INTRODUCTION
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS) provides a complete Global Navigation System (GNS)
and area navigation (RNAV) solution for world-wide four-dimensional aircraft navigation in the oceanic/remote,
en-route, terminal and non-precision approach. It includes extensive flight management capabilities and a full
range of navigation and flight planning features, together with simple route and flight plan creation and
modification procedures. A world-wide subscription navigation database, stored in a non-volatile memory,
provides the CMA-9000 FMS with information on waypoints, navaids and airports. In addition the database is
capable of storing customer defined routes and waypoints. The CMA-9000 FMS is a Flight Management
System (FMS) which also integrates the functionality of Radio Management System (RMS) and Control Display
Unit (CDU) into a standalone, cockpit mounted enclosure.
The CMA-9000 FMS accepts data from the following external navigation sensors, if installed:
Information from these sensors is combined with air reference data inputs of heading, true air speed and altitude
to determine aircraft position. This position is then used for navigating along a programmed flight plan created
by selecting waypoints along a desired route from the navigation database (flight planning).
In dual/triple CMA-9000 FMS installations, the systems can be configured in either independent or synchronized
mode automatically upon startup.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The provides a color display of alphanumeric data. An alphanumeric keyboard allows data entry, data
editing and system control of the flight management functions.
The display is a sunlight readable color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD). Dedicated function
keys and line select keys allow easy operator control of flight management functions. The keyboard panel is
integrally lit from a panel light dimming bus. The CMA-9000 FMS panel is illustrated in Section 2 along with
an explanation of the keys and their function.
For the control of the display brightness, two options are proposed. The first option consists in the
combination of light sensors and manual brightness setting. Two light sensors on the CMA-9000 FMS front
panel sense any change in the cockpit ambient light level. This results in an increase or decrease in display
brightness relative to a manual brightness setting. The second option consists in an external dimming bus.
The Flight Management Unit (FMU) accepts data from external navigation sensors and performs all the
signal processing and computations required to generate high performance navigation data. The FMU
accepts operator’s commands from the alphanumeric keyboard, provides navigation, steering and status
data on its own display and to the primary navigation flight displays. The FMU also provides suitably
formatted outputs for the flight guidance system.
The external GPS Receiver receives signals transmitted by US DoD Global Positioning System satellites. It
provides all the signal processing and computational capability required to determine aircraft position,
velocity and time. The sensor continuously monitors the integrity of the satellites using a high performance
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor (RAIM).
NAVIGATION MODES
The CMA-9000 FMS is providing a Military or Civil configuration option; integrity monitoring and resulting
consequences as required by TSO-C115b, AC20-130A and DO-236A are the main differences between the two
options.
When in the civil navigation option, the sensor navigation solutions will be assumed not to have integrity unless
proven otherwise. The navigation modes selection logic is geared to safety (integrity) and the CMA-9000 FMS
may force mode transitions to remain in a navigation mode with integrity, thereby also preventing unnecessary
alarms from being raised. This configuration option is intended to fully comply with TSO-C115, AC20-130A and
the integrity requirement of DO-236A.
The CMA-9000 FMS will determine integrity, availability and accuracy for each navigation mode solution.
A navigation solution will be available if sufficient data required to compute the solution is received from the
sensor source and no critical failures are detected. For each navigation solution, a horizontal position sensor
value, Navigation Performance (NP), will be determined. The probability of the error exceeding the NP
-5
containment value will be no more than 10 per hour for the variables monitored. For some navigation solutions,
insufficient data may not ensure that the required probability is always met. In this case, when in the military
navigation option, the CMA-9000 FMS will nevertheless compute a NP value using the available data. In this
same case, when in the civil navigation option, the CMA-9000 FMS will make the NP value unavailable.
When in the civil navigation option, a navigation solution will be deemed to have integrity if:
• The solution’s NP value is less than the active error limit and,
• For some sensors where the NP does not include all the necessary variables to ensure the required
probability is always met, other criteria ensuring integrity are met. If integrity can never be assured, the
CMA-9000 FMS will declare the navigation solution for a specific sensor never having integrity. The error
limit can be configured to either Phase of Flight (POF) or Required Navigation Performance (RNP).
All accuracy-based transitions will use the 95% probability error statistics and will include a hysteresis value of
100m, except for the transition from GPS to INS/GPS sensor and the transition from VOR/DME with integrity to
DME/DME with integrity. The transitions for these two cases will be done without hysteresis. This is also
applicable when the navigation sensor cross-check is configured. In a configuration with multiple FMSs, a
hysteresis of 100m will also be applied when switching from a sensor to another identical sensor but from a
different FMS.
The CMA-9000 FMS has the following navigation modes: Hybrid GPS/INS, GPS (or cGPS), mGPS, DME/DME,
VOR/DME/TACAN, hybrid INS/DVS, Inertial, Doppler, KALMAN and Dead-Reckoning (DR). The availability of
specific navigation modes depends on the equipment configuration.
Available sensors are selected in the following order of priority, based on nominal accuracy performance:
A. GPS
GPS is normally the highest priority navigation mode of the FMS and will be used when sufficient satellite
coverage exists in the phases of flight for which it is approved.
The GPS mode will be selected for navigation when its RAIM function (or FMS’s computed NAIM when a
backup navigation sensor is also available to the FMS) computes a Horizontal Integrity Limit (HIL) value
which is less than the GPS Position Integrity Alert Limit (GPIAL). The latter is a function of the current phase
of flight and of the Required Navigation Performance (RNP). When the HIL exceeds the alert limit, or if the
GPS loses its RAIM function, then:
GPS will remain selected for navigation, but the GPS Integrity annunciator will illuminate and the “GPS
POS UNCERTAIN” alert message will be displayed.
If at any time GPS becomes unavailable for navigation, the CMA-9000 FMS will revert to the Dead
Reckoning (DR) mode of navigation, the GPS integrity annunciator will illuminate, and the “GPS NAV
LOST” alert message will be displayed.
• If additional sensors are available and approved for the phase of flight (DME/DME or
VOR/DME/TACAN):
The CMA-9000 FMS will continuously compute an ANP based on the difference of two positions (GPS
and other sensor) and the accuracy of the other sensor. If this ANP exceeds the required accuracy, or if
at any time the GPS sensor becomes unavailable for navigation, the CMA-9000 FMS will revert to the
next best IFR-approved navigation mode, the GPS Integrity annunciator will illuminate, and the “GPS
NAV LOST”* alert message will be displayed.
B. DME/DME
DME/DME is used in areas with sufficient DME and TACAN coverage, provided the appropriate navigation
database is configured. In this mode the CMA-9000 FMS automatically tunes the DME transceiver,
acquiring distance information from up to six DME and TACAN (DME capable) ground stations. The DME
distance is corrected for slant range error. Information on the DME facilities in use is displayed on the DME
STATUS page, and individual stations can be inhibited from the navigation solution from the DME
DESELECT page.
C. VOR/DME/TACAN
VOR/DME navigation is used in areas with sparse DME coverage where there are less than three DME
stations available. This mode combines co-located DME or TACAN distance and VOR or TACAN bearing
to determine position. Tuned facility information is displayed on the VOR/DME/TCN STATUS page.
D. Inertial
This navigation mode is available in military or civil configuration when an EGI or Inertial is configured. The
CMA-9000 FMS inertial navigation mode is based on the following parameters:
• Present Position Latitude and Longitude;
• North-South velocity;
• East-West velocity.
The CMA-9000 FMS is using the raw INS position and velocities provided by the EGI or Inertial equipment.
E. KALMAN FILTER
The KALMAN sensor interface is used when stand-alone GPS navigation and radio navigation are not
possible. Initiation of the KALMAN navigation mode is automatic upon loss of GPS and radio navigation.
The CMA-9000 FMS will use the Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), and the GPS, to provide
a KALMAN filter navigation mode. In this mode, the primary navigation sensor will be a GPS receiver.
The AHRS is used as a dead-reckoning navigation system by emulating an Inertial Navigation System (INS)
with a KALMAN filter performing closed-loop GPS based correction and alignment of the INS position. The
KALMAN Filter provides the means to combine both navigation modes so that accurate navigation can
continue for some time after the GPS is lost. The amount of time available will depend on the performance
of the AHRS used (typically 2 minutes).
When the external sensor data inputs become insufficient to maintain the normal navigation modes, the
CMA-9000 FMS reverts to the dead reckoning mode of navigation. The CMA-9000 FMS must then rely on
the last known aircraft position, combined with heading and TAS inputs, and the last valid computed wind,
for its aircraft position calculation. Prolonged DR operation will result in decreased position accuracy. Alerts
are provided when the estimated position accuracy exceeds the requirements for each phase of flight.
The CMA-9000 FMS will automatically recover its normal modes of operation and position accuracy upon
restoration of the external sensor inputs.
The Military Navigation mode does not comply with TSO C115b and TSO C129a.
When in the military navigation configuration option, the sensor navigation solutions will be assumed to have
integrity unless proven otherwise. The navigation modes selection logic is geared to accuracy performance and
the CMA-9000 FMS will not necessarily force mode transitions based on the integrity. Some integrity monitoring
is nevertheless performed to raise alarms. The pilot is expected to consider navigation mode alarms and force
navigation sensor selections if necessary.
When the military navigation configuration option is selected and the navigation sensor cross-check* option is
activated, the FMS will activate a different GPS group sensor selection logic by comparing the INS/GPS, military
GPS, and civil GPS positions to one another. INS/GPS, military GPS, and civil GPS navigation mode transitions
occur based on position error discrepancies while providing the crew with the appropriate alert messages.
*The sensor cross-check function is an alternate way to compute pseudo integrity when sensors without integrity
are installed.
When in the military navigation option, integrity is only required and defined for navigation solutions with GPS
input during the approach phase. Not having integrity does not prevent a navigation mode solution from being
used; however, it reduces its priority in the modes selection logic. Availability decides if a sensor can be used at
all.
All accuracy-based transitions will use the 95% probability error statistics and will include a hysteresis value of
100m, except for the transition from GPS to INS/GPS sensor. This is also applicable when the navigation sensor
cross-check is configured.
The CMA-9000 FMS has the following navigation modes: Hybrid GPS/INS, GPS (or cGPS), mGPS, DME/DME,
VOR/DME/TACAN, hybrid INS/DVS, Inertial, Doppler, KALMAN and Dead-Reckoning (DR). The availability of
specific navigation modes depends on the equipment configuration.
Available sensors are selected in the following order of priority, based on nominal accuracy performance:
* cGPS is displayed for the civil GPS when dual GPS is configured along with a Litton LN-100GT EGI.
A. Hybrid GPS/Inertial
The hybrid GPS/INS mode is offered only when the CMA-9000 FMS is configured in military mode and an
EGI is configured. The highest priority will be given to the hybrid GPS/INS sensor if it is configured and no
invalid flag is associated to its combined GPS/INS solution. If a flag is associated with the combined solution
the equipment may still provide pure GPS or INS solutions. The priority associated to these solutions will
follow the order listed above.
GPS is normally the highest priority navigation mode of the FMS and will be used when sufficient satellite
coverage exists in the phases of flight for which it is approved.
The GPS mode will be selected for navigation when its RAIM function (or FMS’s computed NAIM when a
backup navigation sensor is also available to the FMS) computes a Horizontal Integrity Limit (HIL) value
which is less than the GPS Position Integrity Alert Limit (GPIAL). The latter is a function of the current phase
of flight and of the Required Navigation Performance (RNP). When the HIL exceeds the alert limit, or if the
GPS loses its RAIM function, then:
GPS will remain selected for navigation, but the GPS Integrity annunciator will illuminate and the “GPS
POS UNCERTAIN”* alert message will be displayed.
If at any time GPS becomes unavailable for navigation, the CMA-9000 FMS will revert to the Dead
Reckoning (DR) mode of navigation, the GPS integrity annunciator will illuminate, and the “GPS NAV
LOST” alert message will be displayed.
• If additional sensors are available and approved for the phase of flight (DME/DME or
VOR/DME/TACAN):
The CMA-9000 FMS will continuously compute an ANP based on the difference of two positions (GPS
and other sensor) and the accuracy of the other sensor. If this ANP exceeds the required accuracy, or if
at any time the GPS sensor becomes unavailable for navigation, the CMA-9000 FMS will revert to the
next best IFR-approved navigation mode, the GPS Integrity annunciator will illuminate, and the “GPS
NAV LOST”* alert message will be displayed.
For dual GPS installations comprising an embedded GPS/INS (EGI) consisting of the following equipment:
When sensor cross-checking is configured, the FMS uses a modified algorithm to determine the mode
transitions between the INS/GPS, military GPS, and civil GPS sensors. Ultimately, the FMS will transition to
the best available navigation mode based on the information it has on each of its interfacing sensors.
* When dual GPSs are configured (civil and military from EGI), the messages which are triggered may vary
slightly (e.g. cGPS POS UNCERTAIN / mGPS POS UNCERTAIN or cGPS NAV LOST / mGPS NAV LOST) –
the detailed full list of messages is provided in Appendix E.
C. DME/DME
DME/DME is used in areas with sufficient DME and TACAN coverage, provided the appropriate navigation
database is configured. In this mode the CMA-9000 FMS automatically tunes the DME transceiver,
acquiring distance information from up to six DME and TACAN (DME capable) ground stations. The DME
distance is corrected for slant range error. Information on the DME facilities in use is displayed on the DME
STATUS page, and individual stations can be inhibited from the navigation solution from the DME
DESELECT page.
D. VOR/DME/TACAN
VOR/DME navigation is used in areas with sparse DME coverage where there are less than three DME
stations available. This mode combines co-located DME or TACAN distance and VOR or TACAN bearing
to determine position. Tuned facility information is displayed on the VOR/DME/TCN STATUS page.
E. Hybrid INS/DVS
The CMA-9000 FMS uses the hybrid INS/DVS position and velocities provided by the EGI sensor for
navigation.
It sets INS/DVS Navigation solution accuracy to the EGI sensor supplied Quality Factor value for the
INS/DVS solution.
F. Inertial
This navigation mode is made available in military or civil configuration when an EGI or Inertial is configured.
The CMA-9000 FMS inertial navigation mode is based on the following parameters:
• Present Position Latitude and Longitude;
• North-South velocity;
• East-West velocity.
The CMA-9000 FMS is using the raw INS position and velocities provided by the EGI or Inertial sensor.
G. DVS
The CMA-9000 FMS uses the Doppler Velocity Sensor position and velocities complemented with the pitch,
roll and selected heading for navigation.
It sets DVS Navigation solution accuracy to the DVS Quality Factor value for the DVS solution.
H. KALMAN FILTER
The KALMAN sensor interface is used when stand-alone GPS navigation and radio navigation are not
possible. Initiation of the KALMAN navigation mode is automatic upon loss of GPS and radio navigation.
The CMA-9000 FMS will use the Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), and the GPS, to provide
a KALMAN filter navigation mode. In this mode, the primary navigation sensor will be a GPS receiver.
The AHRS is used as a dead-reckoning navigation system by emulating an Inertial Navigation System (INS)
with a KALMAN filter performing closed-loop GPS based correction and alignment of the INS position. The
KALMAN Filter provides the means to combine both navigation modes so that accurate navigation can
continue for some time after the GPS is lost. The amount of time available will depend on the performance
of the AHRS used (typically 2 minutes).
When the external sensor data inputs become insufficient to maintain the normal navigation modes, the
CMA-9000 FMS reverts to the dead reckoning mode of navigation. The CMA-9000 FMS must then rely on
the last known aircraft position, combined with heading and TAS inputs, and the last valid computed wind,
for its aircraft position calculation. Prolonged DR operation will result in decreased position accuracy. Alerts
are provided when the estimated position accuracy exceeds the requirements for each phase of flight.
The CMA-9000 FMS will automatically recover its normal modes of operation and position accuracy upon
restoration of the external sensor inputs.
WAYPOINT NAVIGATION
The CMA-9000 FMS navigates from waypoint to waypoint sequentially, automatically changing the legs, and
displays all required navigation parameters, computed according to the relationships and direction sense
illustrated in Figure 1-1.

