1.1.2 ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
An additional ARNAV 5115 RPU (Remote Processing Unit) P/N 453-2530-08 is required to display
AFIS weather graphics on GNS-XLS CDU P/N 17960-0203-XXXX. Refer to 2.2.5 ARNAV RE-
MOTE PROCESSING UNIT INSTALLATION for installation considerations.
1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1.2.1 GNS-XLS SYSTEM
The GNS-XLS is an integrated, long-range, multi-sensor navigation and frequency management
system comprised of the GNS-XLS Control Display Unit (CDU) and a GPS antenna The CDU has
an internal GPS receiver with four antenna options.
A. Navigation Capabilities
In addition to conventional selected course/waypoint area navigation, the GNS-XLS
provides direct point-to-point navigation along geodesic routes from selected origin
and destination waypoints. The GNS-XLS (except P/N 17960-0101-XXXX) is ca-
pable of FDE operation using GPS as the sole source of oceanic navigation, and
is Basic Area Navigation (BRNAV) capable per AC 90-96. Other navigation capa-
bilities include:
1. Navigation from flight plans which allows the use of published
routes or other flight paths more complex than direct point-to-point
navigation.
2. Parallel track flight which allows flight at a selected distance from
and parallel to the originally selected track.
3. Vertical navigation along ascent and descent profiles whose end
points are related to flight plan waypoints.
Revision 9, Nov/2005 10528I09.JA Page 1-1

J GNS-XLS
4. The ability to capture the coordinates of a pilot defined waypoint and

produce a labeled waypoint.
5. The ability to designate waypoints by identifier, latitude and longi-
tude, or by radial and distance, relative to a selected reference
point.
B. Enhanced Capabilities
In addition to the above navigation capabilities, the GNS-XLS P/N 17960-0203-
XXXX provides the enhanced capabilities of search and rescue, enhanced ground
proximity warning system graphics, AFIS weather graphics, and an ARINC 734A
GPS interface.
1.2.2 FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT
The Frequency Management capability of the GNS-XLS provides complete control of COMM,
NAV, ADF, and DME frequencies and Transponder IDENT. Selected frequencies for all active
systems are displayed on the Control Display Unit (CDU).
1.2.3 DATABASE
The GNS-XLS is an "earth-oriented" navigation system that determines its location in terms of lat-
itude and longitude. Positional data inputs to the system must also be defined by latitude and lon-
gitude, or referenced to a point on the ground whose latitude and longitude are known. The data
base in the CDU can be loaded with an extensive library of navaid data, which includes the latitude
and longitude of the following:
A. VHF navaids including all co-located VOR/DME ground stations, VOR only ground
stations, DME only ground stations, VORTAC, TACAN, and ILS/DME stations.
B. Airport Reference Points of all airports with hard surfaced runways with a length of
2000 feet or more, as well as airport outer markers and runway thresholds.
C. High and Low Altitude Waypoints, Standard Instrument Departure (SID) waypoints,
Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) waypoints, Approach Intersections, and
Non-precision Approaches.
The data base loaded into the GNS-XLS at the time of manufacture includes current worldwide na-
vaids and Airport Reference Points for airports with runways of 2000 feet or greater. GNS-XLS
System owners are shipped data base revisions every 28 days in the form of a Personal Computer
Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card. The first year revision subscription cost
is included in the purchase price of the system, and begins at the date of warranty registration.
Additional revision service may be purchased for an additional fee.
1.2.4 ARINC INTERFACES
The GNS-XLS may be interfaced to ARINC 704 IRS, ARINC 571 INS, or ARINC 743 GPS sensors.
1.2.5 VLF/OMEGA
The GNS-XLS was originally certified with optional VLF/Omega sensors. Since the Omega net-
work was decommissioned in 1997, VLF/Omega information has been removed from this manual.

