User manual GARMIN GPS 65

[. . . ] B Printed in Taiwan. i INTRODUCTION Cautions CAUTION The GPS system is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the GARMIN GPS 165 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner's Manual and Flight Manual Supplement, and thoroughly practice using the simulator mode prior to actual use. [. . . ] If you do add the cpa waypoint to the route, it will be named based on the reference waypoint plus a number (0. . . 9) added to the end (e. g. If the waypoint does not fall between waypoints on the route, the reference waypoint does not exist, or a unique name cannot be assigned to the CPA waypoint, you'll be informed with a `Invald CPA wpt ____' message. The GPS 165's search and rescue function provides navigation guidance for search and rescue operations, navigating in a ladder pattern to maximize coverage and efficiency. The first leg will be a specified distance from the line connecting the anchor waypoints, called the offset distance. The ladder can be created on either side of the waypoints. To perform a search and rescue operation: 1. Rotate O to highlight the initial offset, and use K and O to enter the initial offset value, and R or L. Press E three times to accept the operation values and begin navigation. ANCHOR WAYPOINT ANCHOR WAYPOINT DIRECT-TO & ROUTE NAV Search & Rescue Function LEG LEG LEG INCREMENT INCREMENT INCREMENT DISTANCE DISTANCE DISTANCE INITIAL OFFSET After activating a search and rescue, you will be informed with an `Offset nav in effect' message. If a search and rescue is interrupted, note the parallel track direction (R or L) and distance on the activation page for route 0. When you resume search and rescue operations, use this as the initial offset. Performing a search and rescue operation. 55 DIRECT-TO & ROUTE NAV Offset Navigation Enter parallel track value after route activation. ARRIVAL WAYPOINT During route navigation, it is sometimes desirable to navigate a specified distance away from the `active leg' to help avoid certain airspaces or regions. The GPS 165's parallel track feature will automatically guide you along a selected offset from the active leg. To use offset navigation, or parallel track: 1. Use K to display route 0 (parallel track can only be used on the active route). Use K and O to enter the desired distance and direction (R or L), from the leg. ET E FS NC OF TA DIS NE LA RP AI DEPARTURE WAYPOINT Parallel Track 5. Rotate K to select the desired setting and press C. Active route page with desired track displayed. The active route page may also be used to create a new route or edit the route you are currently navigating (approach, SID or STAR waypoints cannot be edited), and provides a fast method of selecting any route waypoint as your next destination waypoint without modifying the active route. If you are editing the active route and want to save it in its original form, copy it to an open storage route before editing. To add waypoints to the active route: Adding a waypoint to the active route. 1. Use O to highlight the first blank waypoint field or highlight the waypoint you would like to add the new waypoint BEFORE. The cursor will automatically move to the next waypoint field, and the remaining route waypoints (if any are present) will move down the list accordingly. 58 To delete a waypoint from the active route: 1. Use O to highlight the waypoint you would like to delete from the active route. The next route waypoint (if available) will move up to take the position of the deleted waypoint. DIRECT-TO & ROUTE NAV On-Route Direct-To The active route page also allows you to select your next destination waypoint manually from the active route waypoint list and resume the remainder of the route in sequence. This procedure, referred to as an `on-route' direct-to, allows the pilot to fly the active route in a different sequence without editing the active route, approach, SID or STAR itself. For example, if you are flying a route with an armed approach, the GPS 165 will automatically provide the initial approach fix (IAF) for the selected approach as your `active to' waypoint. If you have been vectored directly to the final approach fix (bypassing the IAF), you can manually `skip ahead' to the final approach fix as your next active to waypoint. To perform an on-route direct-to from the active route page: 1. Press D, followed by E to confirm the `ok?' prompt on the waypoint confirmation page. Manually selecting the next active route waypoint. Confirming the on-route direct-to. The GPS 165 will now provide guidance to the direct-to waypoint with the CDI page, and resume navigating the remainder of the active route in sequence once you arrive at the direct-to destination. See Section 4 for more on approach navigation. CDI page with new destination waypoint. 59 DIRECT-TO & ROUTE NAV Turn Anticipation While the active route page offers the necessary functions for creating, monitoring and modifying the active route, the GPS 165's CDI page is used to provide turn anticipation, next desired track and waypoint arrival information to the pilot. The GPS 165's turn anticipation feature smooths out the transitions between adjacent legs based on a nominal bank angle of 15º, with the ability to roll up to 25º. [. . . ] The GPS will then provide navigation directly to the selected waypoint, so be sure you have clearance directly to that position. If you do not have an HSI, you should make your course selections on the OBS and the DG heading bug. 114 When does turn anticipation begin, and what bank angle is expected?The GPS 165 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) The waypoint annunciator will flash 15 seconds before the turn point and glow steadily 2 seconds prior to the turn anticipation point. 2) A flashing `next dtk' prompt will appear on the GPS 165's CDI field.
