After the setting Avionics master (AVI MSTR) switch ON
(basic RFM para. 2-19) and prior to Engine Runup:
1. During GTN system initialization, perform the following
start-up screen procedures when prompted. Press the
Continue key when finished.
a. Software and Database Versions and Dates Screen:
1) Check to ensure databases are current.
2) Ensure the applicable Terrain SD card is loaded
if utilizing the GTN 650 HTerrain Proximity
feature.
b. Panel Self-Test and Fuel Settings Page:
1) Check to ensure CDI/HSI outputs and other
displayed data are correct on the external
interfaced equipment.
2) Touch each of the Fuel value keys and set the
appropriate values as desired.
2. The normal operating procedures are detailed in the
GTN 625/635/650 Pilot’s Guide.
2-2. Approaches
CAUTION
GPS-based approaches with vertical
navigation (LNAV+V, L/VNAV, and LPV) have
not been evaluated in the 480B. Installation
of this equipment is for reference only and
does not constitute operational authority for
use in IFR/IMC conditions.
NOTE
GPS is to be used for VFR only.

FAA Approved: Rev. 1
Report No. 28-AC-064 Mar 21/17
1. During GPS approaches, the pilot must verify the GTN
650 is operating in the approach mode (LNAV, LNAV+V,
L/VNAV, or LPV).
2. Accomplishment of an ILS, LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF,
MLS, VOR approach, or any other type of approach not
approved for GPS overlay, is not authorized with GPS
navigation guidance.
3. Use of the GTN 650 VOR/LOC/GS receiver to fly
approaches not approved for GPS requires
VOR/LOC/GS navigation data to be present on the
external indicator (i.e. proper CDI source selection).

CHAPTER 3. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3-1. Emergency Procedures
Refer to the basic RFM.
3-2. Abnormal Procedures
CAUTION
GPS-based approaches with vertical
navigation (LNAV+V, L/VNAV, and LPV) have
not been evaluated in the 480B. Installation
of this equipment is for reference only and
does not constitute operational authority for
use in IFR/IMC conditions.
1. If the GTN 650 loses GPS position and reverts to Dead
Reckoning mode (indicated by the annunciation of “DR”
in the lower left of the map display), the moving map
will continue to be displayed. The aircraft position will
be based upon the last valid GPS position and
estimated by Dead Reckoning methods. Changes in
airspeed or winds aloft can affect the estimated position
substantially. Dead Reckoning is only available while
navigating using an active flight plan and the flight
phase is either En Route or Oceanic. If the unit is in or
transitions to a Terminal and Approach phase of flight
when Dead Reckoning takes place, “No GPS Position”
will be displayed on the map pages and all navigation
data will be dashed.
a. If the GTN 650 GPS navigation information is not
available, or is invalid, utilize other remaining
operational navigation equipment as appropriate.
2. If a “Loss of Integrity” (LOI) message is displayed
during:
a. Enroute/Terminal: Continue to navigate using GPS
equipment and periodically cross-check the GPS
guidance to other approved means of navigation.
b. GPS Approach: GPS approaches are not authorized
under LOI; execute missed approach or revert to
alternate navigation.

3. If, during a GPS LPV precision approach or GPS
LNAV/VNAV approach, the message “APPROACH
DOWNGRADE” is displayed, vertical guidance will be
removed from the external CDI/HSI display.
a. Continue to fly the approach using published LNAV
minimums.
4. The message “ABORT APPROACH” is triggered outside
the MAP if the GTN system can no longer provide
approach level of service. Vertical guidance will be
removed from the external CDI/HSI display.
a. Initiate a climb to published safe altitude, abort the
approach, and execute a non-GPS based approach.
5. The message “APPROACH NOT ACTIVE” is displayed if
the GTN system is on approach and did not have the
required position integrity to get to LNAV. It reverts to
terminal limits.
a. Abort the approach and execute a non-GPS based
approach.
3-3. Emergency Frequency
1. To quickly tune and activate 121.50, press and hold
the volume knob or the external remote COM Flip/Flop
key or the remote frequency transfer button on the
cyclic for approximately two seconds.
2. Under some circumstances if the COM system loses
communication with the main system, the radio will
automatically tune to 121.50 MHz for transmit and
receive regardless of the displayed frequency.
3-4. Stuck Mic
A “Com push-to-talk key stuck” message will be issued if
the microphone sticks in the ON or Transmit position. If
the microphone is keyed for longer than 30 seconds, the
unit will return to the receive mode on the selected
frequency.
