TM 1-1510-218-10
3B-47
GPS sensor. Below the
column labeled SAT appear
the numerical designations of
various satellites visible to the
GPs sensor. An asterisk to
the far left of the identifier
indicates that the GPS sensor
is not using the specific
satellite
in
its
position
solution. The SNR (signal to
noise ratio) column provides
signal strength information for
individual satellites. Typical
SNR values will be in the 30
to 55 range. The elevation
above the horizon is provided
by the ELE column. Elevation
is displayed in degrees and
will typically be in the range of
5" to 90°. The last column,
HLT, indicates the health
state of each satellite. Three
states
are
possible:
GD
(signal is good), WK (signal is
weak), and BD (signal is bad).
(9) GPS Restart Page. This page is used to
re-initialize (restart) the GPS sensor.
(a) Date Line (DATE). This line displays
the Greenwich date in the order of day-month-year.
(b) Time Line (GMT). This line displays
Greenwich Mean Time in hours and minutes.
(c) Waypoint Identifier Line (WPT ID).
The space after WPT ID: is a data entry field where
the present position waypoint identifier may be
entered.
(d) Latitude and Longitude Lines (POS.).
The latitude and longitude of the aircraft's resent
position, which has been derived from either their
position sensors or the waypoint identifier (WPT ID)
will be displayed here or may be manually entered
here.
(e) Mode
Line.
The
mode
field
(MODES)
allows
one
of
three
restart
modes:
NORMAL, COLD, or SEARCH SKY to be selected.
(f) Estimated Groundspeed Line (EST
GS). Estimated groundspeed is manually entered
here.
n. Data 2 Menu Page. The data 2 menu page
lists the actual data pages that can be selected from
its menu. Specific data pages are selected by entering
the corresponding menu number into the SEL MENU
ITEM: data field and pressing the ENTER key. They
may also be selected by placing the cursor over the
menu item and pressing the ENTER key.
(1) Navaid Page. This page is used to
display the frequency, type, class, elevation, magnetic
variation, latitude and longitude of a selected navaid.
If the selected navaid is contained in the data base,
the above information will be displayed when the
navaid identifier is inputted into the station identifier
field. A user-defined navaid is created by entering the
above data into their respective fields and approving
the page.
STA IDENT
Navaid identifier.
FREQ:
Navaid frequency or TACAN
channel depending on which
format is selected on the
waypoint
page.
When
TACAN channel is selected,
FREQ: will be replaced with
CHNL:.
TYPE> VORTAC
Displays the type of navaid.
Also used when a user navaid
is being defined, as a cyclic
field in conjunction with the
CLEAR key to choose the
type of navaid from among
the following choices: DME,
VOR/DME,
VORTAC,
TACAN, ILS/DME or VOR.
CLASS> HIGH
Displays the class of navaid.
Also used when a user navaid
is being defined. It is a cyclic
field and is modified with the
CLEAR key to choose the
class of navaid from the
following
choices:
LOW,
HIGH,
TERMINAL,
and
UNDEFINED.
ELEV: FT:
The elevation (to the nearest
10 feet) of the navaid being
displayed or defined.
MAG VAR:
The
published
magnetic
variation in degrees of the
navaid being displayed or
defined.
LAT: LON:
The position of the navaid in
latitude and longitude.
APPROVE?
A cursor field used to approve
a user defined navaid.
