we thank you for your purchase of the NS 430 simulator module!
The NS 430 is a powerful navigation tool that provides pilots with precise flight/navigational information
and communications, as well as the means to plan and monitor the progress of their flight.
The device is designed for the continuous calculation and display of the aircraft's geoposition and flight
parameters on the device screen; display of the aircraft icon relative to the flight plan on the electronic
map; assistance to the crew by means of data on ground-based radio navigation, motion variables on
runways and within aviation hubs available in the instrument's database, and other such relevant data.
The NS430 provides the following functions:
• Display of precise geopositional data, with an aircraft indicator on the moving map and a
coordinate display on the information page of the instrument;
• Quick setup for navigating to a selected destination from the current location;
• Creation, editing, selection and activation of flight plans;
• Creation of custom WPTs;
• Indication of flight parameters with a graphical representation of the aircraft's deviation from
the flightpath of the specified route;
• Creation of a three-dimensional flight profile to ensure accurate vertical navigation;
• Calculation of fuel consumption;
• Obtaining information on air traffic;
• Creation of reminders;
• Access to flight checklists;

PAGES
NAV Pages
The navigation page group consists of 6 pages. While viewing any navigation pages, turn the small
right knob to select another page. You can be sure that such a selection procedure makes it very
easy to toggle between the navigation page set as default and the map page - the two most
frequently used pages. The other pages provide you with lists of frequencies for your flight plan;
show your current position; indicate the current reception of satellites; and define settings for vertical
navigation.
NAVdef Page
Figure 1: NAVdef Page
The first page is the NAVdef page, displayed as default. This page can be quickly selected from any
page using the CLR button (hold for 2 seconds).
The NAVdef page shows a graphic display of the deviation from the desired course (CDI) shown at the
top of the page. Unlike the angular limits used on mechanical indicators, the scale limit for this indicator
is defined by the ends of the scale. By default, the scale will automatically be adjusted to the needed
scope depending on the phase of flight: en-route, terminal area, or approach.
DCS
[NS 430]
18
PAGES
The graphic CDI shows your position in the center of the display relative to the desired course (the
moving course deviation needle). Similar to traditional mechanical indicators, when you have deviated
from the desired course, simply steer towards the needle. The arrows TO / FROM in the center of the
scale indicates whether you are moving to the waypoint (up arrow) or you are passing by (the down
arrow).
The active stage of the flight plan, or the direct-to destination when using the Direct-to Key, is displayed
directly below the CDI. This automatically sequences to the next waypoint of the flight plan as each
interim waypoint is reached. If no flight plan or direct-to destination has been selected, the field remains
blank.
At the bottom of the NAVdef page you will find six user-defined fields that indicate the data required
during the flight. By default, these fields are: distance to destination (DIS), Direct Track (DTK), bearing
to destination (BRG), ground speed (GS), ground track (TRK) and the estimated time en route (ETE).
However, each of these fields can be defined according to your preference. The available options are
as follows:
• Bearing to destination (BRG)
• Distance to destination (DIS)
• Enroute safe altitude (ESA)
• Estimated time en-route (ETE)
• Minimum safe altitude (MSA)
• Ground track (TRK)
• Cross track error (XTK)
• Course to steer (CTS)
• Desired track (DTK)
• Ground speed (GS)
• Track angle error (TKE)
• Vertical speed required (VSR)
If no flight plan or direct-to waypoint is specified, only speed, heading, altitude and minimum safe
altitude may be displayed. All other data types will appear as blank lines until a destination point is
selected.
To select different values for each data field:
1. Begin with the NAVdef page and press the MENU button for the options menu.
2. A prompt will always show: ‘Change Fields?’. Press enter to select this option.
3. Use the large right knob to select the field you wish to modify.
4. Turn the smaller right knob to display the list of available items. Continue to turn the knob
to select the required parameter from the list.
5. Press ENT to select the required parameter and return to the NAVdef page.
6. Press the right knob to remove the cursor from the page.
You may also return the data field settings to factory defaults.
1. Begin with the NAVdef page and press the MENU button for the options menu.

and use the small and large right knobs to enter a new rate. Press ENT at the end.
8. After these steps, the system will indicate the desired vertical speed in the vertical navigation
page. You can expect the following when using the vertical navigation function:
1. One minute until the initial descent point, the message "Approaching VNAV Profile" will
appear on-screen. The angle of descent (or climb) will also be fixed in place to prevent
changes in the profile from altering the speed.
2. If selected, the vertical speed required (VSR) field on the navigation page and the Map page
will display the required vertical speed to maintain the the proper descent (or climb) angle.
