FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2• Advanced flight display and guidance
technology systems require management ~– There is so much more information available– The additional information may be selected for
display via various methods– The introduction of cockpit automation creates new
unexpected situational awareness challenges– The potential for distraction due to information and
automation management is increased.– The loss of situational awareness is a danger for
pilots of all experience levels.

FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2How do these statements relate to TAA?• Situational Awareness (SA) refers to the degree of
accuracy by which one's perception of his current environment mirrors reality.
• Situational Awareness is the ability to identify, process, and comprehend the critical elements of information about what is happening to the team with regards to the mission. More simply, it’s knowing what is going on around you.
9Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2

FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
The necessity for a new look at situational awareness becomes apparent the first time you hear;
“Why is it doing that?”
in a TAA cockpit during flight!
10Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2

• How does Situational Awareness in a TAA compare to a traditional airplane?
• What new skills are needed?
11Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
• Situational Awareness in a TAA may include– GPS– Navigation-MFD– Autopilot– Weather– Traffic– Terrain– ADS-B– Stand-by flight instruments
must be referenced to ensure SA
12Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2• TAA training scenarios must continue to
stress the importance of Situational Awareness related to;– The aircraft position– Terrain– Weather– Traffic– Potential runway incursion – Fuel and operational factors– Personal health, required rest, and distractions

FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2• Some additional considerations for TAA
operation are;– As with any navigation system based upon stored
information, that information must be current– An owner or pilot may be authorized to update the
onboard data when done in compliance with CFR 43.13.
– The operation of aircraft with specific items out of service may be authorized by the appropriate Operations Manual and Regulations.

FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2Module #2 – Core Topic #4,
GPS Navigation ~ Excerpts from: “Garmin GNS 530 Training Program” by Joe Foresto
“AIM, Section 1, Chapter 1-1-19” and,“Flying With GPS” by Hobie Tomlinson, FLR
Objectives: • Review GPS components, basic capabilities, and
limitations.• Discuss the benefit of fundamental navigation
knowledge as a basis for the use of GPS. • Identify the operational requirements of GPS receivers
commonly found in GA aircraft.
29Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2GPS navigation makes possible a direct routing to
any point within the range of an aircraft. It does not; however, relieve the pilot of responsibility to maintain adequate terrain separation as well as to be knowledgeable about the types of airspace through which the proposed direct routing will pass, especially TFRs.
30Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
The Limitations of the various types of GPS receivers should be clearly understood by the pilot to avoid navigational errors. It is never wise to depend on any single, “sole source” for information in an aircraft, including navigation information. VFR GPS navigation should be part of a navigation solution that includes VOR, pilotage and even dead (deduced) reckoning.
31Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
The Critical Concerns in the VFR use of GPS navigation are as follows:
• RAIM Capability (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring)• Antenna Location• Database Currency• Handheld and yoke mounted GPS receivers
may not be used for IFR operations
32Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2RAIM Capability is not provided in hand-held GPS
receivers, or in many panel mounted VFR- only GPS receivers.
Thus no warning would be provided to the pilot for the loss of the required number of satellites (5) in view or the development of a position error. Because no alert would be provided to the pilot in these critical instances where the navigation solution has deteriorated, an undetected navigation error could occur.
When using these types of GPS receivers, a systematic cross-check with other navigation types is required to identify this failure and prevent a serious navigation error from occurring!
33Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2RAIM Confirmation is
Required for IFRNavigation
Note: After initialization the GPS will have position information related to bearing and distance or Lat/Long – RAIM verifies reliability.
34Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2Some GPS Navigation terms are as follows: • RNP ~ Required Navigation Performance is the
navigation accuracy required for that phase of flight expressed in distance from “on course.”
• ANP ~ Actual Navigation Position is the navigation accuracy being currently provided by the GPS receiver expressed in distance from “on course.” • DTK ~ Desired Track is the
magnetic course to the active waypoint.
35Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2• TRK ~ Track is the magnetic course currently being
flown.• BRG ~ Bearing is the compass direction from the
aircraft present position to the active waypoint.• XTK ~ Cross Track is the distance the aircraft is off
the Desired Track to the right or left.
• DIS ~ Distance is the nautical miles from the aircraft present position(PP) to the active
waypoint.
36Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2The General Requirements for using GPS navigation
under IFR are as follows:• The GPS Navigation equipment must be approved.• The aircraft must be equipped with an approved
and operational alternate navigation system.• Procedures for loss of RAIM capability must be
established.• GPS operation must comply with the FAA-approved
AFM or AFM supplement. • The flight plan should use the appropriate special
equipment suffix.• GPS NOTAMS must be reviewed. • Commercial operators must comply with their
operations specifications.
37Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2 An Approved and Operational Alternate Navigation
means appropriate to the flight must be installed in the aircraft when using GPS navigation equipment under IFR.
38Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2The Appropriate Special Equipment Suffix should be
used when filing IFR flight plans. Aircraft navigating by approved IFR GPS equipment are considered to be area navigation (RNAV) aircraft and are identified to ATC controllers by their special equipment suffix. These are as follows: – E for FMS with both DME/DME and IRU (Inertial Reference
Unit) position updating.– F for FMS with only DME/DME position updating.– G for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), including
GPS or WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) with enroute and terminal capability
– R for RNP (Required Navigation Performance) aircraft which meet the RNP type prescribed for the routes, route segments and area concerned.
– Q for R with RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums) approval.

Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)• Improves the accuracy, integrity and
availability of GPS signals while lowering cost.
• WAAS will cover a more extensive service area than traditional ground-based navigation aids.
• WAAS allows pilots to use an airport which has only a GPS approach as an alternate airport provided it has weather reporting.
40Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2• The U.S. WAAS network is currently
comprised of 25 WRSs (Wide-area ground Reference Stations),
• 2 WMSs (Wide-area
Master Station) and • 4 GUSs (Ground Uplink Station).

42Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2GPS/WAAS operation must be conducted in
accordance with the FAA-approved aircraft flight manual (AFM) and flight manual supplements which will state the level of approach procedure that the receiver supports. IFR approved WAAS receivers support all GPS-only operations as long as lateral capability at the appropriate level is functional. WAAS provides integrity by monitoring both GPS and WAAS satellites. GPS/WAAS equipment which has a FDE (Fault Detection and Exclusion) prediction program is capable of supporting oceanic and remote operations.
43Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2• Prior to GPS/WAAS IFR operation, the pilot must review
appropriate NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) and aeronautical information. The FAA provides NOTAMs to advise pilots of the status of WAAS and the level of service available.
• Air carrier and commercial operators must meet
the appropriate provisions of their approved operations specifications.
44Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required
Navigation Performance (RNP). RNAV is a system of navigation which permits an aircraft to operate on any desired flight path within the limits of theinstalled on-board equipment capability.
45Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2Required Navigation Performance (RNP) is a
statement of the level of navigation accuracy necessary for operation within a defined airspace.
• RNAV equipment certified for use in RNP
airspace must have the ability to monitor its achieved navigation accuracy and display to the pilot whether the required navigation performance is (or is not) being met.
46Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2RNAV Operations demand strict pilot
awareness and maintenance of the procedure centerline. This requires pilots to have a working knowledge of their on-board navigation systems as well as an understanding of the following items:
• Waypoints• RNAV Leg Types• Navigation Issues • Flight Management System (FMS)
47Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2Fly-by waypoints are depicted by a 4-pointed
star and are used when the aircraft is to begin the turn to the next course prior to reaching the waypoint separating the two route segments.
This is called turn anticipation and prevents overshooting the next course centerline.
48Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
January 26, 2009 (revised)
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2Fly-over waypoints are depicted by a 4-
pointed star within a circle. These are used when terrain, obstructions or other considerations do not allow turn anticipation. In this instance the aircraft must over-fly the waypoint before initiating the turn and will overshoot the next course centerline. The turn is then followed through to an intercept heading which will allow the aircraft to return to the next course centerline.
49Federal AviationAdministration
FAASTeam CFI Workshop #2
