Y'NO WUT IM SAYIN
When looking over the Instrument Panel Self Test page, I was always taught to check that the NAV1 glideslope and localizer agreed with the GPS (half up, half left, nav flags out of view). These were on aircraft that were not WAAS equipped.
Now I am flying an aircraft that the glideslope does not move during the self test. I would assume that it is because the glideslope is not linked to the GPS since it is not WAAS, but then why did the other GPS's do it?
I have done some research but can't find anything more than this:
Anyone out there with intimate knowledge of the GNS430 and all its inner-workings?
And please no jokes about sexual acts with a GPS receiver, I don't want this to get moved to the lav.
