Ground Lesson 1 INTRODUCTION AND GIFD SYSTEM OVERVIEW Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to do the following: • Describe the basic components of the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck • Describe the communication between GIFD components Resources • GIFD Pilot's Guide • Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) and supplements • Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and supplements • Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) • Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Exercise 1.1: Terminology and Review of Pertinent Federal Aviation Regulations 1. Define and describe the following navigation abbreviations and acronyms: • WAAS The Wide Area Augmentation System is a satellite navigation system consisting of equipment and software which augment the GPS Standard Positioning Service (SPS). It provides enhanced integrity, accuracy, availability, and continuity over and above GPS SPS. The differential correction function provides improved accuracy required for precision approach. • LNAV Lateral Navigation provides lateral guidance to a profile or path. This terminology is used for GPS non-precision approaches. • LNAV/VNAV Lateral Navigation/Vertical Navigation describes an approach in which lateral guidance as well as vertical glide slope guidance is provided. • LPV Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance is a new type of APV approach procedure in which the angular lateral precision is combined with an electronic glidepath. TERPS approach criteria are very similar to that used for ILS approaches. • VNAV (or VNV) Vertical Navigation manages the altitude profile. The concept of the VNAV is to assign a target altitude to assist in controlled decent operations. Using the flight plan, a target altitude may be assigned to any waypoint. To reach the target altitude, the rate of descent is calculated and displayed and vertical guidance is provided to reach the descent profile. 190-00368-05 Rev. B GIFD Pilot's Training Guide 3
