the current state of receiver tracking.
(c) GPS Receiver Autonomous Integrity
Monitoring (RAIM). The FMS-800 provides the crew
access to a page providing the RAIM control/predictive
RAIM for the active GPS receiver. Selecting the RAIM
line key on the GPS INAV page, Figure 3B -116 and
Table 3B -79 accesses these pages.

Destination of interest for RAIM.
The FMS-800 provides an active RAIM solution
at present position. By tracking GPS satellite state-of-
health and orbital geometry, the FMS-800 is capable
of determining when the GPS navigation solution is
degraded or suspect due to satellite failures. If the
GPS receiver is unable to provide a RAIM solution due
to satellite tracking problems or problems with the
satellite
constellation
geometry,
a
No
RAIM
annunciation is shown to inform the crew of the
absence of RAIM protection. During a NO RAIM
period,
the
GPS
navigation
solution
may
be
acceptable but the integrity of that solution will be
indeterminate. During normal GPS navigation with an
active RAIM solution, if the GPS receiver determines
that there is an inconsistency in the GPS navigation
solution, a RAIM alert will be provided to inform the
crew of a degraded GPS navigation solution. When
an alert is indicated, the crew should compare the
GPS based navigation solution with other available
sensors (INU, TACAN, and VOR/DME) to ensure the
GPS
navigational
accuracy
is
acceptable.
If
unacceptable, select a non-GPS based navigation
solution on the lateral steer page, Figure 3B-116, until
the integrity of the GPS navigation solution is restored.
The current state of the GPS RAIM solution is
provided on the Primary GPS INAV page as follows:
1. NO RAIM when RAIM processing
is unavailable.
2. RAIM ACT when RAIM processing
is
actively
performing
integrity
checks.
3. RAIM
WRN
when
RAIM
has
detected an inconsistency.
The line select key next to RAIM on the
RAIM/prediction page will enable or disable the RAIM
annunciations. When
OFF is selected, RAIM
annunciations are inhibited and the pilot advisories
regarding GPS integrity performance will be only
available on the GPS INAV page. RAIM annunciations
should only be disabled if a failure is suspected in the
GPS
receiver
causing
nuisance
annunciations.
Annunciations
will
be
automatically
re-enabled
whenever the FMS is powered on or enters the
terminal area.
To request the availability of approach RAIM at a
destination airport, first enter the identifier of the airport
in the top line of the RAIM/PREDICTION page. Then
enter the Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) in UTC.
After performing the predicted calculation, the FMS-
800 will display the availability of approach RAIM on
the page information line. This availability applies to a
period from 15 minutes prior to the entered ETA until
15 minutes after the ETA. A predictive RAIM solution
only provides an indication of the availability of RAIM
protection that is expected at the destination based on