3. At 500 feet above (or below) the target height, the message "Approaching Target Altitude"
will be displayed. The vertical speed required (VSR) field on the navigation and map pages
will be blank at this point.

initial amount of fuel (FOB) and consumption rate (FF). You can also enter a different flight speed (GS)
to view fuel consuption information based on different flight times. If your installation includes a fuel
flow sensor, the information is accounted for automatically and the pilot has no need to enter it
manually.
Density ALT / TAS / Winds — Indicates the theoretical altitude at which the aircraft would fly in the
presence of some external conditions, including the indicator altitude (IND ALT), barometric pressure
(BARO), and total head temperature (TAT). This version of the menu calculates the true airspeed (TAS)
based on the above values and the instrument speed. This menu option also allows the pilot to calculate

One of the advantages of G430 is the ability to fly straight to the point of destination or fly from point
to point without the use of ground-based navigation aids. In order to ensure convenient and efficient
navigation, the G430 offers two basic methods of selecting a destination: the DIRECT-TO mode and
enroute navigation. Direct-to mode provides the opportunity to create a direct path from your current
location to your destination. Navigation data on the various navigation pages will ensure flight control
up until direct-to mode is canceled or replaced by a new destination point.

Figure 39: PROC Page
The G430 allows you to perform precision and non-precision approaches according to published
instrumental approach procedures. All available approaches are stored in the database and are
automatically updated when you replace the cartridge with a new one.
The procedures page is displayed by pressing the PROC button. Procedures page provides direct access
to approaches and arrival and departure procedures based on the active flight plan, direct-to mode, or
a new flight plan from the nearest airport (of departure). In any case, the origin and destination airports
should have procedures associated with them.
To select approaches, departure or arrival procedures:
1. Press the PROC button to display the procedures page.
2. Rotate the large right knob to highlight "Select Approach?", "Select Departure?" Or "Select Arrival?"
and press ENT.
3. A window will appear with a list of the available procedures. Rotate the large right knob to highlight
the desired procedure and press ENT. (When direct-to mode is selected, departure procedures are
offered for the nearest airport.).
4. Further actions are similar to the corresponding WPT page. For example, you can load and activate
procedures using the MENU button.
For precision and certain non-precision approaches it is necessary to remember that the GPS is used
on approach only for monitoring; for basic navigation use the VLOC and CDI (or HSI) receivers. ILS
[NS 430]

approaches, for example, should be used when the VLOC receiver is turned on and tuned to the
appropriate frequency, and connected to the external CDI (or HSI).
After selection of an approach it can be enabled for navigation from the procedures page. Activating
approach will replace the current leg of the route to the approach leg, which will also automatically
change the CDI scale.
To activate approach:
Not implemented in the current version.
• From the procedures page, turn the right knob to highlight "Activate Approach?" and press
ENT.
• A confirmation screen appears. Highlight "Yes?" and press ENT.
The other options for the procedures page allow you to activate the final approach segment. This option
assumes that you will receive vectors to the final approach point (FAF) and fly to the course end
intersection before reaching the FAF.
To activate an approach with vector to the endpoint:
Not implemented in the current version.
1. From the procedures page turn the right knob to highlight "Activate Vector-To-Final?" and
press ENT.
2. A confirmation screen appears. Highlight "Yes?" and press ENT.
In many cases, it is easier to "download" the complete approach to the destination airport in advance.
Later, when vectored to final, use the steps above to select "Activate Vector-To -Final?", which activates
the inbound course to the FAF. Alternatively, activate the full approach using the option "Activate
Approach?"
The G430 provides non-precision approaches using the built-in GPS receiver. The receiver can also be
used as an additional aid for precision approaches, but for basic navigation the pilot must use the
localizer and glidescope receiver.
The approaches that are designed specifically for GPS are usually very simple and do not require
overflying a VOR or NDB. Many non-precision approaches have overlays that allow you to fly an existing
procedure (VOR, VOR / DME, NDB, RNAV, etc.) more accurately using GPS. For your information, there
are over 1,400 GPS-only approaches and more than 3,500 approaches with GPS coverage.
Many approaches are complex (compared to GPS-approaches). The G430 manages your flight on each
approach segment - automatically transitioning from one section to another. On approach you can fly
as "allowed" with full transition using any authorized inbound route or starting point of approach (IAF)
- or fly by vector to the end point of the transition.

1. Select the destination airport using the DIRECT-TO button or as the last waypoint in the active flight
plan.
