How do I show/hide the map while in the FMS page using only the bezel buttons?

Double-press the FMS button

Hold down either side of the FMS button

Quick-press the left side of the FMS button

Turn the left lower knob

Please select an option. Incorrect Each of the page buttons (SVS, FMS, MAP, AUX) are actually 3 buttons in one, and holding either side of the button will bring out either the map or the datablocks, depending on the page you are on.

How many standby frequencies can be viewed in the IFD550/540?

One

Two

Three

Four

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD will allow you to view and change up to 4 standby frequencies at once for easy recall.

How do I pull up frequency nomination on the IFD440 since it does not have a FREQ button?

This feature does not exist on the 440 due to size

Turn the lower right knob

Turn the lower left knob

Tap the standby frequency block

Please select an option. Incorrect Tapping the standby block will bring up the on-screen numerical keyboard. The lower left knob is dedicated for frequency tuning and performs another function on the 440 due to no FREQ button.

What mode is the IFD in when the source state shows “LNAV” in green?

GPS mode, but the approach is armed

GPS mode with an LNAV approach loaded into the flight plan

Approach mode for the loaded approach

Localizer Mode

Please select an option. Incorrect The active Source State (Mode) will be in green, and anything that is armed will be in cyan (blue). LNAV is a GPS guided approach, but the source state also determines the CDI scaling, which is why the source state would not show GPS but rather the approach mode.

I just started the plane and getting ready to taxi. What does it mean if my source state says GPS and it is in yellow?

The IFD isn’t receiving GPS position

I have not activated my flight plan

The IFD is still performing its built-in test

There is an internal fault

Please select an option. Incorrect The GPS status page is where to look for GPS signal strength. The source state turns green when the flight plan is loaded and activated in the IFD.

I want to depart my airport and navigate directly to an airway. Why aren’t airways available to select?

I have not loaded a VOR along that airway yet

The airway does not exist

My databases are expired

Airways are filtered out of my FMS setup in User Options

What is a “Gap In Route”?

A design flaw in the IFD software

A discontinuity in the flight plan that denotes an incomplete clearance

A warning that the nav database is expired

A configuration error between the IFD and the CDI
