Table 1 – GTN Functions

The GPS navigation functions and optional VHF communication and navigation

radio functions are operated by dedicated hard keys, a dual concentric rotary

knob, or the touchscreen.

The GTN requires a reasonable degree of familiarity to avoid becoming too

engrossed at the expense of basic see-and-avoid in VMC. Garmin provides

training tools with the Pilot’s Guide and PC-based simulator. Pilots should take

full advantage of these training tools to enhance system familiarization.

that is installed in the rotorcraft. Do not use this RFMS revision

if the installation has a software version less than that shown in

the table above.

2.3 MMC / SD Database Card

It is required that the SD database card or Flight Stream 510 (MMC) be present

in the unit at all times. The SD card or MMC device must not be removed or

inserted during flight and/or while the GTN is powered on.

NOTE

Removal of the SD card or MMC device will result in certain

features/databases not being available and/or slow system

performance.

2.4 Ground Operations

SafeTaxi or ChartView functions shall not be used as the sole basis for ground

maneuvering.

SafeTaxi and ChartView functions do not comply with the requirements of

AC 20-159 and are not qualified to be used as an airport moving map display

(AMMD). SafeTaxi and ChartView may be used by the flight crew to orient

themselves on the airport surface to improve flight crew situational awareness

during ground operations.

2.5 Terrain Proximity Function (All Units)

Aircraft maneuvers and navigation shall not be predicated upon the use of the

terrain display.


FAA APPROVED of 34

The terrain display is intended to assist the pilot with maintaining awareness of

the proximity of terrain, obstacles, and wires to the rotorcraft. By itself, the

terrain display may not provide either the accuracy or the fidelity on which to

base decisions and plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or wires.

2.6 HTAWS Function (Optional)

HTAWS shall not be used for navigation purposes.

HTAWS shall only be inhibited when in visual contact with terrain and when

the pilot can be assured of maintaining clearance from terrain, obstacles, and

wires.

RP mode shall only be used when in visual contact with terrain.

External HTAWS annunciators installed in the aircraft shall be fully functional

in order to use the HTAWS system.

NOTE

Terrain Proximity and HTAWS are separate features and

mutually exclusive. If “HTAWS” is shown on the bottom-

right of the dedicated Terrain page, then HTAWS is installed.

2.7 Data Link Weather Display (Optional)

This limitation applies to data link weather products from SiriusXM via a GDL

69/69A, FIS-B via a GDL 88H or GTX 345, and Connext via a GSR 56.

Data link weather information shall not be used for maneuvering in, near, or

around areas of hazardous weather.

The indicated data link weather product age shall not be used to determine the

age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product.

Information provided by data link weather products may not accurately depict

current weather conditions. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and

processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information

shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the

indicated weather product age.

Data link services shall not be the sole means used to obtain Temporary Flight

Restriction (TFR) or Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information. Not all TFRs

and NOTAMS may be available on the GTN.

Data link text weather is decoded for the convenience of the pilot; however, it is

possible that the decoding may be affected by anomalies in the data or

differences in the units of measure between the decoding system and the text

weather source. All text weather displayed on the GTN also includes the raw

weather text for pilot review.

2.8 Traffic Display (Optional)

The display of traffic is an aid to visual acquisition and shall not be utilized for

aircraft maneuvering.


of 34 FAA APPROVED

Traffic is displayed in feet regardless of the unit settings for altitude. If the units

for altitude are different than feet, a “FT” label will appear on the traffic icon on

and main map page, and the dedicated traffic page will include an “ALT IN FT”

notification.

2.9 Flight Planner/Calculator Functions

The Fuel Planning page shall not be used to determine actual fuel on board the

aircraft.

2.10 Glove Use / Covered Fingers

No article shall cover fingers used to operate the GTN unless the Glove

2.11 Demo Mode

Demo mode shall not be used in flight under any circumstances.

2.12 Telephone Audio

Telephone audio shall not be turned on to the pilot or co-pilot unless a phone

call is active.

Failure to turn off telephone audio when the telephone is not in use may result in

telephone ringer or text message aural notifications being received during

critical phases of flight.

2.13 Polar Operations

Operating the GTN for primary navigation for latitudes above 89.00° N and

below 89.00° S is prohibited.

2.14 Fuel Range Rings

The fuel range rings displayed on the moving map are intended for situational

awareness and shall not be used as the means to determine the range of the

aircraft.

2.15 Personal Electronic Devices

This STC does not relieve the operator from complying with the requirements of

91.21 or any other operational regulation regarding portable electronic devices.

The Flight Stream interface and data provided to a portable electronic device is

not approved to replace any aircraft display equipment, including navigation or

FAA APPROVED of 34

2.16 Database Updates

Database updates via MMC / SD card or Flight Stream wireless transfers must

be done while the rotorcraft is on the ground and stationary. In-flight database

transfers or updates are prohibited during flight unless part of the Database

SYNC function that occurs in the background to move databases from one LRU

to another.

