19.1 NAVIGATIONAL

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Five independent navigational selections for the

pilot's and copilot's steering functions are provided.
The normal navigational selections are GPS, INUl,
INUl/GPS, INU2, and INU2/GPS. If a pilot selects
INU3 as the attitude and navigational source using the
external auxiliary selector, then INU3 replaces INUI
or INU2 as a selectable navigational source.
The fundamental

difference

Toggles navigational source

for pilot steering:
INU1/GPS
INU2/GPS
INU1

between

the INU

solutions and the INU/GPS solutions following loss of

GPS information (INUI- - -) is that the INU outputs
in the INU/- - - solution are corrected with the
Kalman Filter estimated INU "real time" drift errors
computed while GPS data was available, resulting in a
more accurate navigational solution than the INU
alone would provide.
The navigational sources being used for the pilot's and
copilot's steering are indicated on the Pilot and
Copilot Lateral Steering Pages as shown in Figure 82.

DATA DISPLAYS

Each navigational
source (whether
selected for
pilot/copilot
steering
or not) has its own
Integrated
Navigation
(INAV) Page to display its
current
position
and navigational
status
(see
Figure 84), not dependent
on whether that source
is being used as either pilot's steering selection.
Table
5 provides
a summary
of the possible
navigation
sources
that are available
and the
current status of each source.

when compared
with the known aircraft position
(greater
than lOOnm), the "INAV RESET"
line
select key may be used to zero the Kalman Filter
error estimates
and re-start
its process.
This
action requires
confirmation.
"INAV RESET"
will not degrade
normal navigational
accuracy,
but it will eliminate
the benefit of the INU error
estimates
if GPS data should become unavailable
before they can be re-estimated
(usually about
half an hour after resetting).

19.3.1 INUl/GPS and INU2/GPS Displays

The INUl/GPS
and INU2/GPS INAV Pages show
the computed present position of those integrated
navigation
solutions,
along with a "95% error"
figure of merit for the probable
system accuracy
given the currentINU
alignment and GPSsatellite
navigational
quality (see Figure
85). This page
also shows the difference between its navigational
position
and that of the "designated
pilot's"
selected
steering
solution
(if it is a different
source).
If, due to a grossly mis - aligned INU or other
anomalous condition, the position shown is incorrect

If GPS data becomes unavailable

en route, the
previously-computed
INU corrections
will
continue
to be applied
to this navigational
solution,
so it will be more accurate
than the
uncorrected
INU solution.
However, to enable
the crew to manually
update
the solution
if
necessary,
the "UPDATE"
line select
key
becomes available and may be used as described in
Section 19.4.
Manually
remove
GPS inputs to an INU/GPS
solution by toggling the "GPS" line select key to

and INU3 Displays

The INUI and INU2 and INU3 INAV Pages show the
present position from the respective INUs, along with
the alignment circular error probable (CEP) (see
Figure 86). The current alignment mode is also
displayed. The "DIFF" readout shows the difference
between the INU position and the "designated
pilot's" selected steering solution (if it is a different
source).
These pages also provide access to the individual INU
control page functions of the Carousel IV INUs, as
shown in Figure 86.
Each INU's Control Page may only be accessed from
the CDU which directly interfaces with that INU; i.e.,
INUI may only be controlled via CDUl, INU2 may
only be controlled via CDU2, and INU3 may only be
controlled via CDU3. Once a control page has been
accessed for an INU, the procedures for initializing,
controlling and displaying data for that INU is as
described in the Carousel IV operational procedures.
The "DTK-STS" selection is provided to access the
INU status codes and enter modes and code data into
the INU. Normal entries from the INU operator's
guide are provided.
To enable Triple Mix operations, enter "4" and press
"INSERT". Caution: Triple Mix is a reversionary
navigation state that should be used only when GPS
data is unavailable. Use of a Triple Mix INU solution
16 May 1997
CPN: 988-4610-001,
USAF C-5 Version

with the GPS integrated

solutions can cause
unpredictable behavior in the integrated solution.
DO NOT use Triple Mix modes with the INU/GPS
solutions.
To disable Triple Mix operations, enter "5" and press
"INSERT".
The "POSITION" selection is provided for entering
alignment present position. As a reminder to enter
the present position, the annunciation line will display
INUx PP (where x = 1, 2, or 3). After selecting the
position function, the alignment position is entered,
first a latitude, followed by "INSERT", then a
longitude, followed by "INSERT". After the INU
Mode Select Unit has transitioned to alignment, the
current alignment state can be monitored by selecting
"DTK-STS".
The "TEST" and AUTO/MAN selections are
provided to initiate INU tests and verify proper
behavior of the Inertial system. When on the
DTK-STS selection, TEST is used to review each of
the INU status codes.
The "WAY PT" selection is used to review the pure
inertial data prior to disabling Triple Mix operation.
To review pure inertial data, press "HOLD", then
select the WAY PT toggle selection. Note: True
waypoints are entered into the FMS flight plan, not on
the INU waypoint list.
The "HDG-DA" selection is used to review the
current INU heading and drift angle.

