No altitude input

- The GNC 300 has failed to receive altitude data

from the parallel input. Check the I/O settings
and/or the installation. If enough satellites are
available for a 3D position fix, no pilot action is
required, providing no RAIM warnings are pre-
sent. If only a 2D fix is possible, the pilot should
maintain the GPS altitude within 1,000 feet of
the pressure altitude from the position page.

No course input

- The GPS SEQ switch is set to the HOLD position

and has no selected course input from the
CDI/HSI. Check the state of configuration
switches if installed, or check the CDI/HSI unit.

No RAIM FAF to MAP

- RAIM may not be available from the final

approach fix to the missed approach point.
Continue to fly the approach, but be prepared
to cross-check GPS navigation with other navi-
gation sources if RAIM is not available.

Offset nav cancelled

- Offset nav has been cancelled due to a direct-to

operation or modification of the active route.

Offset nav in effect

- Offset navigation mode is in effect.

Ofst too big for rte

- The parallel track distance is too large for the

active route.

Osc needs adjustment - The GNC 300 has detected excessive drift in its inter-

nal crystal oscillator which may result in longer acqui-
sition time. The unit should be taken to an authorized
GARMIN service center immediately.

Poor GPS coverage

- The GNC 300 cannot acquire sufficient satellites

necessary to provide navigation.

Prox alarm-press NAV - Your craft has penetrated the alarm circle of a prox-

imity waypoint. Pres NAV to see the bearing and dis-
tance to the proximity waypoint.

Proximity overlap

- The circles defined by two proximity waypoints

overlap. When entering the area of the overlap,
the GNC 300 will warn you of the closest prox-
imity waypoint, but not both. You should be
certain this condition is desirable.

Proximity wpt locked

- At least one proximity waypoint is locked

because the waypoint has been removed from
the Jeppesen NavData®, the data card is miss-
ing, or the data card has failed.

Proximity wpt moved

- One or more prox. waypoints were moved at

least 0.33 arc minutes due to a database change.

Proximity wpt deleted - One or more proximity waypoints were deleted

while receiving data from the PC Interface Kit.

Pwr down and re-init

- The GNC 300 is unusable until power has been

cycled and the unit re-initialized. Abnormal satel-
lite conditions may exist.