2.17 Charts Database (Dual GTN 7XXs)

When the rotorcraft installation includes two GTNs capable of displaying charts

(e.g., GTN 700, 725, or 750) and crossfill is enabled between the GTNs, the

GTNs must have identical charts types (i.e., ChartView or FliteCharts) and

charts cycles installed. Failure to have identical charts could affect the chart

lookup features and automatic chart selection.

2.18 OBS Mode

Use of OBS mode for flight plan segments greater than 250NM is prohibited.

OBS mode is not available between the FAF and MAP of any instrument

approach.

2.19 Advisory Visual Approaches

Advisory visual approaches are intended to be used as an aid to situational

awareness and do not guarantee terrain or obstruction clearance along the

approach path.


of 34 FAA APPROVED

SECTION 3 NORMAL PROCEDURES

Refer to the Cockpit Reference Guide or the Pilot’s Guide defined in SECTION

7 of this document for normal operating procedures and a complete list of

system messages and associated flight crew actions. This includes all GPS

3.5 Database Conflict Resolution

When a conflict occurs between databases on different GTNs that are

utilizing Database SYNC the pilot should resolve that conflict by pressing

the “Resolve Conflict” button on the GTN that has the desired databases.

This would be the GTN with the newest database on the SD card or Flight

Stream 510. After initiating the conflict resolution, the pilot can view the

SYNC status of the database on the other GTN by viewing the System >


FAA APPROVED of 34

Standby Database page. Once the database SYNC is complete, the

receiving GTN must be restarted to install the new database and complete

the conflict resolution process.

NOTE

The databases on the receiving LRU will be overwritten by the

databases from the LRU from which the “Resolve Conflicts”

action was initiated.

3.6 Cold Weather Compensation

The GTN can compute altitudes for cold weather compensation for applicable

approach procedures. If the instrument approach chart requires temperature

compensation, the pilot should enter the destination airport temperature into the

GTN. Approach altitudes provided on the map and flight plan are adjusted based

on the pilot-entered temperature and the altitudes on the Flight Plan page are

appended with a snowflake.

SECTION 4 EMERGENCY / MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES

4.1 Emergency Procedure

No change.

4.2 Abnormal Procedures

4.2.1 HTAWS WARNING

Red annunciator and aural “TERRAIN”, “OBSTACLE”, or “WIRE”:

Aircraft Controls ......................................... INITIATE ESCAPE MANUEVER

4.2.2 HTAWS CAUTION

Yellow annunciator and aural “TERRAIN”, “OBSTACLE”, or “WIRE”:

VERIFY THE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PATH

AND CORRECT, IF REQUIRED.

NOTE

TAWS annunciators external to the GTN may not indicate the

exact threat causing the alert. Example: WIRE alerts may be

annunciated as “TERR” or “OBSTACLE” on external

devices.

4.2.3 HTAWS N/A and HTAWS FAIL

If the amber external “HTAWS N/A” status annunciator is displayed, the system

will no longer provide HTAWS alerting or display relative terrain and obstacle

elevations. The crew must operate the aircraft in a manner to ensure minimum

safe terrain and obstacle separation.


of 34 FAA APPROVED

4.2.4 LOSS OF GPS/SBAS NAVIGATION DATA

When the GPS/SBAS receiver is inoperative or GPS navigation information is

not available or invalid, the GTN will enter one of two modes: Dead Reckoning

mode (DR) or Loss of Integrity mode (LOI). The mode is indicated on the GTN

by an amber “DR” or “LOI”.

If the Loss of Integrity annunciation is displayed, revert to an alternate means of

navigation appropriate to the route and phase of flight.

If the Dead Reckoning annunciation is displayed, the map will continue to be

displayed with an amber “DR” overwriting the ownship icon. Course guidance

will be removed on the CDI. Aircraft position will be based upon the last valid

GPS position, then estimated by Dead Reckoning methods. Changes in true

airspeed, altitude, heading, or winds aloft can affect the estimated position

substantially. Dead Reckoning is only available in En Route and Oceanic

modes. Terminal and Approach modes do not support Dead Reckoning.

If Alternate Navigation Sources (ILS, LOC, VOR, DME, ADF) Are

Available:

Navigation ......................................................... USE ALTERNATE SOURCES

NOTE

All information derived from GPS will be removed.

NOTE

The ownship symbol is removed from all maps. The map will

remain centered at the last known position. “NO GPS

POSITION” will be annunciated in the center of the map.

4.2.5 LOSS OF COM RADIO TUNING FUNCTIONS

If alternate COM is available:

Communications ........................................................ USE ALTERNATE COM

If no alternate COM is available:

GTN VOLUME KNOB .......................PRESS AND HOLD FOR 2 SECONDS

OR

COM Remote Transfer Button ............PRESS AND HOLD FOR 2 SECONDS

NOTE

This procedure will tune the active COM radio to the

emergency frequency, 121.5, regardless of what frequency is

displayed on the GTN. Certain failures of the tuning system

will automatically tune 121.5 without flight crew action.

