GPS RECEIVER OPERATION

Each GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) contains a GPS receiver. Information collected by the speciﬁed

receiver (GPS1 for the #1 IAU or GPS2 for the #2 IAU) may be viewed on the AUX - GPS Status Page.

GPS1 provides information to the pilot-side PFD and GPS2 provides data to the copilot-side PFD. Internal

system checking is performed to ensure both GPS receivers are providing accurate data to the PFDs. In some

circumstances, both GPS receivers may be providing accurate data, but one receiver may be providing a better

GPS solution than the other receiver. In this case the GPS receiver producing the better solution is automatically

coupled to both PFDs. “BOTH ON GPS 1” or “BOTH ON GPS 2” are then displayed in the Reversionary Sensor

Window (see Appendix A) indicating which GPS receiver is being used. Both GPS receivers are still functioning

properly, but one receiver is performing better than the other at that particular time.

These GPS sensor annunciations are most often seen after system power-up when one GPS receiver has

acquired satellites before the other, or one of the GPS receivers has not yet acquired a WAAS signal. While

the aircraft is on the ground, the WAAS signal may be blocked by obstructions causing one GPS receiver to

have difﬁculty acquiring a good signal. Also, while airborne, turning the aircraft may result in one of the GPS

receivers temporarily losing the WAAS signal.

If the sensor annunciation persists, check for a system failure message in the Messages Window on the PFD.

If no failure message exists, check the GPS Status Page and compare the information for GPS1 and GPS2.

Discrepancies may indicate a problem.

Viewing GPS receiver status information

1) Use the large FMS Knob to select the Auxiliary Page Group (see Section 1.7 for information on navigating MFD

page groups).

2) Use the small FMS Knob to select GPS Status Page.

Selecting the GPS receiver for which data may be reviewed

1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - GPS Status Page.
