6.  Press  the small right knob to remove the 
flashing cursor. 
 NOTE: For duplex COM operations, the VLOC re-
ceiver may be auto-tuned from the nearest flight 
service station page. 
When selecting a VOR or ILS approach, manual 
tuning of the VLOC receiver is not required. Once 
the approach procedure is “Loaded” or “Acti-
vated”, the GNS 430W will automatically place 
the proper frequency in the standby field of the 
VLOC window. If you wish to use this frequency, 
simply press the VLOC flip-flop key to activate 
the frequency. Additional information on approach 
procedures is provided in Section 5. 
To select an approach and automatically tune the 
proper VLOC  frequency: 
1.   Select the destination airport using the direct-
to key or as the last waypoint in the active 
flight plan. 
2.   Press the PROC key to display the procedures 
page. 
3.   Turn the large right knob to highlight “Select 
Approach?” and press ENT. 
4.   A window will appear listing the available pro-
cedures. Turn  the small right knob to highlight 
the desired procedure and press ENT. (When 
a direct-to destination is selected, departures 
are offered for the nearest airport.) 
5.   A second window will appear listing available 
transitions. Turn  the small right knob to 
highlight the desired transition waypoint and 
press ENT. (The approach “Vectors” option 
assumes you will receive vectors to the final 
course segment of the approach and will 
provide navigation guidance to intercept this 
final course.) 
6.   Turn the large right knob to highlight “Load?” 
or “Activate?” and press ENT. (“Load?” will 
add the procedure to the flight plan without 
immediately using it for navigation guidance. 
This allows you to continue navigating the 
original flight plan, but keeps the procedure 
available on the active flight plan page for 
quick activation when needed.) 
7.  For VOR and ILS approaches, the standby field 
of the VLOC window is automatically tuned to 
the proper frequency.  To activate the frequency 
press the VLOC flip-flop  key. To  display VLOC 
course information on the external CDI (or HSI) 
press CDI and verify that “VLOC” is displayed 
at the bottom left corner of the screen, directly 
above the CDI key.

8.     For precision approaches and some non-
precision approaches, a reminder window will 
appear indicating that GPS guidance on such 
approaches is strictly for monitoring only—use 
the VLOC receivers and external CDI (or HSI) for 
primary navigation. To confirm this reminder, 
highlight “Yes?” and press ENT. 
CDI Key
The GNS 430W’s CDI key is used to couple the 
GPS or VLOC receiver to the external CDI (or HSI). 
When the external CDI (or HSI) is being driven by 
the GPS receiver, “GPS” will appear at the bottom left 
corner of the page, directly above the CDI key. When 
the external CDI (or HSI) is being driven by the VLOC 
receiver, “VLOC” will appear instead. 
To couple the external CDI (or HSI) to the GPS 
receiver or VLOC receiver, press the CDI key to 
display “GPS”  or “VLOC”, as desired. 
 NOTE: The external CDI (or HSI) must be coupled 
to the VLOC receiver for approaches which are 
not approved for GPS. See the ILS example in the 
Procedures section. 
 NOTE:  GPS level of service annunciations (LPV, 
ENR, etc. as shown on page 83) are not appli-
cable to the external CDI (or HSI) when VLOC is 
active.

To select an item from the flight planning page: 
1.   Press  the small right knob momentarily, to 
activate the flashing cursor. 
2.   Turn the large right knob to select the desired 
menu option, and press ENT. 
The following flight planning items are available: 
Fuel Planning— when equipped with fuel flow 
(FF) and/or fuel on board (FOB) sensors, this item 
displays current fuel conditions along the active 
direct-to or flight plan. You may also manually 
enter fuel flow, ground speed (GS) and (in some 
instances) fuel on board figures for planning pur-
poses. Fuel planning figures can be displayed not 
only for the currently active flight plan or direct-
to, but also point-to-point between two specified 
waypoints and for any programmed flight plan. 
Trip Planning— allows the pilot to view desired 
track (DTK), distance (DIS), estimated time en 
route (ETE), en route 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. 
 NOTE:  Point-to-point waypoints, flight plans 
and/or ground speed (default is current GPS-
calculated ground speed) entered on the fuel 
planning page will automatically transfer to the 
trip planning page, and vice versa.

Flight Planning
Density Alt / TAS / Winds— indicates the theo-
retical altitude at which your aircraft will perform 
depending upon several environmental conditions, 
including indicated altitude (IND ALT), barometric 
setting (BARO) and total air temperature (TAT; the 
temperature, including the heating effect of speed, 
read on a standard outside temperature gauge). 
This computes true airspeed (TAS), based upon the 
factors above and the calibrated airspeed (CAS). 
Also, this determines winds aloft—the wind direc-
tion and speed—and a head wind/tail wind com-
ponent, based upon the calculated density altitude 
(DEN ALT), true airspeed, aircraft heading (HDG) 
and ground speed. 
Crossfill— allows the pilot to transfer the active 
flight plan, including VNAV parameters any stored 
flight plan, a user waypoint or all user waypoints 
between two 400W-Series Garmin units in a dual-
unit installation. 
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 will appear once 
the timer expires and will reappear each time the 
400W-series unit is powered on, until the message 
is deleted.  Periodic messages will 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. 
 NOTE:  Crossfill and Manual GTN Crossfill can 
not be configured to be present at the same time. 
The chosen feature is configured by the installer 
for your installation. 
Manual GTN Crossfill —  The Manual GTN Crossfill 
Function allows the GNS 400W/500W series unit to 
manually send all User waypoints to the connected 
GTN unit or receive information from a GTN unit.

Crossfill Operation
The Crossfill Function allows the pilot to transfer a 
direct-to destination, the active flight plan includ-
ing VNAV parameters, any stored flight plan, a 
user waypoint, or all user waypoints between two 
400W-Series (or 500W-Series) Garmin units in a 
dual-unit installation. There is only one Crossfill 
function page. It may be accessed pressing the 
MENU key and selecting Crossfill while viewing 
the default Nav page, Flight Plan Catalog, Active 
Flight Plan, User Waypoint page, or the Aux mode 
Flight Planning page and then pressing ENT. 
 NOTE: The  databases of the 400/500 series and 
the 400W/500W are incompatible, so you may 
not mix systems. 
To select Crossfill
Select “Crossfill?” from the Default NAV Page, 
Flight Plan Catalog page, Active Flight Plan page, 
or the User Waypoint page by pressing MENU, 
scrolling down to “Crossfill” with the large right 
knob and then pressing ENT. On the Aux Flight 
Planning page scroll down to “Crossfill” with the 
large right knob, and then press ENT. 
•  Automatic Operation:  If both units are set 
to automatic, a change in the active flight plan 
or VNAV parameters of one unit will also be 
seen in the other. Initiating a direct-to to a 
waypoint on one unit will also initiate a direct-
to to the same waypoint on the other unit. 
  If one unit is set for automatic crossfill and the 
other is set for manual crossfill, then only the 
auto unit will automatically send data to the 
manual unit. In this configuration, the auto 
unit could be thought of as the master unit. 
•  Manual Operation:  If manual operation is 
desired, the pilot must invoke all transfers 
from that unit. When a unit is configured 
for automatic transfer, a manual transfer can 
also be done on command. If either of the 
messages “data transfer error” or “data transfer 
cancelled” are received during an automatic or
