  1. G1000 Observer Training Day 3: Advanced Techniques Electronic Search Other Search Patterns

  2. Revision History

  3. Table of Contents • Flight Plans • Creating them • Saving them • Modifying them • Other search patterns • Sector Search • Route Search • Creeping Line Search • Expanding Square Search

  4. Creating a Flight Plan • FPL button • Push FMS knob (cursor) • Outer FMS knob to highlight a blank space • Inner FMS knob to change • ENT button to add waypoint

  5. Amending a Flight Plan • Push FMS knob (cursor) • Outer FMS knob to highlight a waypoint To insert a waypoint: • Inner FMS knob to enter name of waypoint • ENT button to confirm • Inserts above highlighted point To remove a waypoint: • CLR to remove • ENT button to confirm

  7. Activating a Stored Flight Plan • Go to second page of FPL page group • Push FMS knob • Outer FMS knob to highlight desired plan • ACTIVE soft key • ENT to confirm

  8. Sector Search (cont’d) • FMS knob: • Pattern: Sector • Initial DTK: Mag heading on first leg (you correct for variation) • Initial Turn: Left/Right • Leg Length: Your Choice • FMS knob: ACTIVATE SAR • ENT button *NOTE: Will go direct-to entry point

  9. Expanding Square Search • Activate a flight plan consisting of at least the start point • FPL button • FMS knob: Push to activate cursor • FMS knob: Highlight entry point (grid corner) • MENU button • FMS knob: Search and Rescue • ENT button (continued on next slide)

  10. Expanding Square Search (cont’d) • FMS knob: • Pattern: Exp Sqr • Initial DTK: Mag heading on first leg (you correct for variation) • Initial Turn: Left/Right • Number of legs: Your choice • FMS knob: ACTIVATE SAR • ENT button *NOTE: Will go direct-to entry point

  11. Route Search* • Ensure your data bar fields contain XTK (Cross-track) • Activate a flight plan consisting of at least the start and end points of the route. • Fly down one side of the route at 1.0NM XTK, then down the other side at 1.0NM XTK * Can also be performed using a the “Parallel Track” feature on a leg of the flight plan

  12. Creeping Line Search This is really just a parallel track pattern with different dimensions • Find DTK between start point and end point by entering that leg in the flight plan • FMS knob: Highlight beginning waypoint • MENU button • FMS knob: Search and Rescue • ENT button (continued on next slide) DTK = 245

  13. Creeping Line Search • FMS knob: • Pattern: Parllel • Initial DTK: 90 degrees from the DTK between waypoints • Initial Turn: Left or Right depending on whether you added or subtracted 90 degrees • Leg Length: 5.0NM • Spacing: 2.0NM • Number of legs: A few dozen • FMS knob: ACTIVATE SAR • ENT button DTK = 245 Initial DTK = 254-90 Initial DTK = 155 Turns = Right turns, because we subtracted90 degrees from the DTK

  14. Advanced SAR Patterns • Expanding Square • Route • Creeping Line • Sector

  15. Sector Search • Activate a flight plan consisting of at least the start point • FPL button • FMS knob: Push to activate cursor • FMS knob: Highlight entry point (grid corner) • MENU button • FMS knob: Search and Rescue • ENT button (continued on next slide)