2. Select "Select Approach?" from the procedures page or of the options menu of the active flight plan.
3. Use the "Load into FPL" on the WPTapr page to load the entry for future use. This will bring in
approach into the flight plan, but will retain your course until approach is activated.
4. Select "Select Arrival?" from the procedures page or from the options menu of the active flight plan.
5. Use "Load into FPL" from the WPTarriv page to load the entry for future use. This will bring the

approach into the flight plan, but will retain your course until approach is activated.
6. Activate the full approach or final vector as you require. You may find it more convenient to
immediately activate the approach and skip the loading process.
Below are some of the approach operations. Not all of them are implemented in the current version
of the device.
“Procedure turn” Approach.
"Procedure turn" is a circuit approach and is stored as a separate phase of the overall approach
procedure. For this reason, the G430 does not require any special action from the pilot other than those
required to perform the actual reversal procedure, and besides that, what is required for any other type
of approach.
This example uses a VOR approach to runway 03 of the KLYH Regional Airport, Linhburg (Virginia), and
assumes departure from the KFDK municipal airport, Frederick (Maryland). These are the steps required
to set and fly to approach:
1. Before departure from KFDK, the destination airport is selected using the button DIRECT-TO or by
creating a flight plan for Linhburg.
2. While enroute, after 40-50 miles you will select the ATIS frequency to verify the usage conditions
of the airport and runway. This is done by selecting the NAVCOM page and selecting the ATIS
frequency from the list. This frequency is placed in the reserve window. Use the C↕ button to
make the ATIS frequency active.
3. From the ATIS frequency, you will learn that runway 03 is in use and complies with your approach
plan. Press the PROC button and select the entry "VOR 03", using these steps: On the transfer
window select LYH VOR (IAF initial approach point). Then select "Load?" to load (but not activate)
the approach.
4. After you have prepared for approach, press the PROC button, select "Activate Approach?" and
press ENT.
Flying the procedure turn
1. Within a 30-mile zone from the destination airport, the G430 goes from "route" to "terminal" mode
(displayed in the lower left corner of the screen). The transition to "terminal" mode is accompanied
by a change in the CDI scale from 5 to 1 nautical mile (example above left).
2. A few miles to the initial approach fix (IAF), you may want to review the approach sequence.
Press the FPL button to display the active flight plan page. Click on the small right knob and turn
the large right knob to view each approach segment.
3. After reaching the IAF (LYH), the lower right corner of the screen displays an alert ("NEXT DTK
205o"). Since the distance (DIS) to the IAF is zero, the warning is replaced by the prompt ("TURN
TO 205o"). Dial an outside course of 205o to the CDI (or HSI) using the OBS button and starting
the procedure turn to this course.
4. Fly the outbound course, holding the arrow in the center of CDI.
DCS
[NS 430]

PAGES
5. Once you have flown about 15 seconds after the final approach fix/FAF (LYH), the message "PROC
TURN OK" will appear in the lower right corner of the screen. You can start the reversal procedure
at any time after receiving this message.
6. Turn left at 160o to begin the turn. Course control is provided relative to the outer segment of the
final approach point. (The reversal procedure is displayed on the map page and is displayed as
the active segment on the NAV and Active Flight Plan pages). The arrow on the CDI will start to
move to the right.
7. After approximately one minute, make a right turn at the intersection to 340o to intersect the
internal course. The G430 will follow the inner portion to the end point of the FAF approach; the
CDI needle will deflect to the opposite side to provide adequate sensitivity to the final course; and
"NEXT" will appear in the lower right corner of the screen
8. As the CDI needle begins to move to the center, make a right to 025o - the final approach course.
9. Within a 2-mile radius of the FAF the G430 will switch "Terminal" mode to "Approach" mode. The
CDI Scale will decrease from 1 to 0.3 nautical miles.
10. Once you reach the FAF, the warning "NEXT DTK 025o" will appear in the lower right corner of
the screen. Be sure to adjust the course for the terminal phase (FAF to MAP)
11. After crossing the FAF, continue to the MAP point (runway 03). Holding the arrow in the center to
fly to MAP, observing the minimum height specified for the approach.
12. After crossing the MAP above the OBS will display "SUSP", indicating that the automatic approach
waypoint sequencing will be suspended at the MAP. "FROM" will be displayed on the NAV page
and on the CDI, but course guidance along the final approach course will continue. If you want
to perform an missed approach, use the OBS button to initiate a missed approach, as shown on
the next page.
Below are specific operations for approach, some of which are still unavailable in the current version.
