TASK
CHECK GPS SYSTEM OPERA TION
NOTE
Continue with the following checks only
after the Start-up procedures given in TM
11-5826-30812 or local directives have
been completed (for a COLD start) and
the GPS System is tracking 4 satellites.
The Mode switch (7) shall be positioned
on NAV.
7. With 4 satellites being tracked and the Figure of Merit
(FM) being 5 or less, set the Data switch (10) on the
CDU (4) to STAT. Slew (11) down to page 2 and write
down the Almanac Age displayed on line 2 (ALM
followed by numbers). Information will be needed later.
8. Depress the GPS Alert Indicator (18).
9. With the Data switch (10) of the CDU set to MSN, slew
(11) down to page 2. Press line select key two (12)
until THRESH: ENRT is displayed. Enter a figure of
merit on display (6) line three at least one level below
the existing GPS system figure of merit (FM) displayed
on line 1.
10.Depress the GPS/DOP lenses (13) on each of the two
HSI Mode Select Panels (14) (one each in pilot and
copilot instrument panels).

shall swing to show the bearing to the station with the
course deviation bar (21) centered. The Range (22) and
Course (23) readouts shall also be accurate. If the
number one needle (20) does not swing to show bearing to
the station or the Range (22) and Course (23) readouts
are not accurate, go to task 18-1.11.
Successful loading of keys shall be indicated by the