The CMA-9000 FMS steering function anticipates the next leg prior to reaching the active (TO) waypoint so that
the aircraft turns are smooth without any overshoot. Waypoints may be defined as either fly-by (with turn
anticipation) or fly-over (no turn anticipation). For fly-over transition the aircraft is considered to have passed a
given point when it has crossed the perpendicular to the desired track at that point. Thus, for leg sequencing to
occur, the aircraft needs only to pass abeam the waypoint.
For fly-by leg transition, leg switching, in most cases, occurs when the aircraft passes the bisector of the active
leg and the next leg.
After the last defined waypoint is overflown, or when a route discontinuity is active, the CMA-9000 FMS will
provide guidance along the extension of the last leg (when configured FIXED wing) or towards the last overflown
waypoint (when configured ROTOR), but will prevent autopilot-coupled navigation by disengaging the LNAV
mode of the autopilot/flight director (AP/FD) system.
Angular inputs to the CMA-9000 FMS may be referenced to either magnetic or true north. The input mode is
installation dependent as defined in the Airplane/Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement. The reference used for
the CMA-9000 FMS angular displays and outputs to the flight instruments, can also be selected by the operator.
Standard Instrument Departures (SID), Airways, Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STAR), STAR transitions,
GPS and GPS overlay instrument approaches, and approach transitions, can be selected from for the
departure/arrival airports. These procedure may be modified on the LEGS pages.
The implementation of the GPS instrument approach procedures is based, not only on TSO-C129a, but also on
the evolving Required Navigation Performance (RNP) airspace concept. The transition from en-route through
terminal to non-precision approach is effectively a seamless series of waypoints/legs with progressive increases
in HSI lateral deviation display sensitivity (to reduce flight technical error), and reductions in RNP value, and
appropriately-timed alert or advisory messages.
NAVIGATION DATABASE
The navigation database includes most of the information that the operator would normally determine by
referring to the navigation charts. The database may be tailored to specific customer needs and contains such
data as en-route and terminal VHF, NDB navigation facilities, airports, waypoints and named intersections. All
ARINC 424 procedural legs are implemented. The leg types and the corresponding displays are illustrated in
Appendix B.

SECTION 2
GENERAL
The CMA-9000 FMS is provided with an embedded Color Display Unit (CDU) and a Multipurpose Control
Display Unit (MCDU). The MCDU can be interfaced with up to seven other ARINC-739 capable LRUs (ACARS,
SATCOM, ACMS,…). The display section of the CMA-9000 FMS is a color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display
(AMLCD) providing fourteen lines of twenty-four characters.
The CMA-9000 FMS and the MCDU have a full alphanumeric keyboard, with special function keys. These
special function keys are in fact Front Panel Function Keys (FFKs) (e.g. INIT/REF, RTE, DEP/ARR, etc.). There
are six line select keys (LSK) on each side of the display area. The functions of the LSKs are specific to each
screen page.
The front panel arrangement of the CMA-9000 FMS is illustrated in Figure 2-1. The data is presented on a 3 X
4 inch Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD). The display format is partitioned into specifically defined
areas.

The items mentioned in the first column are used for referencing to annunciators and keys of Figure 2-1.
Display Screen:
The color and font size conventions used in the display are configurable. Each item can be displayed with a
predefined color and a predefined font size. Under the approved STANDARD configuration, the color
convention is as follows:
AMBER: The AMBER color is used only in case of critical alert conditions requesting immediate
crew attention or action (e.g. alert scratchpad messages). The MESSAGE RECALL
page(s), provides the alert conditions. The amber color is not configurable for these
conditions.
CYAN: Page titles, prompts and inactive route and GLONASS related information. In reverse
video for certain status indications.
GREEN: Fixed data fields, field titles and waypoint names. In reverse video for temporary
states prompting crew attention. In reverse video for navigation and guidance actions
(e.g. missed approach initiation, manual waypoint sequence, hold exit initiation).
MAGENTA: Depending on configuration, used in normal video, or reverse video, to identify the
active TO waypoint on ACT RTE LEGS 1/X, and PROGRESS pages.
RED: Reserved for maintenance purposes only. Major change (e.g. confirmation of system
re-configuration).
WHITE: Computed (dynamic) data, data units, scratchpad data, data entry error, and
advisory/maintenance messages. Depending on configuration in reverse video for
active TO waypoint on ACT PROGRESS, and ACT RTE LEGS 1/X pages.
LARGE: Manual entries, and waypoint information from the navigation database.
MEDIUM: Computed or system generated data.
SMALL: Data field units.
ANNUNCIATORS:
The following are the possible annunciators which are avaialble for the different CMA-9000 H/W panel variations.
NOTE: That the physical location of these annunciators may vary depending on the specific panel (see front panel
figures provided earlier in this section for specific panel variation annunciator locations).
FAIL Annunciator - illuminates at maximum brightness with the display blank upon detection of a major CMA-
9000 FMS failure (e.g. CMA-9000 FMS system is halted).
MSG Annunciator - illuminates when a new alert message appears in the scratchpad. The annunciator stays
lit as long as the condition causing the alert message remains, or until the message is acknowledged by
pressing the CLR key, or until the message is viewed on the MESSAGE RECALL page. New alert messages
also cause the remote MSG annunciator to illuminate on the instrument panel in the pilot's field of view
(advisory messages do not). Any acknowledged alert message is available for recall on the MESSAGE
RECALL page as long as the condition causing it remains.
POS Annunciator - illuminates when the CMA-9000 FMS is in dead reckoning navigation mode.
RNP Annunciator - illuminates when the FMS ANP exceeds the RNP for the phase of flight.
OFST Annunciator - illuminates during offset (parallel track) navigation or CARP temporary position updates.
TX1 Annunciator - illuminates when the configured V/UHF unit #1 emits RF power (radio is transmitting).
TX2 Annunciator - Illuminates when the configured V/UHF unit #2 emits RF power (radio is transmitting).
ATC Annunciator - illuminates when a connection is established with an Air Traffic Control Center.
SMS Annunciator - illuminates when the Short Message Service text message has been received.
V/UHF Annunciator - illuminates when the VUHF radio reports to the FMS that it is transmitting.
HF Annunciator - illuminates when the HF radio reports to the FMS that it is transmitting.
SENSOR - Item 9:
9. LDR Sensor - detects ambient light conditions in order to perform auto-brightness control of display screen
and annunciators.
10. Line Select Keys (LSK) - There are twelve LSKs on the CMA-9000 FMS panel, six on either side of the
display. LSKs are identified by their location from top to bottom of the screen and as left or right, e.g. LSK 1L,
LSK 6R. Entry of data from the scratchpad into the selected field is accomplished by pressing the adjacent
LSK which moves the data from the scratchpad to the selected field. Data entries are permitted only on lines
adjacent to the LSKs. Data can also be duplicated from a data field into the scratchpad by pressing the LSK
adjacent to the desired data line. Inward pointing arrow symbols indicate that an option may be selected in
that field. Outward pointing arrow symbols indicate that a new page will be displayed when the adjacent LSK
is pressed, or that an action will be initiated.
11. EXEC Annunciator - illuminates when a modification to the active route is in process but has not been
executed. When the EXEC annunciator is lit, the impact of the data displayed on the LEGS page may be
reviewed on other CMA-9000 FMS pages, except the PROGRESS pages, and may be made active for
guidance of the aircraft by pressing the EXEC key.
12. EXEC Key - is used to accept modifications to the active route (flight plan) performed on the LEGS, RTE
(route), Departures/Arrivals, SAR, or HOLD pages or VNAV pages, or Tactical Approach pages.
Modifications to the active flight plan will turn on the EXEC annunciator and display in reverse video a MOD
status in the page title line and also an ERASE prompt. When data entries have been made active (by
pressing the EXEC key), the title MOD status will revert to ACT (active). Until the MOD status is made active,
the CMA-9000 FMS will continue to use the previous active data for navigation and guidance even though it is
not displayed. Any modification can be erased (cancelled) prior to EXECution by pressing the ERASE LSK.
13. BRT Key - controls the brightness of the screen and annunciators. After an elapsed time of 5 seconds, the
first press of this key will always increase brightness, each depression of the BRT key alternately brightens or
dims the display.
NOTE1: When night and NVG mode selected and short power interruption occurs, the brightness of the
display may require minor re-adjustments.
NOTE2: When external dimming control is selected in the configuration, the brightness of the screen and
annunciators can also be controlled by an external system providing a 0-5 VDC to the FMS.
14. MSG Key (VAR 030, 070, 470) - accesses the MESSAGE RECALL page for display of System Alert
messages.
FIX key (VAR 040, 060, 460) - provides access to FIX page for all fix and abeam waypoint functions.

