The GPS 155XL lets you create up to 20 r outes (numbered 0 thr ough 19), with up to 31 waypoints each. Routes are created, copied and edited thr ough the R key , which features five r oute pages selectable from the GPS 155XL ’ s outer knob. The five route pages can be divided into two types: active route pages and a route catalog page .
The GPS 155XL ’ s route catalog page is used to create, edit, delete or copy routes, and serves as the main page for a host of functions. These include route activation, determining the closest point of approach and sear ch-and-rescue operations.
SEC TION 4 ROU TE NA V Creating & Editing Routes 63 The route editing function allows you to create new r outes and edit existing routes. Cr eating routes befor e takeoff can help make r oute operations faster and easier during your flight. T o create or edit a route fr om the route catalog page: 1.
ROU TE NA V Deleting & Activating Routes SEC TION 4 64 Once a route is defined thr ough the route catalog page, it may be activated from the route catalog page. Activating or r eversing a route places the selected r oute into route 0 and overwrites the existing active route.
ROU TE NA V Copying Routes CP A Function SEC TION 4 65 T o copy a route: 1. Press R and use O to display the route catalog page. 2. Use K to display the route to which you would like to copy . The route must be empty . 3. Press C and rotate K to select ‘copy?’.
ROU TE NA V Search & Rescue Operations SEC TION 4 66 The GPS 155XL ’ s search-and-rescue function pr ovides navigation guidance for search-and-r escue operations, navigating in a ladder pattern to maximize coverage and efficiency . This is done in reference to two waypoints called ‘anchor waypoints’.
The GPS 155XL ’ s Route RAIM Prediction Function evaluates enroute RAIM availability over the entire r oute that the pilot intends to fly . Route RAIM Prediction ensures that satellite coverage will be sufficient to meet the pr otection limits defined by BRNA V/RNP-5 (F AA Advisory Circular 90-96).
The time required for RAIM pr ediction computation depends on the route distance (i.e., 1000 nautical miles = approximately 2 minutes) and the enr oute speed.
ROU TE NA V Parallel T rack Offset Navigation SEC TION 4 69 During route navigation, it is sometimes desirable to navigate a specified distance away from the ‘active leg’ to help avoid certain airspaces or r egions. The GPS 155XL ’ s parallel track feature will automatically guide you along a selected offset from the active leg.

Section 5 Appr oaches, SIDs and S T AR s The GPS 155XL ’ s approach navigation mode allows you to fly non-precision approaches to airports with GPS and overlay pr ocedures using information contained on your Jeppesen NavData ® card.
The GPS 155XL works in conjunction with a set of external switches and your HSI (OBS) to fly GPS approaches. The external switches are used to contr ol GPS func- tions, and contain illuminated annunciators to indicate when functions are active. Y our installation must also have annunciators for waypoint arrival and GPS messages.
The GPS SEQ switch is used to select manual or automatic waypoint sequencing of waypoints. Setting the GPS SEQ switch to the HOLD position holds your current ‘active to’ waypoint as your navigation reference and pr events the GPS from sequenc- ing to the next waypoint.
Basic Rules of GPS Approaches The GPS 155XL is the first GPS certified to meet the requirements of TSO C-129a Category A1. When using the GPS 155XL for non-precision approaches, you’ll encounter two types of approaches: overlay appr oaches (based on existing pro- cedures) and GPS appr oaches (new approaches designed specifically for GPS).
• If you cr oss the same waypoint twice in succession during an appr oach (e.g., the IAF and F AF at the same waypoint, or radar vectors to the F AF), you must set the GPS SEQ switch to the HOLD position prior to cr ossing the fix the first time to prevent the GPS fr om sequencing to the next waypoint.
Flying A T ypical Appr oach The non-precision appr oaches available from the GPS 155XL will all follow the same general flow of events described below . Specific details and instructions relating to each step, along with several approach examples ar e provided later in this chapter .
5. T ransition to Active Approach Phase The approach will automatically transition to the active appr oach stage and the GPS APR annunciator will indicate an ‘ACTV’ status if the following conditions are met: a. The approach is armed b. The aircraft is 2 nm fr om the FAF on an inbound course c.
Selecting and Loading an Approach When an arrival airport is selected with the direct-to key (or created and activated in a route to the arrival airport), the appr oaches for your arrival airport become available through the appr oach select page , which can be viewed by pressing R and rotating the outer knob.
When the aircraft is within 30 nautical miles of the destination airport, the GPS 155XL will automatically arm the approach, and the GPS APR switch will indicate an ‘ARM’ status. T o fly the GPS approach (without radar vectors): 1. Confirm that the GPS APR switch indicates an ‘ARM’ status.
e. Set the GPS SEQ switch to the AUTO position. The GPS 155XL will resume automatic waypoint sequencing for the remaining approach waypoints. 4. Once the aircraft is within 2 nm of the F AF (and the approach is armed), the ‘ACTV’ annun- ciator will illuminate and the CDI scale will ramp down to 0.
If you’re not authorized to fly direct-to the missed approach holding point: 1. After the MAP has been crossed, press the D key . The GPS 155XL will automatically display the first waypoint of the missed approach procedure as the next approach waypoint.
The GPS 155XL ’ s approach select page allows you to review the available approach pr o- cedures at the destination airport. Fr om the procedur es list, you may select and activate a new procedur e on the fly .
GPS APPROACH EXAMPLES In the examples that follow , the GPS waypoints are shown along the approach path. In some cases, intermediate database waypoints have been added to approaches. These waypoints are named using lower case letters using the following convention (the most common database waypoints are defined below).
EXAMPLE 1— GPS ONL Y APPROACH Example 1 uses the GPS approach into Fr ederick Municipal Airport (KFDK) and illustrates the basic sequence of selecting and flying a GPS approach, and flying directly to a missed appr oach holding point. Please refer to the previous sections of this chapter for expanded keystroke instructions.
EXAMPLE 2 – VOR/GPS OVERLA Y APPROACH Example 2 uses the VOR/GPS R WY 19 approach into Kansas City Downtown Airport (KMKC) from the south and illustrates an appr oach with a procedure turn, which requires the pilot to set the GPS SEQ switch to the HOLD position prior to crossing the IAF the first time.
EXAMPLE 3 – VOR/DME ARC OVERLA Y APPROACH Example 3 uses the VOR/DME R WY 21 approach into T opeka/Forbes Field Airport (KFOE) and illustrates an approach based on a DME ar c.
6. Monitor your distance and bearing from the DME navaid along the arc. 7. The external CDI course deviation needle will begin to center as you approach the inbound course. The GPS WPT annunciator will flash 15 seconds before reaching the course fix, and the desired track for the final approach will appear in place of the graphic CDI.
EXAMPLE 4— RADAR VECTORS TO FINAL APPROACH COURSE Example 4 uses the same VOR/DME R WY 21 approach into T opeka/Forbes Field Airport (KFOE) used in Example 3 and illustrates an approach using radar vectors to a point 3 miles out from the final appr oach fix.
The Jeppesen database used in the GPS 155XL features standar d terminal ar rival routes (ST ARs) and standard instrument depar tures (SIDs) that may be placed into any active or stored r oute.
The SID select page also allows you to review all the available SIDs for the depar- ture airport and select, delete or change the active SID. T o replace/delete the active SID: 1.
