Smart Glide™ engine-out navigation - Enables/Disables Smart Glide in a G3X Touch installation. This
selection will not be present if either Vg or Sink Rate at Vg are not entered in the Aircraft Menu.
NOTE
If enabling Smart Glide on a G3X Touch system that is installed with a GTN XI series
navigator, Smart Glide should remain disabled in the GTN Xi configuration menu. All
Smart Glide configuration is to be handled through the G3X Touch.
Smart Glide Settings:
• Runway Surface - Select that runway surface type the aircraft is capable of using.
• Minimum Runway Length – The minimum runway length the aircraft is capable of using.
• Circling Direction - Can be set to always initiate left or right hand turns during a glide descent. If
left set to Auto, the system will choose the appropriate traffic direction if that information is
available for a specific airport. If that information is not available, traffic direction will be
determined based upon the orientation of the aircraft to the runway approach end.
VNAV Deviation Scale–Selects the range of distance represented on the VNAV Deviation Scale.
Available selections are +/-500 ft and +/-1000 ft.
External Navigator Selected Course–Determines whether the display(s) can control the selected course
for an external navigator. Available selections are Enable or Disabled. When Enabled, the G3X Touch can
set the selected course (using the G5/GDU). Set to Disabled only if the navigator is connected to an
external mechanical CDI/HSI.
The G3X Touch Internal GPS navigator can always be used to set the selected OBS course, regardless of
configuration settings.