MARK (VAR 290) - when pressed creates a Mark On Top waypoint with the CMA-9000 FMS present
position. It provides access to the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page where this waypoint is stored.
15. CLR Key - clears one character to the left during scratchpad data entry. When pressed and held for more
than 1 second, it clears the entire scratchpad. The CLR key also clears alert and advisory messages from
the scratchpad. The DELETE message can be cleared by a single press of the CLR key. Pressing the CLR
key with the scratchpad empty will display DELETE in the scratchpad. The delete process is completed by
pressing the LSK next to the data to be removed.
16. PROG Key - accesses the PROGRESS pages for display of current flight and navigation status information.
17. HOLD Key (all variations except 106/290/506) - if no holding pattern exists in the flight plan, brings LEGS
page in view with “/H” in the scratchpad for line selection of the desired holding fix waypoint. If a holding
pattern already exists in the flight plan, accesses the HOLD page for the definition of holding pattern
parameters at the designated waypoint or present position.
FIX key (VAR 290) - provides access to FIX page for all fix and abeam waypoint functions.
18. LEGS Key - displays LEGS pages containing detailed data concerning each leg of the flight plan.
19. DEP ARR Key - provides access to the DEP/ARR page for the selection of departure and arrival procedures
and runways.
20. TPDR Key (VAR 030/430) - provides access to the ATC radio control page. This page allows the pilot to
control the operation of the ATC Transponder.
ANS Key (VAR 001/101/301/501) - SMS annunciator active: displays the newest message of the short
message service on its dedicated page. GSM annunciator active: accepts the phone call when pressed the
first time, hangs up when pressed a second time. Priority is given to GSM.
FUEL Key (VAR 002, 003, 005, 102, 103, 106, 302, 303, 502, 503, 506) - Provides a quick access function
to Fuel estimation and status pages.
FMC COMM (VAR 045, 060, 445, 460) - provides access to FMS datalink related pages.
MSG Key (VAR 290) - accesses the MESSAGE RECALL page for display of System Alert messages.
ATC (VAR 070/470) - provides access to CPDLC/ATC related pages (if functionality configured).
21. RTE Key - provides access to the ROUTE page for the definition of routes.
ATC (VAR 060/460) - provides access to CPDLC/ATC related pages (if functionality configured).
23. INIT REF Key - provides access to pages and various reference data pages.
NOTE1 If the NEXT functionality is configured, the INIT/REF, RTE, DEP/ARR, LEGS, PROG, FREQ, FUEL
and HOLD keys allow the access to the following page.
NOTE2 If the key is pressed for more than 1 second, the MESSAGE RECALL page will be displayed.
25. Plus-Minus [+/-] Key - pressing the [+/-] will first display the "-" (minus) symbol. Pressing it a second time will
display the "+" (plus) symbol.
26. Slash (/) Key - separates data fields in scratchpad data entry.
27. Decimal (.) Key - provides decimal point for numeric data entries.
29. NEXT Key - when multiple-page displays are indicated in the page title line, pressing the NEXT key advances
the display to the next higher page number or to page 1 if presently on the last page.
30. PREV Key - when multiple-page displays are indicated in the page title line, pressing the PREV key backs up
the display to the previous page or to the last page if presently on page 1.
31. MENU Key - Provides access to the MCDU MENU 1/2 page that allows access to other subsystems
connected to the MCDU (e.g. CMU, IFDMU, SATCOM, onside and cross-side FMS).
32. MENU Annunciator - Illuminates when a sub-system, other than the one the MCDU is currently connected to,
is requesting the crew attention.
For example, if any of the installed subsystems that uses the ARINC 739 MCDU as control head (e.g. CMU,
IFDMU, SATCOM) is requesting crew attention while the MCDU is connected to the FMS, the MENU light will
be turned on. Converselly, if the MCDU is connected to any of the above mentioned sub-systems and the
FMS is requesting attention, the MENU annunciator will also be turned on.
The FMS requests attention (e.g. MENU light on) when the MCDU is logged on a subsystem different from
the FMS and the FMS generated a new alert or maintenance message.
33. SQK_IDT key (VAR 001/101/301/501) - Provides a quick access function to Squawk ident of the active
ATC transponder.
MARK Key (all variations except 290) - when pressed creates a Mark On Top waypoint with the CMA-9000
FMS present position. It provides access to the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page where this waypoint is stored (if CFG
KEY 2 is configured to MARK).
VNAV (VAR 040, 050, 060, 070, 460, 470) - provides access to the vertical navigation functions.
HOLD Key (VAR 290) - if no holding pattern exists in the flight plan, brings LEGS page in view with “/H” in the
scratchpad for line selection of the desired holding fix waypoint. If a holding pattern already exists in the flight
plan, accesses the HOLD page for the definition of holding pattern parameters at the designated waypoint or
present position.
NOTE: Items 16 to 19 and 20 to 23 may be configured to function as a NEXT key allowing the crew to scroll
through the similar pages. For example, if this configuration option is selected, pressing PROG twice will
provide access to the second PROGRESS page (e.g. PROGRESS 2/X page).
The operating procedures detailed in the following sections are governed by a general set of rules for CMA-
9000 FMS operation. Familiarity with these rules will greatly simplify the process of learning system operation.
A typical screen page is illustrated below as an aid in describing the various page layouts, page prompts, and
data entry rules.
PAGE
NUMBER
AND
ACT,MOD STATUS PAGE TITLE
NUMBER OF
FIELD [CYAN] [CYAN]
PAGES
[LARGE] [LARGE]
[CYAN]
[LARGE]
Page Title - the name of the page is shown on the top line of the display.
Page Number - when a display consists of several pages (as indicated in the upper right of the page), the
additional pages may be displayed by pressing the NEXT or PREV keys. When the NEXT key configuration
option is selected, the Front-panel Function Keys (FFKs) (elements 14 to 23 on Figure 2-1) can be used as a
NEXT key as well.
Page Prompt - the LSK adjacent to a page prompt will display the associated screen page.
Scratchpad - the scratchpad is located on the bottom (14th) line of the display. Keyboard entries are displayed
in the scratchpad and then moved to the data field by pressing the appropriate Line Select Key (LSK). Error
checking for invalid format or data type, or out of range values, is performed when the LSK is pressed. Copying
data from a data field into the scratchpad is accomplished by pressing the appropriate LSK when the scratchpad
is empty. Data in the scratchpad remains there when a new page is selected, and can thus be carried over for
entry into other pages.
Messages - the System Alert messages can either be displayed in the scratchpad and placed on the “Message
Recall” list, or placed only on the “Message Recall” list depending on the system configuration. REFER TO
APPENDIX E OF THIS MANUAL FOR THE LIST OF MESSAGES.
ALERT MESSAGES
A. Sytem Alert
B. Maintenance Alert
• Indicates a particular CMA-9000 FMS failure condition.
• Displayed in amber on the MAINT MESSAGES page.
• Never displayed on the scratchpad.
• Have priority over Maintenance Advisory messages.
ADVISORY MESSAGES
A. Maintenance Advisory
• Displayed in white on the MAINT MESSAGES page.
• Displayed on the scratchpad unless an associated collector message exists and is active (until
acknowledged).
B. Status Advisory
• Do not require immediate pilot action but indicate a particular equipment failure condition.
• Displayed in white on the MAINT MESSAGES page and on the scratchpad.
• Lowest priority scratchpad messages (can be typed over and overwritten by any other message type).
• Data entered into the scratchpad by pressing an LSK, or via the keyboard, takes priority over
maintenance advisory messages.
C. Data Entry
• Entry error advisory messages are identified in the scratchpad by a leading "!".
Both the MESSAGE RECALL page and the MAINT MESSAGES page can be accessed via the [INIT REF] key,
via the MSG key or by pressing and holding the[ INIT REF] key for more than 1 second.
When more than one new alert message occurs, the CMA-9000 FMS MSG annunciator will stay illuminated until
all the messages have been viewed in turn by pressing the [CLR] key which deletes the current message and
displays the next one. Alert messages are prioritized with the highest displayed first.
Messages may also be cleared from the scratchpad by viewing them on the MESSAGE RECALL page or
MAINT MESSAGES page. Some messages are cleared automatically when the condition causing the message
was corrected or is no longer appropriate.
ERASE Prompt [LSK 6L] - Whenever a modification to the active flight plan is in progress, the ERASE prompt
appears. Pressing the ERASE prompt LSK erases all modifications and restores the display of the active flight
plan.
Dash Data Fields - a dash data field (-----) implies an optional data entry.
Box Data Fields - a box data field ( ) implies a mandatory data entry.
ACT, MOD Status - leg modifications to the active flight plan will display the MOD status (in reverse video)
ahead of the page title. Upon execution of modifications (by pressing the EXEC key) the MOD status will return
to ACT status in normal video.
Slash Rule [/] - the slash key " / " is used to separate two items of data entered in the same data field (such as
wind direction and speed).
If a single entry is made without being preceeded or followed by a slash, it will be entered into the data area
closest to the LSK (e.g., into the first area for a left side LSK, and into the second area for a right side LSK).
Otherwise, to force a single data item to be entered into the correct area of the field, it must be preceeded or
followed by a slash as appropriate.
Blank Fields - a blank field " " on certain pages implies that the data has not yet been computed.
Asterisk Fields - an asterisk field " **** " on certain pages implies that the data exceeds the maximum value for
that field, or that the information is not received by the external equipment.
Leading Zeros - leading zeros are only required during data entry for: 1. Angular data (bearing, course,
wind direction, etc.)
2. Latitude/longitude coordinates
3. Runway identifiers
Cancellation of Slash Symbol Waypoint Legends (/H, /O, /S) - any procedure attached to a waypoint and
identified by a legend consisting of the slash symbol followed by a single letter, such as a holding pattern (/H), or
a waypoint converted to fly-over (/O), or a search pattern (/S) can be cancelled by using the slash key alone
without a letter and the appropriate LSK. In the case of a holding pattern or search pattern, this should be
performed prior to the waypoint becoming the active waypoint.
Terminal Area Waypoints - where specific identifiers have not been assigned, the following two-character
prefix codes are added to the runway identifier (number) to create terminal area and approach-related waypoints
in the navigation database:
Unnamed Turnpoints and Intersections - where no name has been assigned to a turnpoint or intersection,
the waypoint name in the navigation database is created by adding the distance of the point from the nearest
applicable navigation facility to the facility identifier, e.g. SEA77.
DME ARC Waypoints - the waypoint name in the navigation database is created by adding the radial from the
DME station in degrees followed by the radius of the arc in nautical miles (represented by a letter: A = 1 nm, B =
2 nm, J = 10 nm, etc) to the prefix D, e.g. D173J.
Conditional Waypoints - a conditional waypoint is used in the navigation database when a route leg does not
terminate at a defined latitude and longitude. Such legs include radar vectors, intercepts, and course or heading
legs, or a leg with a manual or an altitude termination. Conditional waypoint names are displayed in
parentheses as shown below. Conditional waypoints cannot be used for direct-to navigation, nor as references
for temporary waypoint creation, and cannot be copied into the scratchpad.
(3000) - Leg terminates at the altitude shown. When a conditional altitude waypoint is active and where
a suitable altitude input is not available, a NEXT WPT prompt is displayed at LSK 6R of
PROGRESS 1/4 page, and a MANUAL WPT SEQUENCE alert message is displayed.
Operator action is required to sequence to the next waypoint.
(VECT) - Leg is a radar vector. As described above, operator action is required to sequence to the next
waypoint.
Course Legends - courses may be displayed with the following legends depending on the leg type, as listed
below:
HOLD AT - Replaces the TO WPT course on RTE LEGS 1/X and PROGRESS 1/4 pages when navigating a
holding pattern
P-T - Appended to the courses of the outbound legs of the procedure turn
Course Prefixes - the required turn direction (L or R) is added as a prefix to the displayed course, and is most
commonly used at the inbound turn of a procedure turn and in missed approaches.

FMS OPERATION
5L >SYNCHRONIZED 5R
The default angular reference of all NAVIGATION DISPLAYS (heading, course, actual track, and bearing) is
MAGNETIC NORTH (degree symbol), and that of WIND DIRECTION is TRUE NORTH (T symbol).
If configured, and the cockpit true/mag switch is not installed, change the navigation reference DISPLAY to
TRUE or MAGNETIC by pressing LSK 1L. In some installations, the display reference of the navigation angles
can only be controlled by a true/mag cockpit switch. In this case the MAG/TRUE DISPLAY prompt (at LSK 1L) is
removed from the SETUP page.
Upon entering the polar region (latitude above N73 or below S60), the angular reference automatically reverts to
true north and the reference toggling is inhibited.
If the angular reference was magnetic previous to entering the polar region, an advisory scratchpad message is
displayed to inform the crew of the change from magnetic to true north.
Upon the airplane leaving the polar region, the system behaviour depends upon the aircraft installation.
If the true/mag cockpit switch is not installed, the angular reference display is maintained to True and the
True/Mag toggling capability is restored. An advisory scratchpad message prompts the crew to check the angular
reference.
If the true/mag cockpit switch is installed, the FMS uses the switch to determine the angular display reference. If
the switch was set to Mag previous to entering the Polar region, the FMS automatically reverts the reference to
MAG and displays an advisory message to indicate the true to magnetic reversion.
If UTC time is selected enter the local time offset from the UTC time by pressing LSK 2R. (Validity checking
ensures entry is between +/-12.0 hours and steps are 0.5 hours).
Press <COORD> (LSK 3L) and select coordinates. Possible values are LAT_LONG, UTM, MGRS and
SWISS_GRID.
Only one coordinate system is active for both entry and display of positional information at any given time.
Swiss Grid position is defined as Northing and Easting coordinates up to 999 km, locating a position to within 10

INITIAL LEG
Following the waypoint of a route, navigation and guidance is computed initially for the leg from present position
direct to the first waypoint. On takeoff, the CMA-9000 FMS automatically re-computes a Direct-To to the first
waypoint.
If a runway and SID are selected and the first leg is not a Direct-To leg, navigation and guidance is computed
initially from the runway threshold to the first waypoint. On take-off, the CMA-9000 FMS automatically re-
computes the initial leg using the present position as the start of the leg.
To navigate a different first leg, follow any of the route modification procedures described in Section 5.
During any procedure which involves a modification to the active route, an ERASE prompt is displayed at
LSK 6L. Prior to EXECuting the procedure, it can be cancelled and all route modifications deleted by pressing

If the FUEL+WEIGHTS option is configured for the FUEL pages, the CMA-9000 FMS provides on the RTE x
FUEL 2/2 page several fields used by the operator to enter the empty weight, optional equipment weight, crew
weight, cargo weight and total fuel weight including reserve. These values are used by the CMA-9000 FMS to
calculate the initial Gross-Weight (GWT) estimate, displayed on the RTE x FUEL 1/2 page. Once the initial GWT
is accepted by the CMA-9000 FMS, the Gross Weight will be continuously estimated by subtracting the fuel
consumption based on the average fuel flow. The display of the GWT units will match the display of the fuel flow
units that is, if the fuel flow is displayed in Kg/Hr or Lb/Hr, then the GWT will also be displayed in Kg or Lb
respectively.
CAUTION: The unit selection on the FUEL 1/2 and FUEL 2/2 pages has to be consistent with other fuel indicators

After confirming change to independent mode, the alert scratchpad message “FMS INDEPENDENT OP” is
displayed by all CMA-9000 FMSs.
NOTE: Selection from independent to synchronized mode is prevented with the display of the alert message
“UNABLE FMS-FMS SYNC” when:
• communication between the CMA-9000 FMSs has been lost,
• on-side CMA-9000 FMS is in a holding pattern,
• on-side CMA-9000 FMS is in a GPS approach,
• any CMA-9000 FMS in a missed approach procedure,
• a conflicting operational s/w part number,
• one CMA-9000 FMS has a different active navigation database,
• user databases are different.
• Tactical approach databases are different.
NOTE: On synchronization, the flight plan is transferred from the CMA-9000 FMS where the synchronization
was done to the other CMA-9000 FMSs overriding any existing flight plan.
SYNCHRONIZED OPERATIONS
NOTE: To operate correctly in the synchronized mode the CMA-9000 FMSs must contain the same databases.
Furthermore the active database must be the same in all CMA-9000 FMSs.
In the synchronized mode of operation, the following items are automatically synchronized between all CMA-
9000 FMSs:
Only one CMA-9000 FMS can change an active flight plan at any time. If one CMA-9000 FMS is already in
MOD status (route modifications in progress), any attempt to change the flight plan of another CMA-9000 FMS
will bring in view the “ !CDU ENTRY CONFLICT” message in the scratchpad.
In synchronized mode, both CMA-9000 FMS will use the best system sensor for navigation and guidance
computations (unless deselected on the DESELECT 1/1 page). Therefore, CMA-9000 FMS present position,
track and ground speed are synchronized.
NOTE: In a civil configuration with multiple FMSs, a hysteresis of 100 meters applies when switching from a
sensor to another identical sensor but from a different FMS. This is illustrated by the following
example: if FMS1 and FMS2 are both in GPS navigation mode (with each FMS receiving its own
onside GPS position) and the overall FMS system position is that of GPS1, the FMS system position
will not switch to become that of GPS2 until GPS2’s position is at least 100 meters better than the
current system position (e.g. GPS1’s position).
In synchronized mode of operation, the GPS integrity annunciator will illuminate only if the GPS integrity
is lost on all GPS sensors.
When synchronized, an CMA-9000 FMS will change to independent mode if its Phase of Flight is
different from the other CMA-9000 FMS(s) for more than 30 seconds.
INDEPENDENT OPERATION
In the independent mode of operation, all entries made on either CMA-9000 FMS are not reflected on the other
CMA-9000 FMS. However, the active or inactive flight plan can still be copied from one CMA-9000 FMS to the
other via the RTE XFILL prompt (LSK 4L) on the RTE 1/1 page. If the navigation database or the operational
program is not the same on all CMA-9000 FMSs when a flight plan transfer is attempted, the alert message
“UNABLE FMS-FMS SYNC” is displayed on the scratchpad line. When the flight plan transfer is completed, the
copied flight plan appears as a modification on the other CMA-9000 FMS. The modified route becomes active
by pressing [EXEC].
During independent operation and if the navigation mode is GPS, the alert message GPS-GPS POS
DISAGREE is displayed in the scratchpad if the CMA-9000 FMS position is significantly different than that of the
other CMA-9000 FMS.
NOTE: Due to slight variations in the position computation made by each CMA-9000 FMS, leg sequencing may
not occur at exactly the same time on all CMA-9000 FMSs while in independent operation.
The radio tuning feature does not use CMA-9000 FMS cross talk to establish synchronization. It uses burst
tuning and the radios’ feedback to establish synchronization. Its operation will not be affected by the selection of
synchronized or independent mode of operation.
In a DUAL FMS architecture, when the standby frequency is entered, it is cross talked to the cross-side FMS
(both FMS always display the same standby frequency of the same radio).

