As you approach a route waypoint, the GPS 155’s external waypoint annunciator will
flash 15 seconds before the turn anticipation point, and the GPS CDI will be replaced
by a flashing ‘Next dtk xxxº’ prompt (see right).

To use the turn anticipation feature, note the ‘Nxt dtk’ heading when the external

waypoint annunciator begins to flash, and start the turn when the annunciator glows
steadily (approximately 2 seconds before the turn anticipation point). Once you’ve
reached the turn anticipation point, the desired track (dtk) field on the CDI page will
change to display the course value for the next leg. If you have not adjusted your HSI
course selector before the turn, the ‘Next dtk’ will continue to flash until you have
reached the midpoint of the turn. Please refer to your aircraft flight manual supple-
ment for specific turn anticipation instructions.

In addition to the active route page, the GPS 155 features three other pages that

correspond to the route you are currently navigating: the approach select, STAR
select and SID select pages. These pages display the approach, SID or STAR cur-
rently selected, and list all other available procedures for the departure or arrival air-
ports. Because they are relevant to approach operations, these pages and their func-
tions are described in Section 4.