4.2.6 LOSS OF AUDIO PANEL FUNCTIONS (GMA 35 Only)

Audio Panel Circuit Breaker ........................................................................ PULL


FAA APPROVED of 34

NOTE

This procedure will force the audio panel into Fail Safe mode,

which provides only the pilot with communications and only

on a single COM radio. If any non-GTN 750 COM is

installed, communication will be only on that radio. If only a

GTN 750 is installed in the aircraft, then the pilot will only

have the GTN 750 COM available. No other audio panel

functions, including the crew and passenger intercom, will

function.

4.2.7 DATA SOURCE - HEADING SOURCE INOPERATIVE OR

CONNECTION TO GTN LOST MESSAGE

Without a heading source to the GTN, the following system limitations will be

imposed:

• Map cannot be oriented to Heading Up.

• Overlaying traffic data from a TAS/TCAS I or Garmin ADS-B In unit

interfaced to an on board traffic system will not be displayed on the

main map display. The flight crew must use the dedicated traffic page

on the GTN system to display TAS/TCAS I or Garmin ADS-B In

traffic data.

4.2.8 DATA SOURCE – PRESSURE ALTITUDE SOURCE

INOPERATIVE OR CONNECTION TO GTN LOST MESSAGE

If the GTN is being used to forward altitude to a transponder, the transponder

will not be receiving pressure altitude from the GTN while that message is

present.

4.2.9 IN-AIR RESTART OF GTN

In the event of a GTN restart in the air, the crew should utilize the CANCEL

button if presented with the database update screen after the GTN is restarted.

This will ensure restoration of the navigation functions as soon as possible.

4.2.10 BARO-ALT INPUT FAILURE

Barometric altitude is required for descent VNAV functionality and automatic

sequencing of altitude terminated legs. If BARO altitude input to the GTN has

failed, en route barometric VNAV will not be available. The pilot will also be

required to manually sequence any altitude terminated legs.

4.2.11 TEMPERATURE INPUT FAILURE

Temperature input is required for the VNAV Transition to Approach

functionality. In the event of a temperature input failure, VNAV Transition to

Approach should be disregarded. The crew must ensure that vertical guidance

from descent VNAV to approach guidance is appropriate and that if an autopilot

is in use, the crew intercepts the approach vertical guidance from below.

listed below contain additional information regarding GTN system description,

control, and function. The pilot’s guides do not need to be immediately

available to the flight crew.

GTN 6XX Pilot’s Guide P/N 190-01004-03 Rev P or later

GTN 7XX Pilot’s Guide P/N 190-01007-03 Rev R or later

7.2 Power

Power to the GTN is provided through a circuit breaker labeled “GPS” or

“NAV/GPS”. If more than one GPS or NAV is installed, then the label will have

a 1 or 2 to designate the unit receiving power.

Power to the optional GTN COM is provided through a circuit breaker labeled

“COM”. If more than one COM is installed, then the label will also have a

number to designate the unit receiving power.

Power to the optional GMA 35 is provided through a circuit breaker labeled

“AUDIO”.

7.3 Power to the optional Flight Stream 510 is provided through the GTN

MMC / SD card slot and protected via the GTN circuit breaker. Lighting

Controls

Control of the GTN backlight and bezel may be provided by either the built-in

photocell or via the aircraft instrument dimmer switch. For this installation,

dimming of the GTN is controlled by:

The GTN photocell.

The aircraft instrument dimmer switch.

If installed, the external HTAWS status annunciator is dimmed via a dedicated

HTAWS bright/dim switch. The HTAWS WARN/CAUTION annunciator can

be operated at two fixed brightness levels as controlled by the aircraft

BRIGHT/DIM switch.

7.4 GMA 35 Audio Panel (Optional)

The GTN 725/750 can interface to a GMA 35 remotely mounted audio panel

and marker beacon receiver. Controls for listening to various radios, clearance

playback control, and marker beacon are accessed by pressing the Audio Panel

button on the GTN display screen. Optional Bluetooth pairing functionality can

be accessed from the associated System /Connext Setup page (GMA 35c only).

Volume controls for the audio panel, telephone, and music are accessed by

pressing the Intercom button on the GTN display screen.

If an optional GSR 56 is installed, when an incoming phone call is received, it is

necessary to turn on the telephone audio to desired recipients. Press the

Intercom button on the GTN display screen, then press the Telephone button,

and then press the buttons for those who will participate in the call. Telephone


of 34

volume can be adjusted using the controls on this page. Upon completion of the

call, turn off the telephone audio by pressing the Intercom button on the GTN

display screen, then pressing the Telephone button, and then turning off each

participant. Telephone volume settings control both the in-call volume as well as

the ringer volume.

The GMA 35 can operate in split mode, which allows the pilot to communicate

on one COM while the co-pilot simultaneously communicates on a second

COM. When split mode is activated, intercom distribution between pilot,

co-pilot and passengers is turned off. Upon exiting split mode, intercom

distribution is restored to the settings active prior to entering split mode.