1.7 LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

There are no license requirements for the GNS-XLS Flight Management System.
1.8 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS

FAR Part 25.1529 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness is met per the following instructions:
A. The removal of the GNS-XLS is on the condition of failure. There is no required
maintenance. Suggested maintenance is covered in Section 1.9 SUGGESTED
MAINTENANCE of this manual.
1.9 SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE

A. The lithium battery located within the GNS-XLS CDU provides power to memory
and the Real Time Clock (RTC) when the unit is turned off. When the battery nears
the end of life, the first indication of battery failure is the initial time displayed on the
Initialization page will be incorrect. Incorrect time will increase the time required for
the initial GPS satellite acquisition. Approximately one month after the Real Time
Clock begins to be incorrect, MEM FAIL and CNFG DATA CHANGED messages
may appear, indicating flight plans, parallax adjustments, and the configuration
module checksum may be lost. Flight plans may still be entered manually, and the
GNS-XLS will still read the configuration module correctly. It is strongly recom-
mended that the battery be replaced within one month of noticing the above symp-
toms.
If the owner prefers to replace the battery on a periodic maintenance schedule, the
suggested maintenance interval is four years. If a Battery Installation Date label is
not present, date of delivery may be used as the starting date.

J GNS-XLS
B. The lamp which illuminates the LCD display on the GNS-XLS CDU should be re-
placed every 6,500 hours of operation. Operation in excess of this interval may re-
sult in reduced readability of the display in sunlight. Total failure of the lamp is also
possible, resulting in a dark display.
C. The lamp which illuminates the alpha-numeric keyboard should be replaced every
10,000 hours of operation. Operation in excess of this interval can result in an in-
ability to achieve the 1 Foot-Lambert level required for an undimmed keyboard.
D. All maintenance should be performed at an authorized service center.

SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2.0 INTRODUCTION
This section contains factors to consider when installing the GNS-XLS Flight Management System.
Close attention to these factors will assure satisfactory performance from the equipment.
The conditions and test required for the TSO and MOPS approval of this article are minimum per-
formance standards. It is the responsibility of those installing this article either on or with a speci-
fied type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO
and MOPS standards. These articles must have separate approval for installation in an aircraft.
Any features in this equipment outside the requirements of this applicable TSO and MOPS must
be evaluated and approved as part of the installation approval. The article may be installed only
if performed under 14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements.
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT

Exercise extreme caution when unpacking equipment. Perform a visual inspection of the unit for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a damage claim must be filed, save the shipping
container and all packing materials to substantiate your claim. The claim should be filed as soon
as possible. The shipping container and all packing materials should be retained in the event that
storage or re-shipment of the equipment is necessary.
2.2 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

2.2.1 GENERAL
The following paragraphs contain information for the installation of the GNS-XLS Flight Manage-
ment System, including the location and mounting of the antennas.
The equipment should be installed in the aircraft in a manner consistent with acceptable workman-
ship and engineering practices, and in accordance with the instructions set forth in this publication.
To ensure the system has been properly and safely installed in the aircraft, the installer should
make a thorough visual inspection and conduct an overall operational check of the system, on the
ground, prior to flight.
CAUTION:
AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE CABLING
AND BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THE
EQUIPMENT, A CHECK SHOULD BE MADE
WITH THE AIRCRAFT PRIMARY POWER
SUPPLIED TO THE MOUNTING CONNEC-
TOR, TO ENSURE THAT POWER IS APPLIED
ONLY TO THE PINS SPECIFIED IN THE IN-
TERWIRING DIAGRAMS IN SECTION III SYS-
TEM PLANNING.
The GNS-XLS system installation will conform to standards designated by the customer, installing
agency, and existing conditions for unit location and type of installation. However, the following
factors should be carefully considered before installing your system.