INTRODUCTION
The complete departure procedure, including Standard Instrument Departure (SID) and SID transition, can be
loaded into the route at the same time or in segments, depending on the ATC clearance received. The
segments are selected from lists of named procedures extracted from the navigation database for the specified
origin airport.
When a SID is selected, the waypoints and procedural legs are extracted from the navigation database,
procedural leg types are decoded, and all resulting waypoints are inserted into the route in the correct order.
SID transitions are appended to the route after the SID and are usually separated from it by a route
discontinuity, unless the last waypoint of the SID and the first waypoint of the en-route portion of the route are
identical. Figure 4-1 shows a typical SID and SID transition.
The SID transition is linked to the appropriate waypoint of the en-route portion, and enroute waypoints preceding
the intersecting waypoints are deleted. If there is no SID transition, the SID is separated from the en-route
portion by a route discontinuity. For certain types of SID and transition, the waypoints may not be loaded into
the route until the runway is selected.
ATC clearances which modify the selected SID procedures can be incorporated by selection of the new
procedure while the aircraft still on ground. This results in the automatic deletion of the waypoints associated
with the cancelled procedure.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
NOTE: When stringing a SID procedure to an Enroute Transition or Enroute segment at their common
waypoint, if speed and/or altitude constraints exist for this waypoint in both procedures, the
constraint(s) from the SID procedure are retained.
The SID altitude/airspeed constraint(s) will probably be lower/slower than the Enroute Transition or
Enroute constraints.
CAUTION: During Standard Instrument Departures, the CMA-9000 FMS does not support the low speed flight
regime of aircraft in which the bank angle is limited by the autopilot to 15 degrees as a function of
airspeed and aircraft flap/slat configuration. Where required by the magnitude of the track angle
change, the CMA-9000 FMS will use up to a maximum of 30 degree bank angle in computing the roll
steering command to the autopilot. Crews should therefore exercise caution when engaging LNAV in
this flight regime and may wish to use the heading select mode until sufficient airspeed is allowing
bank angles larger than 15 degrees. No difficulties are anticipated for engaging LNAV when track
angle changes are less than 15 degrees.
The CMA-9000 FMS allows the insertion of a SID procedure in flight providing the CMA-9000 FMS is configured
as a ROTOR-type aircraft.
The CMA-9000 FMS allows the activation in flight of an inactive route containing a SID, subject to the
specification of the inactive runway.
The CMA-9000 FMS prefixes an inactive SID sequence with the corresponding inactive runway waypoint on
activation in flight.
The CMA-9000 FMS allows navigation database, custom database, user database and digital map (DMAP)
waypoints as origin and destination airports if it is configured for a ROTOR-type aircraft.
This section provides an overview of the process of selecting the SID and SID transition procedures. The intent
of each step is summarized on the next page.
4. MOD, ACT LEGS - Confirm the SID, SID transition and/or runway procedure agrees with the clearance,
then execute the modified route.
5. ALTIMETER SETTING- If CMA-9000 FMS does not have access to baro-corrected altitude, enter QNH on
PROGRESS 3/3 or 4/4 page, to convert pressure altitude to baro-corrected altitude for altitude terminated
legs.
This procedure is based on the SID and SID transition depicted in Figure 4-1 and assumes that only these
portions of the departure are to be loaded at this time.
NOTE: If the CMA-9000 FMS is configured for two routes (RTE 1 and RTE 2), the origin and destination of
the inactive route are also displayed. The active route information is displayed in white text. The
inactive route origin and destination airport codes are displayed in cyan.

5. Display the first SID leg by pressing LEGS and PREV or NEXT as required.
NOTE: For certain types of SID and SID transition, the selection of the runway may also be required before the
SID waypoints are loaded into the route from the navigation database. The message “!SELECT
TRANS/RUNWAY” is then displayed in the scratchpad.
7. Verify the course, distance, altitude/speed advisory, and procedural leg type information of each SID leg in
turn by pressing NEXT as required to display all legs.
NOTE: Pressing ERASE (LSK 6L) at any time during this procedure will cause all selections made up to that
time to be deleted.
8. Make the selected SID and SID transition active by pressing EXEC.
The message “SET QNH” will be displayed in the scratchpad if the CMA-9000 FMS is not receiving Baro-
corrected altitude. (See ALTIMETER SETTING procedure in this section). This message is installation
dependent and will not be displayed if deconfigured.
On DEPARTURES page, the active SID and SID transition are now shown with the legend "<ACT>" beside
the name(s).
ALTIMETER SETTING
Baro-corrected altitude is required to ensure proper sequencing of attitude-terminated legs. If the aircraft
installation provides only a pressure altitude input to the CMA-9000 FMS, manual entry of the altimeter
correction is necessary to convert this input to baro-corrected altitude. Refer to the approved AFMS/RFMS for
further details.
Display the PROGRESS 3/3 or 4/4 page by pressing PROG and PREV.
PROGRESS 3/3 or 4/4 page includes the altitude, QNH altimeter setting and QNH altimeter reference.

To enter an altimeter setting, enter value in Inches of Mercury (inHg) or in Millibars (MB) and line select it to
LSK 6L respectively on PROGRESS 3/3 page or on PROGRESS 4/4 page.
When the installation provides for pressure altitude and for hybrid INS/GPS altitude, PROGRESS 4/4 page
fields LSK 6L or 6R display the calculated mean sea level QNH for reference.
NOTE: The CMA-9000 FMS will select and use the altitude from the priority list below:
• baro corrected altitude
• pressure altitude
• IRS baro-inertial altitude
• GPS altitude*
• EGI hybrid inertial altitude.
*For installation including GPS and EGI, the CMA-9000 FMS will select the altitude from the GPS used for
navigation (civil or military from EGI).
For entries, units are automatically detected and decimal point entry is not required.
NOTE: This altimeter setting will be used until after landing, or until leaving the terminal area. The altimeter
setting is cancelled and the field displays dashes ("--.--") on leaving the terminal area (distance from
the departure airport is greater than 33 nm, or the altitude is greater than 16,000 feet above airport
elevation).
When no altimeter setting is defined, field displays boxes ( . ) on entering the terminal area
(distance from the destination airport is less than 30 nm, or the altitude is less than 15,000 feet above
airport elevation). This indicates a mandatory input is required.
A baro-corrected altitude is computed and displayed next to LSK 5L (PROGRESS 3/3) or (PROGRESS 4/4).

Reference (QNH REF).
Detailed descriptions of each display page are contained in Appendix A. Sections 6 and 7 describe arrival and
approach procedures. Direct-to and holding pattern procedures are contained in Sections 9 and 10
respectively.
On leaving the terminal area, when the radial distance from the departure airport becomes greater than 33 nm
or the aircraft climbs above 16,000 feet above airport elevation, the CMA-9000 changes from terminal to en-
route phase of flight, with the following indications:
1. HSI lateral deviation sensitivity changes from 1 nm to 5 nm full scale over a ten (10) second period.
2. On the PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 page the RNP value changes from 1 nm to 2 nm.
NOTE: The FMS will generate the SET QNH message when at a distance greater than 33 nm from the origin
airport or crosses through the transition altitude (TRANS ALT) and either of the following condition
exist:
a) An installed cockpit baro/standard altimeter reference selector is set to “baro” reference, or,
b) The FMS receives a QNH input that indicates a non-standard altimeter setting.
Display the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page by pressing the [LEGS] functional key.
The active leg to the TO waypoint and the next four legs are displayed. The distance to the TO waypoint is the
distance-to-go from the present position; for subsequent legs it is the leg length.
NOTE: Depending on the configuration, the identifier of the TO waypoint is displayed in reverse video, magenta
or white.
NOTE: The maximum number of waypoints in a flight plan allowed by the system is 199 (e.g. maximum of 40
LEGS page can be used).
The legs of the inactive route (if RTE2 option is configured) can also be viewed in the RTE x LEGS 1/X page by
pressing the <RTE x LEGS> prompt (LSK 6L) on the ACT RTE x LEGS page.
NOTE: The pages related to the inactive route are displayed in cyan.
INSERTING WAYPOINTS
A. PLACE/BEARING/DISTANCE WAYPOINTS
With the desired reference waypoint identifier in the scratchpad by keyboard entry or LSK action:
1. Key the bearing and distance separated by a slash (/), into the scratchpad. e.g.: YZP320/45.
2. Display the desired insert location in the route by pressing [LEGS], and [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
Move the waypoint to the desired place in the route by pressing the appropriate LSK.
The new waypoint is inserted ahead of the existing waypoint. The new waypoint identifier is created with a
name based on the first three characters of the reference waypoint identifier followed by a sequence number,
e.g.: YZP01.
3. Verify the waypoint entry by checking the course and distance of the previous and next legs.
NOTE: The system allows for a maximum of 99 temporary waypoints in a flight plan.
B. PLACE/BEARING-PLACE/BEARING WAYPOINTS
1. Key into the scratchpad the bearing of the waypoint from the first reference waypoint followed by a slash
(/) and the second reference waypoint and bearing e.g. CAFTA268/YZP148.
2. Display the desired insert location in the route by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
3. Move the waypoint to the desired place in the route by pressing the appropriate LSK.
The new waypoint is inserted ahead of the existing waypoint. The new waypoint identifier is created based on
the identifier of the first reference waypoint as described in the previous procedure, e.g. CAF01.
4. Verify the waypoint entry by checking the course and distance of the previous and next legs.
NOTE: The system allows for a maximum of 99 temporary waypoints in a flight plan.
C. ALONG-TRACK WAYPOINTS
An along-track waypoint lies on the inbound (outbound) course to (from) the reference waypoint at the
selected distance. No course change occurs at the along-track waypoint.
1. To enter a new waypoint AFTER the reference waypoint, key in /, and distance, e.g. KILLA/20.
or:
2. To enter a new waypoint BEFORE the reference waypoint, key in /, [+/-], distance, e.g. KILLA/-20.
or:
3. To move an initial DME ARC fix along the arc, key in /, desired radial from the DME station, e.g.
D173J/203.
then:
4. Display the reference waypoint location in the route by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] or [PREV] as
required.
5. Move the waypoint to the reference waypoint in the route by pressing the appropriate LSK.
NOTE: All along-track waypoints must be inserted at the reference waypoint location, independently of their
actual relative position relative to that waypoint.
6. Verify the waypoint entry by checking the course and distance of the previous and next legs.
NOTE: If the leg created by the along-track waypoint overlaps an adjacent waypoint, such that a course
reversal is created, the along-track waypoint is not accepted and the data entry error message "!OUT
OF RANGE" is displayed.
D. LATITUDE/LONGITUDE WAYPOINTS
1. Key the coordinates into the scratchpad (LATITUDE, LONGITUDE) e.g. N60W146.
NOTE: Coordinates must be entered with whole degrees and optionally whole minutes with a resolution of up to
0.01 minutes.
2. Display the desired insert location in the route by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
3. Move the waypoint to the desired place in route by pressing the appropriate LSK.
4. Verify the waypoint entry by checking course and distance of the previous and next legs.
The waypoint name is automatically named "WPT" followed by a sequence number (e.g. WPT01).
Alternatively, the waypoint name can be automatically named using the latitude and longitude degree
components (e.g. N60W120). This option is selectable through configuration pages.
2. Display the desired insert location in the route by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
3. Move the waypoint to the desired place in the route by pressing the appropriate LSK.
If the identifier is not found in the navigation database, the message "!NOT IN DATABASE" will be displayed in
the scratchpad.
4. Verify the waypoint entry by checking course and distance of the previous and next legs.
A Radial-To segment is first defined in the RADIAL-TO page accessed in one of the following ways:
• by pressing [INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL> (LSK 6R), entering the waypoint ident in the REF ID
field at LSK 1L and then pressing <RADIAL-TO> (LSK 4R);
• by typing /R in the scratchpad and pressing the LSK corresponding to the waypoint on which the operator
wants to define a Radial-To procedure.
NOTE: A"RADIAL-TO" can also be inserted in the inactive route by pressing [INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or
<TACTICAL> (LSK 6R), [NEXT] (for the INACT DES+SAR or TACTICAL 2/2), entering the waypoint
ident in the REF ID field at LSK 1L and <RADIAL-TO> (LSK 4R).
4L 4R
5L 5R
6L <NEW RADIAL-TO 6R
1. Enter the parameters defining a Radial-To procedure: waypoint identifier, inbound course (radial) and
distance.
2. Access the ACT RTE x LEGS or RTE x LEGS page(s) by pressing NEW RADIAL-TO at LSK 6L. The
corresponding RTE x LEGS page(s) is accessed with the Radial-To information in the scratchpad.
Press the LSK (1L, 2L, 3L, 4L or 5L) where the segment is to be inserted.
NOTES:
a) If the reference point is not part of the selected route, then the segment is inserted between the waypoint
corresponding to the LSK pressed and the following waypoint.
b) If the reference waypoint belongs to the route, the route is modified as follows:
1- The insertion waypoint is two places ahead. The Radial-To segment replaces the segment between the
insertion waypoint and the next.
2- The insertion waypoint is one waypoint ahead of the reference waypoint. Radial-To segment replaces the
segment between the insertion and the reference waypoints.
3- The insertion waypoint is the reference waypoint. The following segments replace the segment between
the preceding and the reference segment. The segment created between the preceding and the Radial-To
entry waypoints is followed by the Radial-To segment.
4- The insertion waypoint follows the reference waypoint. This is an abnormal situation, where the Radial-To
flight path is flown back and forth at the reference waypoint. A discontinuity is created at the next waypoint.
5- The insertion waypoint is more than one waypoint passed the reference waypoint. The Radial-To segment
is introduced as described for a reference waypoint that does not belong to the route. However the route
will be comprised of a closed loop section.
ROUTE DISCONTINUITIES
Under normal conditions, the active route will form a continuous path of linked waypoints (legs). However, a
ROUTE DISCONTINUITY will be inserted into the flight plan if the end of a leg is indeterminate, or when the
entered waypoint is not part of the existing active flight plan.
Under these conditions, “THEN” followed by a boxed data field and ROUTE DISCONTINUITY lines are inserted
immediately after the new waypoint. Along-track waypoints do not create a ROUTE DISCONTINUITY.
A ROUTE DISCONTINUITY can be inserted into the flight plan by selecting RTE DISCON (LSK 1R) on the the
DES+SAR or TACTICAL 1/2 or INACT DES+SAR or TACTICAL 2/2 page. The active or inactive RTE x LEGS
page will be displayed with " " in the scratchpad. Insert the " " into the flight plan by pressing the
appropriate left LSK. The ROUTE DISCONTINUITY will be inserted before the selected waypoint.
CAUTION: Close-ups can occur only upwards, e.g. moving a downtrack waypoint to an earlier location. Moving a
waypoint downwards (e.g. to a later location) causes the waypoint to be DUPLICATED into the new
location.
With ACT (or MOD) LEGS page displayed showing "THEN" and "ROUTE DISCONTINUITY" lines:
1. Display the next desired waypoint in the route by pressing [NEXT] as required.
2 Key in, or copy the waypoint identifier into the scratchpad by pressing the appropriate LSK.
3. Display the page with the THEN box data field by pressing [PREV] as often as required.
4. Move the waypoint to the THEN field by pressing the appropriate LSK.
5. Verify the entry by checking course and distance of the previous and next legs.
NOTE: To minimize keystrokes, the close-up of a route discontinuity should be performed before EXECuting
the route modification which causes it.
WAYPOINT DELETION
A. BY CLOSE-UP METHOD
1. Display the waypoint to be deleted by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
2. Copy the waypoint identifier following the one to be deleted into the scratchpad by pressing the
appropriate LSK.
3. Move the waypoint to the location of the waypoint to be deleted by pressing the appropriate LSK.
4. Verify the entry by checking the course and distance of the previous and next legs.
"Close up" is the simplest method to delete a number of consecutive waypoints, but this can also be performed
by a series of [CLR] key operations.
B. BY CLEAR KEY
2. Display the desired waypoint by pressing [LEGS], and [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
A "ROUTE DISCONTINUITY" is inserted in place of the deleted waypoint. Any holding pattern or search
pattern associated with the deleted waypoint will also be deleted.
4. Verify the entry by checking course and distance of the previous and next legs.
Waypoints are loaded into the route as fly-by (with turn anticipation) or fly-over (no turn anticipation) as coded in
the navigation database. By default, all waypoints, including manually-entered temporary waypoints, are initially
defined as fly-by unless specifically coded as fly-over. Any waypoint can be converted from one type to the
other, with the exception that the missed approach waypoint is always defined as a fly-over waypoint and cannot
be modified.
1. Display the DES+SAR or TACTICAL 1/2 page, and select "FLY-OVER" by pressing [INIT REF],
<DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL> (LSK 6R) and <FLY OVER> (LSK 6L).
The ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page is displayed with "/O" in the scratchpad.
NOTE: A"FLY-OVER" can also be inserted in the inactive route by pressing [INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or
<TACTICAL> (LSK 6R), [NEXT] (for the INACT DES+SAR or TACTICAL 2/2) and <FLY-OVER>
(LSK 6L).
The inactive RTE y LEGS 1/X page is displayed with "/O" in the scratchpad.
or:
Key in "/O".
2. Display the desired waypoint by pressing [LEGS], and [PREV] or [NEXT] as required (on the active or
inactive route).
3. Move the "/O" to the waypoint location by pressing the appropriate left hand LSK.
The waypoint is now defined as a fly-over waypoint and turn anticipation is inhibited for that waypoint only.
The switch to the next leg will occur automatically on crossing over or abeam the waypoint.
CAUTION: Special care should be taken if any fly-over waypoint extracted from the navigation database is
converted to fly-by (particularly the final approach fix and missed approach holding fix). The crew will
remain responsible at all times for remaining within protected airspace, and for compliance with all

