1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical
characteristics of the Global CDU--XLS Flight Management System.
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A. Navigation Capabilities
1. Navigation from flight plans which allows the use of published routes or other flight
paths more complex than direct point--to--point navigation.
2. Parallel track flight which allows flight at a selected distance from and parallel to
the originally selected track.
3. Vertical navigation along ascent and descent profiles whose end points are related
to flight plan waypoints. Please note that VNAV is advisory only.
4. The ability to capture the coordinates of a pilot defined waypoint and produce a
labeled waypoint.
The Frequency Management capability of the CDU--XLS provides complete control of COMM,
NAV, ADF, and DME frequencies and Transponder IDENT. Selected frequencies for all active
systems are displayed on the Control Display Unit (CDU).
1.2.3 Database
The CDU--XLS is an “earth--oriented” navigation system. In other words, it determines its location
in terms of latitude and longitude. Positional data inputs to the system must also be defined by
UP536434
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
latitude and longitude or referenced to a point on the ground whose latitude and longitude are
known. The data base in the NMU can be loaded with an extensive library of navaid data, which
includes the latitude and longitude of the following:
A. VHF navaids including all collocated VOR/DME ground stations, VOR only ground
stations, DME only ground stations, VORTAC, TACAN, and ILS/DME stations.
B. Airport Reference Points of all airports with hard surfaced runways with a length of
2000 feet or more as well as airport outer markers and runway thresholds.
C. High and Low Altitude Waypoints, Standard Instrument Departure (SID) waypoints,
Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) waypoints, Approach Intersections, and
Non--precision Approaches.
The CDU--XLS may be interfaced to ARINC 704 IRS, ARINC 571 INS, or ARINC 743 GPS sensors.
1.2.5 VLF/Omega
The CDU--XLS was originally certified with optional VLF/Omega sensors. Since the Omega
network was decommissioned in 1997, VLF/Omega information in this manual should be ignored.
The data base loaded into the NMU at the time of manufacture includes current worldwide navaids
and Airport Reference Points for airports with runways of 2000 feet or greater. CDU--XLS System
owners are shipped data base revisions every 28 days. The first year revision subscription cost
is included in the purchase price of the system, and begins at the date of warranty registration.
Additional revision service may be purchased for an additional fee.

There are no license requirements for the CDU--XLS Flight Management System.
FAR Part 25.1529 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness is met per the following instructions:
A. The NiCad batteries located within the NMU provide power to memory and the Real
Time Clock (RTC) when the units are turned off. The first indication that the batteries
are nearing the end of life is that Initialization page displayes the incorrect time.
Incorrect time will increase the time required for the initial GPS satellite acquisition.
Approximately one month after the Real Time Clock begins to be incorrect, MEM
FAIL and CNFG DATA CHANGED messages may appear, indicating flight plans,
parallax adjustments, and the configuration module checksum may be lost. Flight
plans may still be entered manually, and the GNS--XLS will still read the configuration
module correctly. It is strongly recommended that the batteries be replaced within
one month of noticing the above symptom.
If the owner prefers to replace the batteries on a periodic maintenance schedule, the
suggested maintenance interval is two years. If a Battery Installation Date label is
not present, date of delivery may be used as the starting date.
The lithium Battery located within the CDU provides power to the GPS almanac
while power is turned off. Indication that the battery is nearing the end of life is that
the GPS almanac will be lost. Loss of the GPS almanac data will result in an
excepionally long period of time to acquire sufficient satellites to navigate following
each turn on or power cycle. It is strongly recommended that the battery be
replaced as soon as possible when this problem is identified.
If the owner prefers to replace the battery on periodic maintenance schedule, the
suggested maintenance interval is four years. If a Battery Installation Date label is
not present, date of delivery may be used as the start date.
B. The lamp which illuminates the LCD display on the CDU should be replaced every
6,500 hours of operation. Operation in excess of this interval may result in reduced
readability of the display in sunlight. Total failure of the lamp is also possible,
resulting in a dark display.
C. The lamp which illuminates the alpha--numeric keyboard should be replaced every
10,000 hours of operation. Operation in excess of this interval can result in an
inability to achieve the 1 Foot--Lambert level required for an undimmed keyboard.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
This section contains suggestions and factors to consider before installing the CDU--XLS Flight
Management System. Close adherence to these suggestions will assure satisfactory
performance from the equipment.
NOTE
The conditions and tests performed on this article are minimum
performance standards. It is the responsibility of those desiring to
install this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft
to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within these
performance standards. The article may be installed only if further
evaluation by the applicant documents an acceptable installation
and is approved by the Administrator.
Exercise extreme caution when unpacking equipment. Perform a visual inspection of the unit for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a damage claim must be filed, save the shipping
container and all packing materials to substantiate your claim. The claim should be filed as soon
as possible. The shipping container and all packing materials should be retained in the event that
storage or re--shipment of the equipment is necessary.
2.2.1 General
The following paragraphs contain information pertaining to the installation of the CDU--XLS Flight
Management System, including instructions concerning the location and mounting of the
antennas.
The equipment should be installed in the aircraft in a manner consistent with acceptable
workmanship and engineering practices, and in accordance with the instructions set forth in this