(at the very least the DME arc entry)
Missed Approach
If, after passing the MAP, you can not see the runway, you need to execute a missed approach. The
G430 will continue to guide you along the extension of the final course segment until you manually
start the missed approach procedure (as mentioned earlier in reference to "SUSP", the OBS button is
used to initiate a missed approach.):
1. 1. Press the OBS button. The missed approach holding point (Munro, in this case, the SWARM
intersection) is offered automatically as the destination point.
2. 2. Follow the missed approach procedure as is permitted for approach, with the appropriate
instructions. the G430 will guide you along the radial 053o from LYH VOR.
3. 3. You will receive a warning message in the lower right corner of the screen recommending
entry procedures for the holding pattern ( "HOLD DIRECT", "HOLD PARALLEL" or "HOLD
TEARDROP"). A timer will appear on the NAV page as you fly the holding pattern. The timer
is automatically reset outside of the holding point, when you are abeam the holding point.
[NS 430]
DCS
BELSIMTEK
69
The timer is reset again when you turn inward about 30 degrees). This will allow you to use
a certain time (typically one minute) to fly the inbound and outbound legs of the holding
procedure.
4. 4. The G430 will provide flight guidance only within the holding pattern. When you move
from the holding pattern to refly the approach (or a different one), press the PROC button
to select "Select Approach?" Or "Activate Approach?" as described above. (Or, use the
DIRECT-TO button to select a different destination)
Approach with Hold
Beginning from the location where we ended the previous example, suppose that the weather
conditions have led a missed approach at Linhburga airport, so we decide to fly to Farmville Airport
(KFVX).
1. Press the DIRECT-TO button.
2. Use the small and large right knobs to enter the destination airport identifier (KFVX).
3. Press the ENT key twice. Then select the GPS-approach to runway 21 at Farmville airport.
This approach begins with a holding pattern at the starting point of the IAF, BODRY
intersection.
4. Press the PROC button and select the "GPS 21" approach.
5. In the transition window, select the BODRY intersection as IAF. Also select "Activate?", to
load and activate the entry.
6. After activating the approach the active flight plan page will be displayed. You can see the
approach sequence by clicking on the small right knob and turning the big right knob. Press
the FPL button to return to the navigation pages.
7. As in the last example, within a 30-mile radius of the airport, the G430 will switch from
"enroute" mode to "terminal" mode, and the CDI scale will go from 5 to 1 nautical mile.
8. Just before the BODRY intersection point a warning will appear - "HOLD TEARDROP" - in the
lower right corner of the screen to suggest the proper holding entry pattern ( "HOLD DIRECT"
or "HOLD PARALLEL" can be offered instead in other similar approaches)
9. As mentioned in the example with the missed approach, the NAV page will display a timer
when flying the holding pattern. Use this timer to fly one minute on the outer portion of the
holding pattern. (The holding pattern will be displayed on the map page and displayed as
the active leg on the NAV page and the active flight plan page).
10. When crossing the IAF "SUSP" will appear above the OBS, indicating that the automatic
approach waypoint sequencing is suspended. After turning inbound, "SUSP" will be canceled
and the G430 will return to automatic sequencing.
11. When you get to the BODRY intersection, a warning message will appear showing "NEXT
DTK 209o" in the lower right corner of the screen
13. Inside the 2-mile radius of the FAF (DEPOY intersection) the G430 will switch from "terminal" to
DCS
[NS 430]
70
PAGES
"approach" mode. The CDI scale will decrease from 1 to 0.3 nautical miles.
14. Once you reach the FAF, a warning message will appear showing "NEXT DTK 209o" in the lower
right corner of the screen. Make any course adjustments necessary for the final course segment
(from the FAF to MAP).
15. After crossing the FAF, the destination point becomes MAP (runway 21, the runway edge). Hold
the needle in the center of the CDI, fly directly to the MAP, following the minimum permitted
altitude. (Looking at the map page, you will notice that the final rate is displayed in red - the
active section of the flight plan is always indicated by the color red - and a dashed line continues
the course behind the MAP. Do not follow the continuation of the course; instead, follow the
authorized procedures for missed approaches) .
16. After crossing the MAP, "SUSP" will be shown above the OBS indicating that the automatic
sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at MAP. Note that "from" will be displayed on the
NAV and CDI pages, but course guidance along the final course will continue. If you want to
perform a missed approach, use the OBS button to start the missed approach.
DME Arc Approach.
The GPS overlay for DME arc approaches uses additional waypoints from the Jeppesen database to
determine the arc. These waypoints are displayed using the letter D at the beginning of the name of
the waypoint, followed by three digits indicating the radial where the waypoint is located. The last letter
indicates the radius of the arc.