7.5 TERRAIN PROXIMITY

Terrain Proximity refers to the display of terrain information and comprises of a

two-dimensional picture of the surrounding terrain and obstacles relative to the

position and altitude of the rotorcraft; however, it does not provide any alerts.

Relative terrain elevation is depicted using a five-color scale in which terrain

that is at or above the helicopter’s current altitude is depicted in orange and red,

while terrain within 250 feet of the helicopter’s current altitude is shown in

yellow.

Obstacles (including wire segments) on the dedicated terrain page or main map

are depicted in the following manner:

• Lines and obstacles more than 500 feet below the helicopter are not

depicted.

• Lines and obstacles between 500 feet and 250 feet below the helicopter

are depicted as white.

• Lines and obstacles between 250 feet below and at the same GPS

altitude of the helicopter are depicted as amber.

• Lines and obstacles at the same altitude or above the helicopter are

depicted as red.

CAUTION

Due to the length of wires and removal of any line more than

500 feet below the aircraft, it is expected that long wires will

appear/disappear in segments as the aircraft transitions above/below

a relative altitude of 500 feet above the wire.

The Terrain page scale depicts the terrain scale but does not depict the obstacle

scale.

CAUTION

Not all obstacles and wires are contained in the Obstacle/HOT

database. The system provides depiction only for obstacles and

wires contained in the database. Alerts are only provided for

obstacles and wires contained in the database if HTAWS is

installed.


of 34

NOTE

Terrain Proximity and HTAWS are separate features. If “HTAWS”

is shown on the bottom-right of the dedicated terrain page, then

HTAWS is installed.

Multiple obstacles may be depicted using a single obstacle icon and an asterisk

to indicate obstacle grouping is occurring. The color of the asterisk indicates the

relative altitude of the tallest obstacle in the group. The asterisk does not

indicate any information about the relative altitude or number of obstacles not

being displayed in the group.

The Garmin GTN 6XX or 7XX Cockpit Reference Guide or Garmin GTN 6XX

or 7XX Pilot’s Guide provides additional information regarding terrain and

obstacle colors and grouped obstacle icons.

7.6 HTAWS and Terrain Alerting

The GTN can include an optional Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning

System (HTAWS) that includes visual depictions of terrain and obstacles

relative to helicopter altitude as well as visual and aural alerts if terrain or

obstacles are a threat to the safe flight of the helicopter. The GTN can also

provide Terrain Proximity without alerts or Terrain Alerting with alerts.

This installation provides Terrain Proximity. No aural or visual alerts

for terrain or obstacles are provided.

This installation provides Terrain Alerting. Aural and visual alerts are

provided. Terrain Alerting does not meet the requirements of TSO-

C194. This installation provides HTAWS. Aural and visual alerts will be

provided.

HTAWS is an alerting system. The system does not guarantee successful

recovery from a conflict due to factors such as pilot response, aircraft

performance, and database limitations. No standardized recovery technique is

defined as recovery maneuvers may vary. HTAWS protection is provided at

groundspeeds above 30 knots.

The Obstacle database contains only KNOWN obstacles and wires and does not

contain ALL existing obstacles or wires that may pose a threat to the helicopter.

HTAWS aurals may be selected to be in Male or Female voice. Selecting the

voice gender is accomplished using Audio button under the Systems page.

HTAWS also includes pilot selectable Voice Callouts (VCOs) of helicopter

height above terrain from 500 feet AGL to the surface.

If HTAWS is not installed, then the GTN will provide Terrain Proximity

functions that only provide visual depictions of terrain and obstacles on the Map

page but provides no alerting or VCOs.


of 34

7.6.1 TERRAIN AND OBSTACLE DEPICTION

Terrain and obstacle elevations relative to aircraft altitude are depicted on the

Terrain page and may also be selected by the pilot for display on the Map page.

Refer to 7.5 for additional information on terrain, obstacle, and wire depiction.

7.6.2 HTAWS NORMAL MODE

The GTN will power on with HTAWS in Normal mode. Normal mode provides

for separation from terrain and obstacles appropriate for en route, night, and

operations where the pilot is not in visual contact with terrain.

7.6.3 HTAWS REDUCED PROTECTION MODE

The RP Mode menu selection on the Terrain page is used to activate the

Reduced Protection (RP) functionality. RP mode reduces alerting thresholds and

suppresses aural and visual cautions to allow operation in closer proximity to

terrain, obstacles, and wires while continuing to provide protection from terrain

and obstacles. An optional RP Mode external switch installation on the

instrument panel is allowed to toggle Reduced Protection mode in the same

manner as using the Terrain menu selection.

7.6.4 HTAWS INHIBIT

The Inhibit menu on the Terrain page is used to inhibit visual and aural

HTAWS terrain, obstacle, and wire alerts. VCOs will still be provided. HTAWS

shall only be inhibited if the pilot is certain of the ability to maintain separation

from terrain and obstacles.

NOTE

Operators wishing to intentionally fly beneath wires without

creating wire alerts must inhibit HTAWS.

