To perform 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 infor-
mation from a GTN unit. 
 NOTE:  The  databases of the 400/500 series and 
the 400W/500W are incompatible, so you may 
not mix systems. 
 NOTE:  Manual GTN Crossfill requires the 
400W/500W series unit to have the same 
Jeppesen NavData® database cycle number as 
the GTN unit. 
 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. 
 NOTE:  Ensure that the GTN unit has Auto GNS 
Crossfill enabled. 
The information received from the GTN unit includes 
the following: 
• Active Waypoint Leg
• Active Flight Plan
• Direct-To Waypoint
• Suspend/OBS Status
Manual GTN Crossfill is a feature that will keep the 
GNS system in sync with a flight plan that is being used 
on the GTN system. The GTN will not automatically keep 
its flight plan in sync with changes made on the GNS sys-
tem. Essentially, the crossfill feature is “one way” – from 
the GTN to the GNS. 
The GTN systems support a variety of procedure leg 
types that the GNS systems do not support. As such, it is 
normal and expected that the flight plan leg that is dis-
played on the GNS system will not always match the flight 
plan leg on the GTN system. Departure, arrival and ap-
proach procedures often contain leg types that the GNS 
does not support. The GNS typically “skips” over these 
leg types and provides no guidance. Guidance may be 
available on the GTN but not on the GNS in these cases. 
The GNS will fly the procedure as it normally would if 
Crossfill were not active. Once a leg type is reached that 
is supported on both the GTN and GNS systems, the sys-
tems will automatically sync to the same leg. 
Waypoint names longer than six characters, or dupli-
cates, sent from the GTN unit to the GNS unit will replace 
some characters with a “+” sign, while leaving significant 
characters to aid in identification (such as, USR003 becomes 
US+003).

To Enable Flight Plan Crossfill from the GTN Unit
1.  From the Default NAV Page, Active Flight Plan 
page, or the User Waypoint page press MENU.  
Highlight “GTN Crossfill?” and then press ENT.
OR
2.  On the Aux Flight Planning page scroll down 
to “Manual GTN Crossfill” with the large or 
small right knob, and then press ENT. 
3.  With the Link field highlighted, turn the small 
right knob to show “Enabled”, and then press

plan information from the GTN unit. 
 CAUTION:  The user is required to always verify 
each flight plan leg prior to navigating with the 
GNS unit when Manual GTN Crossfill is active. 
 NOTE:  If the user manually alters the flight plan 
on the GNS unit, the systems will not crossfill 
until the pilot activates the feature again on the 
GNS unit.

1.  Continuing from the steps above, turn the large 
right knob to highlight “Initiate Transfer?.” 
2. Press ENT. The 400W/500W-series unit’s User 
waypoints will be sent to the GTN unit.

Utility Page
The following items are available: 
Checklists— provides up to nine different user-
defined checklists containing up to 30 items each. 
Flight Timers— provides count up/down timers, 
plus automatic recording of departure time and 
total trip time. Departure and total trip time 
recording can be configured to run either any time 
400W-series power is on, or only when your ground 
speed exceeds 30 knots. 
In helicopter installations, flight timers will be only 
run if the air/ground switch indicates the aircraft is off 
the ground or if GPS air speed is greater than 20 kts. 
Trip Statistics— provides readouts for trip odom-
eters, average speed and maximum speed. These 
readouts are resettable (individually or all at once) 
by pressing MENU to display an options window. 
RAIM Prediction— predicts if GPS cover-
age is available for your current location or at a 
specified waypoint at any time and date. Receiver 
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring performs checks 
to ensure that the 400W-series unit has adequate 
satellite geometry during your flight. RAIM avail-
ability is near 100% in Oceanic, En Route and 
Terminal phases of flight. Because the FAA’s TSO 
requirements for non-precision approaches specify 
significantly better satellite coverage than other 
flight phases, RAIM may not be available when 
flying some approaches. The 400W-series unit 
automatically monitors RAIM during approach 
operations and warns you if RAIM is not available. 
In such cases, use the GNS 430W’s VLOC receiver 
instead for the approaches. RAIM prediction helps 
you plan for a pending flight to confirm GPS opera-
tion during an approach. 
RAIM prediction only predicts the availability of 
Fault Detection (FD) integrity in the absence of 
WAAS corrections. It cannot predict the availability 
of LPV approaches. The FAA provides a NOTAM 
service for LPV approach availability. 
An “INTEG” annunciation at the bottom left corner of the 
screen indicates that satellite coverage is insufficient to pass  built-in receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) tests. When this occurs, the GPS receiver will continue to 
provide navigation information, but should not be used for  primary navigation guidance. Use the GNS 430W’s VLOC  receiver or another suitable navigation source. 
Sunrise / Sunset— allows you to calculate the time 
of sunrise and sunset at any waypoint or your pres-
ent position for a specified date. 
Software Versions  —  provides software ver-
sion information for the operating software within 
the GPS receiver, COM transceiver, VOR/localizer 
receiver, glideslope receiver and main processor 
board.