1. Display the desired waypoint by pressing [LEGS] and [PREV] or [NEXT] as required.
2. Key in “/”, and move the “/" to the waypoint location by pressing the appropriate left hand LSK.
The waypoint is now defined as a fly-by waypoint and turn anticipation will occur at the appropriate
distance prior to reaching that waypoint.
NOTE: The missed approach waypoint is always defined as a fly-over waypoint, and cannot be converted to
fly-by. Any holding pattern or search pattern defined at a waypoint is cancelled if that waypoint is
converted to a fly-over waypoint.
LEG SEQUENCING
A. FLY-BY WAYPOINTS
The CMA-9000 FMS sequences fly-by waypoints when crossing the bisector of the active leg and next leg,
or when passing the wayline of the active leg, whichever occurs first. In certain exceptional cases where the
next leg is short, sequencing may occur based on crossing the wayline of the next leg, if that is the first
situation to occur. If the aircraft is performing a downwind approach to a runway, sequencing of the FAF will
only be possible after the aircraft has turned towards the runway.
During the first half of the fly-by leg transition, between the initial turn point and the leg switching point
(bisector), the active waypoint is displayed in white reverse video on the LEGS and PROGRESS pages.
Also, during that period, the waypoint alert information sent to the EFIS will remain on to indicate the
transition (except for Rockwell Collins 3 EFIS, where no waypoint alert is generated during this segment).
This highlights the fact that the HSI is displaying guidance information relative to the next leg whereas the
current active leg has not been sequenced yet. The white waypoint annunciation is an option configurable
(ON/OFF) in the CMA-9000 FMS maintenance pages.
B. FLY-OVER WAYPOINTS
The CMA-9000 FMS sequences fly-over waypoints when passing the wayline of the active leg.

value for each arrival time is displayed.
NOTES:
1. A HIL prediction can be initiated at any time and for any waypoint stored in the system whether or not it is part
of the active route. If the identifier is that of an airport, and an approach has been selected, the integrity
computation is based on the missed approach waypoint, otherwise the airport reference location is used. If the
waypoint is not part of the route, the ETA must also be entered.
If the predictive RAIM function indicates that GPS instrument approach integrity will not be available at
the ETA, the operator should modify the ETA (new ETA attainable by flying at a different speed or making
a flight plan change), conduct the approach with other approved equipment, or discontinue IFR
operations.

When the operator enters a unique waypoint identifier in the flight plan (active or inactive) via the FMS keypad
or via the FMS line select key from any page except the RTE x LEGS page(s) or the "PROGRESS" page(s) or
the "RTE x" page(s), the waypoint is inserted in the flight plan followed by a discontinuity.
When the operator inserts a waypoint copied using the FMS line select key on the "RTE x LEGS" page or the
"PROGRESS" page or the "RTE x" page in the flight plan (active or inactive), a close up to that particular
waypoint will be done (if the waypoint is inserted before its current position in the flight plan) or the waypoint will
be inserted in the flight plan followed by a discontinuity (if the waypoint is inserted after its current position in the
flight plan).
If the operator inserts in the active route (inactive route) a waypoint copied from any inactive route (active route)
page then the behavior will be the same as when entering an identifier using the FMS keypad.
NOTE: The flight plan can contain waypoints with the same identifier but with different coordinates (a frequent
case being user waypoints named by the operator with an identifier already existing in the navigation
database).
The custom database (usually built using a navigation database) should not contain duplicate waypoints
compared with the navigation database.
If duplicate waypoints exist then the custom database occurrence will not be shown on the SELECT
WPT page.
RNP MODIFICATION

The entered RNP value is displayed in LARGE font. If the entered RNP value exceeds the default RNP for
the phase of flight then the alert message "VERIFY RNP VALUE" will be displayed in the scratchpad.
2. To revert to the default RNP for the phase of flight, press [CLR] then LSK 5L.
The default value for the phase of flight (Enroute=2.0; Terminal=1.0; Approach=0.3) is displayed in the RNP
field in medium font.
ROUTE 2 OPTION
When configured with RTE 2 option, two independent routes (RTE 1 and RTE 2) may reside in the CMA-9000
FMS at the same time. The CMA-9000 FMS allows activation of one route as the active flight plan. The other
flight plan is stored as the inactive route. The default route at power-up, with both routes empty, is RTE 1.
The inactive route may be manually created or selected from the stored custom routes. It may also be copied
from the active route. The procedures to create, select, and/or edit the inactive route are identical to those of
the active route.
When configuring the NO xFMS option, the prompt ERASE RTEx appears at LSK 4L when RTE x is defined. It
allows to erase the RTE x.

NEAREST
The CMA-9000 FMS presents information about the current airspace by providing bearing and distance with
respect to a center reference waypoint of the 50 closest waypoints within a distance of 640 nautical miles for
either of the following categories of waypoints:
• AIRPORT
• Non Directional Beacon (NDB)
• VHF NAV
• CUSTOM WPT
• USER WPT
The respective waypoints are displayed in order of distance from the closest to the farthest. By default, the
reference point is selected to be the current position of the aircraft. The first time the NEAREST page is accessed
after a cold start, the center reference waypoint is set to the present position (PPOS). If the reference waypoint is
the present position, distance and bearing information are refreshed every 10 seconds, otherwise for any other
waypoint type, the bearing and distance are computed once (before the respective page is exited and entered
again). For the NEAREST USER WPTS page the bearing and distance of each displayed waypoint are updated
every 10 seconds regardless of the center reference waypoint type.

The CMA-9000 FMS provides a timer, which may be used as a count-up or countdown timer, and which will
generate a TIMER ALARM alert message upon expiration.
The CMA-9000 FMS allows the user to either enter in an alarm time or a count-down value (range from 0 to 23
hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds).
With the timer not activated, and a valid alarm time entered, the user has the ability to add 5, 15 or 30 minutes
to the alarm time.
By initiating the timer to start, if an alarm time was set, then the time remaining is displayed in the countdown
field. Similarly, if a countdown time was set, the corresponding alarm time is displayed.
Once activated, the CMA-9000 FMS enables the user to update the timer, stop or deactivate/clear the timer.
The TIMER continues to function in the background, even though the page is no longer displayed, until the timer
reaches zero, or is manually stopped.

ARRIVALS
CAUTION: In case of disagreement between the published arrival information and CMA-9000 FMS displayed
information, the operator MUST follow the published arrival information.
INTRODUCTION
The complete arrival procedure, including Standard Arrival Route (STAR) and STAR transition can be loaded
into the route at the same time or in segments, depending on the ATC clearance received. The segments are
selected from lists of named procedures extracted from the navigation database for the destination airport.
When an arrival procedure is selected, the waypoints and procedural legs are extracted from the navigation
database, procedural leg types are decoded, and all resulting waypoints are inserted into the route in the correct
order.
The first waypoint of the STAR (or STAR transition) is linked to the coinciding waypoint of the en-route portion,
and subsequent en-route waypoints are deleted. If the first waypoint of the STAR (or STAR transition) does not
coincide with any en-route waypoint, then the STAR (or STAR transition) is separated from the en-route portion
by a route discontinuity. For certain types of STAR and transition, the waypoints may not be loaded into the
route until the approach is selected.
Approach transitions are appended to the route after the STAR and are usually separated from it by a route
discontinuity, unless the last waypoint of the STAR and the first waypoint of the approach transition are identical.
Arrival waypoints may include speed and altitude constraint advisories.
If the aircraft installation provides only a pressure altitude input to the CMA-9000 FMS, manual entry of the
altimeter correction is necessary to convert this input to baro-corrected altitude. Refer to the approved
AFMS/RFMS for further details. When required, entry of the altimeter correction for the destination airport
should be performed as soon as received, and prior to reaching a radial distance of 30 nm from the destination
airport and an altitude below 15,000 feet above, the destination airport elevation.
NOTE: When stringing STAR and Approach Transitions procedures at their common waypoint, if speed and/or
altitude constraints exist for this waypoint in both procedures, the constraint(s) from the Approach
transition are retained.
The Approach altitude/airspeed constraint(s) will probably be lower/slower than the STAR constraints.
This page provides an overview of the process of selecting the arrival procedures. The intent of each step is
summarized on the next page.
4. MOD, ACT LEGS - confirm the arrival procedure agrees with the clearance, then make the modified route
active.
This procedure is based on the STAR and STAR transition depicted in Figure 6-1 and assumes that only these
portions of the arrival are to be loaded at this time.

SECTION 7 - APPROACH
CONTENTS
Subject Page
SECTION 7-1
LATERAL NAVIGATION
CAUTION: In case of disagreement between the published approach information and CMA-9000 FMS displayed
information, the operator MUST follow the published approach information.
The CMA-9000 FMS is approved for instrument approach navigation (except ILS, LOC, LOC-BC,
LDA, SDF and MLS) provided the required sensor(s) outlined below is used.
GENERAL
The navigation database can contain GPS, GPS overlay, ILS approaches and non-precision approaches.
Approach types are identified by their prefix followed by the runway number:
Approach transitions are appended to the route after the STAR and are usually separated from it by a route
discontinuity, unless the last waypoint of the STAR and the first waypoint of the approach transition are identical.
Approach transitions may include procedure turns. Missed approach procedures are loaded as part of the
approach. Arrival waypoints may include speed and altitude constraint advisories. Figure 7-1 shows a typical
approach involving a full procedure turn and missed approach.
If a runway is selected rather than an approach, only the runway threshold waypoint is loaded into the route.
Baro-corrected altitude is required to enable automatic sequencing of procedure legs with altitude terminations.
If the aircraft installation provides only a pressure altitude input to the CMA-9000 FMS, manual entry of the
altimeter correction on the PROGRESS 1/X page is necessary to derive the baro-corrected altitude. Refer to
the approved AFMS/RFMS for further details. When required, entry of the altimeter correction for the arrival
airport should be performed as soon as received, and prior to reaching a radial distance of 30 nm from, and an
altitude below 15,000 feet above, the arrival airport.
When the approach transition includes a procedure turn, the CMA-9000 FMS creates two outbound legs based
on the procedure turn reference fix, followed by a turn in the correct direction to intercept the inbound course to
the final approach fix.
The still-air lengths of the procedure turn outbound legs are computed based on a time of 1 minute and 45
seconds respectively at a speed of 180 knots. The two outbound waypoints are named using the first three
characters of the procedure turn reference fix, with the suffix PT added. The last character (L or R) indicates the
direction of the turn at that waypoint. In addition, the courses of the two outbound legs have the legend P-T.
The CMA-9000 FMS provides navigation and guidance in the normal fashion for the two outbound legs of the
procedure turn, followed by a turn to intercept the final approach course inbound to the final approach fix. When
the maximum allowable procedure turn distance is less than 10 nm, the length of the first outbound leg may be
reduced. As a result, navigation and guidance may sequence to the second outbound leg almost immediately
after crossing the procedure turn reference fix.
CAUTION: During the procedure turn, it is the responsibility of the crew to ensure that the maximum distance from
the procedure turn reference fix is not exceeded and that the aircraft remains within protected airspace
at all times. The distance-to-go shown on the PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 page cannot be used for this
purpose, except when the FAF is the TO WPT. The distance from the procedure turn reference fix
can be monitored using the FIX page, as described in Section 5.
Deletion of the procedure turn reference fix or the first outbound waypoint results in the deletion of the entire
procedure turn. The two outbound waypoints cannot be copied to the scratchpad, and cannot be used as
reference waypoints.
ATC clearances which modify the selected arrival procedures can be incorporated at any time by selection of
the new procedure. This results in the automatic deletion of the waypoints associated with the cancelled
procedure.
NOTE: When stringing an Approach procedure to an Approach Transition or STAR procedure at their common
waypoint, if speed and/or altitude constraints exist for this waypoint in both procedures, the constraint(s)
from the Approach procedure are retained.
The Approach altitude/airspeed constraint(s) will probably be lower/slower than the Approach Transition
or STAR constraints.
4. MOD, ACT RTE x LEGS - confirm that the approach procedure agrees with the ATC clearance, then make
the modified route active.
The procedure described below is based on the approach shown in Figure 7-2, and assumes that the STAR has
already been selected and made active.

transitions (initial approach fixes) available for the selected approach are listed below it. If no transitions are
available, the word "-NONE-" is displayed.
NOTE: Do not select a runway before the approach unless a VFR approach is planned, since this results in
only the runway threshold waypoint being loaded into the route.