7.6.5 HTAWS TEST

The HTAWS Test menu selection on the Terrain page is used to activate a

manual test that verifies proper operation of the aural and visual annunciations

of the system. The aural message “HTAWS System Test, OK” is played if the

system passes the test; if the system fails the test, “HTAWS System Failure” is

played. HTAWS test is only available while on the ground.

7.6.6 VOICE CALL OUTS

Voice callouts (VCOs) provide voice annunciation of the aircraft height above

terrain when that altitude is descended through. VCOs may be enabled by the

pilot in 100-foot increments from 500 feet above ground level to the surface. If a

radar altimeter is interfaced with the GTN, then VCOs are provided based on

radar altitude and an additional VCO is provided at 50 feet above ground. If no

radar altimeter is interfaced with the GTN, then VCOs are provided based on

GPS altitude above terrain and no 50-foot call is available. Selecting the altitude

above ground at which VCOs begin is accomplished using the Audio button

under the Systems page.


of 34

7.6.7 ALERT ACKNOWLEGE

The Alert Acknowledge function is used to mute an active HTAWS caution or

when operating in RP mode to muffle an active HTAWS warning. Muting of a

caution will last for the duration of the caution alert. Muffling of an RP mode

warning will last 10 seconds at which time the pilot may elect to re-muffle the

alert.

7.6.8 HTAWS ANNUNCIATORS

When HTAWS is installed, HTAWS mode and status annunciations are

provided at the lower-left corner of the HTAWS enabled GTN unit. In addition,

HTAWS mode and alert annunciators external to the GTN will be present.

If an optional G500H or G500H TXi system is installed in the helicopter, then

all HTAWS mode and status annunciators from the GTN will be provided on the

primary flight display of the G500H or G500H TXi.

If no G500H or G500H TXi system is installed, then two HTAWS mode and

status annunciators from the GTN will be installed in the eyebrow panel

adjacent to the aircraft annunciator panel. One annunciator provides visual alerts

for HTAWS warning (red) and caution (yellow) conditions. The second

annunciator indicates whether HTAWS protection is being provided by means

of a dual color HTAWS N/A indication. When “HTAWS N/A” is illuminated in

amber HTAWS protection is not being provided as the result of either a system

failure or loss of a required input. When “HTAWS N/A” is illuminated in white,

HTAWS protection is not being provided as the result of either automatic

inhibiting below 30 knots groundspeed or pilot inhibiting of HTAWS alerting.

7.7 Traffic System (Optional)

Traffic may be displayed on the GTN when connected to an approved optional

TCAS I, TAS, ADS-B, or TIS traffic device. These systems are capable of

providing traffic monitoring and alerting to the flight crew. Traffic shown on the

display may or may not have traffic alerting available.

This system is configured for the following type of traffic system. The Garmin

GTN 6XX or 7XX Cockpit Reference Guide or Garmin GTN 6XX or 7XX

Pilot’s Guide provides additional information regarding the functionality of the

traffic device.

No traffic system is interfaced to the GTN.

A TAS/TCAS I traffic system is interfaced to the GTN.

A TIS traffic system is interfaced to the GTN.

A TCAD traffic system is interfaced to the GTN.

A Garmin ADS-B traffic system is interfaced to the GTN. A Garmin ADS-B traffic system is interfaced to the GTN. The ADS-B

traffic system is also interfaced to an on-board traffic system.


of 34

7.8 Garmin ADS-B Traffic System Interface (Optional)

A Garmin ADS-B traffic system may be interfaced to the GTN. The nose of the

ownship symbol on both the GTN main map page and dedicated traffic page

serves as the actual location of your aircraft. The center of the traffic target icon

serves as the reported location for the target aircraft. Motion vectors for traffic

may be displayed in either absolute or relative motion. The location of the traffic

targets relative to the ownship are the same, regardless of the selected motion

vector.

Absolute motion vectors are colored either cyan or white, depending on unit

configuration. Absolute motion vectors depict the reported track of the traffic

target referenced to the ground. An absolute motion vector pointed towards your

ownship symbol does not necessarily mean the traffic target is getting closer to

your aircraft.

Relative motion vectors are always colored green and depict the motion of the

traffic target relative to your ownship symbol. The direction the traffic target is

pointed may vary greatly from the motion vector and a target may be getting

closer to your aircraft independent of the direction the target is pointed. A green

relative motion vector pointed towards your ownship indicates that the traffic

target is converging on your aircraft.

If more than one target is occupying the same area of the screen, the GTN will

combine the two or more traffic targets into one traffic group. The presence of

an asterisk to the left of a target indicates that traffic has been grouped. The

highest priority traffic target in the group is displayed to the pilot. When applied

to airborne targets the asterisk will be displayed in white or cyan depending on

the traffic depiction color used in the installation. The asterisk will be brown for

grouped ground targets. The asterisk will not turn amber, even if an alerted

target is included in the group.

An alerted target may be placed in the same group as non-alerted targets. In this

case, the alerted target will be displayed. Two alerted targets will not be placed

in the same group. All alerted targets will be displayed on the screen.