J GNS-XLS
2.2.2 AVIONICS COOLING REQUIREMENTS FOR PANEL MOUNTED EQUIPMENT

The most important contribution to improved reliability of all avionics equipment is to limit the max-
imum operating temperature of the individual unit, whether panel or remote mounted. While mod-
ern circuit designs consume less total energy, the heat dissipated per unit volume (Watts/ cubic
inch) remains much the same due to contemporary high density packaging techniques. While
each individual unit may or may not require forced air cooling, the combined heat generated by
several units operating in a typical panel or rack, can significantly degrade the reliability of the
equipment. Consequently, the importance of providing forced air cooling to avionics equipment
mounted in either a panel or rack is essential to the life span of the equipment. Adequate provi-
sions for cooling should be incorporated during the installation.
2.2.3 CDU INSTALLATION
2.2.3.1 Cooling Considerations
The GNS-XLS is cooled by its own fan, which is installed in the rear of the unit. Make sure that the
unit is installed in a location where the ambient temperatures are -4 deg. F to +131 deg. F (-20
deg.C to +55 deg.C). When installing the GNS-XLS, make sure that cabling and other equipment
do not block the exhaust fan.
2.2.3.2 Installation Considerations
A. Select a mounting location that is within easy reach and clearly visible to the pilot
and which allows sufficient clearance at the rear of the unit for connectors and ca-
bles. Refer to FIGURE 2-1 GNS-XLS Viewing Limitations for screen visibility limita-
tions.
FIGURE 2-1 GNS-XLS Viewing Limitations

J GNS-XLS
B. No more than 8 dB signal loss is allowed in the GPS antenna cable run. Refer to
TABLE 1-9 Low Gain GPS Antenna Cable Selection and TABLE 1-10 High Gain
GPS Antenna Cable Selection for information on cable types and lengths for the var-
ious antennas.
C. All TNC connectors must have safety wire holes and must be safety wired by cross
wiring between connectors or by wiring to their respective assemblies.
2.2.3.3 Installation Procedure
A. Cut the panel opening as shown in FIGURE 2-4 CDU Instrument Panel Mounting
Provision Drawing and mount the Dzus rails on either side of the cutout.
B. Attach the harness to the rear connector.
C. Slide the unit into the panel and secure it with the Dzus fasteners on either side of
the faceplate.
2.2.4 CONFIGURATION MODULE INSTALLATION

Make sure that the unit is installed in a location where the ambient temperatures are -67 deg. F to
+131 deg. F (-55 deg. C to +55 deg. C).
The Configuration Module is mounted to the backshell of the mating connector of the CDU. Make
sure to leave adequate space to mount the Configuration Module when installing the CDU.
A. Install the Configuration Module onto the backshell of the CDU mating connector.
Refer to FIGURE 2-3 GNS-XLS Outline and Mounting Drawing.
B. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the Configuration Module.
2.2.5 ARNAV REMOTE PROCESSING UNIT INSTALLATION

The ARNAV 5115 RPU (Remote Processing Unit) is required to display AFIS weather graphics on
GNS-XLS CDU P/N 17960-0203-XXXX. A 5115 Installation Kit P/N 453-0083 is required to install
the. 5115 RPU.

2.2.6 GPS ANTENNA INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The GPS antenna should be mounted on top of the fuselage near the cockpit and in the centerline
of the aircraft. Avoid mounting the antenna near any projections, and the tail of the aircraft, where
shadows could occur. It is recommended that there be a separation of at least 3 feet between the
GPS antenna and any VHF Comm antenna on the aircraft. Antenna baseplate must be level with-
in 5 degrees in both axes when the aircraft is in level flight. See FIGURE 2-2 GPS Antenna Pre-
ferred Location.
FIGURE 2-2 GPS Antenna Preferred Location

J GNS-XLS
2.2.7 GPS ANTENNA INSTALLATION

A. Antenna Location
1. Mount the GPS antenna on the centerline of the aircraft on the air-
craft skin.
2. Mount the GPS antenna on the top of the aircraft, over the cockpit
or on top of the tail of the aircraft. See FIGURE 2-2 GPS Antenna
Preferred Location.
NOTE:
This location reduces the possibility of obstructing
the satellite signal because of shadowing.
3. Mount the GPS antenna on the aircraft skin which is horizontal dur-
ing enroute flight.
4. Mount the GPS antenna as far as possible from other radiating de-
vices (3 feet minimum from VHF comms, HF comms, etc. and a
minimum of 1 foot from any Satcomm antenna).
5. Mount the dual GPS antennas at least 10 inches from each other.
B. Installation
1. Make sure the GPS antenna is well-bonded to the aircraft skin.
2. Make sure the GPS antenna is sealed to the aircraft to prevent cor-
rosion from forming between the skin of the aircraft and the anten-
na.
3. Perform system checkout using the instructions in SECTION IV
POST INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION AND CHECK OUT.

