NOTE
Aircraft must be connected to a
ground
power
unit
if
INS
alignment is performed prior to
engine starting. In this event, the
engines must not be started until
after the INS is placed in the NAV
mode.
1. Applicable circuit breakers Check
depressed.
2. INS Mode selector (MSU) ALIGN.
Confirm following:
a. (CDU) FROM-TO display indicates
"1 2".
b. (CDU)
INSERT/ADVANCE
pushbutton light illuminates.
c. (CDU) BAT lamp illuminates for
approx.
12
seconds,
then
extinguishes when in alignment
state 8.
NOTE
Avoid passenger or cargo loading
or any activity which may cause
aircraft to change position or
attitude during alignment. If
aircraft
is
moved
during
alignment, it will be necessary to
restart alignment by setting the
mode selector to STBY, then back
to ALIGN and reinserting present
position data.
3. (CDU) DIM knob Adjust for optimum
brightness of CDU displays.
4. (CDU) AUTO/MAN/TEST switch
AUTO.
5. (CDU) Data selector L/L POS or
UTM POS, as desired.
(Observe coordinates of last present position prior to
INS shutdown appear in data displays.) NOTE The
stored heading procedure should have been performed
within the last week.
6. Perform recommended stored
heading
alignment
preflight
procedure:
a. Appropriate
circuit
breakers
Depress
(including
those
for
magnetic compass system.)
b. (MSU) Mode selector NAV.
(Observe (CDU) FROM-TO display indicates "1 2",
and INSERT/ADVANCE pushbutton illuminates.)
NOTE
Aircraft must not be towed or
taxied
during
INS
alignment.
Movement of this type during
alignment causes large navigation
errors. If aircraft is moved during
alignment, restart alignment by
setting mode selector to STBY,
then
back
to
ALIGN
and
reinserting present position.
Passenger or cargo loading in the aircraft could
cause the type of motion which affects the accuracy of
alignment. Any activity which causes the aircraft to
change attitude shall be avoided during the alignment
period.
c. (CDU)
DIM
knob
Adjust
for
maximum
brightness
of
CDU
displays.
d. (CDU)
AUTO/MAN/TEST
switch
AUTO.
e. (CDU) Data selector UL POS or
UTM POS.
(Observe coordinates of last present position prior to
INS turn-off appear in data displays.)
f. (CDU)
AUTO/MAN/TEST
switch
Press and hold for test. Confirm
following on CDU:
(Left and right data displays indicate "88°88.8 N/S"
and "88°88.8 E/W" respectively.)
(FROM-TO display indicates "8.8".)
(The following pushbuttons and lamps illuminate:
ROLL LIM, HOLD, INSERT/ADVANCE, WYPT CHG,
ALERT, BAT (on CDU and MSU), WARN, and READY
NAV.)
g. (CDU)
AUTO/MAN/TEST
switch
Release. Confirm following:
(Data displays indicate coordinates in computer
memory; all lamps and pushbuttons illuminated in Step
F except INSERT/ADVANCE pushbutton light go out.)
h. If UTM coordinates are to be used
Verify
that
appropriate
Grid
coefficients have been loaded.
