The NAV Page Group includes seven pages (if configured). While viewing any NAV page, turn the small right knob to select a different NAV page. The pilot may find this selection process convenient to cycle between the Default NAV Page and the Map Page, which are two of the most frequently used pages. Other pages are provided for TAWS or TERRAIN information (if configured for TAWS or TERRAIN), to list frequencies for the flight plan, and to display current satellite reception.
The default NAV page displays a graphic course deviation indicator (CDI) across the top of the page. Unlike the angular limits on a CDI coupled to a VOR or ILS receiver, full scale limits for this CDI are defined by a GPS-derived distance (2.0, 1.0 or 0.3 NM). By default, the CDI scale automatically adjusts to the desired limits based upon the current phase of flight: en route, terminal area or approach.
The Satellite Status Page is helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. You may wish to refer to this page occasionally to monitor GPS receiver performance and establish a normal pattern for system operation. Should problems occur at a later date, you may find it helpful to have an established baseline from which to compare.
The 400W-series vertical navigation page (the last AV page) allows you to create a three-dimensional profile which guides you from your present position and altitude to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. This is helpful when you’d like to descend to a certain altitude near an airport. Once the profile is defined, message alerts and additional data on the default NAV and map pages will keep you informed of your progress.
VNAV is inhibited in the following conditions:
• Groundspeed is less than 35 knots
• No active flight plan or direct-to destination
• SUSP mode
• Vectors-to-Final mode
• VLOC mode

32. Garmin 430w GPS Guidance on an IFR Approach Procedure
Selecting an approach
For precision approaches and some non-precision approaches, a reminder window appears indicating that GPS guidance on such approaches is strictly for monitoring only — use the VLOC receivers and external CDI (or HSI) for primary navigation. To confirm this reminder, highlight ‘Yes?’ and press the ENT Key. Not all approaches in the database are approved for GPS use. As the pilot selects an approach, a ‘GPS’ designation
to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures do not have this designation, meaning the GPS receiver may be used for supplemental navigation guidance only. ILS approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the
VLOC receiver to the proper frequency and coupling the VLOC receiver to the external CDI (or HSI).
A selected approach may be activated or loaded. Once an approach is selected, it may be activated for navigation from the Procedures Page. Activating the approach overrides the ‘enroute’ portion of the active flight plan, proceeding directly to the ‘approach’ portion (for a full approach, directly to the initial approach fix). Activating the approach also initiates automatic CDI scaling transition as the approach progresses. In many cases, it may be easiest to ‘Load’ the full approach while still some distance away, enroute to the destination airport. Later, if vectored to final, use the following steps to select ‘Activate Vector-To-Final’—which makes the inbound course to the final approach fix (FAF) waypoint active. Otherwise, activate the full approach using the ’Activate Approach?’ option.

To activate an approach
1) With an approach loaded in the active flight plan, press the PROC Key to display the Procedures Page.
2) Turn the large right knob to highlight ‘Activate Approach?’ and press the ENT Key.
The ‘Activate Vector-To-Final?’ option allows the pilot to activate the final course segment of the approach. This option assumes the pilot will receive vectors to the FAF and provides guidance to intercept the final course, before reaching the FAF.
A selected approach may be activated or loaded. Activating the approach overrides the ‘ENROUTE’ portion of the active flight plan, proceeding directly to the ‘APPROACH’ portion (for a full approach, directly to the initial approach fix). Activating the approach also initiates automatic CDI scaling transition as the approach progresses. In many cases, it may be easiest to ‘Load’ the full approach while still some distance away, ENROUTE to the destination airport. 33

35. Garmin 430w Guidelines for Flying an Approach
Due to the variety of available approach procedures, the specific steps required will vary according to the approach selected. Keep the following general guidelines in mind while flying the approach:
• The pilot will typically select the destination airport as the last waypoint in the active flight plan or using the Direct-to Key. Doing so ensures that the desired waypoint will automatically appear when choosing the ‘Select Approach?’ option from the Procedures Page. (Otherwise, first choose the airport, then the approach procedure.)
• When a localizer-based approach (such as an ILS) is loaded, the desired frequency is automatically placed in standby on the VLOC window. To
activate the frequency, press the VLOC Flip-flop Key.
• If the VLOC receiver will be used for the approach, be sure to switch the external CDI (or HSI) to ‘VLOC’ by pressing the CDI Key (‘VLOC’ will
appear directly above the CDI Key;
• An ‘Auto ILS CDI’ setting provides automatic switching to ‘VLOC’ once established inbound on the final course segment of an approach.
• As the aircraft progresses to each approach waypoint, a waypoint alert message (‘NEXT DTK XX XX XXº’) will appear in the lower right corner of the display
• When the pilot should begin a course change (via a standard rate turn), turn advisories (‘TURN TO XX XX XXº’) will appear in the lower right corner of the display
• For GPS-based approaches, receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) will monitor satellite conditions and alert the pilot using an ‘INTEG’ or ‘WARN’ annunciation at the bottom left corner of the display. if protection limits cannot be maintained. If this occurs, the GPS receiver should not be used for primary navigation guidance. Revert to an alternate navigation source, or select an alternate destination airport.
• Within 30 nautical miles of the destination airport, CDI scaling will transition from 5.0 nautical miles (ENROUTE mode, ‘ENR’) to 1.0 nautical mile (terminal mode, ‘TERM’) or when leaving the departure airport, from 1.0 nm to 5.0 nm. Within 2.0 nautical miles of the final approach fix, GPS based approaches will see a second transition from 1.0 nautical mile to 0.3 nautical mile (approach mode, ‘APR’).
• A ‘START PROC TRN’ prompt will appear in the lower right corner of the display to advise the pilot when the aircraft is at a safe distance to
initiate a procedure turn. The procedure turn is displayed on the Map Page, but guidance through the turn itself is not provided.
• Alerts for proper holding pattern entry (e.g.’ HOLD DIRECT’) are displayed in the lower right corner of the display. Waypoint sequencing is automatically suspended (indicated by ‘SUSP directly above the OBS Key) at the holding waypoint. Press the OBS Key again to return to automatic waypoint sequencing. For course reversals, waypoint sequencing is suspended for one trip around the holding pattern only (after which it will return to automatic waypoint sequencing).
• The CDI will guide the pilot through a DME arc. Just keep the needle centered to fly along the arc. When using an autopilot, the course select on the CDI (or HSI) must be periodically updated with the desired track (DTK).
• When crossing the missed approach point, ‘SUSP’ will appear above the OBS Key, indicating that automatic sequencing of waypoint is suspended at the missed approach point, and a ‘from’ indication will appear on the CDI (or HSI). Due to the variety of available approach procedures, the specific steps required will vary according to the approach selected.

