The instrument panel self-test page includes selections to set fuel on board (FOB)
to full capacity and access the checklists page. This allows you to quickly set fuel to full
limits and display any checklists you’ve entered, such as start up or takeoff checklists.
To set fuel on board to full (if not provided by sensor):
1. Rotate the large right knob ( d ) to highlight “Set Full Fuel?”.
2. Press E and verify that fuel on board (“FOB”) now matches the fuel capacity (CAP) figure.
Fuel on board will now be reduced, over time, based on the fuel flow (FF) figure.
To view the checklists page:
1. Rotate the large right knob ( d ) to highlight “Go To Chklist?” and press E .
2. Rotate the large ( d ) right knob to select the desired checklist, then follow the steps on page
147 to execute each step in the selected checklist.
3. Once you complete the desired checklist(s), press the small right knob ( v ) to return to the
checklists page. Press the small right knob ( v ) again to return to normal operation on the
satellite status or map pages.
Once you’ve verified instrument operation with the instrument panel self-test page
displayed, press the E key.
The satellite status page will appear as the GNS 430 begins to collect satellite informa-
tion. An ‘Acquiring’ status will be displayed on the satellite status page, and the signal
strength of any satellites received will appear as “bar graph” readings. This is a good
indication that you are receiving signals and a position fi x will be determined. Following
the fi rst-time use of your GNS 430, the time required for a position fi x will vary—usually
from one to two minutes.
Select “Set Full Fuel?” to set fuel on board
(FOB) to full capacity.
Select “Go To Chklist?” to display the check-
list page and any available checklists. The
GNS 430 can hold up to nine checklists with
up to 30 entries in each checklist.
