RAIM Prediction— predicts if GPS coverage is available for your current location or at a specified
waypoint at any time and date. Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring performs checks to ensure
that the GPS 500 has adequate satellite geometry during your flight. RAIM availability is near 100%
in Oceanic, En-route and Terminal phases of flight. Because the FAA’s TSO requirements for non-
precision approaches specify significantly better satellite coverage than other flight phases, RAIM may
not be available when flying some approaches. The GPS 500 automatically monitors RAIM during
approach operations and warns you if RAIM is not available. In such cases, use the external VOR/ILS
receiver instead for many of the non-precision and precision approaches stored on your Jeppesen
NavData® card. RAIM prediction helps plan for a pending flight to confirm GPS operation during
an approach.
Software / Database Versions— provides software version information for the operating software
within the GPS receiver and main processor board. The Software / Database Versions page also
displays the current Jeppesen database type and expiration date, along with the version and type of
built-in land database.

Utility Page: Checklists
To create a checklist:
1. Select “Checklist” from the Utility page, using the steps described on page 122. Press ENT to display a list of
checklists.
2. Press MENU to display an options menu. Rotate the large right knob to select “Create New Checklist?”
and press ENT.
3. Use the small and large right knobs to enter the name of a checklist. Press ENT when finished (up to
nine different checklists can be created and stored in the GPS 500).
4. Use the small and large right knobs to enter each checklist item followed each time by ENT (each
checklist may contain up to 30 line items up to 16 characters in length).
An “INTEG” annunciation at the bottom left corner
of the screen indicates that satellite coverage is
insufficient to pass built-in receiver autonomous
integrity monitoring (RAIM) tests. When this
occurs, the GPS receiver continues to provide
navigation information, but should not be used for
primary navigation guidance. Use another suitable
navigation source for navigating.

If a “WARN” annunciation appears at the bottom
left corner, GPS satellite coverage may be sufficient,
but the GPS 500 has detected a position error which
exceeds protection limits. In this condition, all GPS
navigation data on the GPS 500 is disabled. Use an
alternate navigation source.