SYSTEM PLANNING
3.0 INTRODUCTION
GNS-XLS Flight Management System requirements, system installation options, pin function lists,
block diagrams, and interconnect diagrams, and the electrical characteristics of the various inter-
faces are contained in this section. Refer to FIGURE 3-1 GNS-XLS System Block Diagram.
Detailed information concerning the purpose and operation of common interfaces are described
in the following sections.
Any operational requirements or limitations relating to an interface are described in the following
sections. Widely followed regulatory requirements may also be described here. Regionally en-
forced requirements vary greatly and adherence to them remain the responsibility of the installing
agency.
Electrical characteristics and format of interface signals are described in the following sections.
Any version-related differences in signal format are also described. Overlined pin names gener-
ally indicate active low signals, although the absence of an overline does not necessarily indicate
an active high signal.
Included are several interconnect drawings for commonly installed equipment interfaced to the
GNS-XLS. The installing agency should contact Product Support for information regarding the
compatibility of equipment not listed in this manual.
3.0.1 SHIELD TERMINATION
The harness techniques for shielding and shield termination described in this manual are identical
to those specified for the test harness used during HIRF and Lightning test certification. Adher-
ence to the information in this manual is essential to establish a certified installation environment
equivalent to the test environment used during the HIRF and Lightning test certification.
If grounding the shields at both ends of a wire causes unacceptable interference due to noise
sources on an aircraft, double shielded wire may be substituted for single shielded wire shown in
this manual. The outer shield must be grounded at both ends to comply with HIRF and Lightning
requirements. The inner shield may then be grounded at a single end to protect against the air-
craft noise source. Normally the inner shield is grounded at the source end of the signal carried
by the wire. Installing double shielded wire for low level signals known to have a history of inter-
ference may be easier than later adding the double shielded wire into the aircraft harness.
For grounding shields, follow guidelines contained in AC 43.13-1B, chapter 11.

tion on the GAMA bus.

J GNS-XLS
3.4 GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM

3.4.1 GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM FUNCTION
The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio positioning, navigation, and time-transfer
system. A computer within the GPS receiver unit continuously determines the position of all or-
biting GPS satellites from data messages broadcast by the satellites. The receiver uses this in-
formation to determine which satellites are currently in view. The GPS then translates the re-
ceived signals from the satellites in view into a three-dimensional position (latitude, longitude, and
altitude), velocity, and time. Predictable system accuracy for civil users should be about 100
meters with greater accuracy available through decryption algorithms available only to the Depart-
ment of Defense.
3.4.2 INTERNAL GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM
The primary GPS used with the GNS-XLS is the internal GPS receiver contained in the GNS-XLS.
This GPS Receiver is certified for IFR enroute and approach use and can be used for primary nav-
igation.
3.4.3 INTERNAL GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
The only external connection to the internal GPS receiver is the antenna coax. There are three
antennas available for the internal GPS receiver. See Section 1.4.3 GPS ANTENNAS for coax
types and lengths. For correct installation the following list of instructions should be closely ad-
hered to:
A. To properly install the GPS do not exceed the maximum cable lengths specified in
TABLE 1-9 Low Gain GPS Antenna Cable Selection and TABLE 1-10 High Gain
GPS Antenna Cable Selection.
B. Do not bundle the GPS receiver coax with other transceiver coaxial cables.
C. The center conductor of the coax must be soldered to the center contact of the con-
nector. Crimp style connectors have been shown to be unreliable.
D. Use the crimp tool specified by the crimp connector manufacture for all connector
assembly.
E. Use the connectors specified in Sections 1.5.1 CONTROL DISPLAY UNIT IN-
STALLATION KIT and 1.5.2 GPS ANTENNA CONNECTOR.
F. Do not use intermediate bulkhead connectors with coaxial cabling between the an-
tenna and the CDU.

