AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL
There is no provision for IRS “Down Mode Align”.
NOTE:
Honeywell HG2100AB and HG2100BB Series IRS equipment installed in the Gulfstream G450 has been certified for alignment to 78° Latitudes. For alignment between 70° and 78° Latitude, a fifteen (15) minute alignment time is required. For flights above 73° N and
60° S Latitude, Electronic Flight Information System
(EFIS) heading information must be switched from magnetic (MAG) to TRUE due to loss of valid MAG heading from the IRS.
There are no restrictions for an in air automatic alignment (Align in Motion
- AIM) and the AIM time could take less than ten (10) minutes. The AIM time could take more than twenty (20) minutes if any one or combination of the following conditions are present:
• No change in heading during alignment
•
No changes in acceleration during alignment
• An east to west flight trajectory such that the IRUs sensed rotational rates in inertial space is nearly equal to zero (0).
NOTE:
Airplane maneuvers involving changes in heading reduces alignment time. Alignment time increases with latitude - i.e., minimum time is at the equator and maximum time is at the poles.
1. Operation During Refueling:
Do NOT operate radar during refueling of the airplane or when within
300 ft (92 meters) of other refueling operations.
2. Operation At Other Times:
Do NOT operate radar within 49 ft (15 meters) of ground personnel with 24 ″ antenna installed.
1. Software:
Verify that the navigation computer software version is NZ7.X or later approved version. Verify that the database is current. If the database is out of date, flight may be continued providing the latitude / longitude of each waypoint is verified by the crew. A current database is required in order to fly any approach procedure using the FMS.

2. High Latitude Navigation:
FMS Navigation above 89° North or South Latitude is approved.
3. Approaches:

• RNAV (RNP)
•
GPS
• VOR / DME RNAV
• VOR*
• VOR / DME*
•
TACAN
• NDB*
*Approaches above, suffixed with an asterisk, may be flown with FMS guidance provided the appropriate civil aviation authority has approved such operations. See that country’s
Aeronautical Information Publication, or AIP, to confirm approval. In the US, AC 90- 108 advises that RNAV systems cannot be used as a substitute for the navaid lateral guidance during the final approach segment.
B. Limitations and Exceptions:
(1) The final segment of the approach must be flown with the
FMS in the Approach Mode.
DR or DEGRADE annunciators cancel the Approach Mode.
(2) For airplanes having ASC 059B (or later approved revision), RNAV (GPS) or RNAV (GNSS) approaches can be executed to LPV minima. When loading an approach with LPV minima into the FMS, either graphically or using the MCDU, the FMS will default to the LPV criteria.
Removing the LPV criteria from the FMS in order to perform the approach using LNAV or LNAV / VNAV minima can be done only using the MCDU. With the LPV mode captured, it is recommended that transition to
LNAV minima or a go-around be performed if the LPV
Unavailable caution CAS message displays.
NOTE:
EGPWS Mode 6 must be operable and the associated audio callouts not inhibited, when performing RNAV
(GPS) approaches to LPV minima.

(3) Prior to conducting RNAV (RNP) approaches with
Authorization Required (AR), appropriate operational approval (i.e., Operations Specifications (OpsSpecs),
Letter of Authorization (LOA), or Management
Specifications (Mspecs)) must be obtained.
Requirements and operational guidance are found in AC
90-101, and in the Gulfstream RNP AR Operations
Manual, GAC-OIS-02 or GAC-OIS-07 (basic issue or later approved revision).
(4) For airplanes having ASC 059B or (later approved revision) with SBAS receivers), SBAS-enabled GPS navigators are in compliance with TSO-145c/146c.
4. Non-WGS-84 Airspace / Countries Partially Compliant with
WGS-84:
When operating in non-WGS-84 airspace or in countries where the airspace is partially compliant with WGS- 84, the FMS with GPS position updating meets the required navigation accuracy and may be used for SIDS, STARS and en route navigation. When flying ILS,
VOR or ADF approaches and missed approach procedures in these two situations, the GPS updating does not need to be inhibited or deselected provided the appropriate raw data is used throughout the approach and missed approach as the primary navigation reference.
For countries that are partially WGS-84 compliant, when RNAV
(GNSS) approaches are offered, these approaches may be flown using the FMS with GPS position updating provided the approach chart is annotated with “PANS OPS”.
5. RNP Operations:
Aircraft complies with RNP RNAV Operations as defined in RTCA /
DO-236B and DO-283, have been demonstrated with the following limitations and exceptions:
NOTE:
The FMS RNP demonstration does not constitute an operational approval.
A. RNP flight operations are subject to GPS satellite availability and / or navaid coverage for the selected route.
Crews should deselect (NOTAM) ground navaid(s) that are not to be used for navigation.
B. Navigation Infrastructure:
The FMS assumes the availability of a navigation infrastructure consistent with the assumptions provided in DO-236B /
DO-283 Appendix C.

AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL
C. The FMS assumes all waypoint and facility location data is in WGS-84 reference datum whereby the waypoints and facilities accuracy is maintained in accordance with
DO-201 specifications.
D. Scope of DO-236B Compliance:
The FMS does not provide the Time of Arrival Control (TOAC), fixed radius transitions, or RNP holding functions described in
DO-236B.
E. Alarm Limits:
The RNP implementation for the FMS is consistent with the industry guidance provided in DO-236B and DO-283.
Implementation of RNP requirements resulted in certain differences from the TSO C129a requirements. The FMS provides a containment integrity limit as defined in DO-236B.
The RNP containment limit is defined as two times the RNP value, and the default RNP values are defined as 0.3 for
Approach, 1.0 for Terminal Area, 2.0 for En Route, and 10.0 for
Oceanic / Remote. These different alarm limits are summarized in the following table:

F. For the FMS database defined GPS approach procedure, the FMS limits the alarm limit to 0.3 for consistency with
TSOC129a. However, for other approach procedures, the
DO-236B alarm limit applies. For airplanes having ASC
059B (or later approved revision), the FMS alarm limit for
RNP AR approaches less than 0.3 RNP is 1.5 (one and onehalf) times the RNP value.
G. For airplanes having ASC 059B (or later approved revision), and operators having RNP AR approval, the RNP values for RNAV (RNP) approaches are retrieved from the navigation database.
When loading a RNAV (RNP) approach with multiple RNP value minima into the FMS, either graphically or using the MCDU, the FMS will default to the lowest RNP value minima. Changing the RNP value minima can only be done using the MCDU.
H. The FMS does not provide the capability to retrieve a
RNAV RNP value from the navigation database, except as described in item (G) above. Default RNP values are defined by flight phase, as shown above. Operation in airspace with defined RNP values, different from the default values, requires operator entry of the appropriate value.
I. Runway Initialization:
If GPS position is not available at take-off and RNP operations are required, the FMS position must be updated prior to takeoff for improved navigation accuracy. The FMS position shall only be updated to the runway coordinates when the airplane is located on the runway threshold.
J. Time to Alarm:
The FMS provides a time to alarm based on phase of flight, consistent with the default RNP values and expected RNP usage defined in DO-283.

For oceanic/remote operations the 60 second alarm limit defined in DO-283 differs from the

K. Database Integrity:
The RNP RNAV airworthiness approval has accounted for database accuracy or compatibility. Refer to the Operators
Manual for the procedures for database accuracy / compatibility compliance.
L. Containment Integrity Exposure Period:
The containment integrity requirement defined in DO-236B is that the probability of total system error exceeding the crosstrack containment limit without annunciation be less than 10 -5 per flight hour. This integrity requirement is divided equally between faulted and fault-free performance. The probability of faulted performance has been shown to be less than 5x10 -6 per flight hour. For fault-free performance, the instantaneous probability of exceeding the integrity limit has been shown to be less than 5x10 -6 , however the exposure period has not been considered in the fault-free case.
M. Along-track Accuracy:
Containment alerting is based on cross-track navigation performance; however navigation accuracy is required in both the cross-track and along-track dimensions. Because of the unique NAVAID geometries involved in the DME / DME and
VOR / DME updating modes, navigation performance is optimized in the cross-track dimension. As a result, along-track accuracy has not been demonstrated to meet the RNP requirement for these modes. For DME / DME, the worst-case along-track uncertainty is 0.47 NM on a 95% basis wherever signals can be received. For VOR / DME, the worst-case along-track position uncertainty will occur when the VOR is abeam the airplane at the maximum permissible distance based on the figure of merit (service volume) of the facility.

6. AFN, ADS-C, and CPDLC Operations:
Airplanes having the latest approved version of the Honeywell
PRIMUS EPIC system, comply with the interoperability requirements of RTCA D0-258A for AFN and ADS-C operations. Additionally, airplanes equipped with ASC 059B (or later approved revisions) demonstrate compliance with RTCA DO-258A for CPDLC operations.
A. Interoperability requirements for ATS applications using
ARINC 622 Data Communications (FANS 1/A
Interoperability Standard) comply with RTCA DO-258A.
B. AFN, ADS-C, and CPDLC are also approved for oceanic and remote operation within the NAT and in areas outside of the NAT. The proper datalink capability must be noted on the filed ICAO flight plan: block 10 should include “J” and “/D”, and block 18 should include “DAT/SV”.
NOTE:
This constitutes engineering approval only. Operational approval must be obtained from the local authority
(FSDO) prior to using ADS-C and / or CPDLC capability.
Requirements and operational guidance are found in AC
120-70x.
7. Position Sensors:
The selected sensor for the FMS position is chosen by comparing the EPU values of all available sensors that have not been deselected by the pilot, and choosing the sensor with the lowest value. Sensor accuracy is the produced Figure of Merit (FOM) for
GPS and Hybrid IRU, and the computed EPU for IRS drift and radio position. Once a sensor is selected, that sensor remains selected unless the EPU of another sensor is at least 5% lower than the EPU of the selected sensor. For an instrument approach selected from the
NAV database, the selected sensor functions in one of two ways:
When the database record indicates that the chosen approach has a required sensor (e.g., GPS required), then that sensor is locked as the selected sensor at three miles from the FAF and remains the selected sensor throughout the approach. When the database record does not indicate that the chosen approach has a required sensor, the sensor with the best accuracy when the aircraft is three miles from the FAF is locked as the selected sensor for the remainder of
