1 System Overview
This manual assumes that the pilot is appropriately licensed, is
proficient in operation of the aircraft and its equipment, and is in
compliance with all Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs).
All images contained in this manual are for reference use only,
and are subject to change.
BendixKing strongly recommends that pilots use the AeroNav
system only under VFR conditions until completely familiar with
its operation and use.
Boxed areas marked as NOTE within this manual identify certain
situations or areas of operation having heightened safety
implications. While it is important for the operator to be familiar
with all of the information in the manual, it is essential to the safe
use of the AeroNav that pilots give careful attention to the
material contained within these NOTEs.
In order to avoid a diversion of attention from the task of safely
taxiing, pilots should avoid performing the described cockpit tasks
while the aircraft is in motion on the ground. It remains the pilot’s
duty to monitor the AeroNav for proper function upon activation
and during use.
Internal data logs and the storage devices that record and store
data are property of BendixKing.

INTENDED FUNCTION
This manual describes operation of the AeroNav 8xx series of
equipment. Not all capabilities described herein are applicable to
every model in the series. The AeroNav 800 is the basis for
capabilities described in the manual. Differences from the
AeroNav 800 are specifically identified throughout the manual.
AERONAV 800
The BendixKing AeroNav 800 is a GPS-Nav-Com radio whose
primary function is to conduct nav-com-transponder tuning and
communication, and serve as the principal navigation
sensor/system for all IFR VHF (“VLOC”) and GPS-based
navigation and instrument flying (enroute and approach),
provided it is connected to an external navigation source
selection annunciator and a CDI/HSI indicator that is installed in
the required field of view.
AeroNav 800 Integrated Flight Display
Supplemental AeroNav 800 functions include a moving-map,
flight management system (FMS), checklists, and a number of
timer and calculator types of utilities. The system includes terrain
alerting as well as an option for TAWS. An option is also available
that will give the AeroNav 800 the ability to control and display
weather radar.

89000041-008
Rev 1 May 2019 System Overview 1-3
AERONAV 780
The BendixKing AeroNav 780 differs from the AeroNav 800 in
that there is no internal VHF nav/com radio. Its primary function
is to conduct GPS-based navigation in an IFR environment,
provided it is connected to an external navigation source
selection annunciator and CDI/HSI indicator that is installed in the
required field of view. The AeroNav 780 cannot be used to
execute terminal area procedures that rely on radio navigation.
The AeroNav 780 bezel differs physically from the AeroNav 800
in that the radio controls along the left side of the bezel are
absent, the nav source selection knob is replaced by an OBS
button, and the volume knob is replaced by a single-function
on/off button.
AeroNav 780 Integrated Flight Display
Supplemental AeroNav 780 functions include a moving-map,
flight management system (FMS), checklists, and a number of
timer and calculator types of utilities. The system includes terrain
alerting as well as an option for TAWS. An option is also available
that will give the AeroNav 780 the ability to control and display
weather radar.
DOCUMENTATION CONVENTION
Throughout this document, capabilities that are
not applicable to the AeroNav 780 are identified
using a † symbol.

COOL FEATURE
Multi-Touch Touch Screen Control
The AeroNav supports multi-touch touch screen
technology meaning that features such as two-
fingered pinch zoom for range changing on maps
and charts is fully enabled.
The system has been designed for single-pilot IFR operation and
features a Page and Tab user interface.

Rev 1 May 2019 System Overview 1-5
Most functions revolve around the Page Function Keys that
appear across the bottom edge of the bezel. Each of the three
functional pages has associated tabs, which contain related data,
often in different views. These functions and tabs are covered in
detail throughout this reference manual.

1-6 System Overview Rev 1 May 2019
BASIC CONCEPTS
PAGE FUNCTION KEYS
The buttons along the bottom of the AeroNav bezel are called
Page Function Keys. Each key is labeled by function:
FMS (Flight Management System)
MAP (Moving Map)
AUX (System Pages)
Each page has a number of associated tabs. Each Page Function
key has a left and right rocker nature to it. Select the page of
interest by pressing the middle of the Page Function Key and
navigate through the available tabs by pressing the left or right
side of the Page Function Key. Continual pressing of one side of
the function key will automatically step through the tabs.
Page Function Keys and Tabs
LINE SELECT KEYS
Line Select Keys (LSK), are the buttons found along the left
vertical side of the bezel. These are different from Page Function
Keys in that they also have a label, just inside the bezel adjacent
to the physical button, which indicates the function of the LSK.
An LSK can either represent an action or a state.
A State LSK is identified by a title on the first row, shown in blue-
green, and the current state on the second row shown in white.
The title reflects the system function or setting to be affected, and
the state shows the current state of that setting. Pressing the
LSK or touching the label will change to the next state.
An Action LSK is identified by a phrase shown in blue-green.
The phrase is usually in verb-subject form, but there are
exceptions when the verb is omitted (e.g. "User Options").
Pressing the LSK or touching the label will cause the system to
perform the specified action.

89000041-008
Rev 1 May 2019 System Overview 1-7
LSK Types
RIGHT KNOB LABELING
The bottom right AeroNav knob is context-sensitive. Displayed in
the lower right corner of the display, the knob label indicates the
function of the knobs and the knob button on the left and right
side, respectively. As a general rule, the inner and outer rings of
the dual concentric knob perform the same function. Typically,
the inner ring is “fine” control and the outer ring is “coarse” control
for the function. The symbol used to represent the knob button is
a ring with a center dot.
Right Knob Label Scheme
In the example above, the outer ring scrolls through a list in a
coarse manner and the inner ring scrolls through the same list
stopping at each minor field along the way. Pushing the knob
generates a drop-down menu.
COLOR PHILOSOPHY
There are a few generalities with the use of color that are
consistent across the AeroNav as described in the table below:

GENERAL AERONAV OPERATIONS
The AeroNav is a touch screen unit that has been designed for
compatibility with both retrofit and clean installations. As a retrofit
installation, the AeroNav 800 was designed to be a slide-in
replacement for a Garmin 430/W unit. Similarly, the AeroNav 780
was designed to be a slide-in replacement for a Garmin 400/W
unit.