3.5 ANNUNCIATOR FUNCTIONS

ACTIVE = GND
INACTIVE = OPEN
The following six outputs are provided to annunciate GNS-XLS conditions. they may be used to
illuminate lamps, engage relays, or to be sensed directly by other systems. The term illuminate,
as used below, indicates the active low state of the annunciator output. All the annunciator outputs
described in this section originate at the GNS-XLS.
SELECTED CROSSTRACK WARN:
When illuminated, indicates that the system is tracking a course offset and parallel
to the flight plan.
APPROACH ANNUNCIATOR:
When illuminated, indicates that the system is in the approach mode of operation.
HEADING MODE ANNUNCIATOR:
When illuminated, indicates that the system is using FMS heading to control steer-
ing to the autopilot.
WAYPOINT ANNUNCIATOR:
When illuminated, indicates that the aircraft will soon arrive at the active waypoint.
DR ANNUNCIATOR:
When illuminated, indicates that the system is in the Dead Reckoning mode of op-
eration.
MESSAGE ANNUNCIATOR:
When flashing, indicates that there is an item on the Message page which requires
the pilot's attention.
3.5.1 ANNUNCIATOR REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
Message (MSG), Waypoint (WPT), Dead Reckoning (DR), Selected Crosstrack Warning, and
FMS Heading (FMS HDG) annunciators are required for all systems. Approach (APPR) annunci-
ation is needed for GPS approaches. Some EFIS systems will annunciate this, so a discrete an-
nunciator is not needed. Additional annunciator requirements will vary according to the system
configuration, operational considerations and applicable regulatory requirements.
3.5.2 ANNUNCIATOR ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
CAUTION:
Annunciators to be DC voltage only with a max-
imum of +33 Vdc. Annunciator dimming may be
by photocell or day/night switch. Do not use
panel lighting rheostat dimmed bus.
These outputs are open collector transistors. When active, the transistor is turned on and con-
ducting which provides a sink to ground for a load such as a lamp or a relay.

3.7.4 AUTOTUNE FEATURE
The GNS-XLS will automatically tune the NAV radios when the AUTOTUNE mode is selected.
3.7.4.1 Autotune Enable Inputs
REQUEST FOR AUTOTUNE = MOMENTARY GND
There are two switch inputs on the FMS that may be connected to two AUTO/MAN switches
mounted in the cockpit. These switches provide a momentary contact to ground. Each time either
switch is depressed, the FMS will change states, either from manual radio tuning mode or auto-
tuning mode.
Autotune mode will be annunciated as described in Section 3.5.4 NAV AUTOTUNE ANNUNCIA-
TOR.
In dual systems, both NAV 1 AUTOTUNE inputs are tied together. The same is true for the NAV
2 AUTOTUNE inputs. The inputs are internally pulled up to +15 Vdc through a 4.7 k ohm resistor.

Four discretes are provided to disable autotuning of the VOR and DME. These discretes may be
configured to be either all high level (28 Vdc or 0 Vdc) or all open/ground type discretes.
Each TUNE DISABLE input can be configured to specify its function (VOR SELECTED or LNAV
SELECTED) and logic state (ACTIVE HIGH = LNAV SELECTED). Unused inputs must be
strapped to enable or disable tuning as desired by the installer.
A configuration strap (AUTOTUNE STRAP 1 and 2) will select the type of AUTOTUNE DISABLE,
either 28 VDC/OPEN or GND/OPEN. With the strap connected, all inputs are defined as GND/
OPEN type.
Ground is less than 100 ohms.
Open is more than 20 k ohms to ground.
A. 28 VDC/OPEN
Straps are not connected. If any input is open or 28 Vdc, depending on configura-
tion, AUTOTUNE is disabled.
B. GND/OPEN

3.15 AUTOPILOT INTERFACE

A roll steering signal is provided for input to the autopilot. For GPS approaches FMS Roll Steering
must be used. Also, valid Auto TAS input and valid heading must be present for Roll Steering to
be operational.
3.15.1 ROLL STEERING AC OUTPUT
Source: Isolation transformer or equivalent. Both sides are isolated from
ground.
Range: 0 to +12 Vac (+30.5 degrees).
Resolution: Less than 40 mV.
Accuracy: 1% full scale.
Index Reference: Zero feet cross track distance and zero degree track angle error.
Positive Direction
Sense: Command signal is in phase with the 26 Vac, 400 Hz autopilot
reference for a right turn.
Scale Factor: 0.393 Vrms per degree of roll command.
Load Capacity: k ohm min.
Steering: Roll Command (degrees) = K1 x (cross track distance) + K2 x
(ground speed) x (track angle error)
Where:
Cross Track Distance = feet.
Ground Speed = feet/second.
Track Angle Error = degrees.
K1 and K2 are switched as a function of Track Intercept or ON Track.
When on track, the gains are modified further as a function of latitude,
aircraft heading, and ground speed.