On entering the terminal area, the GPS instrument approach phase of flight (approach mode) will be armed
automatically, or an operator action may be required using an instrument panel-mounted switch, depending on
the installation. Refer to the AFMS for details.
When the radial distance from the destination airport becomes less than 30 nm; and the aircraft descends below
15,000 feet above airport elevation the following indication occurs:
• On the PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 page the RNP value changes from 2 nm to 1 nm.
• NOTE: The above indication will occur only if the RNP had not already been set manually to a value less
than or equal to 1 nm.
ALTIMETER CORRECTION
CAUTION: The CMA-9000 FMS altimeter setting entry should be verified using standard crew cross-check
procedures because of the potential impact on missed approach navigation and guidance. The baro-
corrected altitude generated by the CMA-9000 FMS using the manually-entered altimeter setting
provides the automatic waypoint sequence function for altitude-terminated legs of the missed
approach. An error in the CMA-9000 FMS altimeter setting may therefore cause the aircraft to exceed
the protected airspace due to an early or late waypoint sequence.
NOTE: If the FMS is configured for VNAV, local altimeter setting is a mandatory input to enable the VNAV
approach guidance.

When the installation provides for altitude, PROGRESS 4/4 page fields LSK 6L or 6R display the calculated
mean sea level QNH for reference.
To enter an altimeter setting, enter value in Inches of Mercury (inHg) or in Millibars (MB) and line select it to
LSK 6L respectively on PROGRESS 3/3 page or on PROGRESS 4/4 page.
The altimeter setting is displayed in LARGE font, and the baro-corrected altitude computed. This field is also
displayed, in small font, when both the QNH and baro-corrected altitude are received by the FMS. This field is
not displayed when the baro-corrected altitude is received but no external QNH is available to the FMS. This
field is not displayed when the altitude source is GPS, INS or manual.
For entries units are automatically detected and decimal point entry is not required.
NOTE: This altimeter setting will be used until after landing, or until leaving the terminal area. The altimeter
setting is cancelled and the field displays dashes ("--.--") on leaving the terminal area (distance from
the departure airport is greater than 33 nm, or the altitude is greater than 16,000 feet above airport
elevation).
When no altimeter setting is defined, field displays boxes ( . ) on entering the terminal area
(distance from the destination airport is less than 30 nm, or the altitude is less than 15,000 feet above
airport elevation). This indicates a mandatory input is required.
If the installation provides a baro-correction, a baro-corrected altitude is computed and displayed next to LSK 5L
(PROGRESS 3/3) or (PROGRESS 4/4).
NOTE: The CMA-9000 FMS will generate the alert message "SET QNH" while airborne and 30 nm or less from
the destination airport and below the transition level (TRANS LVL) if the system altitude is standard.
CAUTION: Straight line flight from waypoint to waypoint, as loaded from the navigation database, does not ensure
compliance with the published procedure. Should differences arise between the approach chart and
the navigation database, the published chart, supplemented by NOTAMS, takes precedence.
Provided the approach has been armed, when a valid approach has been selected and loaded into the active
flight plan from the navigation database, the approach phase of flight is activated automatically 2 nm prior to the
FAF, as described below.
NOTE: Selection of a new destination airport will result in the deletion of all approach and missed approach
waypoints from the flight plan.
NOTE: If a holding pattern is defined at the FAF, the CMA-9000 FMS will stay in terminal phase of flight on
entering the hold and execute the approach on exiting the hold.
Even in GPS navigation mode, the CMA-9000 FMS will not enter approach mode when flying an ILS,
LOC-BC, LOC-circle to land, LDA, LOC, SDF and MLS type approach.
At 3 nm inbound to the FAF: The advisory message HSI SCALE TO CHANGE is displayed. In installations
requiring manually arming of the approach mode, the ARM APPROACH advisory message is repeated, if the
approach mode has not yet been armed.
At 2 nm inbound to the FAF: With GPS approach integrity predicted to exist at the FAF, the Missed Approach
Point (MAP), and the current aircraft position, the CMA-9000 FMS transitions automatically to the approach
mode, with the following indications:
• NPA annunciator illuminates and when configured, GPS APPR CAP remote annunciator also illuminates.
• HSI lateral deviation sensitivity changes from terminal to apporach phase of flight (1 nm to 0.3 nm) full scale.
• When configured, MISSED APPR prompt is displayed at LSK 6R on RTE LEGS 1/X, VNAV 1/1 and
PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 pages.
• On the PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 page the RNP value changes from 1 nm to 0.3 nm.
NOTE: The legend of the "GPS APPR CAP" annunciator may vary depending on the aircraft installation. Refer
to the AFMS/RFMS for further details.
NOTE: The 3 nm and 2 nm inbound distances to the FAF are measured along the CMA-9000 FMS-predicted
path. These distances may not necessarily coincide with the DTG (distance to go) to the FAF displayed
on the HSI/CDU. DTG is a direct distance to the waypoint.
CAUTION: If, as part of the approach procedure, the aircraft is cleared direct-to the Missed Approach Holding
Point (MAHP), line selecting the MAHP identifier from the RTE x LEGS page to the scratchpad and
moving it to the TO waypoint field will result in all remaining approach waypoints to be deleted.
To avoid this situation, the MAHP identifier must be manually typed into the scratchpad and then
moved to the TO waypoint field. A discontinuity will be added after the direct-to waypoint followed
by the rest of the approach procedure.
At the missed approach point: If the missed approach procedure has not been initiated, the following
indications occur:
• TO/FROM flag on the HSI displays FROM indicating that the MAP waypoint has been overflown.
• Distance-to-go to the MAP displayed on the RTE LEGS 1/X and PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 pages starts to
increase.
• Navigation and guidance continue along the extension of the final approach course.
If the FMS is configured for VNAV, the VNAV Approach terminates when crossing the runway threshold.
NOTE: That the missed approach point may not necessarily coincide with the runway threshold. For details on
the CMA-9000 Display Panel and (E)HSI indications associated to the VNAV Approach termination,
refer to the “Vertical Navigation” sub-section.
CAUTION: The missed approach point (MAP) is not sequenced unless the pilot manually initiates the missed
approach by selecting MISSED APPR> prompt, when it is configured, (e.g. PROGRESS 1/X page) or
by pressing the TOGA switch, if the MISSED APPR> is not configured.
NO APPR INTEGRITY alert: The CMA-9000 FMS determines the availability of approach integrity prior to the 2
nm point along track to the FAF.
Depending on the installation, the approach integrity is defined for civil and military navigation configuration as
follows:
• For civil navigation configurations, the CMA-9000 FMS uses a Predictive RAIM function to predict the
availability of approach integrity;
• For military navigation configurations without a Predictive RAIM function available, the current GPS Group
NP (Navigation Performance) value is used in place of Predictive RAIM HIL and assumed to be the same at
the FAF and MAP as at the current position.
• For military navigation configuration with EGI and civil GPS installed, the CMA-9000 FMS uses the Predictive
RAIM function of the civil GPS, and the military GPS Navigation performance to determine the approach
integrity. Moreover supplemental integrity is provided by comparing:
• Civil and military GPS positions;
• INS/GPS and military GPS positions.
If the position difference between the 2 sensors compared is smaller than the maximum accuracy of the 2
sensors, the integrity is valid for the approach phase of flight.
If the Predictive RAIM of the CMA-9000 FMS determines the approach integrity will not be available at the FAF
and/or the MAP, the CMA-9000 FMS remains in the terminal phase of flight and the following occurs at 2 nm
inbound to the FAF:
• NPA annunciator does NOT illuminate and when configured, GPS APPR CAP remote annunciator does not
illuminate.
• Alert message NO APPR INTEGRITY is displayed, with illumination of the remote MSG annunciator.
• When configured, MISSED APPR prompt (LSK 6R) is displayed on RTE x LEGS 1/X, VNAV 1/1 and
PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 pages.
• HSI lateral deviation sensitivity and RNP remains at 1 nm.
If the FMS is configured for VNAV, the VNAV Approach terminates. For details on the CMA-9000 Display Panel
and HSI indications associated to the VNAV Approach termination, refer to the “Vertical Navigation” subsection.
If after transitioning to the approach phase of flight, a loss of GPS approach integrity is detected after passing
the FAF inbound, then the following events are delayed until 5 minutes after the loss is detected:
NOTE: In GPS overlay approaches, there may be a difference between the distance-to-go displayed by the
CMA-9000 FMS and the DME distance from the facility shown on the approach chart. Operators need to
take this into account when interpreting the CMA-9000 FMS distance information.
NOTE: If the HDOP exceeds 4 anytime during the approach, the approach will be cancelled immediately (e.g.
no 5 min delay).
NOTE: Operators should be aware that when flying a GPS overlay approach, a charted track defined by a VOR
radial may differ slightly from the CMA-9000 FMS-displayed course due to differences in the magnetic
variation value used to define the VOR magnetic track and that computed by the CMA-9000 FMS local
magnetic variation model. Both methods of navigation should result in the same track over the ground.
ATC (Air Traffic Control) clearance to the FAF can be handled by converting the loaded approach into a straight-in
approach. This is accomplished by direct-to navigation to intercept the inbound course to the final approach fix
(FAF).
1. Copy to the scratchpad, the FAF identifier, and move it to the TO WPT location by pressing LSK 1L.
2. Key-in the desired inbound course to the FAF and press <INTC CRS> (LSK 6R).
The intercept course changes to LARGE font and is copied to the TO WPT course.
3. Verify the course and distance of the leg to the TO WPT, and make the direct-to intercept active by pressing
EXEC.
Navigation and guidance to intercept the inbound course to the FAF on the current heading is provided.
A straight-in approach can also be created in advance by inserting a temporary waypoint into the route as an initial
approach fix (IAF) created as a place/bearing/distance waypoint based on, the FAF. On receipt of the ATC
clearance, direct-to navigation to this temporary IAF, or to intercept the new leg inbound to the FAF, can then be
performed.
CIRCLING APPROACHES
Navigation and guidance to the landing runway during a circling approach procedure can be obtained, while
retaining the correct missed approach procedure waypoints, by using direct-to intercept navigation to the landing
runway threshold waypoint at the appropriate time.
With the primary GPS or GPS overlay instrument approach procedure loaded into the route and made active:
1. At a convenient time, prepare for the circling maneuver by entering the landing runway number in the
scratchpad.
NOTE: The prefix "RW" is not required, but a leading zero must be used (e.g. 14 or RW14, 06L or RW06L).
2. Display the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page by pressing [LEGS], and move the landing runway number identifier
to the TO WPT field by pressing LSK 1L.
The "INTC CRS" prompt is displayed at LSK 6R with dashes ("---") as the default inbound course. A route
discontinuity is inserted after the landing runway threshold waypoint.
3. Key in the landing runway heading as the intercept course, and select the direct-to intercept mode by
pressing <INTC CRS> (LSK 6R).
The inbound course is moved to the INTC CRS prompt field in LARGE font and is also copied to the to
waypoint course.
4. Verify the course of the intercept leg and distance to the to waypoint.
NOTE: Do not press [EXEC] until visibility conditions permit the circling maneuver to the landing runway.
Navigation and guidance displays and autopilot/flight director operation will continue to be referenced to
the current leg of the original instrument approach procedure until [EXEC] is pressed.
5. When visibility conditions permit, make the direct-to course intercept to the landing runway active by
pressing [EXEC].
Navigation and guidance to the landing runway threshold waypoint on the selected inbound course is
provided.
NOTE: If a missed approach is necessary during the circling maneuver, direct-to navigation (with or without an
intercept) to the missed approach holding fix, or to an intermediate missed approach waypoint, will
initiate the required navigation and guidance.
VFR APPROACHES
Display the ARRIVALS 1/X page for the desired airport by pressing DEP/ARR.
NOTE: If the DEP/ARR INDEX 1/1 page is displayed, select the desired arrival airport by pressing the
appropriate <ARR> prompt (LSK 1R or LSK 2R).
3L 3R
4L 4R
5L 5R
6L <ERASE ROUTE> 6R
2. Display the desired runway by pressing [PREV] or [NEXT] as required and select it by pressing the
appropriate right hand LSK.
The APPROACHES field title is replaced by RUNWAYS with the selected runway displayed below it with the
legend "<SEL>".
The runway threshold waypoint is inserted into the route preceeded by a route discontinuity.
4. Create an initial approach fix at a suitable distance from the runway threshold on the backwards extension
of the runway heading using a place/bearing/distance temporary waypoint.
NOTE: The temporary IAF is optional since direct-to navigation to the runway threshold intercepting the
inbound course will accomplish the same result.
Direct-to navigation to the temporary IAF, or to intercept the inbound leg to the runway threshold will provide
the necessary navigation and guidance.
CAUTION: If the missed approach described on the LEGS page differs from the published missed approach,
then fly the missed approach utilizing the Autopilot HDG SEL mode instead of LNAV (FMS).
CAUTION: If direct-to navigation is executed at low altitude while in the approach phase of flight, an immediate
normal direct-to maneuver is performed, and the CMA-9000 FMS reverts to terminal phase of flight.
The crew remains responsible at all times for complying with all obstacle avoidance and altitude
restrictions during the direct-to navigation.
CAUTION: When the first leg of a missed approach is an altitude-terminated leg and the missed approach point is
crossed at an altitude that higher than the normal MDA, the FMS will sequence the altitude-terminated
leg earlier than would normally be the case, and in some cases will result in an immediate turn
upon crossing the Missed Approach Point, in the direction of the leg following the altitude-terminated
leg. If that following leg involves intercepting a course, then under certain wind conditions and
geometries of the leg to be intercepted, a valid intercept may not occur. In such case, the FMS will
command a Direct-To the termination of the leg to be intercepted. The DIRECT-TO FIX alert message
will be generated. In such cases the pilot should fly the missed approach manually or using the
Autopilot HDG SEL mode instead of the LNAV (FMS) mode, until the aircraft is in an acceptable
position to continue with FMS commanded flight path.
When in the approach phase of flight, the missed approach can be initiated at any time by:
1. Pressing <MISSED APPR> (LSK 6R) (e.g PROGESS 1/X page) when configured, or
Navigation and guidance for the missed approach procedure is provided in the normal fashion, including the
holding pattern at the missed approach holding fix (if coded in the navigation database), except that manual leg
sequencing may be required for legs with alititude terminations, as noted below.
CAUTION: During Missed Approaches, the CMA-9000 FMS does not support the low speed flight regime of
aircraft in which the bank angle is limited to 15 degrees as a function of airspeed and aircraft flap/slat
configuration. Where required by the magnitude of the track angle change, the CMA-9000 FMS will
use up to a maximum of 30 degree bank angle in computing the roll steering command to the
autopilot. Crews should therefore exercise caution when engaging LNAV in this flight regime and may
wish to use the heading select mode until the required airspeed is achieved that allows larger bank
angles than 15 degrees. No difficulties are anticipated for engaging LNAV when track angle changes
are less than 15 degrees.
The results of the various means of initiating a missed approach are summarized below.
1. When the MISSED APPR prompt is configured and the missed approach is initiated by pressing the
MISSED APPR line select key, the LNAV steering output remains valid, and the autopilot/flight director
therefore will remain in LNAV-engaged mode (if active). The CMA-9000 FMS reverts to the terminal phase-
of-flight.
2. If the missed approach is initiated by pressing the TOGA switch, the LNAV autopilot/flight director mode
automatically remains valid. The CMA-9000 FMS reverts to the terminal phase of flight.
3. If the autopilot/flight director mode is changed from LNAV-engaged to any other mode, the CMA-9000 FMS
steering signal output will no longer be used, however the CMA-9000 FMS remains in the approach phase
of flight.
4. When configured, if the <MISSED APPR> LSK is pressed before reaching the MAP, navigation and
guidance is provided along the final approach course until reaching the MAP, followed by sequencing to the
missed approach procedure waypoints.
Manual Waypoint Sequencing: When a baro-corrected altitude input is provided to the CMA-9000 FMS, the
sequencing of missed approach legs with an altitude termination (waypoint identifier is an altitude displayed in
parentheses) will be automatic. If no baro-corrected altitude input is available, automatic leg sequencing is not
possible at such waypoints, and a manual leg sequence must be accomplished. When such a waypoint
becomes the active waypoint, the following occurs:
• MANUAL WPT SEQUENCE alert message is displayed with illumination of the remote MSG annunciator.
• <NEXT WPT> prompt is displayed at LSK 6R on the RTE x LEGS 1/X and PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4 pages.
Waypoint sequencing occurs when <NEXT WPT> is pressed.
NOTE: When a holding pattern is part of the missed approach procedure, the CMA-9000 FMS will
automatically exit the holding pattern after performing a single race track. If it is required to continue
the hold, a new holding pattern must be manually entered. Please refer to the holding pattern section
for details.

