1.  Select “RAIM Prediction” from the utility page, using the steps described on page 138.

2.  The fl ashing cursor highlights the waypoint fi eld. Use the small and large right knobs to enter the identifi er 

of the waypoint at which you wish to determine RAIM availability. Press ENT when fi nished. (To determine 
RAIM availability for your present position, press CLR, followed by ENT.)

3.  The fl ashing cursor moves to the arrival date fi eld. Use the small and large right knobs to enter the date for 

which you wish to determine RAIM availability. Press ENT when fi nished. 

4.  The fl ashing cursor moves to the arrival time fi eld. Use the small and large right knobs to enter the time for 

which you wish to determine RAIM availability. Press ENT when fi nished.

5.  The fl ashing cursor moves to “Compute RAIM?”. Press ENT to begin RAIM prediction. Once calculations are 

complete, the GNS 530 displays one of the following in the RAIM status fi eld:

• RAIM Not Available —   Satellite coverage is predicted to NOT be suf ficient for reliable opera-

tion during non-precision approaches

• RAIM Available —  

Satellite coverage is predicted to be suffi cient for reliable operation 
during all fl ight phases, including non-precision approaches

NOTE: RAIM computations predict satellite coverage within +/- 15 minutes of the specifi ed arrival 
date and time. Refer to page 145 for more information regarding RAIM protection limits.

The Software / Database Versions Page displays software version information for each of the various 

subsystems contained within the GNS 530, as well as database versions for the Jeppesen NavData® card and 
built-in land data. This page is for in formation purposes only — no user functions are available from this