UP536434
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The CDU--XLS system installation will conform to standards designated by the customer, installing
agency, and existing conditions as to the unit location and type of installation. However, the
following suggestions should be carefully considered before installing your system.
The most important contribution to improved reliability of all avionics equipment is to limit the
maximum operating temperature of the individual unit, whether panel or remote mounted. While
modern circuit designs consume less total energy, the heat dissipated per unit volume (Watts/
cubic inch) remains much the same due to contemporary high density packaging techniques.
While each individual unit may or may not require forced air cooling, the combined heat generated
by several units operating in a typical panel or rack, can significantly degrade the reliability of the
equipment. Consequently, the importance of providing forced air cooling to avionics equipment
mounted in either a panel or rack, is essential to the life span of the equipment. Adequate
provisions for cooling should be incorporated during the installation.
A. Make sure that the unit is installed in a location where the ambient temperatures are
--4°F to +131°F (--20°C to +55°C).
A. Select a mounting location that is within easy reach and clearly visible to the pilot
and which allows sufficient clearance at the rear of the unit for connectors and
cables. Refer to Figure 2--1 for screen visibility limitations.
UP536434
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
B. The maximum cable length between the Navigation Management Unit (NMU) and
Control Display Unit (CDU) is 50 feet. Do not bundle CDU/NMU data lines or
antenna cables with any power cables.
C. No more than 8 dB signal loss is allowed in the GPS antenna cable run. Refer to
Section I for information on cable types and lengths for the various antennas.
D. Mount the tray to provide good electrical bonding to airframe ground. Lightning
strike protection and RF susceptibility and emission characteristics depend on good
electrical grounding of the tray and cable shield returns.
E. All TNC connectors must have safety wire holes and must be safety wired by cross
wiring between connectors or by wiring to their respective assemblies.
A. Cut the panel opening as shown in Figure 2--7 and mount the Dzus rails on either
side of the cutout.