2. Select the desired approach (and transition) by pressing the appropriate right hand LSK(s).
NOTE: If the same approach is to be flown a second time, delete and reselect the existing approach, or
approach transition, by pressing LSK 1R or LSK 2R and then pressing the appropriate right hand
LSK(s).
The waypoints of the new approach procedure are separated from the TO WPT by a route discontinuity.
4. Initiate navigation to the first waypoint of the new approach procedure by direct-to navigation, with or without
an intercept, as required by the clearance.
5. Verify the course and distance of the new approach procedure legs, pressing [PREV] or [NEXT] as required.
NOTE: EXECution of the new approach procedure causes all remaining waypoints of the current missed
approach procedure to be deleted, except the active waypoint. If automatic leg sequencing from the
active waypoint to the first waypoint of the new approach procedure is desired, simply close up the route
discontinuity by copying the first waypoint of the new approach procedure to the scratchpad and pressing
LSK 2L. Make the new route active by pressing [EXEC].
To accommodate changes in approach clearances, new procedures can be selected at any time.
Display the ARRIVALS 1/1 page for the desired airport by pressing [DEP/ARR].
NOTE: The ARRIVALS 1/1 page for the destination airport will be displayed by default if the aircraft is more
than halfway to its destination. Otherwise, if the DEP/ARR INDEX 1/1 page is displayed, select the
desired arrival airport by pressing the appropriate <ARR> prompt (LSK 1R or LSK 2R).
1. Press the appropriate right LSK. Pressing LSK toggles the selection status between selected and not
selected.
The selected approach procedure (or portion thereof) is deleted. Repeat this process as required.
NOTE: Deleting the approach will re-display all approaches and runways. Deleting only the approach transition
results in display of only the transitions appropriate to the selected approach.
3. Display the MOD RTE x LEGS 1/X page by pressing [LEGS], and verify the course and distance of the legs
of the modified approach procedure, pressing [PREV] or [NEXT] as required.
NOTE: Special care is required when verifying the legs of a modified approach procedure, particularly when
only a partial reselection has been made. Route discontinuities may exist, and certain waypoints of the
retained segment(s), which may have been deleted automatically as part of the loading of the original
approach procedure, may have to be re-inserted individually into the route by manual entry.
If the approach mode is active (e.g. the transition to the approach phase of flight occurred at the 2 nm point
inbound to the FAF), it can be deselected, while retaining the waypoints of the approach and missed approach,
by:
3. if not yet at the FAF, by defining a holding pattern at the FAF, as described in Section 10.
The CMA-9000 FMS provides automatic, autopilot-coupled interception of a DME arc at the arc's starting point.
Interception of the arc at an intermediate point on the arc must be accomplished manually, as follows:
1. Disengage LNAV.
NOTE: When the arc capture criteria are met (combination of XTK and TKE), leg sequencing to arc navigation
occurs automatically, indicated by an automatic waypoint sequence to the waypoint terminating the arc,
and rotation of the HSI course pointer to the arc's tangential course at the aircraft position.
4. Re-engage LNAV.
or:
Autopilot-coupled interception of the arc at an intermediate point on the arc may be accomplished by moving the
arc's starting point along the arc to the desired radial from the DME station as follows:
1. Key in /, radial of the desired intermediate point on the arc from the DME station e.g. D173J/220.
2. Display the arc's starting waypoint location in the route by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] or [PREV] as
required.
3. Line select the scratchpad entry to the arc's starting waypoint location.
The new arc's starting waypoint is displayed with a new identifier derived from the entered radial e.g. D220J.
Once established on the arc, the HSI course pointer displays the tangential course along the arc path. Lateral
deviation is measured from this tangential course. Near the end of the arc, sequencing to the next waypoint
occurs automatically, with the turn anticipation point computed such that no overshoot of the next navigation leg
will occur up to maximum ground speed of 315 knots.
At any time on the arc, the message HIGH ARC EXIT SPEED may be generated to indicate that the
combination of true air speed and wind will cause an overshoot of the next navigation leg.
If an approach transition including a procedure turn has been loaded into the route, it can be readily deleted and
converted into a straight-in approach.
1. Line select to the scratchpad (do not key in), the procedure turn reference fix LSK 4L.

2. Move the procedure turn reference fix to the TO WPT location by pressing LSK 1L.
The procedure turn reference fix and the two outbound waypoints are deleted from the MOD route, and the
FAF waypoint becomes the TO WPT, with the correct inbound course to the FAF displayed as the default
intercept course.
NOTE: The procedure turn also can be deleted by deleting the reference fix by means of the [CLR] functional
key. However, depending on the order of the deletion and direct-to navigation actions, the intercept
inbound course may have to be entered manually since the default value will be that of the original leg
inbound to the reference fix.
SECTION 7-2
VERTICAL NAVIGATION
GENERAL
This section applies to those aircraft installations where the FMS is configured for VNAV. Refer to AFMS for
further details.
Current CMA-9000 FMS implementation supports a VNAV Approach mode. The Vertical Navigation (VNAV)
function provides advisory geometric vertical guidance on the HSI glideslope scale and is not coupled to the
autopilot/flight-director system. An invalid condition for VNAV will bring the glideslope flag in-view and prevent
display of misleading information.
CAUTION: When the VNAV approach function is utilised during non-precision approaches, it is mandatory for
the crew to have the VNAV approach page displayed on the CMA-9000 Display Panel.
In all instances, the altimeter MUST remain the primary altitude source for the crew.
Within the terminal area, the FMS provides airplane vertical deviation advisory information, with respect to a
path projected backward at a specified vertical path angle (VPA) from the runway threshold crossing height
(TCH) and passing through the final approach fix (FAF). For vertical profile view, refer to Figure 7-3. Laterally,
the glidepath is centered on the final approach course with its width limited to +/- 6.0 nm inbound to FAF and
limited to +/- 0.6 nm from FAF up to the runway threshold. If the aircraft position is outside this zone defining
the glidepath width, or if the aircraft is not inbound to the landing runway vertical deviation advisory information
will not be provided (e.g. glideslope pointer will be biased out-of-view). For plan view, refer to Figure 7-4.
NOTE: FMS must be in GPS NAV mode for display of vertical deviation information.
If the selected approach name (as it appears on the VNAV page title) does not include a runway
number (e.g. 19L), then the VNAV glidepath calculation cannot be activated since the approach does
not have an associated runway threshold.
The glidepath will automatically be activated upon entering the terminal area, provided the aircraft is positioned
within the zone defining the glidepath width as described above.
When the glidepath is activated, the deviation from the vertical path is being actively computed and displayed on
the HSI/ADI depending on the installation.
The FMS can be configured for temperature compensation. The compensation may be required for destination
airport temperature conditions deviating from the ISA temperature. When configured a system alert message,
"SET AIRPORT TEMP" will be displayed in the scratchpad when the aircraft enters the terminal area. If the
airport temperature is entered into the FMS, the vertical deviation information will include temperature
compensation.
CAUTION: In warm temperature conditions, the temperature compensated altitudes presented on the VNAV
Approach and LEGS CMA-9000 Display Panel pages will be lower than the charted procedure
altitudes.
Temperature compensation is applied to altitudes for all approach and approach transition waypoints.
The FMS determines the VPA for the selected approach based on the following priority scheme :
2. Compute VPA based on vertical path joining FAF altitude plus 50ft and runway threshold elevation plus 50ft
; or
3. If no FAF altitude is encoded, use 3.00 degrees vertical path projected backward from the runway elevation
plus 50ft.
NOTE: When following the VNAV profile, upon overflying the FAF, the crew may notice a difference between
the indicated altitude and the FAF charted altitude. The indicated altitude will be 50 ft or more above
the FAF charted altitude. The reason for this difference is because the FMS computes the target vertical
profile using the VPA determined by the above priority scheme.
If the computed VPA is below 2.75 degrees, an alert message (“LOW GLIDEPATH ANGLE”) will apprear in the
scratchpad.
If the computed VPA exceeds 3.77* degrees, an alert message ("HIGH GLIDEPATH ANGLE") will appear.
CAUTION: If LOW or HIGH GLIDEPATH ANGLE message are displayed, the crew has to verify the VPA
displayed on the VNAV approach page. If VPA is appropriate, the approach can be conducted. If
VPA is inapropriate (exceed aircraft performance limitation or does not correspond to approach
plate value) stop using the FMS for this advisory VNAV approach and advise maintenance
operation. Guidance will still be provided in case HIGH/LOW glidepath message are displayed.

DIRECT-TO/INTERCEPT
INTRODUCTION
The active flight plan may be modified at any time by the entry of a direct-to procedure to navigate the aircraft
directly to a downtrack waypoint or to intercept a course inbound to a waypoint. The direct-to waypoint may be
an existing waypoint on or off the route. Entry of an off-route waypoint will create a discontinuity in the active
route which can be closed up as described in Section 5. When the direct-to waypoint is already part of the
current flight plan, all flight plan waypoints prior to the direct-to waypoint will be deleted.
The following describes the Direct-To a fixed course/Direct-To a heading and the Direct-To a waypoint
procedures.
NOTE: The direct-to function can be defined as standard or moving_dtk (via a configurable option). In addition
to this selection, a tactical direct-to function can also be available. When both are configured, they co-
exist in the FMS. (Refer to Section 11 for the tactical direct-to function or the direct-to a moving
waypoint).
When a Direct-to a waypoint procedure is executed the CMA-9000 FMS calculates an intercept course to the
waypoint based on the aircraft velocity, present position, track, and wind velocity.
Roll steering command, track angle error (TKE), and lateral deviation (XTK) are provided to guide the aircraft to
intercept the calculated course.

ground or airborne, the navigation and guidance data output by the CMA-9000 FMS (desired track, track angle
error, crosstrack distance) are relative to the specified intercept course inbound to the waypoint. The mode used
is dependent on the aircraft installation. The CMA-9000 FMS initially enters a Track Hold mode (TRK
configuration) or a Heading Hold (HDG configuration) mode or keeps the wings level (LEVEL configuration) prior
to capturing the intercept leg.
A. When configured for constant track (TRK), or constant heading (HDG), the CMA-9000 FMS enters the
Track/Heading Hold mode when the following conditions are satisfied (refer to Figure 9-1):
The order in which the conditions occur is not important. When all three conditions are satisfied, the current
aircraft track/heading is maintained until the intercept leg is captured by the lateral steering function of the
CMA-9000 FMS, or until LNAV is disengaged. If LNAV is disengaged and a new track/heading is
established, re-engaging LNAV will cause the CMA-9000 FMS to maintain the new track/heading.
When the CMA-9000 FMS is in Track/Heading Hold mode, continuous checks are performed by the CMA-
9000 FMS to determine if the intercept is achievable. These checks are performed when Track/Heading
Hold is first activated and are repeated periodically until the leg is captured by the CMA-9000 FMS steering
function.
1. If the predicted intercept point is very close (e.g. less than 0.1 nm) to the leg's termination waypoint and
the airplane is turned from a valid heading intercept, then a path is calculated direct-to the waypoint and
a DIRECT TO FIX alert message is displayed. The display of guidance data remains relative to the
intercept course.

