GNS 530/430 Home Study 3

Worksheet – COM and VLOC Operation

After reviewing the GNS 430 or GNS 530 Pilot’s Guide, complete the following exercises using the Garmin 400 or 500 

series PC simulation device.

Exercise 1

Use the simulation device to manually tune the COM radio to the CTAF of 122.7 and make it the active frequency.  

Next, tune the VLOC to the VOR frequency 114.0 and make it the active frequency.  Also, set the unit so that the external 
CDI is tracking the tuned VOR instead of GPS.

Exercise 2

For this exercise, initialize the simulation device position to KMKC (Wheeler Downtown, Kansas City, MO).  After the 

position is initialized, use the Nav 3 page (400/500 series trainer) to find the ATIS frequency for KMKC and automatically 
tune the COM radio.  Make the ATIS frequency active.  Next, tune the Ground frequency in the same manner.

Exercise 3

For this exercise, initialize the simulation device position to KMKC (Wheeler Downtown, Kansas City, MO). After the 

position is initialized, locate the Nearest VOR page.  From the Nearest VOR page, find ANX (Napoleon) and automatically 
tune the VLOC receiver to it.  Make ANX the active frequency and ensure that the external CDI is set to track the VOR.

Exercise 4

Use the simulation device to automatically tune the COM radio to the Tower or CTAF frequency of your home airport, 

using the database without using the Nearest page.
