• Introduction

Objective

To facilitate the student learning:

• post flight "GPS Problem Report" preparation and handling

Motivation

As GPS is new technology, it is important that pilots using the system report any difficulties or anomalies so that others can benefit and corrective action can be taken.

Essential Background Knowledge

Review AIP Aviation Notice dated July 18, 1996.

Advice to Instructors

Objective

To facilitate the student learning:

• to retrieve and arm an approach procedure from the GPS database
• to execute an approach using GPS

Motivation

Within 20 years all IFR terminal navigation will likely be conducted using GPS as the primary navigation aid. Pilots wishing to fly in this environment will have to have a thorough understanding of the system, its limitations and use.

Essential Background Knowledge

Objective

To facilitate the student learning:

• to program a hold in the GPS receiver, if capable
• to execute holding procedures using GPS

Motivation

The ability to execute a hold is essential for all pilots operating under IFR.

Essential Background Knowledge

Explain the various types of holds the student may encounter when flying IFR

Explain how to add a hold to the flight plan, if capable

Advice to Instructors

Although GPS receivers are complex computers capable of many functions, this instructors guide is designed for teaching the student only those functions necessary to enable him/her to depart from point A, navigate to point B, hold at point B, carry out an approach, overshoot and go to the alternate under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The guide is designed for GPS receivers that have been certified for IFR operations in accordance with Technical Standard Order (TSO) C-129.

Objective

To facilitate the student learning:

• to navigate from the point of departure to the destination using GPS

Motivation

The introduction of GPS has revolutionized how pilots navigate enroute. It is essential that pilots acquire and maintain a high standard of operating skill for this phase of flight.

Essential Background Knowledge

Explain the functions of the navigation (NAV) mode of the GPS receiver

Test report - Study of PAPI Frost/Dew

Objective

To facilitate the student learning:

• to recognize a system malfunction
• to take appropriate action in the event of a system malfunction

Motivation