3.16 INTRA-SYSTEM INTERFACE

Dual GNS-XLS installations require a connection between the two systems to cross fill flight plan
data, exchange NAV sensor data, and resolve master/slave logic. A bidirectional data bus is pro-
vided to satisfy this requirement. This data bus has the electrical characteristics of ARINC 429,
but communicates with a proprietary data format. Both the transmitter and receiver operate at a
high speed (100 kB/s) data rate. Label information is as follows:
PARAMETER LABEL INTERVAL
Message Word #1 010 Demand
Message ACK Code 005 Demand

3.17 GAMA ARINC 429 INTERFACE

The GNS-XLS provides a GAMA 429 port to transmit map data, weather radar information, and
steering commands to the IC-600. The labels are configurable for high or low speed data rate.
The receiving equipment should allow a label to be absent for at least three typical intervals before
flagging it as invalid. This will protect against transient noise on the bus.

3.17.3 BAE 146 EFIS CONFIGURATION-HIGH SPEED BUS

In addition to all labels defined in paragraph 3.17.1 HIGH SPEED BUS, the following labels are
also transmitted when configured for the BAe 146 EFIS.

NOTES: 1. Labels 115-Bearing to Waypoint, 275-Status Discretes, 074-Data Record
Header and 303-Message/Length/Type/Number have a modified GAMA 429
format when configured for the BAe 146 EFIS.
2. The Honeywell EFIS Control Panel used in the BAe 146 transmits two (2) ARINC
429 labels to the GNS-XLS. To receive these labels (272 - EFIS Discrete Mode
Word, and 273 - EFIS Discrete Range Word) on the INX/WX/EFIS 429 receive
bus (J101-F5 and J101-F6), the GNS-XLS must be configured for NO Concentrated
Data Bus, and there must not be any INS/IRS position units configured.
If a Concentrated Data Bus and/or INS/IRS position units are configured, the
EFIS discrete word labels will be received by the GNS-XLS on the DADC/WX/EFIS
429 receive bus (J101-F1 and J101 F2).
Refer to SECTION IV POST INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION AND CHECK OUT for information
regarding configuration options.
When the BAe 146 Configuration selection is made, the value on the GAMA Label 116 for Lateral
Course Deviation Indication is scaled so that Legacy Honeywell EFIS will display the values re-
quired by TSO C129. Label 326 puts out a scaling reference value for all EFIS configurations.
TABLE 3-6 Additional 429 Outputs for BAe 146 Configuration

Required CDI Scale
Enroute 5.0 nmi Raw CDI (2/3) 5
Terminal 1.0 nmi Raw CDI (1/7.5) 1
Approach 0.3 nmi Raw CDI (1/25) 0.3
Label 326 is not looked at by the Legacy Honeywell EFIS so the scaling of Label 116 is required
to meet the TSO C129 requirements.

3.21 EGPWS INTERFACE

The GNS-XLS (part number 17960-0203-XXXX) has the capability to display terrain data from an
Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) through the KCPB bus. The GNS-XLS
also provides GPS data to the EGPWS through the RADIO 429 TRANSMIT 1/ EGPWS bus. The
GNS-XLS GAMA 429 bus can also be used to provide data to the EGPWS. See Section 3.17
GAMA ARINC 429 INTERFACE for GAMA 429 bus definition. See FIGURE 3-27 Single GNS--
XLS to EGPWS Interconnect and FIGURE 3-28 Dual GNS-XLS to EGPWS Interconnect for GNS-
XLS to EGPWS interconnections.
EGPWS Data Inputs to GNS-XLS:
J101 Q4 KCPB RX (H)
J101 Q5 KCPB RX (L)
J101 Q6 KCPB TERMINATION
Terrain display data is provided by the EGPWS to the GNS-XLS by the KCPB bus. The KCPB bus
is input to the GNS-XLS on J101 pin Q4, pin Q5, and pin Q6. Pin Q4 is the HI side of the bus, and
pin Q5 or pin Q6 is the LO side of the bus. Pin Q6 has an impedance termination, and should be
used for the low side connection with a single FMS displayed on the bus. When more than one
FMS or display is connected to the same KCPB bus output, the display with the most distance
from the EGPWS should be connected to pin Q6. The other FMS units connect to pin Q5.