For example:
D258G indicates a DME waypoint ("D") in a 258o radial at DME 7 (as "G" is the 7th letter of the
alphabet).
When you are ready for a DME arc approach, you must perform one of the following steps to cross the
arc:
• Follow the specific radial for intersection with the IAF.
• Follow the ATC vector, which will allow you to cross the arc at any point along the arc.
This example is based on a flight from Hutchinson Municipal Airport (KHUT) (Kansas) to Forbes Field
Airport (KFOE) in Toreka, Kansas. Approach 21 VOR / DME will be selected; the IAF will be waypoint
"D258G".
1. 1. Select Forbes Field (KFOE) as the destination by pressing DIRECT-TO or setting it as the
last waypoint in the flight plan.
2. 2. Press the PROC button and select the entry "VOR / DME 21". In the transitions window,
select "D258G" as the IAF. Also select "Load?" (Or "Activate?", If you are ready for approach.)
Within a 30-mile radius of KFOE, G430 switches from "enroute" mode to terminal mode, and
the CDI scale will go from 5 to 1 nautical mile.
3. 3. If you have not activated the approach (as described in step # 2), do it when you are
prepared for approach.

4. 4. After reaching the IAF, a warning - "NEXT DTK 352o" - will appear in the lower right corner
of the screen. Once the distance to the IAF is equal to 0, the message will become "TURN
TO 352o".
5. 5. Follow the arc, keeping the CDI arrow in the center. When using autopilot, the choice of
FPU (??) in the CDI (or HSI) must be periodically updated to reflect the desired track (DTK)
to ensure the appropriate path for the arc. Whenever the set required track differ by more
than 10 degrees, "Set course to ### o" will appear in your messages.
6. 6. The next approach point will be an intermediate fix marked as "D025G". Once you reach
this point, the warning "NEXT DTK 205o" will appear in the lower right corner of the screen.
Once the distance to the fixing point is be equal to 0, this warning will be replaced with
"TURN TO 352O". Enter this course onto CDI using the OBS button and initiate a standard
turn into this course.
7. 7. Before reaching the TOP VOR, the lower right corner of the screen will display the message
"NEXT DTK 200o". Dial this course onto the CDI (or HSI), using the OBS button and turn to
this course.
8. 8. Within a 2-mile radius of the FAF (FF 21; MRP Jeppesen) the G430 will switch from terminal
to approach. The CDI scale will decrease from 1 to 0.3 nautical miles.
9. 9. Once you reach the FAF, a warning message will appear ("NEXT DTK 200O") in the lower
right corner of the screen. Make any necessary course adjustments for final approach(from
the FAF to MAP).
10. 10. After crossing the FAF the destination point becomes MAP (runway 21, the runway edge).
Hold the needle in the center of the CDI, fly directly to the MAP, and follow the minimum
permitted altitude. (Looking at the map page, you will notice that the final course segment
is displayed in red - the active section of the flight plan will always be displayed in red - and
the dotted line continues the course behind MAP.
11. After crossing the MAP, "SUSP" will appear above the OBS indicating that the automatic
waypoint sequencing is suspended at MAP. Note that "from" will be displayed on the NAV
and CDI pages, but course guidance along the final approach course will continue. Does not
follow this extended course. Instead, follow the authorized procedures for missed approach).
If you want to perform missed approach, press the OBS button to activate missed approach.
Vector to Final
Let's examine a missed approach at the VOR / DME 21 in Forbes Field. Instead of following a DME arc,
the tower instructs you to expect radar vectors to the final approach course. There are several ways to
choose a "vectored to a landing direct" with the G430. The first two of the following points require less
load to perform:
• • When the setting is selected for the first time, select "VECTORS" in the transition window.
• • Load the full approach including the IAF in the transitions window. When you're ready,
press PROC and select "Activate Vectors-To-Final?"
• • Load full set. Use the DIRECT-TO button (press twice) on the active flight plan page to
DCS
[NS 430]

PAGES
select the required segment of the approach.
To select "VECTORS" from the transitions window:
1. Select Forbes Field, (KFOE) as the destination point using the DIRECT-TO button, or by
setting it as the last waypoint in the flight plan.
2. Press the PROC button and select the entry "VOR / DME 21".
3. In the transitions window, select "VECTORS"
4. Select "Load?" (Or "Activate?" if you are ready for approach)
To enable vectors-to-final from the procedures page:
1. Select Forbes Field, (KFOE) as the destination point using the DIRECT-TO button, or by setting it
as the last waypoint in the flight plan.
