Question 4

When do you get GPS PRIMARY?

Answer 4

When the FMS Nav Mode is IRS/GPS (alternative modes are IRS/DME/DME, IRS/VOR DME AND IRS ONLY) and EPU within prescribed tolerance.

I THINK you get GPS PRIMARY LOST when the GPS EPU>0.05NM.

When GPS PRIMARY, NAV ACCUR always HIGH

Question 5

In the cruise, what should you do if you get GPS PRIMARY LOST?

Check EPU. Check trend.
Perform Navigation Accuracy Crosscheck. - bookmarked on Docunet