3.22 SEARCH AND RESCUE CAPABILITIES

The GNS-XLS (part number 17960-0203-XXXX) may be configured to enable the following search
and rescue features:
• Orbit, Ladder, Sector, Parallel Line, and Expanding Square Search patterns in flight planning.
• Target waypoints from external weather radar or infrared radar systems.
• Mark-On-Target waypoints.
• Tokyo Datum latitude/longitude conversion.
3.22.1 MARK-ON-TARGET DISCRETE INPUT
The GNS-XLS (part number 17960-0203-XXXX) may be configured for search and rescue target
waypoints. When configured for target waypoints, a Mark-On-Target discrete input is available.
When the discrete is active, the aircraft position is entered as a target waypoint.
The Mark-On-Target is ACTIVE +28 Vdc. Momentary activation of the Mark-On-Target Discrete
input generates a target waypoint. The ACTIVE +28 Vdc input is connected to pin N12 as shown
below. When not configured for target waypoints, pin N12 is a spare input marked as:
spare_in_flag_1.

J. Repeat Steps 4.5.4.G through 4.5.4.I. to verify the current GPS position. If no sat-
ellites are tracked on GPS SUBSECTION 3/3 page, the GPS sensor is not receiv-
ing the satellite signal. Check the connectors and cabling between the CDU and
the GPS antenna.
4.5.5 GPS INTERFERENCE CHECKOUT
A. Press the NXT Key to display the FIGURE 4-417 GPS SUBSECTION 3/3 PAGE.
B. Select a frequency of 121.15 MHz on COMM 1. Transmit for a period of at least

20 seconds. Verify that no satellites with an elevation greater than 255 displays an
N in the track (T) column.
C. Repeat Step 4.5.5.B using 121.175, 121.20, 131.250, 131.275, and 131.30 MHz.
D. Repeat Steps 4.5.5.B and 4.5.5.C for each COMM installed in the aircraft.
E. If any of the above actions causes interference in tracking a satellite, it is necessary
to identify the source of the interference. There are two common sources:

J GNS-XLS
1. The 12th and 13th harmonics of the frequencies tested above can
be radiated from the VHF COMM at a level strong enough to cause
interference with the GPS receiver and still be low enough to meet
TSO requirements for the VHF COMM. If this is found to be the
source of the interference, an optional notch filter (Honeywell P/N
071- 01565-0000 or TED Mfg P/N 4-70-54) will need to be installed.
This inline filter should be installed as close to VHF transceiver as
possible.
2. Interference can also be caused by re-radiation from an ELT (Emer-
gency Locator Transmitter). The radiated RF from the VHF COMM
can excite the output tank circuit of the ELT, causing it to oscillate
and radiate RF strong enough to interfere with the GPS receiver. If
disconnecting the ELT antenna eliminates the problem, the ELT
manufacturer should be contacted for a recommended solution.

SECTION V
CERTIFICATION
5.0 INTRODUCTION
This section outlines the procedures required to obtain IFR certification for the GNS-XLS. Recom-
mended flight test procedures are also included.
NOTE:
This section contains examples and guidance for air-
craft installation. This does not in any way absolve
the installer from investigating and resolving any is-
sues related to certification on the aircraft. The ma-
terial in this section is for reference only.
5.1 CERTIFICATION PROCEDURE