2. Press the PROC button and select the entry "VOR / DME 21".
3. In the transitions window select "D258G" as the initial approach point, then select "Load?"
4. If you are ready for approach, press the PROC button and select "Activate Vectors-To-Final?"
When vectoring to the runway, the CDI arrow will deflect from the center until you are established on
final approach course. When the approach is activated, the map page will display a continuation of the
final approach course in red (remember red is used to indicate the active leg of the flight plan) and the
NAV page shows "VTF" as part of the active leg (as a reminder that the approach was activated with
vector-to-final). In this example, we assume that the vectors of the control point will be perpendicular
to the final course:
1. Within the 30-mile radius of KFOE the G430 will transition from "enroute" mode to "terminal"
mode, and the CDI scale will go from 5 to 1 nautical mile.
2. Activate the approach if you have not yet done so. This will allow the G430 to provide
guidance navigation to the final course.
3. ATC will instruct to turn left at 020o. At the same time you will be parallel to the final course
in the opposite direction. The CDI arrow will deflect to the left.
2. ATC will instruct to turn left heading 110 °.
3. ATC will instruct to turn left heading 170 ° to cross the final approach course. Once you get close
to the final approach course, the CDI needle will move to the center. (The illustration on the left
shows that the needle has not yet returned to the CDI, as your current position is still 2.6-miles
away to the right of the final approach).
4. After the arrow returns to the center of the CDI, perform the necessary course adjustments to
establish a direct path to final approach. 2 miles from the FAF (FF21) the G430 will switch over to
approach mode from terminal mode. The CDI scale will change from 1 to 0.3 nautical miles.
5. Once you get close to the FAF, the lower right corner will show a warning - "NEXT DTK 200o".
Make the necessary corrections on the final approach segment (FAF to MAP).

6. After crossing the FAF, destination point will be set to MAP ("RW21"). Holding the arrow in the
center, fly directly to MAP, observing the minimum safe altitude allowed for this approach.
7. Once you have reached the MAP, the lower right corner will show warning about the waypoint
("APPRCHING WPT")
8. After crossing the MAP, "SUSP" will appear above the OBS indicating that the automatic waypoint
sequencing is suspended at MAP. Note that "from" will be displayed on the NAV and CDI pages,
but course guidance along the final approach course will continue. Does not follow this extended
course. Instead, follow the authorized procedures for missed approach). If you want to perform
missed approach, press the OBS button to activate missed approach.
Course From Fix Flight Plan Legs
Certain approaches, SID, STAR and arrival procedures in the Jeppesen database contain course from
fix flight plan legs. The G430 can download these legs into the flight plan, along with other data and
procedures to provide navigation along these legs.
There are three different types of course from fix legs:
Type 1: Course from fix to distance, or course from fix to DME distance
Course from fix to distance legs appear like normal waypoints, but the destination name must begin
with "D" followed by the distance in tens of MM from a given point. This example uses the approach
VOR / DME RWY 25 in Palmdale, CA (KPMD) and includes a return course.
1. When you reach the initial approach fix (PMD), a warning message ( "NEXT DTK 070 °")
alerting you to your arrival at the waypoint will be shown in the lower right corner of the
screen. When the distance from the IAF reaches zero, the warning is replaced by a prompt
to "TURN TO 070°". Enter the outbound course into the CDI (or HSI) using the OBS knob
and begin the procedure turn to the course.
2. Fly the course approach, holding the CDI arrow in the middle. You are now on the course
from fix to distance leg, as shown in the active route and NAV pages. Note the red line in
the lower part of the image, which is the currently active approach leg. The distance
displayed on both screens is the distance to the point "D13.0". The route automatically
switches to the next leg after "D13.0".
3. 13.0 MM from the FAF, a warning of your arrival ( "NEXT DTK 265 °") will be shown in the
lower-right corner of the screen. Turn to intercept the final approach course and watch for
the CDI needle to center.
4. Upon arrival at the intermediate point (CF25), a warning message appears: ("NEXT DTK
265 °"). Adjust your course accordingly.
5. 2.0 nautical miles from the FAF (THERO), the G430 will switch from terminal to approach
mode. ("APR" will appear in the lower left corner of the screen, instead of "TERM".) CDI scale
will change from 1.0 to 0.3 M, full scale deflection.
6. Upon arrival at FAF, "NEXT DTK 265 °" will appear in the lower right corner of the screen.
7. After crossing the FAF, the destination will switch to MAP (MA25). Holding the arrow in the
DCS
[NS 430]
74
PAGES
center of CDI, fly to the MAP, observing the minimum required altitude according to the
approach procedure
8. Upon arrival at MAP, a warning ( "APPRCHING WPT") will appear in the lower right corner of
the screen.
