Garmin 196 Guida Utente

The VNAV sub tab in the Main Menu provides settings for the 

vertical navigation feature. These settings create a three-dimensional 

profile that guides you from your present location and altitude to a 

final (target) altitude at a specified location. 
When the VNAV profile is defined, message alerts help keep you 

informed of your progress. The bar on the HSI on the Panel Page 

shows your VNAV profile. 
To use the vertical navigation feature, your ground speed must be 

greater than 35 knots and you must be navigating a Goto or a route. 
The “Approaching VNAV Profile” message appears one minute 

prior to the initial descent point. The descent angle locks to prevent 

changes in speed from altering the profile. The VNAV feature does 

not take into account any changes in groundspeed that occur during 

the transition from level flight to descent or climb. 

At 500 ft above the target altitude, the “Approaching Target 

Altitude” message appears, the time to vertical navigation goes 

blank, and the VNAV indicator disappears from the Panel Page.
