6. Select the GRS/GMU Calibration page and enter the following softkey password:

9. Use the cursor to highlight the BEFORE CALIBRATION window.
10. Follow the checklist items displayed on the PFD and press the ENT key as each one is completed
or confirmed. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENT key to begin the
procedure.
11. The PFD display advises the operator when to turn the aircraft, when to stop, and when to turn
again.
12. Upon instruction to turn, taxi the aircraft in a right turn. After approximately 25° to 30° of turn
from the last heading, the PFD display advises the operator to stop the aircraft.
NOTE
Due to the difficulties in executing smooth, accurate turns the PFD may incorrectly
interpret a station and instruct to “HOLD POSITION” prior to full completion of a
30° turn. If this scenario is encountered, it is best for the operator to ignore the
“HOLD POSITION” command and instead use outside references to complete the
approximate 30° turn. Instead of using the PFD instruction to turn as a real-time
indication of when to turn, simply judge the 30° (±5°) turn increments of the aircraft
by using the compass rose radials. Dwelling at these 30° increments for the time
recommended by the PFD should result in successful calibration.
13. The PFD guides the operator to dwell at multiple headings around a complete circle.
