stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this reason, the GNS 430 requires no special operations from the pilot — other than ﬂ ying the procedure turn itself — beyond what is required for any other type of approach.
Page 78: Flying The Procedure Turn

During oceanic, en route and terminal phases of flight, RAIM will be available nearly 100% of the time. Because of the tighter protection limit on approaches, there may be times when RAIM is not available. The GNS 430 automatically monitors RAIM and will warn you with an alert message (see Section 10) when it is not available, and the INTEG annunciator ( ) will appear at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Page 192 Can I file slant Golf (“/G”) using my GPS? Yes, you may file your flight plan as /G if your GNS 430 is a certified A1 or A2 installation. If you are flying en route, you may file /G with an expired database only after you have verified all route waypoints.
Page 193 Cannot be set for final approach course or published holding patterns Whenever OBS mode is active, the GNS 430 allows you to select the desired course to/from a waypoint using the HSI (much like a VOR) and display a to/from ﬂ ag for the active-to waypoint. If an external course input is not available, you may select the OBS course on-screen, via a “Select OBS Course pop-up window.
Page 194 When does turn anticipation begin, and what bank angle is expected? The GNS 430 will smooth 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 ###°”) will ﬂ ash in the lower right corner of the screen 10 seconds before the turn point.
