2-2-6. MAXIMUM PERMISSION EXPOSURE LEVEL (MPEL)

(Figure 2-7)

To avoid the area where the radiations level exceed the 10W/cm2 US standard, all personnel should stand beyond the
distance indicated in the following figure. The distance from dangerous area limit is calculated, considering the wider
antenna available with the RDR-2000 system, the estimated output power of the transmitter, and with the antenna in firm
or aligned position. Using a scanning beam, the power density at dangerous area limit has been substantially reduced.

2-2-9. GNS 530 SYSTEM (GPS)

(Figure 2-8)

The Garmin GNS 530 offers accurate navigational data and communication capability along with non-precision and
precision approach certification in the IFR environment.
The system consists of a receiver, an antenna and a control panel.
The system is powered by 28 VDC through the GPS circuit breaker.

NOTE
If the GNS 530 has not been operated for a period of six months or
more, it may have to ″Search the Sky″ to collect new data. This means
the unit is acquiring satellite data to establish almanac and satellite
orbit information, which can take 5 to 10 minutes. The Satellite Status
Page displays a ″Searching Sky″ status, and the message annunciator
(MSG) above the MSG key also flashes to alert of a system message,
″Searching the Sky″. The Message Page appears and displays the
status or warning information applicable to the receiver's current
operating condition. To return to the previous page after viewing a
message, press MSG again.

Communication

– The system features a digitally-tuned VHF COM radio that provides a seamless transition from communication to
navigation, bringing the two most important functions in flying together in one-panel mounted unit. The GNS 530's
COM radio operates in the aviation voice band, from 118.000 to 136.975 MHz, in 25 kHz steps (default). For
European operations, a COM radio configuration to allow for 8.33 kHz steps is also provided.

Navigation

– The system's main pages are divided into groups: NAV, WPT, AUX and NRST. While viewing any of these pages,
selection of another page is a simple selection process using the small and large right knobs.

– An autozoom feature is available of the Default NAV page, which automatically adjusts from an en-route scale of
200 nautical miles through each lower scale, stopping at 5.0 nautical miles as the destination waypoint is approached.
By default, the autozoom feature is disabled.

– The system allows to fly non-precision and precision approaches to airports with published instrument approach
procedures. All available approaches are stored on your Jeppersen NavData card, and are automatically updated
when you replace the card with a new one.

– The system uses a flashing ″MSG″ annunciator at the bottom of the screen (directly above the MSG key) to alert of
any important information or warnings. While most messages are advisory in nature, warning messages may require
an intervention. Whenever the ″MSG″ annunciator flashes, press the MSG key to display the message. Press MSG
again to return to the previous page.

– The system lets create up to 20 different flight plans, with up to 31 waypoints in each flight plan.