Traffic targets displayed on the dedicated traffic page may be selected in order

to obtain additional information about a traffic target or to view all targets in a

grouped target. When a grouped target is selected, the “Next” button on the

dedicated traffic page will cycle through all targets located in close proximity to

where the screen has been touched.

7.9 Data Links (Optional)

The GTN is configured for the following type of data links. The Garmin GTN

6XX or 7XX Cockpit Reference Guide or Garmin GTN 6XX or 7XX Pilot’s

Guide provides additional information regarding the functionality of the data

link device.


of 34

No data link is interfaced to the GTN.

A GDL 69/69A Sirius/XM data link is interfaced to the GTN.

A GSR 56 Iridium data link is interfaced to the GTN.

A GDL 88H data link is interfaced to the GTN.

A GTX 345 data link is interfaced to the GTN.

7.10 Databases

Database versions (or cycles) and effective dates are displayed on the start-up

page immediately after power-on for those databases with an effective or

expiration date. Databases with no effective or expiration dates (e.g., Terrain

database) are considered effective upon installation in the GTN. Database

information can also be viewed on the System → System Status page.

HTAWS terrain databases are regionalized. When operating out of the terrain

coverage area, HTAWS protection will be unavailable and will be indicated by

an HTAWS N/A annunciator, blue cross hatching the terrain map, and aural

“HTAWS NOT AVAILABLE” message. The coverage area for the terrain

database can be determined by the name of the database and the coverage table

provided in the GTN Pilot’s Guide. The Obstacle database coverage area

includes the United States, Canada, and Europe. Obstacle databases that contain

wire or HOT lines cover known lines in the continental United States and parts

of Canada and Mexico.

7.11 External Switches

External switches may be installed and interfaced to the GTN. Table 3 lists the

switches and function they perform:

Switch Label Description

BRIGHT/DIM Sets the brightness of the HTAWS N/A

annunciator appropriate to day or night

Table 3 – External Switches

7.12 Airspace Depiction and Alerts

The GTN aides the flight crew in avoiding certain airspaces with Smart Airspace

and airspace alerts. Smart Airspace de-emphasizes depicted airspace that is not

near the aircraft’s current altitude. Airspace Alerts provide a message indication

to the flight crew when the aircraft’s current ground track will intercept an

airspace type that has been selected for alerting.

NOTE

Smart Airspace and Airspace Alerts are separate features.

Turning on/off Smart Airspace does not affect Airspace

Alerts, and vice versa.

7.13 Fuel Planning Page

The Fuel Planning page uses Fuel on Board or Fuel Flow as received from an

onboard fuel totalizer, as entered by the pilot at system start-up, or as entered by

the pilot when on the Fuel Planning page. This is not a direct indication of

actual aircraft fuel flow or fuel on board and those values are only used for the

Fuel Planning page. The fuel required to destination is only a calculated and

predicted value based on the data entered into the planner. It is not a direct

indication of how much fuel the aircraft will have upon reaching the destination.

Some approach leg types will result in the fuel burn incorrectly calculated as

zero, which will be evident when a zero value is shown for the fuel burn for a

leg.

7.14 Fuel Range Rings

The fuel range rings displayed on the moving map are intended for situational

awareness and do not represent a direct indication of endurance or fuel

remaining. The distance between the segmented green reserve ring and the

yellow zero fuel ring is 45 minutes at the current aircraft groundspeed by

default. The pilot may change the fuel reserve time value on the map setup

menu. Changes to the fuel reserve time persist over GTN power cycles.

Visibility of the fuel range ring may be affected by the underlying map data

selectable by the pilot. The pilot may make changes to the topographic or terrain

data in order or more clearly observe the fuel range ring at any time.

Fuel range data is derived from the interfaced fuel totalizer data. Data entered in

the Fuel Planning pages will not update the fuel range ring.


of 34

7.15 Charts (Optional)

The GTN 725/750 can display both procedure charts and weather data on the

main map page at the same time. When data link Nexrad or Precipitation is

overlaid on the main map page, the weather data is displayed below an overlaid

procedure chart.

The chart page MENU button provides the option to invert chart colors. It is

recommended that the pilot invert chart colors during night operations to

minimize light emitted from the GTN and minimize interference with night

vision.

7.16 Transponder Control (Optional)

The GTN can be interfaced to a Garmin transponder for control and display of

squawk code, mode, and additional transponder functions. The activation of the

Enable ES button on the Transponder page does not indicate the aircraft is in

full compliance with an ADS-B Out solution in accordance with Federal

Aviation Regulation 91.227. Consult your transponder documentation for

additional information.

7.17 Telephone Audio (Optional)

Telephone audio distribution defaults to off on each power cycle of the GTN.

Prior to utilizing the telephone function, the crew must distribute telephone

audio to the desired recipients. If the crew is utilizing the telephone function, it

is required that the telephone audio be turned off upon completing telephone

usage.

