Section 11 Messages, Abbreviations, and Navigation Terminology Messages The 400W-series unit uses a flashing "MSG" annunciator at the bottom of the screen (directly above the MSG key) to alert you of any important information or warnings. While most messages are advisory in nature, warning messages may require your intervention. Whenever the "MSG" annunciator flashes, press the MSG key to display the message, when pilot workload allows. Press MSG again to return to the previous page. The following is a list of available messages and their meanings: Abort Approach - Loss of Navigation - Execute missed approach using other navigation equipment. Airport terrain database integrity error - The 400W-series unit has detected a problem with a database on the Terrain data card. The data is not usable and the card should be returned to your Garmin dealer. Airspace ahead - less than 10 minutes - Your GPScalculated course is projected to enter a special use airspace within 10 minutes. This message is automatically disabled within 30 NM of an arrival airport, when an approach is loaded. Airspace near and ahead - Your GPS-calculated position is within 2 NM of the boundary of a special use airspace and your course is projected to enter the airspace. This message is automatically disabled within 30 NM of an arrival airport, when an approach is loaded. All data referenced to True North - The unit does not have a valid aviation database, so it cannot compute magnetic variation. 11 - MESSAGES ABBREVIATIONS & NAV TERMS Approach downgraded - Use LNAV minima - This message will occur 60 seconds prior to the FAF if flying LNAV+V, L/VNAV, LP, or LPV approaches and WAAS integrity parameters have fallen below minimal limits. As a result, vertical guidance has been discontinued and the LP, LPV, LNAV+V, or L/VNAV approach you were flying has been downgraded. Approach is not active - The approach could not transition to "active", at 2 NM or closer to the FAF. Verify that "SUSP" DOES NOT appear directly above the OBS key, indicating the auto waypoint sequencing is suspended. Approaching target altitude - The current GPS-computed altitude is within 500 feet of the final Vertical Navigation target altitude. Approaching VNAV profile - You are within one minute of reaching the initial Vertical Navigation descent point. APR Guidance Available - Use PROC before A/P APR - For units configured with the KAP140 or KFC225 autopilot, this message reminds pilots, when they turn on course to the FAF, that they need to enable autopilot outputs (by pressing PROC and selecting "Enable A/P APR Outputs?") before switching the autopilot control panel to APR. Arrival at waypoint [waypoint name] - You are within the arrival alarm circle for the indicated waypoint. The size of the arrival alarm circle is defined from the "CDI / alarms" menu option on the Setup Page. Audio database integrity error - The 400W-series unit has detected a problem with the built-in HTAWS Audio Database. HTAWS audio alerts are not available. The unit should be returned to your Garmin dealer for service. Aviation database integrity error - The 400W-series unit has detected a problem with a database on the NavData® card. The data is not usable and the card should be returned to Jeppesen or your Garmin dealer for service. 190-00356-00 Rev G 181

Messages, Abbreviations, and

Navigation Terminology

Messages

The 400W-series unit uses a ﬂashing “MSG” annunciator

at the bottom of the screen (directly above the

MSG

key) to

alert you of any important information or warnings. While

most messages are advisory in nature, warning messages

may require your intervention.

Whenever the “MSG” annunciator ﬂashes, press the

MSG

key to display the message, when pilot workload

allows. Press

MSG

again to return to the previous page.

The following is a list of available messages and their

meanings:

ABORT APPROACH — Loss of Navigation —

Execute

missed approach using other navigation equipment.

Airport terrain database integrity error —

The

400W-series unit has detected a problem with a database

on the Terrain data card. The data is not usable and the

card should be returned to your Garmin dealer.

Airspace ahead — less than 10 minutes —

Your GPS-

calculated course is projected to enter a special use airspace

within 10 minutes. This message is automatically disabled

within 30 NM of an arrival airport, when an approach is

loaded.

Airspace near and ahead —

Your GPS-calculated

position is within 2 NM of the boundary of a special use

airspace and your course is projected to enter the airspace.

This message is automatically disabled within 30 NM of an

arrival airport, when an approach is loaded.

All data referenced to True North —

The unit does not

have a valid aviation database, so it cannot compute mag-

netic variation.

Approach downgraded — Use LNAV minima —

This

message will occur 60 seconds prior to the FAF if ﬂying

LNAV+V, L/VNAV, LP, or LPV approaches and WAAS

integrity parameters have fallen below minimal limits. As

a result, vertical guidance has been discontinued and the

LP, LPV, LNAV+V, or L/VNAV approach you were ﬂying has

been downgraded.

Approach is not active —

The approach could not transi-

tion to “active”, at 2 NM or closer to the FAF. Verify that

“SUSP” DOES NOT appear directly above the

OBS

key,

indicating the auto waypoint sequencing is suspended.

Approaching target altitude —

The current GPS-com-

puted altitude is within 500 feet of the ﬁnal Vertical Naviga

tion target altitude.

Approaching VNAV proﬁle —

You are within one minute

of reaching the initial Vertical Navigation descent point.

APR Guidance Available - Use PROC before A/P APR

—

For units conﬁgured with the KAP140 or KFC225

autopilot, this message reminds pilots, when they turn

on course to the FAF, that they need to enable autopilot

outputs (by pressing

PROC

and selecting “Enable A/P APR

Outputs?”) before switching the autopilot control panel to

APR.

Arrival at waypoint [waypoint name] —

You are within

the arrival alarm circle for the indicated waypoint. The size

of the arrival alarm circle is deﬁned from the “CDI / alarms”

menu option on the Setup Page.

Audio database integrity error —

The 400W-series unit

has detected a problem with the built-in HTAWS Audio

Database. HTAWS audio alerts are not available. The unit

should be returned to your Garmin dealer for service.

Aviation database integrity error —

The 400W-series

unit has detected a problem with a database on the Nav-

Data

card. The data is not usable and the card should be

returned to Jeppesen or your Garmin dealer for service.