5.1.1 EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY
Careful consideration must be paid to the electrical characteristics of existing equipment or pos-
sible additions that will be interfaced to the GNS-XLS Flight Management System, in order to en-
sure system compatibility. SECTION III SYSTEM PLANNING of this manual provides system
planning guidelines, and defines the electrical characteristics of the GNS-XLS Flight Management
System. The installing agency should contact Honeywell Product Support, for information regard-
ing the compatibility of equipment not listed in SECTION III SYSTEM PLANNING.
5.1.2 EQUIPMENT LOCATION
The GNS-XLS Flight Management System and associated indicators, annunciators, and switches
should be clearly visible and within easy reach of the pilot. Refer to SECTION II INSTALLATION
of this manual for complete installation information.
5.1.3 FAA REQUIREMENTS
The installing agency should contact a local FAA Inspector (GADO, FSDO, ACDO, MIDO, or
ACO) who will determine whether the installation may be approved by submitting FAA Form 337,
or whether a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) will be required. If FAA Form 337 is determined
to be sufficient, the installing agency should determine the acceptability of the procedures defined
within this manual. If the FAA Inspector determines that an STC is required, the installing agency
will need to contact the nearest Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), to obtain acceptable proce-
dures.
The FAA Central Region Aircraft Certification Office, Wichita, Kansas, has on file an approved re-
port regarding the GNS-XLS Flight Management System. This report contains the bench test data
and DO-160C environmental test data required to demonstrate the GNS-XLS Flight Management
System's compliance.
5.1.4 Flight Test
VFR or IFR approval will require a flight test to determine that the accuracy requirements, and gen-
eral functional requirements, are met. Flight test procedures are given in this manual.
5.1.5 FAA FORM 337
FAA Form 337 (if applicable) must be completed and submitted to the FAA. A sample checklist
is provided in the Certification Appendix of this manual.

J GNS-XLS
5.1.6 FLIGHT MANUAL REVISION

A Flight Manual Supplement is usually required for IFR approval. A sample supplement is provid-
ed in the Flight Manual Supplement Appendix, of this manual. The sample is to be used as a guide
to acceptable content and format, and is not intended to apply to all installations. It is the respon-
sibility of the installing agency to prepare an appropriate Flight Manual Supplement, and obtain
FAA approval.
5.1.7 PILOT BRIEFING
The installing agency should carefully review the Flight Manual Supplement and the GNS-XLS
Flight Management System Operator's Manual, P/N 006-08845-0000, with the owner/operator of
the aircraft.
5.2 FLIGHT TESTS

5.2.1 IFR APPROVAL
Flight testing to gain IFR approval involves several dynamics listed below:
1. Accuracy checks involving five or more over-flights of one or more surveyed posi-
tions. Flight Technical Error (FTE) budget is 1.0 nmi for enroute and terminal op-
erations, .25 nmi for approach operations.
2. Antenna shading checks by maneuvering the aircraft in turns up to 305 of bank for
one minute, in both directions.
3. Verifying proper interfaces by expected function, as well as "failing" circuit breakers
to record effects.
4. Verifying proper flight control system tracking when coupled to the GPS.
5. If seeking IFR approach approval, a minimum of three published approaches, re-
trieved from the database, must be conducted to verify proper operation of equip-
ment.
Reference FAA Advisory Circular AC 20-130A, for further details. Optionally AC20-138 can be
consulted for GPS issues. AC20-129 should be consulted for Aircraft Certification issues related
to Vertical Navigation (VNAV).

IFR approval was accomplished by STC SA3778NM, Master Drawing List number
651-017960, Revision 12, dated 02/05/97. The unit was manufactured to perfor-
mance specifications of TSO-C129.
B. Ground and flight tests were conducted and determined that the FMS does not in-
terfere with the normal operation of other equipment installed in the aircraft, and
the FMS equipment is not a source of objectionable electromagnetic interference.
Proper operation and accuracy were verified, and the unit functions properly and
safely in accordance with the manufacturers specifications.
C. The unit was mounted in the instrument panel location for avionics provided by the
manufacturer and is sufficient to ensure the restraint of the equipment when sub-
jected to emergency landing loads.
D. A navigation source annunciator is provided to indicate the primary display is dis-
playing NAV, or FMS. The FMS is coupled to the autopilot when the primary dis-
play is displaying FMS and the autopilot NAV function is selected.
E. Installed an FAA Approved Flight Manual Supplement in the aircraft flight manual,
and a Operator's Manual, number 006-08845-0000, Revision , dated
and a GNS-XLS Quick Reference number 006-08866-0000, Revision ,
dated , in the aircraft. Weight, balance, and equipment list
changes have been made in the aircraft flight manual.
