GPS STEERING (GPSS)
NOTE: GPS Steering is only applicable to non-Garmin autopilots.
GPS Steering (GPSS) provides roll command signals calculated by the GPS navigator
to the non-Garmin autopilot in order to allow the aircraft to anticipate turns, make
smooth transitions when passing waypoints, and fly leg types such as procedure turns
and holding patterns.
GPS Steering is enabled by selecting 'GPS' as the active navigation source, HDG
mode on the non-Garmin autopilot, and touching GPSS on the PFD Options menu.
Enabling GPSS Mode:
1)
From the PFD, touch the HSI to display the PFD Options menu.
2)
Touch GPS from the 'CDI Source' options.
3)
Touch GPSS.
When GPSS is enabled, the heading bug will change to a hollow outline, and a
crossed-out heading bug symbol is displayed indicating the autopilot is not coupled
to the heading bug. The heading bug is still controllable and may still be used for
reference.