9. Upon crossing MAP, "SUSP" will appear above the button indicating the suspension of the
automatic waypoint sequencing at the MAP. If you need to perform a missed approach, use
the OBS button to initialize a missed approach as described below.
Type 2: Course from Fix to Altitude
Course from fix to altitude show a preset altitude in the active route page and NAV page. The missed
approach sequence for the VOR / DME RWY 25 approach includes a course from fix to altitude leg.
In this example, the leg corresponds to the initial part of the missed aproach, which reads "climb to
5000 'on the PMD VOR R-282 departure course."
1. After crossing MAP, press the OBS button. This will automatically offer a missed approach
sequence, starting with the course from fix to altitude leg. The warning "NEXT DTK 282 °"
will appear in the lower right corner of the screen. Follow the procedures of the missed
approach, as described in the published approach procedures in the instructions for the
appropriate climb and course.
2. Pay attention to the fact that, in a few seconds after pressing the OBS button to begin
automatic waypoint sequencing, "SUSP" reappears on the OBS button as the G430
temporarily suspends waypoint sequencing. This is normal during course from fix to altitude
legs.
3. Fly the outbound course making sure that the CDI arrow is in the middle. The map page will
show a picture showing the route from PMD VOR. The distance (DIS) in the NAV, map and
active flight plan pages will increase, displaying the distance back to the PMD VOR.
4. After reaching the desired altitude (5000 '), press the OBS button to return to the automatic
waypoint sequencing. Make sure that "SUSP" will not appear above the OBS button.
5. A warning ( "NEXT DTK 126 °") appears to guide you to the approach course. The desired
course will depend on the ground speed and the distance from the PMD VOR. Cross and fly
the approach course, holding the arrow in the center of the CDI.
6. On arrival at the PMD VOR (holding point for missed approaches), the message in the lower
right corner of the screen will prompt you to enter the waiting area ( "HOLD PARALLEL").
When flying in the waiting area, a timer will appear on the NAV page. This will automatically
reset on each outbound and inbound portion of the holding pattern.
7. Note that the G430 will again display "SUSP" above the OBS. Automatic waypoint sequencing
will be stopped at the missed approach holding area. The warning ("APPRCHING WPT") will
appear in the lower right corner of the screen when approaching PMD VOR in the holding
pattern.
8. After leaving the holding area, press the PROC button to reactivate approach, or select
another approach, or press DIRECT-TO for flight to another destination waypoint. CEDURES

Type 3: Course from fix to manual sequence
1. Course from fix to manual sequence legs appear in the active flight plan and map pages with
the indicator "man seq" in place of the waypoint ID. An example of this type of leg in the
COASTAL ONE DEPARTURE from Westfield, Massachusetts (Barnes Muni).
2. The example leg corresponds to the departure leg from the Barnes municipal airport and
appears as follows on the active flight plan and NAV pages:
3. Select SID (CSTL1) from the procedures page. Then choose the runway (RW02, in this
example) and the transition (GEDIC). See section 5 for instructions on SID choice.
4. After takeoff, the lower right corner of the screen will display "NEXT DTK 026 °" and "SUSP"
directly above the OBS. You are now on the course from fix to manual sequence leg. The
distance shown at the active flight plan, NAV and map pages is the distance from the given
point (take-off runway in this example).
5. Fly the outbound course, holding the arrow in the center of CDI. After receiving permission
to switch to the next leg, press the OBS button. Make sure that "SUSP" is not above the OBS.
The warning ("NEXT DTK 186 °") will appear in the lower right corner of the screen directing
you to a new waypoint (HFD VOR). The desired course will depend on the ground speed and
the distance from the HFD VOR.
6. After pressing OBS, the G430 will automatically sequence waypoints for the remaining leg of
the flight plan, including the transition.
ILS Approaches
Precision approaches can be created using the built-in VLOC (VOR / glidescope receiver). The GPS
receiver may be used for flight control before reaching final approach, but the corresponding frequency
in the VLOC window (on the left side of the screen) must be chosen and CDI output must be switched
from "GPS" to "VLOC".
1. For example, choose a flight from Laughlin (Arizona) to Flagstaff (KFLG) and select the entry for the
ILS system on runway 21. The intersection "SHUTR" will be selected as the IAF, and includes an
outbound leg and a procedure turn. Of course, vectors-to-final line can also be selected as described
above for non-precision approaches.
2. Select Flagstaff (KFLG) as a destination point, via the DIRECT-TO button or by setting it as the last
waypoint in the flight plan.
