Remember:

Prior to engaging

Navigator

mode, a route must be programmed into the GPS

for the Autopilot to follow.

No GPS Data Alarm

If the autopilot is not receiving valid information while in GPS Mode, the No

GPS Data alarm will sound, and "NO GPS" will blink on the display. This

counld be caused by:

Incorrect wiring of the GPS to the KAP-866.

Incorrect data output from the GPS unit.

No route set up or selected in the GPS unit.

No location fix at the GPS unit.

The bearings generated by the GPS unit must correspond to the bearings the

KAP-866 is receiving from its magnetic compass. The greater the difference

between these Bearings, the less accurate will be the

Navigator

mode steering.

Ensure that the GPS unit has the correct magnetic correction factor.

Ensure that the KAP-866 compass is correctly aligned and installed.