OMEGA/VLF systems operate with relatively low signal--to--noise ratios and have only a short
period of time to identify and use each signal. Therefore, noise sources that will cause only
momentary interference with other systems may cause a complete loss of the OMEGA/VLF signal
in which case the system will revert to the dead reckoning mode. The types of noise of most
concern to OMEGA/VLF operation are P--Static interference and 400Hz noise sources.
The Omega/VLF system can utilize two different types of antennas. These two types of antennas
are the E--Field and the H--Field. Careful consideration should be given when selecting which type
of antenna should be used in the installation.
NOTE
The installing agency should contact AlliedSignal Commercial
Avionics Systems Product Support at (913) 782--0600 for
assistance in determining a usable OMEGA/VLF antenna location
for a particular aircraft. Normal business hours are 8:00AM to
5:00PM Central Time, Monday through Friday.
1. Corona discharges from aircraft extremities. This effect is the result of an electrical
charge generated on the aircraft while it is passing through electrical fields
associated with thunderstorms or a frictional charge generated on the aircraft as it
passes through charging particles such as snow, rain, sand, or dust.
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
occur between either two unequally charged surfaces or from a charged surface to
a grounded surface.
3. Sparkover discharges from metallic surfaces that are electrically isolated from the
rest of the airframe. The isolated surface will develop a frictional charge that will
discharge itself to the rest of the airframe when the electrical potential of the air is
reached.
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The RPU has two different types of E--Field antenna systems. The first is a
stand--alone VLF blade antenna. This antenna is connected directly to the RPU and no
coupler or preamplifier is required.
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
is available in one version that is used when the VLF has a separate long wire antenna.
The VLF Coupler/Preamplifier is used when the VLF shares a long wire sense antenna
with the ADF system in the aircraft. The VLF Coupler/Preamplifier is available in two
versions. Refer to Section I for a description of the versions of the VLF
Coupler/Preamplifier.
Skin currents or ground loops may induce noise into the H--Field antenna and degrade
performance as well. Skin mapping may be necessary to determine a usable antenna
location. This technique consists of temporarily mounting the antenna in a given
location, applying power to all electrical equipment, and then checking signal reception.
It may be necessary to test several locations to determine the optimum antenna
configuration for a particular aircraft. It is important to ensure that ALL systems are on
during the reception checks. An overlooked system may cause unsatisfactory
OMEGA/VLF reception when that system is activated. Also, noise may induced if the
antenna baseplate is bonded to the airplane; therefore, it may be necessary to isolate
the H--Field antenna from the airframe at the mounting location. Details are specified in
subsection D. General Considerations.
The RPU has two different types of H--Field antenna systems. Both systems require a
loop coupler to be used between the loop antenna and the RPU. One version of the
H--Field antenna has a center mounted connector. This version along with a loop
antenna housing assembly is used for mounting the antenna external to the aircraft.
The second version of H--Field antenna has the connector mounted on the end of the
unit. This version is used when the antenna is mounted internal to the aircraft.
The GPS antenna should be mounted on top of the fuselage near the cockpit and in the centerline
of the aircraft. Avoid mounting the antenna near any projections, and the tail of the aircraft, where
shadows could occur. It is recommended that there be a separation of at least 3 feet between the
GPS antenna and any VHF Comm antenna on the aircraft. Antenna baseplate must be level within
¦ 5° in both axes when the aircraft is in level flight.
A. Bonding Checklist
UP536434
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
NOTE
Before installation of the antenna, go through the bonding checklist
to assure a quiet installation.
The values given in this checklist are the maximum resistance between the item and
the primary structure.
The recommended bonding jumper for DC and low frequency AC (50 kHz) is braided

1. Before a loop antenna is installed, the aircraft should be skin mapped to determine
the exact antenna location.
2. Place the loop antenna in the specified location. With all electrical equipment turned
on, verify signal reception. If reception is not satisfactory, move the antenna until
reception is acceptable.
NOTE
When selecting a location for the antenna, make sure all electrical
equipment are turned on, including such items as window de--icers
and landing gear retraction equipment.
4. Make sure the antenna installation is kept free of moisture. Locate the antenna 2
inches minimum from the vertical tail structure.
NOTE
For example, seal external fairings and incorporate a drain in tail
cone installations.
NOTE
This antenna is a rectangular, hermetically sealed box designed for
mounting inside the airframe.
a) Mount the antenna in a location free from 400 Hz and other low frequency
noise. Secure antenna with 4 screws and tighten to 16 inch--pounds torque.
HONEYWELL