7.18 Depiction of Obstacles and Wires

7.18.1 Dedicated Terrain Page

The dedicated Terrain page will always depict point obstacles at zoom scales of

10NM or less and depict wire obstacles at zoom scales of 5NM or less. The

obstacle or wire overlay icon (refer to Figure 3) will be shown near the bottom

of the display when the obstacle or wire depiction is active based on the zoom

scale.

NOTE

Only obstacles and wires within 500 feet vertically of the

aircraft will be drawn on the Terrain page. It is therefore

possible to have an obstacle or wire overlay icon displayed

with no obstacles or wires being depicted on the display.

Figure 3 – Obstacle Overlay Icon (Left), Wire Overlay Icon (Right)


of 34

7.18.2 Map Page

The Map page may be configured to depict point obstacles and wire obstacles at

various zoom scales by the pilot by using the Map page menu. The obstacle or

wire overlay icon (refer to Figure 4) will be shown near the bottom of the

display when the obstacle or wire overlay is active based on the current zoom

scale and setting selected by the pilot.

The settings chosen by the pilot on the Map page menu (including obstacle and

wire display ranges) are saved over a power cycle.

NOTE

Only obstacles and wires within 500 feet vertically of the

aircraft will be drawn on the Map page. It is therefore possible

to have an obstacle or wire overlay icon displayed with no

obstacles or wires being depicted on the display.

NOTE

The Map page may be configured by the pilot to not show any

obstacles or wires at any zoom scale.

Figure 4 – Obstacle Overlay Icon (Left), Wire Overlay Icon (Right)

7.19 Flight Stream 510

The Flight Stream product line uses a wireless transceiver to provide data to and

from a GTN to personal electronic devices (PEDs).

The Flight Stream 510 is mounted in the GTN SD card slot and includes a

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transceiver.

Data such as traffic, flight plan, datalink weather, entertainment audio

information, and attitude information is sent from the Flight Stream to the PED.

The PED is capable of sending flight plans and databases to the Flight Stream

which will then be available on the GTN. Limitations regarding database

operations are found in Section 2.16.

Garmin provides a list of tested and compatible devices that can be used with the

Flight Stream. Connection to the Flight Stream may be possible with devices

other than those on the supported device list, but Bluetooth® and/or Wi-Fi

stability and wireless data integrity cannot be guaranteed.


of 34

For details about the Garmin supported devices and apps for use with the Flight

Stream product line, please visit: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/155337

7.20 Map Page

7.20.1 Configuration

The moving map and weather pages are capable of displaying a large quantity

and variety of data. Map data is layered to ensure that data that is typically more

critical is drawn above less critical data; however, at some zoom scales and

configurations the map may be cluttered with large amounts of data. Controls

are provided on the Map and Weather pages for the pilot to select which data

displayed, the declutter level, and the zoom scales at which data is added to or

removed from the display. It is the responsibility of the pilot to select settings

for the map page that will provide the display of data most appropriate to the

operation being conducted.

7.20.2 Map Orientation

The Map and Weather pages on the GTN can be selected by the pilot to be

oriented Heading Up, Track Up, or North Up. When installed in an aircraft with

a heading source, the Heading Up orientation will be available and is

recommended for use.

When installed in an aircraft without a heading source or if Track Up orientation

is selected, the maps will be oriented as follows:

• Until a valid track is acquired after start-up the track defaults to 360.

• When groundspeed is less than 5 knots, the ownship icon is shown as a

non-directional icon and the map orientation is latched at the last valid

track.

• When groundspeed is between 5 and 10 knots, the ownship icon is

shown as a non-directional icon and the map orientation is oriented to

the current track.

• When groundspeed is in excess of 10 knots, the ownship icon is a

directional icon oriented to track and the map is oriented to track.

The Terrain page will default to a Heading Up orientation if a heading data

source is installed or will orient to Track Up if no heading data is available.

When oriented to Track Up, the Terrain page operation is the same as

previously described. When below 10 knots groundspeed and track up the

Terrain page cannot be selected to Arc View.

7.20.3 Flight Plan Depiction

The Map page depicts the current active flight plan. When an Off Route Direct

To is active, the flight plan will no longer be depicted on the map.

7.21 User Defined Waypoints

When a User Defined Waypoint is created a default name will automatically be

provided and the pilot is given the option to enter a different name for the

waypoint. Pages that have the Autofill function will prevent some waypoint

https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/155337


of 34

names from being used. If it is desired to name the waypoint a subset of the

name of an existing waypoint in the database, then this must be accomplished on

the Waypoint Info/User Waypoints page.

Waypoints that are created when a Search and Rescue pattern is created are not

considered User Waypoints and therefore functions associated with User

Waypoints are not provided for these waypoints.

7.22 Times and Distances

Time and Distance data to the next waypoint is always calculated from the

present position to that waypoint and does not account for the path that may be

flown (such as intercepting a course) to reach the waypoint.