3) An alert message in the lower right-hand corner of the screen recommends entry procedures for the holding pattern (e.g., ‘HOLD TEARDROP’). When flying the holding pattern, a timer appears on the Default NAV Page. The timer automatically resets on the outbound side of
the hold when the aircraft turns abeam the hold waypoint. The timer again resets as the pilot turns inbound (within approximately 30°
of the inbound course). This allows use of standard timing (typically one minute) to fly the inbound and outbound legs of the hold.
The GNS 430 provides course guidance only on the inbound side of the holding pattern. When leaving the holding pattern to re-fly the approach (or another approach) press the PROC Key to ‘Select Approach?’ or ‘Activate Approach?’ as previously described. (Or, use the Direct-to Key to select another destination.)
1) Press the OBS Key.
2) An alert message in the lower right-hand corner of the screen recommends entry procedures for the holding pattern (e.g., ‘HOLD TEARDROP’). When flying the holding pattern, a timer appears on the Default NAV Page. 37

Guidelines for Flying an Approach
Due to the variety of available approach procedures, the specific steps required will vary according to the approach selected. Keep the following general guidelines in mind while flying the approach:
• The pilot will typically select the destination airport as the last waypoint in the active flight plan or using the Direct-to Key. Doing so ensures that the desired waypoint will automatically appear when choosing the ‘Select Approach?’ option from the Procedures Page. (Otherwise, first choose the airport, then the approach procedure.)
• When a localizer-based approach (such as an ILS) is loaded, the desired frequency is automatically placed in standby on the VLOC window. To
activate the frequency, press the VLOC Flip-flop Key.
• If the VLOC receiver will be used for the approach, be sure to switch the external CDI (or HSI) to ‘VLOC’ by pressing the CDI Key (‘VLOC’ will
appear directly above the CDI Key;
• An ‘Auto ILS CDI’ setting provides automatic switching to ‘VLOC’ once established inbound on the final course segment of an approach.
• As the aircraft progresses to each approach waypoint, a waypoint alert message (‘NEXT DTK XX XX XXº’) will appear in the lower right corner of the display
• When the pilot should begin a course change (via a standard rate turn), turn advisories (‘TURN TO XX XX XXº’) will appear in the lower right corner of the display
• For GPS-based approaches, receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) will monitor satellite conditions and alert the pilot using an ‘INTEG’ or ‘WARN’ annunciation at the bottom left corner of the display. if protection limits cannot be maintained. If this occurs, the GPS receiver should not be used for primary navigation guidance. Revert to an alternate navigation source, or select an alternate destination airport.
• Within 30 nautical miles of the destination airport, CDI scaling will transition from 5.0 nautical miles (ENROUTE mode, ‘ENR’) to 1.0 nautical mile (terminal mode, ‘TERM’) or when leaving the departure airport, from 1.0 nm to 5.0 nm. Within 2.0 nautical miles of the final approach fix, GPS based approaches will see a second transition from 1.0 nautical mile to 0.3 nautical mile (approach mode, ‘APR’).

Guidelines for Dead Reckoning
The ownship icon color is changed to yellow. The To/ From flag is removed from the CDI. The Dead Reckoning annunciator (DR) appears on the left side of the map display when GPS position is unavailable and the unit is in Dead Reckoning mode. All external outputs dependent on GPS position are flagged. Terrain will be noted as not available and new terrain advisory pop-ops will not occur. Traffic and Stormscope information will not be shown on the Map page, but will continue to be available on their own dedicated pages. XM weather will still be available on the Map page. Dead Reckoning mode will continue until GPS position is restored, when GPS navigation is restored Dead Reckoning mode is exited. The DR annunciations will be removed and GPS information will be used to compute navigation related information for the current flight phase.
Dead Reckoning is only allowed in En Route and Oceanic flight modes. If the unit is in a Terminal or Approach flight mode when Dead Reckoning takes place, “No GPS Position” will be displayed on the map pages and all navigation data will be dashed. If you are operating in Dead Reckoning mode and a transition to Terminal or Approach flight modes would occur from the projected Dead Reckoning position, Dead Reckoning mode will be discontinued. “No GPS Position” will be displayed on the map pages and all navigation data will be dashed.
Dead reckoning becomes active after a loss of GPS
position while you are navigating using an active flight plan. A pop-up message will appear and you must clear the message before continuing operation. 39

40. Conclusion on the G430W
When navigating with the buttons/knobs/switches and you need a quick return to the main NAV screen, press and hold the CLR for 2 seconds
If you twist, turn, press something then expect, anticipate, and see a given reaction some place on the Garmin panel
There are numerous short-cuts in using the Garmin, be proactive in learning them
Generally pressing a button twice, the action will sent you to the start of the source