6. If applicable, install the externally mounted loop antenna. See Section III for wiring.
NOTE
This antenna is the same as the internally mounted one except
individual aircraft installation has determined external mounting to
be optimum. The antenna is placed in a low--profile, streamlined
fairing suitable for external mounting on high speed aircraft.
NOTE
DO NOT BUNDLE THE CABLE BETWEEN THE COUPLER AND
RPU WITH THE POWER CABLES BECAUSE SYSTEM
PERFORMANCE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
7. Install the loop coupler a minimum of 1 foot to a maximum of 30 feet from the loop
antenna. See Section III for wiring.
C. VLF E--Field
1. General
b) Periodic inspections should be made of aircraft bonding devices since they are
subject to wear and breakage.
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
a) For corona discharge, install static discharger in the extremities of wings and
empennage surfaces, because these are critical in corona discharge control.
For aircraft with previously installed dischargers, check for breakage and
proper bonding. Replace broken dischargers and bond as required.
NOTE
Obtain the number and location of static dischargers recommended
for a particular aircraft from the airframe manufacturer to maximize
efficiency of the discharger set.
NOTE
Conductive paints may be mixed with outer coating or placed under
outer coating.
NOTE
Use radome paint as recommended in Table 1--3 of Section I
because the paint must have a resistance value low enough to bleed
off static charge but not low enough to render the radome
ineffective.
d) Avoid mounting the antenna near the forward section of the aircraft because
windshield streamering may occur.
3. For sparkover reduction (static sparking), locate and electrically bond external
conducting sections. Pay particular attention to the following areas:
NOTE
General bonding techniques are listed in publications such as FAA
AC43--13. In addition, aircraft manufacturers publish specific
bonding requirements and tolerances for their aircraft and should be
consulted.
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
a) After painting, check the control surface, inspection plates, panels, and drain
masts to be sure that metal--to--metal contact has been maintained where
necessary. Resistance between metal doors, panels, etc. and primary structure
should be 0.1 ohm maximum.
b) Bond control surfaces to airframe with one or more bond straps. Resistance
should be 0.1 ohm maximum. Check bond straps periodically for wear or
breakage.
NOTE
If the bond strap is broken, static dischargers will be less effective on
that surface.
4. Make sure the interference source control methods shown in Table 2--1 have been
implemented.
5. Ideally, the VLF E--Field antenna should be located on an up--slope area on the aft
bottom of aircraft. See Figure 2--2. If the antenna cannot be mounted as shown in
Figure 2--2 and must be installed on the top of the fuselage, install antenna in aft
section.
NOTE
The aft bottom location reduces or eliminates impact of P--static
particles on antenna.
6. If mounting as shown in Figure 2--2 is impossible, Figure 2--3 shows another option
for E--Field antenna mounting.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THE ENTIRE ANTENNA MOUNTING AREA IS
CLEAN BARE METAL; OTHERWISE, THE ANTENNA MAY
BE IMPROPERLY BONDED.

SYSTEM PLANNING
3.0 INTRODUCTION
You will find information relative to the CDU--XLS system requirements, options available to the
system planner, and the electrical characteristics of the various interfaces in Section 3. You will
also find pin function lists and interconnect diagrams in this section.
Section 3 contains block diagrams and interconnect diagrams for the CDU--XLS system. Refer to
Figure 3--1 for the CDU--XLS System Block Diagram. There are several interconnect drawings for
popular equipments that interface to the CDU--XLS system. The installing agency should contact
Honeywell Aerospace Electronic Systems Product Support at 1--800--257--0726 for information
regarding the compatibility of equipment not listed in this manual. Normal business hours are 8:00
AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, Monday through Friday.
Section 3 is divided into major sections by interface type or major topic. Each major section
describes in detail the specifications for particular types of interfaces with your CDU--XLS system.
The general format used within each interface type section uses the following subsections:
Information given in this section pertains only to the CDU--XLS Flight Management System using
Control Display Unit (CDU) part number 18420--0101--XXXX and Navigation Management Unit
(NMU) part number 14141--0624--XXXX. Refer to Figure 3--1 for a System Block Diagram of the
CDU--XLS.
Detailed information concerning the purpose and operation of the interface are described in this
section.
Any operational requirements or limitations relating to the interface are described in this section.
Widely followed regulatory requirements may also be described here. Regionally enforced
requirements vary greatly and adherence to them remain the responsibility of the installing agency.
UP536434
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The electrical characteristics and format of the interface signals are described in this section. Any
flavor--related differences in signal format are also described here. Overlined pin names generally
indicate active low signals, although the absence of an overline does not necessarily indicate an
active high signal.
Interconnect drawings for units that are often installed are found in this section.
The harness techniques for shielding and shield termination described in this manual are identical
to those specified for the test harness used during HIRF and Lightning testing. Adherence to the
information in this manual is essential in establishing an installation environment equivalent to the
test environment used during the HIRF and Lightning testing.
Should grounding the shields at both ends of a wire cause unacceptable interference due to noise
sources on an aircraft, double shielded wire may be substituted for single shielded wire shown in
this manual. The outer shield must be grounded at both ends to comply with HIRF and Lightning
requirements. The inner shield may then be grounded at a single end to protect against the aircraft
noise source. Normally the inner shield is grounded at the source end of the signal carried by the
wire. Planning to install double shielded wire for low level signals known to have a history of
interference may be easier than later adding the double shielded wire into the aircraft harness.

