♦ Fuel flow sensor installed, but no fuel on
board sensor - Fuel on board is manually
entered. Fuel flow is automatically provided
by sensor. If fuel flow is manually entered
(to override the sensor), it does not affect the
FOB figure and is not retained the next time
the page is displayed.
♦ Fuel flow and fuel on board sensors installed
- Fuel flow and fuel on board are automati-
cally provided by sensors. Fuel on board can
NOT be entered manually. Fuel flow can be
entered manually, but does not affect the FOB
figure and is not retained the next time the
page is displayed.
• Trip Planning - Allows the pilot to view desired
track (DTK), distance (DIS), estimated time
enroute (ETE), enroute safe altitude (ESA), and
estimated time of arrival (ETA) information for a
direct-to, point-to-point between two specified
waypoints, or for any programmed flight plan.
This option also displays the sunrise/sunset times
for your destination waypoint (for the selected
departure date).
NOTE: Point-to-point waypoints, flight plans,
and/or ground speed (default is current GPS-
calculated ground speed) entered on the Fuel
Planning Page automatically transfers to the Trip
Planning Page, and vice versa.
• Density Alt/TAS/Winds - Indicates the
theoretical altitude at which the aircraft can
perform depending upon several environmental
conditions, including indicated altitude (IND
ALT), barometric pressure (BARO), and total air
temperature (TAT; the temperature, including the
heating effect of speed, read on a standard outside
temperature gauge). This menu option computes
true airspeed (TAS), based upon the factors
above and the calibrated airspeed (CAS). Also,
this menu option determines winds aloft (the
wind direction and speed) and a head wind/tail
wind component, based upon the calculated
density altitude (DEN ALT), true airspeed, aircraft
heading (HDG), and ground speed.
• Scheduler - Displays reminder messages (such as
‘Change oil’, ‘Switch fuel tanks’, ‘Overhaul’, etc.).
One-time, periodic, and event-based messages
are allowed. One-time messages appear once
the timer expires and reappear each time the
GNS 530 is powered on, until the message is
deleted. Periodic messages automatically reset
to the original timer value, once the message is
displayed. Event-based messages do not use a
timer, but rather a specific date and time.
• Crossfill - Allows the pilot to transfer the active
flight plan, any stored flight plan, a user waypoint,
or all user waypoints between two 400/500-series
Garmin units in a dual-unit installation. See
Section 5.1, Flight Plan Catalog Options and
information following in this section for details.
