TM 1-1510-218-10
3B-46
DME 2 NM
Indicates
that
valid
DME
distance is not being received
from a second station. The
system is therefore providing
rho-theta (angle provided by
the VOR and distance from
the DME) navigation data.
DME 2 REC
When
valid
DME
data
is
received from a second DME
station,
this
area
displays
REC,
the
identifier
and
frequency
of
the
station
utilized,
and
the
aircraft's
distance
from
the
station.
Under these conditions, the
system is providing rho-rho
navigation data.
When the system is providing rho-rho navigation
it is not unusual for the VOR station identifier to be
different from either of the DME station identifiers. It is
also possible under valid rho-rho conditions for the
VOR data to be blanked or flagged. It is normal during
rho-rho operation for the DME stations to temporarily
flag due to recalculation of optimum station pair.
(7) TACAN Status Page. The TACAN status
page may be monitored to view the status of the
TACAN stations being used by the system.
TACAN REC
Indicates valid (not fl agged)
TACAN bearing information is
being received. The TACAN
channel and radial the aircraft
is on will display.
DME 1 REC
Indicates valid (not flagged)
DME distance information is
being received. Frequency
and
DME
distance
will
display.
DME 2 NM
Indicates
that
valid
DME
distance is not being received
from a second station. The
system is therefore providing
rho-theta navigation data.
DME 2 REC
When
valid
DME
data
is
received from a second DME
station
this
area
displays
REC, the identifier and paired
VHF frequency of the station
utilized,
and
the
aircraft's
distance
from
the
station.
Under these conditions, the
system is providing rho-rho
navigation data. When the
system is providing rho-rho
navigation
the
TACAN
bearing data is dashed out.
(8) GPS Status Page. The GPS STATUS
page is used to monitor the status of the GPS sensor.
(a) State Line. The STATE line indicates
the status of the GPS sensor. The GPS sensor may
be in any one of the following states:
INIT
In the process of initialization.
STS
In the process of searching
the sky.
ACQ
In the process of acquiring
satellites.
TRN
Transitioning
between
acquisition
(ACQ)
and
navigation (NAV) modes.
NAV
In the navigation mode.
NAV DAT
In
the
process
of
data
collection.
WARN
Degraded position information
is being supplied.
FAIL CPU
CPU or 429 receiver has
failed (catastrophic).
FAIL MEM
Memory
has
failed
(catastrophic).
FAIL REC
Receiver hardware has failed
(catastrophic).
EPE
The estimated position error
for
the
GPS
sensor
is
displayed on this line. It is in
units
of
feet
rather
than
nautical miles due to the
higher
accuracy
available
from the GPS system.
RESTART?
This field will appear if the
GPS sensor is in an INIT,
STA, ACQ, TRN, FAIL CPU,
FAIL MEM, or FAIL REC
state. Moving the cursor over
this field when it appears and
pressing the ENTER key will
cause the GPS RESTART
page to be displayed.
SAT SNR ELE
HLT
This area of the GPS status
page provides information on
up to eight of the NAVSTAR
GPS satellites visible to the