3. Press PROC and choose "ILS 21"
In the transitions window, select "SHUTR" as the IAS. Use "Load into FPL?" from the menu to load the
procedure into the flight plan.
ILS Approaches
1. When activating an approach using ILS, the ILS system frequency will be automatically
placed in the reserve field of the VLOC window. To use this frequency, press V↕ button to
move it to the active frequency field.
DCS
[NS 430]
76
PAGES
2. Within a 30-mile radius of KFLG, the G430 will switch from enroute to terminal mode and the
CDI scale will go from 5 to 1 nautical mile
3. Activate the approach after receiving clearance, if you have not already done so.
4. After reaching the IAF (SHUTR), you will receive a warning in the lower right corner of the
screen: "NEXT DTK 352O".
5. If you have not already done so, press the button to activate V↕ ILS frequency.
6. When the range to the IAF would be equal to 0, the message will turn to "TURN TO 30O".
7. Fly the outbound course (030 o) while holding the arrow in the center of the external CDI
(or HSI).
8. After about 1 minute after you pass the intersection SHUTR, the warning "START PROC
TURN" will appear in the lower right corner of the screen . You can start a reversal procedure
at any time after receiving this notice.
9. Turn right at 075o to initiate the procedure turn. The G430 will not guide the flight through
the turn. (Reversal procedure is displayed on the map page and is displayed as the active
leg on the NAV page and the active flight plan page). The arrow of the external CDI starts
to move to the right (reverse sensitivity).
10. After about one minute, turn left 180o to course 255o up until ILS intersection. The G430
sequences to the inbound leg and the lower-right corner of the screen will show the warning
"NEXT DTK about 210".
11. After the CDI needle starts to move towards the center, turn left at 210o - the ILS course.
After the course to the FAF, the CDI automatically switches from GPS to the VLOC receiver
(if ILS frequency is activated, as indicated in paragraph # 4).
12. Once you reach SHUTR, in the lower left corner of the screen will show "0.30nm" indicating
a CDI scale transition from 1 to 0.3 nautical miles. (This change is applied only to the NAV
page's on-screen CDI, as the external CDI or NSI is now connected to VLOC receiver. The
GPS will not be activated for a precision approach. Use VLOC receiver for the main
navigation.)
13. Once you reach SHUTR, the warning "NEXT DTK about 210" appears in the lower right corner
of the screen.
14. After crossing SHUTR the destination point becomes MAP ("RW21", runway edge). Hold the
arrow of the external CDI (or HSI) in the middle and fly directly to the IDA, maintaining the
minimum required altitude for the approach. Looking at the map page, you will notice that
the final course segment is displayed in red - the active section of the flight plan will always
be displayed in red - and the dotted line continues the course behind MAP.
15. As you approach MAP, the lower right corner of the screen will display the warning
"APPRCHING WPT".
16. After crossing the MAP, "SUSP" will be shown above the OBS indicating that the automatic
sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at MAP. "From" will be displayed on the NAV
[NS 430]

and CDI pages, but course guidance along the final course will continue. Do not follow this
continuation of the final leg. If you want to perform a missed approach, use the OBS button
to start the missed approach.
4. Messages System
The G430 uses a flashing "MSG" indicator in the bottom of the screen (right above the MENU button)
to report the presence of important information or warning. Although many reports are advisory in
nature, warning messages require your intervention. Whenever the indicator is flashing "MSG" press
the MENU button to display the message. Press MENU again to return to the previous page.
Below are the possible messages and their definitions:
Approaching target altitude - Current GPS altitude - 500 feet from the final altitude of the vertical
navigation mode.
Approaching VNAV profile - you are one-minute away from the point of descent or climb (in vertical
navigation mode.)
Arrival at waypoint - [AMP ID] - Your aircraft is at a set distance from the waypoint. This distance is set
at setup page 1.
Auto CDI scale selected - The GNS has automatically reset the CDI scale upon execution of route
navigation or approach. When selecting manual scale control (on setup page 1) the G430 automatically
switches manual control to automatic 30 MM from the arrival airport. The system also returns to
automatic operation after shutdown, manual control settings are NOT saved after switching off.
FPL is full - remove unnecessary waypoints - Shown when trying to add more than 31 points in the
route.
Set course to [###] ° - Additional CDI / HSI must be installed on the specified course. The message
appears when the current course is greater than 10 ° different from the desured track.
Waypoint already exists - you have entered a waypoint the identifier of which already exists. Please
enter a different waypoint name.
Waypoint memory is full - The waypoint memory storage is full. (more than 1000 waypoints). You need
to remove unused waypoints to make room.
