TAKEOFF TOUR

While the GNS 530 is acquiring a position, let’s take a minute to dial in the active and stand by fre quencies

you’ll be using for the fi rst phase of your fl ight. The GNS 530’s display is divided into separate ‘windows’ (or screen 
areas), including a COM window, VLOC window (by default with VOR ident/radial, but selectable for other data 
— including a traffi c display) and a GPS win dow which occupies the right 3/4 of the display.

Pushing the small left knob moves the tuning cursor back-and-forth between the COM and VLOC 

fre quency windows. To select the active frequency, you must fi rst enter the frequency in the standby fi eld, and 
use the COM (or VLOC) fl ip-fl op key to move it to the active fi eld.

1. Press the small left knob, if needed, to move the tuning cursor to the COM window.

2. Rotate the large left knob to select the MHz, and the small left knob to select the kHz of the desired 

frequency.

Once you’ve entered the active frequency, simply repeat steps 1 and 2, above, to enter the standby fre-

quency. After both communication frequencies have been entered, you may elect to keep the COM window 
‘hot’ by leaving the cursor on the standby frequency, or move the cursor to the VLOC window by pressing the 
small left knob. NOTE: When selecting VLOC frequencies, the tuning cursor automatically returns to the 
COM window after 30 seconds of inactivity.

To switch the active and standby frequencies, press 
the COM fl ip-fl op key. Switching the active and 
standby frequencies does not remove the cursor 
from the COM window.