7.23 GTN-GTN Crossfill

Specific data will sync between GTNs when installed in a dual GTN

configuration. If data is not included in this list, then it is not crossfilled. The

following data will crossfill between the two GTNs with CROSSFILL ON or

OFF:

• User Waypoints

• FPL Catalog

• Traffic Alerts

• Missed Approach Popups

• Altitude Leg Popups

• Heading

• Date/Time Conventions

• CDI Scale

The following unit changes will crossfill:

• Temperature • NAV Angle • Fuel

The following items are crossfilled only when the GTNs are set to CROSSFILL

ON:

• User Holds

• Approaches

• Flight Plan Changes

• DTO

• Selected OBS Course Changes

7.24 European Visual Reporting Points

If the GTN is interfaced with a G500H or G500H TXi PFD/MFD, and a flight

plan in the GTN contains a VRP, the G500H or G500H TXi must have a

database that contains the VRP to appropriately display the VRP on the MFD

map. If the database on the PFD/MFD does not contain the VRP, the VRP will

display on the MFD map as an intersection.


of 34

7.25 Advisory Visual Approaches

The GTN will provide advisory visual approaches to many runways in the

aviation database. Lateral guidance for the visual approach is aligned with the

runway bearing. Vertical guidance is provided for those runways with VGSI

information for distances up to 4.0NM from the runway. If a terrain database is

installed in the GTN, the GTN provides vertical guidance up to 28NM from the

runway end unless the computed glideslope would impact terrain or obstacles

from the database. If the projected impact point is less than 28NM and greater

than 4NM, the flight plan line for the approach is shortened to indicate where

vertical guidance is active for the approach. If the terrain impact point is less

than 4NM from the runway and there is no VGSI data available, vertical

guidance is not provided for that approach. Lateral guidance is still available

when vertical guidance is removed.

CDI and VDI indications are the same as those of other GPS-based approaches

(e.g., LPV or LNAV+V). The GTN annunciates “VISUAL” in the annunciator

bar to indicate a visual approach is active.

When loading or activating a visual approach, the GPA and TCH information

for that approach will be displayed on a pop-up. If there is no vertical guidance

available, the pop-up will display “(NO VERTICAL GUIDANCE)”.

NOTE

Advisory visual approaches are not available to heliports.

7.26 Descent VNAV

The GTN can provide multi-waypoint baro-VNAV guidance for the en route

and initial approach phases of flight. Altitudes associated with instrument

procedures are retrieved from the navigation database when the procedure is

added to the flight plan.

Altitudes in cyan on the GTN are valid VNAV guidance waypoints and the

GTN will provide vertical guidance based on the displayed altitude constraints

and default flight path angle (FPA). Altitudes colored white are advisory only.

The following are recommendations for using descent VNAV:

• It is recommended that the pilot ensure the default FPA is the same on

both installed GTNs. Failure to do so may result in different VNAV

paths on each unit.

• The pilot should verify all altitudes for procedures after loading the

procedure into the flight plan.

In aircraft where there are multiple GDUs and two GTNs, VNAV will use the

barometer setting from the pilot-side GDU for both GTNs. In the event that the

pilot-side GDU has failed, the GTNs will use the co-pilot’s GDU barometer

setting.

Descent VNAV is limited to flight path angles (FPA) of -6° or less, and vertical

speed required of no less than -4000 fpm. If a flight plan change is made during

a VNAV descent, VNAV will be re-calculated and could result in active VNAV


of 34

path changes. If the current VNAV FPA is less than -1°, a new VNAV path may

be computed during a flight plan change and result in a new Top of Descent

point. This can also occur during VNAV Direct-To operations.

VNAV constraints are not allowed inside the FAF. VNAV altitudes are not

saved in the flight plan catalog.

When VNAV is disabled by the pilot, it will be automatically re-enabled when

the pilot initiates a lateral Direct-To to a waypoint.

7.27 Along Track Waypoints

The GTN allows for the creation of flight plan waypoints that are based off an

offset distance from a waypoint in the flight and places the new along track

waypoint (ATK) in the flight plan. Once placed in the flight plan, the pilot may

navigate using that waypoint in the same manner as other flight plan waypoints.

Along track waypoints cannot be created on a Vectors to Final (VTF) approach

and are limited to the lateral constraints of the flight plan. This means that the

pilot cannot place an ATK before the first waypoint of a flight plan or after the

last waypoint of a flight plan.

ATKs are fixed once placed and will not move if the referenced waypoint is

changed or removed from the flight plan. ATKs are not saved in the flight plan

catalog. ATKs cannot reference another ATK in the flight plan.

7.28 Database Provided Altitudes

When the GTN provides altitude data for waypoints included in IFR procedures,

the altitudes provided are those shown on the procedure chart for “Turbojet” or

“Jet” aircraft. If altitudes for other aircraft, such as “Turboprop” or “Prop”, are

required, the crew must manually edit the waypoint altitude.

7.29 Database Sync with G500H or G500H TXi GDUs

When a GTN hosts a Flight Stream 510 for database syncing to GDUs, the GTN

and GDU must be configured for the same chart database type (FliteCharts or
