Rev 1 May 2019 System Overview 1-1
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.

1-2 System Overview Rev 1 May 2019
INTENDED FUNCTION
This manual describes operation of the AeroNav 900 series of
equipment. Not all capabilities described herein are applicable to
every model in the series. The AeroNav 900 is the basis for
capabilities described in the manual. Differences from the
AeroNav 900 are specifically identified throughout the manual.
AERONAV 900
The BendixKing AeroNav 900 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 900 Integrated Flight Display
Supplemental AeroNav 900 functions include a moving-map,
flight management system (FMS), electronic charts, checklists,
and a number of timer and calculator types of utilities. It also
includes options for control/display of weather radar and display

AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide
89000039-010
Rev 1 May 2019 System Overview 1-3
of external video. The system includes terrain alerting as well as
an option for TAWS.
AERONAV 880
The BendixKing AeroNav 880 differs from the AeroNav 900 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 880 cannot be used to
execute terminal area procedures that rely on radio navigation.
The AeroNav 880 bezel differs physically from the AeroNav 900
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 880 Integrated Flight Display
Supplemental AeroNav 880 functions include a moving-map,
flight management system (FMS), electronic charts, checklists,
and a number of timer and calculator types of utilities. It also
includes options for control/display of weather radar and display

AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide

of external video. The system includes terrain alerting as well as
an option for TAWS.
DOCUMENTATION CONVENTION
Throughout this document, capabilities that are
not applicable to the AeroNav 880 are identified
using a † symbol.
AERONAV 910
The BendixKing AeroNav 910 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 910 Integrated Flight Display

AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide
89000039-010
Rev 1 May 2019 System Overview 1-5
Like the AeroNav 900, supplemental AeroNav 910 functions
include a moving map, FMS, charts, checklists, various calculator
utilities, and terrain alerting, with options for control/display of
weather radar, display of external video, and TAWS.
The AeroNav 910 also provides a synthetic terrain/vision image to
enhance the pilot’s awareness of their spatial position relative to
the terrain, obstacles and known traffic. Pitch, roll, and skid/slip
indicators also aid in attitude awareness. If the system is
receiving a heading input, then heading and rate of turn will be
displayed for additional aircraft state awareness. In degraded
conditions, the synthetic vision view will be replaced with a
traditional blue over brown attitude indication. The attitude
sensing and depiction of the AeroNav 910 provides a non-
required secondary indicator in addition to the required attitude
instrument(s) installed in the aircraft.
DOCUMENTATION CONVENTION
Throughout this document, capabilities that are
applicable only to the AeroNav 910 or AeroNav
905 are identified using a ‡ symbol.
NOTE
Synthetic Vision Terrain Awareness
The synthetic vision display may not match the
terrain perfectly, but the display provides a
reasonable representation of the terrain in a manner
that does not misrepresent the threat posed by the
terrain. The display, while possibly resolution or
field-of-view limited, still adequately portrays the
terrain for terrain awareness.

AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide
89000039-010
1-6 System Overview Rev 1 May 2019
NOTE
Synthetic Vision is Not for Terrain Avoidance
The synthetic vision display may not be used as the
principal means for terrain avoidance. Synthetic
Vision may not provide the depth/distance cues
necessary for terrain avoidance and should always
be used in conjunction with other flight and
navigation information for terrain avoidance.
AERONAV 905
The BendixKing AeroNav 905 differs from the AeroNav 910 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 a CDI/HSI indicator that is installed in
the required field of view. The AeroNav 905 cannot be used to
execute terminal area procedures that rely on radio navigation.
The AeroNav 905 bezel differs physically from the AeroNav 910
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.
Supplemental AeroNav 905 functions include a moving-map,
flight management system (FMS), electronic charts, checklists,
and a number of timer and calculator types of utilities. It also
includes options for control/display of weather radar and display
of external video. The system includes terrain alerting as well as
an option for TAWS.
The AeroNav 905 also provides a synthetic terrain/vision image to
enhance the pilot’s awareness of their spatial position relative to
the terrain, obstacles and known traffic. Pitch, roll, and skid/slip
indicators also aid in attitude awareness. If the system is
receiving a heading input, then heading and rate of turn will be

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.
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.

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:
SVS (Synthetic Vision System) ‡
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 (AeroNav 900 and AeroNav 880)
Page Function Keys and Tabs (AeroNav 910 and AeroNav 905)
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.
