Default Nav Page
Default Nav Page
During most flights, the default NAV, map and 
NAVCOM pages will be the primary pages used for 
navigation. The default NAV page displays a graphic 
course deviation indicator (CDI), the active leg of 
your flight plan (as defined by the current “from” and 
“to” waypoints), and six user-selectable data fields. 
The default settings for these fields are distance to 
waypoint (DIS), desired track (DTK), bearing to 
waypoint (BRG), ground speed (GS), ground track 
(TRK)...

Map Page
The map page displays your present position (using 
an airplane symbol) relative to nearby airports, VORs, 
NDBs, intersections, user waypoints and airspace 
boundaries—and your route displayed as a solid line. 
Data fields for destination waypoint (WPT), distance 
to waypoint (DIS), desired track (DTK) and ground 
speed (GS) appear on the right hand side of the 
display. These fields are user-selectable to allow you to 
configure the unit to your own preferences. Available 
settings include:...

15
NavCom Page
From the default NAV page, simply turn the small 
right knob to display the map page and again to dis-
play the NAVCOM page. The NAVCOM page displays 
the available frequencies (communications and naviga-
tion) for the departure airport, any en route airports 
that are included in your flight plan, and the final 
destination airport. When using the direct-to function, 
frequencies will be listed for the airport nearest to your 
starting position and the destination airport.

Direct-To Navigation
The 400W-series unit can use direct point-to-point 
navigation to guide you from takeoff to touchdown, 
even in the IFR environment. Once a destination 
is selected, the unit will provide speed, course and 
distance data based upon a direct course from your 
present position to your destination. A destination can 
be selected from any page with the direct-to key.

IFR Procedures
IFR Procedures
Once the direct-to or flight plan is confirmed, the 
whole range of instrument procedures is available to 
you. Departures (SIDs), arrivals (STARs), non-preci-
sion and precision approaches are stored within the 
NavData card and available using the PROC (proce-
dures) key. 
To display the procedures page, press PROC. 
The steps required to select and activate an 
approach, departure or arrival are identical. In this 
introductory section, we’ll show examples of the steps...

Nearest Pages
Nearest (NRST) Pages
The NRST main page groups provides listings for 
nearest airports or other facilities. The NRST group 
provides detailed information on the 25 nearest 
airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and user-created 
waypoints within 200 NM of your current position. 
In addition, pages are also provided to display the five 
nearest center (ARTCC/FIR) and Flight Service Station 
(FSS) points of communication, plus alert you to any 
special-use or controlled airspace you may be...

You may examine both the communication 
frequencies and runway information directly from 
the nearest airport page. As discussed earlier for the 
NAVCOM page, you may also place any displayed

ing ENT. 
To view additional information for a nearby air-
port from the Nearest Airport page:

Nearest Airspace
Nearest Airspace Page
The last page in the NRST group, the nearest 
airspace page, provides information for up to nine 
controlled or special-use airspaces near or in your 
flight path. Airspace information appears on this page 
based upon the same criteria used for airspace alert 
messages. Nearby airspace information and airspace 
alert messages are provided according to the following 
conditions: 
•  If your projected course will take you inside an 
airspace within the next ten...