Four bidirectional serial data ports are provided for communication with up to four position sensor
units. Position unit #1 and #2 can be a VLF/OMEGA Receiver Position Unit (RPU) or an Inertial
Reference System (IRS) configurable for HI or LO speed. These two ports use standard ARINC
429 information.
Position Unit #3 ports are for connection to an IRS only. This port also uses standard ARINC 429
information. The transmitter lines are shared with an ARINC 429 radio transmitter and only
operates at low speed.
An ARINC 571 Inertial Navigation System (INS) may be connected to this fourth port.
3.5.1 OMEGA/VLF
There are five OMEGA/VLF sensors for the CDU--XLS. Four of them are 1/2 ATR Receiver
Processor Units (RPU) (P/N 30050--0505, 0606, 0808, and 0909, see Figure 1--2) and one is the
1/4 ATR Receiver Processor Unit (P/N 16675--0101). The main difference between these types
of units is the physical size and the unit connector. The --0505 and --0808 RPUs require additional
strapping for the RPU ON control (See Figure 3--8, Sheet 2).
OMEGA/VLF navigation equipment uses signals from eight (8) OMEGA transmitting stations and
signals from the U.S. Navy VLF Communications Network to provide global enroute navigation
capabilities. The CDU--XLS OMEGA/VLF sensor automatically selects the stations that will provide
the most accurate navigation. The OMEGA/VLF transmitters operate in the 10 kHz to 28kHz
frequency range.
The CDU--XLS will operate with either an E--Field or an H--Field OMEGA/VLF antenna. The
H--Field antenna is preferred. The H--Field is far less susceptible to precipitation static than the
E--Field antenna but requires an electromagnetically quiet mounting location. An E--Field antenna
should only be considered if a suitable H--Field antenna location can not be found. IFR certification

The labels received on this bus are identical to those given in paragraph 3.5.4.1 B.
The Omega/VLF system (RPU) can utilize two different types of antennas. These two types of
antennas are the E--Field and the H--Field.
The RPU has two different types of E--Field antenna systems. The first is a stand--alone VLF blade
antenna. This antenna is connected directly to the RPU and no coupler or preamplifier is required.
The second type of E--Field antenna utilizes a VLF preamplifier or VLF Coupler/Preamplifier that
allows the use of an ADF Sense antenna.
The RPU has two different types of H--Field antenna systems. Both systems require a loop coupler
to be used between the loop antenna and the RPU. One version of the H--Field antenna has a
center mounted connector. The second version of H--Field antenna has the connector mounted
on the end of the unit.

active waypoint.
DR ANNUNCIATOR: When illuminated, indicates that the system is in the Dead Reckoning mode
of operation.
MESSAGE ANNUNCIATOR: When flashing, indicates that there is an item on the Message page
which requires the pilot’s attention.
The following output is provided to annunciate CDU--XLS conditions. It may be used to illuminate
lamps, engage relays, or to be sensed directly by other systems. The term illuminate, as used
below, indicates the active high state of the annunciator output.
ACTIVE = OPEN
INACTIVE = GND
HEADING MODE ANNUNCIATOR: When illuminated, indicates that the system is using
FMS heading to control steering to the autopilot.
Message (MSG), Waypoint (WPT), Dead Reckoning (DR), Selected Crosstrack Warning, and
FMS Heading (FMS HDG) annunciators are required for all systems. Approach (APPR)
annunciation is needed for GPS approaches. Some EFIS systems will annunciate this, so a
discrete annunciator is not needed. Additional annunciator requirements will vary according to the
system configuration, operational considerations and applicable regulatory requirements.
CAUTION
Annunciators to be DC voltage only with a maximum of +33
VDC. Annunciator dimming may be by photocell or day/night
switch. Do not use panel lighting rheostat dimmed bus.
These outputs are open collector transistors. When active, the transistor is turned on and
conducting which provides a sink to ground for a load such as a lamp or a relay.

