The time required for RAIM prediction computation depends on the route

distance (i.e., 1000 nautical miles = approximately 2 minutes) and the enroute speed.
The longer the route distance and the slower the enroute speed, the longer the time.
If RAIM unavailability is detected based on the associated requirement, the prediction
process will stop immediately and display ‘NO RAIM’ as shown in Figure 4.

‘NO RAIM’ does not mean RAIM is unavailable for the entire route. This

message results when RAIM unavailability is detected for more than 5 minutes at any
point along the intended flight (based on BRNAV requirements).

If a satellite is listed as ‘out of service’ by NOTAM, you may use the ‘rem

sat’ (remove satellite) field to prevent a particular satellite from being used in the
Route RAIM prediction (e.g., removing satellite 9 in Figure 4).

To exclude a satellite from the Route RAIM prediction:

1. Highlight the ‘rem sat’ field.

2. Rotate

K

to select the satellite to be excluded.

3. Press

E to accept.

4. Press

E again to begin Route RAIM Prediction without using the selected satellite.
