TM 1-1520-240-103-3-20 tered in any of the 100 fly-to destinations. The landingapproach is determined by present position and the en-tered touch down altitude, glideslope and inbound ap-proach course.3-3-46. CDU Operation.Various required operating data, such an initial presentposition (if GPS is not valid or Doppler mode is selected).destination coordinates with or without GPS landingdata, and magnetic variation can at any time be enteredinto the CDU via its keyboard, or the dataloader via thepreprogrammed dataloader cartridge. In most cases,these data will be entered before the aircraft takes off.a.The GPS provides present positions to AN/ASN-128B. If GPS is not available or Doppler is selectedpresent position can be initialized as follows:(1)The MODE switch should be set to MGRS orLAT/LONG, the WT/TGT display position of the DISPLAYswitch is selected, the destination number is set to P andKYBD key is pressed. The coordinates of the initial posi-tion is overflown, the ENT key is pressed. The computerthen determines changes from the initial position contin-uously, and the coordinates of the current present posi-tion can be read either by remaining in this configurationor by setting the DISPLAY switch to PP (present position)and the MODE switch to MGRS or LAT/LONG.(2)To update present position over a storeddestination, KYBD key is depressed and released whenthe aircraft overflies this destination. If an update is de-sired, the ENT key is depressed and released and theupdate is completed. The DISPLAY switch is in the DIST/BRG/TIME position and the FLY-TO-DEST is set to thisdestination during this process. The distance-to-go, dis-played while over the stored destination, is the positionerror of the system at that moment.(3)To update present position over fixed pointnot previously stored in the computer, the DISPLAYswitch is placed PP and KYBD key is depressed andreleased as the fix point is overflown. This freezes thedisplay while allowing computation of changes in presentposition to continue within the computer. If an update isrequired, the coordinates of the fix point are entered viathe keyboard, and ENT key is pressed. The positionchange which occurred since over-flying the fix pointautomatically added to the fix point coordinates to com-plete the position update.(4)Magnetic variation can be entered for eachdestination, and the system will compute present posi-tion magnetic variation. If operation is to occur in a regionwith relatively constant magnetic variation, the operatorenters magnetic variation only for present position andthe computer will use this value throughout the flight. IfMGRS data are to be entered or displayed, the MGRSdatum of operation is also entered.b.Target-of-opportunity can be stored by pressingTGT STR (target store) key when the target is overflown.This operation stores the coordinates of the target in oneof ten destination locations in the computer; locations 90through 99 sequentially incrementing each time the TGTSTR key is depressed. The location is displayed in theappropriate display field. The computer can keep track ofindividual target positions which may include speeds anddirections input by the operator.c.Self test of the AN/ASN-128B is accomplishedusing built-in-test-equipment (BITE) with the RTA, SDC,and CDU units connected an energized for normal op-eration. Self test enables the unit to isolate failures to oneof the four main functions (RTA, SDC, CDU or EGR) orto one of the circuit cards in the SDC or CDU. Self test isaccomplished as follows: Self test of the AN/ASN-128Bis accomplished using built-in-test-equipment (BITE)with the RTA, SDC, and CDU units connected an ener-gized for normal operation. Self test enables the unit toisolate failures to one of the four main functions (RTA,SDC, CDU or EGR) or to one of the circuit cards in theSDC or CDU. Self test is accomplished as follows:(1)The CDU (except for the keyboard and dis-play) is checked on a continuous basis, and any failureis displayed by illumination of the MAL indicator lamp onthe CDU. If the MODE switch on the CDU is set to theTEST position, identification of the failed circuit card inthe CDU is indicated by a code on the display panel.(2)The DRVS and EGR are tested by settingthe MODE switch on the CDU to the TEST position.Failure of the DRVS or EGR are displayed on the CDUby illumination of the MAL indicator lamp, and identifica-tion of the failed unit or circuit card is indicated by a codeon the display panel of the CDU.(3)Continuous monitoring of the Signal DigitalData Converter and Receiver Transmitter Antenna isprovided by the system status indication. The system willnot use Doppler velocities in normal operation when fly-ing over glassy smooth water. However, if the systemcontinues to not use Doppler (e.g., using GPS only whencombined has been selected) for excessive periods oftime (e.g. more than10 minutes) over land or rough wa-ter, then a malfunction may exist in the navigation set andthe operator should set the MODE switch to TEST todetermine the nature of failure.(4)The display portion of the CDU is tested byilluminating all the lamp segments in each alphanumericcharacters in the LAMP TEST mode.(5)Keyboard operation is verified by observingthe alphanumeric characters as the keyboard is exer-cised.3-3-47. Route Sequencing Modes.The system has the ability to fly a preprogrammed se-quence of waypoints. This sequence can be either con-secutively numbered in which case a start and end way-point are entered or randomly numbered in which case