The FMS provides an output signal to indicate when the FMS is sending valid digital serial
radio tuning data on any of the radio tune outputs. This output can be used by external
equipment.
The CDU--XLS will automatically tune the NAV radios when the AUTOTUNE mode is selected.
There are two switch inputs on the FMS that may be connected to two AUTO/MAN switches
mounted in the cockpit. These switches provide a momentary contact to ground. Each time
either switch is depressed, the FMS will change states, either from manual radio tuning mode
or autotuning mode.
In dual systems, both NAV 1 AUTOTUNE inputs are tied together. The same is true for the
NAV 2 AUTOTUNE inputs. The inputs are internally pulled up to +15 VDC through a 4.7 K
Ohm resistor.

1. The 12th and 13th harmonics of the frequencies tested above can be radiated
from the VHF COMM at a level strong enough to cause interference with the
GPS receiver and still be low enough to meet TSO requirements for the VHF
COMM. If this is found to be the source of the interference, an optional notch
filter ( Honeywell P/N 071-- 01565--0000 or TED Mfg. P/N 4--70--54) will need to
be installed. This inline filter should be installed as close to VHF transceiver as
possible.

SECTION V
CERTIFICATION
5.0 INTRODUCTION
This section outlines the procedures required to obtain IFR certification for the CDU--XLS.
Recommended flight test procedures are also included.
NOTE
This section contains examples and guidance for aircraft installation.
This does not in any way absolve the installer from investigating and
resolving any issues related to certification on aircraft. The material
in this section is for reference only.
Careful consideration must be paid to the electrical characteristics of existing equipment or possible
additions that will be interfaced to the CDU--XLS Flight Management System, in order to ensure
system compatibility. Section III of this manual provides system planning guidelines, and defines
the electrical characteristics of the CDU--XLS Flight Management System. The installing agency
should contact Honeywell Aerospace Electronic Systems, Product Support at 1--800--257--0726,
for information regarding the compatibility of equipment not listed in Section III. Normal business
hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, Monday through Friday.
The CDU--XLS Flight Management System and associated indicators, annunciators, and switches
should be clearly visible and within easy reach of the pilot. Refer to Section II of this manual for
complete installation information.
The installing agency should contact a local FAA Inspector (GADO, FSDO, ACDO, or ACO) who
will determine whether the installation may be approved by submitting FAA Form 337, or whether
a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) will be required. If FAA Form 337 is determined to be
sufficient, the installing agency should determine the acceptability of the procedures defined within
this manual. If the FAA Inspector determines that an STC is required, the installing agency will need
to contact the nearest Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), to obtain acceptable procedures.
The FAA Central Region Aircraft Certification Office, Wichita, Kansas, has on file an approved
report regarding the CDU--XLS Flight Management System. This report contains the bench test data
and DO--160C environmental test data required to demonstrate the CDU--XLS Flight Management
System’s compliance.
HONEYWELL
CDU-XLS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A Flight Manual Supplement is required for IFR approval. A sample supplement is provided in the
Flight Manual Supplement Appendix, of this manual. The sample is to be used as a guide to
acceptable content and format, and is not intended to apply to all installations. It is the responsibility
of the installing agency to prepare an appropriate Flight Manual Supplement, and obtain FAA
approval.
The installing agency should carefully review the Flight Manual Supplement and the CDU--XLS
Flight Management System Pilot’s Guide, P/N 006--08872--0000, with the owner/operator of the
aircraft.
Flight testing to gain IFR approval involves several dynamics listed below:
2. Antenna shading checks by maneuvering the aircraft in turns up to 30° of bank for one
minute, in both directions.
4. Verifying proper flight control system tracking when coupled to the GPS.
Reference FAA Advisory Circular AC 20--130A, for further details. Optionally AC20--138 can be
consulted for GPS issues. AC20--129 should be consulted for Aircraft Certification issues related
to Vertical Navigation (VNAV).

1. The Operators Manual Title is “GNS--X C129 (with GNS--XLS CDU)” the current revision is
revision 2, August 2000.
2. The sample AFMS in section 2.2B calls out a reference for AC20--130A for VORTAC
accuracy checks. In the current version of AC20--130A the section should be 7. System
Accuracy (2).
3. The sample AFMS in section 2.5 B points out a limitation of flight plan display. This is system
configuration dependent and may not be true for all installations.
4. AFMS sample 2.5 C points out limitations in the Jeppesen database, the same limitation is
still advised.
5. AFMS sample 2.5D indicates that Approaches may become active further out than 2.0 nmi.
This is no longer a true limitation of the CDU--XLS SM04 (NMU) or greater.