The "HOLD" selection is used to hold the present
position and review the data for updating the INU.
Caution: The FMS-800 allows manual updates of the
INU per the INU operator's manual procedures.
Manually updating an INU with this procedure can
cause adverse effects to the Kalman filter models of
the FMS-800 and temporarily degrade the Kalman
filtered navigation solution.

The TESTIHOLD and TEST buttons can be used

together to review INU Fault History. See the INU
operator's guide for further instructions.
The Remote and Hold selections are used to enable
gimbal testing of the INU in accordance with INU

19.3.3 GPS Display

The GPS INAV Page shows the present position
output from the GPS receiver, along with a "95%
error" figure of merit for the probable system
accuracy, given the current GPS satellite navigational
quality (satellite tracking state and geometry) as
shown in Figure 87. If "GPS/A/H" is indicated on the
title line, the FMS-800 is using airspeed and heading
sensor inputs to smooth the GPS data. This is
required to have a valid bank (roll) command output
to the flight director and autopilot.
The "MODE" indicates the current GPS receiver
tracking/aiding
mode:
"INIT",
"TEST",
"NAVIINU", or "NAVIPVI\'. If in the "NAVIINU"
mode, the GPS satellite tracking performance is
enhanced over the "NAV/PV/\' mode in the presence
of jamming and while maneuvering.

The "STATE" indicates the lowest tracking state 01

the four primary satellite tracking channels: "STATE
1" is acquisition, "STATE 3" is code track only (in
jamming) and "STATE 5" is code and carrier lock (no
jamming).

The number of satellites being tracked for primary

navigational purposes is also indicated; the normal
"fully determined" number is 4. Less than 4 may result
in GPS data invalidity.
Access the GPS Satellite
Data Page to view
information on the satellites currently being tracked
by the GPS receiver, including satellite vehicle

19.4.2 TACAN Updates

TACAN updates provide the ability to update position

using radial bearing and slant range data from
TACAN or VORJDME equipment. Given the radial
bearing and slant range from the TACAN or
VOR/DME and the location of the Navaid station
from the ICAO identifier data base, the FMS can
compute the present position of the aircraft. This
computed position can be used to update the selected
navigational solution displayed on the Update Page.
To perform a TACAN update, the TACAN radio to be
used should first be tuned using an ICAO station

identifier and the station should be verified to be

correct.
On the Update Page (Figure 90),
(1) Toggle the left line select key second from the top
to "TACAN".
(2) Enter the TACAN bearing/slant range FROM the
indicated station as read from the HSI or TACAN
bearing indicator.
(3) "FREEZE" the position and update difference
("DIFF") displays, and verify reasonableness.
(4) "ACCEPT" or "REJECT" the difference for
update of the selected navigational solution.

Updates to "Designated Pilot" Solution Position

To update the navigational solution to that of the

Figure 91),
(1) toggle the left line select key second from the top
to show the current solution;
(2) "FREEZE" the position and update difference

126

Note that if GPS data is not available and the pilot

desires to update all remaining valid navigational
solutions (INU1, INU2, INU3, INUlI---,
and
INU2/- - -) to the same position, the optimum
procedure is to first update the selected "designated
pilot" steering solution using a MANUAL, or TACAN
update, then update the others individually to that
solution.
Then, all will be exactly the same
immediately thereafter.

AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY
MONITORING (RAIM)
The FMS-800 provides the crew access to pages
displaying the individual channel/satellite tracking
status for each GPS receiver and the RAIM
control/predictive RAIM for the active GPS receiver.
These pages are accessed by selecting the related line
key on the GPS INAV page as shown in Figure 93.
To request the availability of approach RAIM at a
destination airport, first enter the identifier of the
airport in the top line of the RAIMIPREDICfION
page. Then enter the expected time of arrival (ETA)
in UTe. After performing the prediction calculation,
the FMS-800 will display the availability of approach
RAIM on the page information line. This availability
applies to a period from 15 minutes prior to the
entered ETA until 15 minutes after the ETA.
The FMS-800 provides an active RAIM solution at

state -of- health and orbital geometry, the FMS -800

is capable of determining when the GPS navigation
solution is degraded or suspect due to satellite
failures. If the GPS receiver is unable to provide a
RAIM solution due to satellite tracking problems or
problems with the satellite constellation geometry, a
NO RAIM annunciation and external RAIM alert will
be provided to inform the crew of the absence of
RAIM protection. During a NO RAIM period, the
GPS navigation solution may be acceptable but the
integrity of that solution will be indeterminate.
During normal GPS navigation with an active RAIM
solution, if the GPS receiver determines that there is
an inconsistency in the GPS navigation solution, a
RAIM WARN annunciation and external RAIM alert
will be provided to inform the crew of a degraded GPS
navigation solution.
When a RAIM WARN is
provided, the crew should immediately select a
non-GPS based navigation solution on the Lateral
Steer page (see Figure 82) until the integrity of the
GPS navigation solution is restored.
