Takeoff Tour

Once the database has been acknowledged, the Instrument Panel Self-Test page appears. To ensure

that your GPS 500 and any connected instruments are working properly, check for the following
indications on your CDI/HSI, RMI, external annunciators and other connected instruments:

• Course deviation - half left / no flag

• Glideslope - half up / no flag

• TO/FROM flag - TO

• Time to destination - 4 minutes

• Bearing to destination - 135°

• Desired track - 149.5°

• Distance to dest. - 10.0 nautical miles

• Ground speed - 150 knots

• All external annunciators (if installed) - on

The Instrument Panel Self-Test page indicates the currently selected OBS course, fuel capacity

(CAP), fuel on board (FOB) and fuel flow (FF). The fuel capacity is entered manually. Fuel on board
and fuel flow may be manually entered if your installation does not include connection to sensors
which automatically provide these figures.

To enter fuel capacity, fuel on board or fuel flow figures (if not provided by sensors):

1. Rotate the large right knob to select the “CAP”, “FOB” or “FF” field.

2. Rotate the small and large right knobs to enter the desired figure, then press ENT.

Enter the fuel capacity, fuel on board or fuel flow
figures directly onto the appropriate field of the
Instrument Panel Self-Test page. Fuel on board and
fuel flow are automatically provided if your
installation includes connection to external sensors.