2. If the present aircraft track/heading does not cross the intercept leg or the track angle error is larger than
135-degree, then:
a. If the cross-track distance is greater than the 45-degree leg capture distance, the CMA-9000 FMS
causes the LNAV mode to disengage and the “NOT ON INTERCEPT TRK” or “NOT ON
INTERCEPT HDG” message is displayed.
b. If the cross-track distance is less than the 45-degree capture distance, path capture is passed over
to the normal CMA-9000 FMS steering function. No advisory message is displayed.
3. If the track angle error relative to the intercept course is greater than 90-degree, and the aircraft present
position is past the abeam point to the intercept fix, the LNAV AP/FD mode will not engage and the
“NOT ON INTERCEPT TRK” or “NOT ON INTERCEPT HDG” message will be displayed.
When the “NOT ON INTERCEPT TRK” or “NOT ON INTERCEPT HDG” message is displayed, the CMA-
9000 FMS is no longer in Track/Heading Hold mode, and aircraft automatic guidance is controlled by the
normal AP/FD modes. However, if LNAV is disengaged and a new track/heading is established to intercept
the course, re-engaging LNAV will cause the CMA-9000 FMS to return to Track/Heading Hold mode using
the new aircraft track/heading.
If the CMA-9000 FMS LNAV discrete is not configured, the information regarding the AFCS (Auto Flight
Control System) LNAV status is sent through other means to the CMA-9000 FMS. When the CMA-9000 FMS
receives this information the roll command output value changes to compute the value required to intercept the
angle (value which was frozen at the moment the AFCS LNAV switch was pressed).
B. When configured to remain wings level, the CMA-9000 FMS keeps the roll command to a zero value until
initiating the turn to capture the intercept leg. If the intercept is not achievable the FMS will trigger the alert
message “NOT ON INTERCEPT HDG” or “NOT ON INTERCEPT TRK”.
In configurations where LNAV input is not available, if the intercept is not achievable or a "direct to fix" mode
has been initiated, the CMA-9000 FMS continues to monitor the conditions for a valid intercept. If a valid
intercept is detected, the CMA-9000 FMS will remove the alert message and resume the normal intercept
procedure.
In configurations where LNAV input is available, at any time prior to initiation of the inbound turn, the action
of disabling LNAV input, selecting a new heading, and re-enabling LNAV input will cause the CMA-9000
FMS to set roll command to zero until the inbound turn is initiated once again.
2. Move the waypoint identifier to the TO WPT field by pressing LSK 1L.
The "INTC CRS" prompt is displayed, at the LSK 6R location, with the default inbound course shown in
medium font size. If the direct-to waypoint is part of the active route, the default inbound course is the
inbound course of the route leg to the selected waypoint. If it is an off-route waypoint, the default inbound
course is direct from present position and is also displayed as the TO WPT course.
3. Select the direct-to intercept mode with default inbound course by pressing INTC CRS (LSK 6R).
The default inbound course changes to LARGE font, and is copied to the TO WPT course. The current
track/heading will not intercept the inbound course prior to reaching the TO WPT, a "NOT ON
INTERCEPT TRK" or "NOT ON INTERCEPT HDG" advisory message will be displayed.
NOTE: If the aircraft track/heading is incorrect, turn the aircraft to the correct track/heading prior to pressing
EXEC key.
The "MOD" status in the title line is replaced by "ACT". Navigation and guidance will change to the new
leg from present position to intercept the inbound course to the TO waypoint on the current track/heading.
2. Move the waypoint identifier to the TO WPT field by pressing LSK 1L.
4. Select the direct-to intercept mode by pressing INTC CRS (LSK 6R).
The "INTC" prompt is displayed, at the LSK 6R location, with the scratchpad inbound course shown in LARGE
font size. The scratchpad inbound course is also copied to the TO WPT course. If the current track/heading
will not intercept the inbound course prior to reaching the TO WPT, a “NOT ON INTERCEPT TRK” or "NOT
ON INTERCEPT HDG" advisory message will be displayed.
NOTE: If the aircraft track/heading is incorrect, turn the aircraft to the correct track/heading prior to pressing
EXEC key.
The "MOD" status in the title line is replaced by "ACT". Navigation and guidance change to the new leg from
present position to intercept the inbound course to the TO waypoint on the current track/heading.
NOTE: If a new heading clearance is received to intercept the inbound course, steering aircraft to new heading
and re-engaging LNAV will cause the CMA-9000 FMS to fly the new intercept heading.

SECTION 10
GENERAL
The CMA-9000 FMS can navigate a race-track holding pattern at a holding fix. The parameters of the desired
holding pattern may either be entered before take-off or while flying enroute. The holding fix is entered as a
waypoint. This waypoint may be preselected, so that upon reaching it, the CMA-9000 FMS will provide
guidance to enter and continue the holding pattern until such time as the pattern is terminated either
automatically or by operator action.
The shape and terminology of the figure below depicts a right turn holding pattern. For left turn holding patterns,
the corresponding entry and holding procedures are symmetrical with respect to the inbound track.
The holding pattern entry procedures described below may be flown manually or under autopilot control. When
holding patterns are flown manually, intermediate points of the holding pattern procedure (including entry
procedures) must be overflown and should be flown slightly outside the polygone (either the triangle or
rectangle) represented in the figure (examples) provided in the Entry Procedures section. The course pointer on
the HSI will always show the inbound course.
ENTRY PROCEDURES
The entry into the holding pattern will be according to the track angle in relationship to the three entry sectors
shown below.

1. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft will turn onto an outbound heading so as to fly a leg parallel to
the inbound leg for a length of approximately 2.6 times the turn radius; and then:
2. Turn left on to the holding side to intercept the inbound track; and then:
3. Upon flying over the holding fix, turn right and follow the holding pattern.
The following figures shows the parallel entry and expected aircraft guidance on a typical* GAMA EFIS
display.
* For COLLINS EFIS-84 display system, no holding pattern is displayed; rather the crew is provided with an
‘/HL’ or ‘/HR’ appended to the holding fix’s waypoint name to indicate a left or right hand rotation hold
pattern, respectively.
NOTE: The advisory message PARALLEL HOLD ENTRY is displayed as soon as either of the following
conditions are fulfilled:
• one minute prior to the holding fix when the aircraft is on track inbound to the holding fix
independently of the ground speed
• one minute prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is greater than 250 kts
• ten seconds prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is less than 250 kts
The message is removed as soon as the holding fix is overflown a second time.

1. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft will turn to the heading required to fly a 40° track relative to the
reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side; then:
The following figures show the teardrop entry and expected aircraft guidance on a typical* GAMA EFIS
display.
* For COLLINS EFIS-84 display system, no holding pattern is displayed; rather the crew is provided with an
‘/HL’ or ‘/HR’ appended to the holding fix’s waypoint name to indicate a left or right hand rotation hold
pattern, respectively.
NOTE: The advisory message TEARDROP HOLD ENTRY is displayed as soon as either of the following
conditions are fulfilled:
• one minute prior to the holding fix when the aircraft is on track inbound to the holding fix
independently of the ground speed
• one minute prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is greater than 250 kts
• ten seconds prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is less than 250 kts
The message is removed as soon as the holding fix is overflown a second time.
2. Fly outbound until the turn distance needed to acquire the inbound leg is reached; and then:
4. On the second arrival over the holding fix, the aircraft will turn right to follow the holding pattern.
On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft will turn right to follow the holding pattern.
The following figures show the direct entry and expected aircraft guidance on a typical* GAMA EFIS display.
* For COLLINS EFIS-84 display system, no holding pattern is displayed; rather the crew is provided with an
‘/HL’ or ‘/HR’ appended to the holding fix’s waypoint name to indicate a left or right hand rotation hold
pattern, respectively.
NOTE: The advisory message DIRECT HOLD ENTRY is displayed as soon as either of the following
conditions are fulfilled:
• one minute prior to the holding fix when the aircraft is on track inbound to the holding fix
independently of the ground speed
• one minute prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is greater than 250 kts
• ten seconds prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is less than 250 kts
The message is removed as soon as the holding fix is overflown.

The initial geometry of the holding pattern is computed on the first fly-over of the holding fix, based on current
TAS and computed wind, and at a bank angle for a rate one (1) turn, or not exceeding the maximum configured
roll, whichever is less. The size of the holding pattern is compared to the dimensions of the protected airspace,
less a small buffer, defined by ICAO for the maximum holding speed (see Table10-1) and maximum wind for
that altitude. On each subsequent fly-over of the holding fix the holding pattern geometry is recomputed using
the current TAS and wind.
If the combination of actual holding speed and wind will cause the ICAO holding pattern protected airspace to be
exceeded, the alert message HIGH HOLDING SPEED is generated one (1) minute prior to reaching the holding
fix on entry, and on each subsequent fly-over of the fix.
NOTE: When buffet protection is configured, the CMA-9000 FMS removes the buffet limit during a hold to ensure
that the bank angle limit does not cause an increase in the holding pattern area.
NOTE: The holding pattern geometry provides parallel inbound and outbound legs.
Press HOLD, the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page is displayed with "/H" in the scratchpad.
or:
Display the DES+SAR or TACTICAL 1/2 or INACT DES+SAR or TACTICAL 2/2 page, and select "HOLD" by
pressing [INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL> (LSK 6R) and <HOLD> (LSK 3R).
NOTE: The holding pattern can also be inserted in the inactive route by pressing [INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or
<TACTICAL> (LSK 6R), [NEXT] (for the INACT DES+SAR or TACTICAL 2/2) and <HOLD> (LSK 3R).
The inactive RTE y LEGS 1/X page is displayed with "/H" in the scratchpad.
or:
Key in "/H".
then:
1. Display the desired HOLD FIX waypoint by pressing [PREV] or [NEXT] as required.
2. Move the /H prompt to the desired holding waypoint by pressing the appropriate LSK.
The MOD HOLD page is displayed. Default values of hold parameters are displayed (right turn, inbound
course equal to course of route leg to holding waypoint, and leg time of 1 or 1.5 minutes depending on aircraft
altitude at the time the hold entry is initiated). Follow the manual entry procedure below to modify any hold
parameters. If present in the navigation database, speed and altitude restrictions are also displayed.
When the aircraft crosses 14000 ft, the HOLD leg time does not change automatically.
and/or:
4. Key in the new inbound course into the scratchpad and move it to the INBD CRS field by pressing LSK 3L.
and/or:
5. Key in the new leg time/leg distance into the scratchpad and move it to the TIME/LEG DIS field by pressing
LSK 4L.
The field which has not been entered (either time or distance) is replaced by dashes.
then:
6L <NEW HOLD 6R
The previously displayed ACT x LEGS 1/X page is displayed with "/H" legend beside the waypoint identifier. The
holding pattern is now armed at the selected waypoint. On reaching this waypoint, navigation and guidance is
provided to perform a standard entry and on the HOLD 1/X page, the title line status will be shown as "ACT
HOLD".
On reaching the holding waypoint the course to the TO WPT displayed on the RTE x LEGS 1/X and PROGRESS
1/3 or 1/4 pages is replaced by the legend "HOLD AT", and a HOLD prompt is displayed at LSK 6R.
A navigation database holding pattern used for a course reversal is identified as EXIT TYPE “ONCE”. The exit of
this type of holding pattern is performed automatically by the CMA-9000 FMS upon completion of the entry
procedure (e.g.: second crossing of the holding fix).
Key a valid off-route waypoint identifier followed by /H into the scratchpad (e.g.: KILLA/H).
NOTE: If the waypoint is not in the navigation database, the temporary waypoint should be created and inserted
in the desired location in the route (as described in Section 5) before defining the holding pattern.
6L <ERASE 6R
1. Display the desired location in the route by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] as required.
2. Move the waypoint entry to the desired location by pressing the appropriate LSK.
The MOD HOLD page is displayed. Modify the holding pattern parameters as required, following the manual
entry procedure described previously.
3. Verify the holding pattern parameters, and arm the hold by pressing [EXEC].
NOTE: If the off-route waypoint is made the TO WPT, EXECuting the holding pattern ALSO results in direct-to
navigation to the holding waypoint without an intercept course. If an intercept course is required,
return to the LEGS page and setup the intercept course prior to pressing EXEC.
1. Display the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page with the /H prompt in the scratchpad by pressing HOLD.
If a holding pattern has already been defined, the HOLD 1/1 page is displayed. Press NEW HOLD (LSK 6L) to
display the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page, with a HOLD PPOS prompt displayed at LSK 6R.
NOTE: To cancel the procedure at this stage, press [LEGS]. The <HOLD PPOS> prompt at LSK 6R is
replaced by the normal <LEGS ETA> prompt.
2. Select the present position hold mode by pressing <HOLD PPOS> (LSK 6R).
The MOD HOLD 1/X page is displayed, with the holding waypoint identifier shown as "PPOS". If necessary,
modify the hold parameters following the manual entry procedure described above.
The present position is defined at the moment the [EXEC] key is pressed.
The "MOD" status in the title line changes to "ACT". The CMA-9000 FMS performs a standard entry to the
hold. If the inbound course is not aligned with the current course, an appropriate standard hold entry
procedure will be followed.
NOTE: A holding pattern at present position can only be initiated using the procedure described above. The
manual entry of "/H" cannot be used.
After EXECuting a hold at the present position, PPOS/H is shown in the first position of the ACT RTE x
LEGS 1/X page. If, subsequently, a DIRECT-TO a waypoint not existent in the current route is
performed, then the holding pattern is exited, the PPOS/H is deleted from the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X
page, and the respective waypoint is inserted in the first position of the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page
followed by a discontinuity and the initial route.
1. Initiate the definition of a new hold by pressing <NEW HOLD> (LSK 6L).
The HOLD page title line will display 1/X instead of 1/1. Holding patterns are displayed in the order of route
waypoints. When in ACT HOLD or HOLD pages, all holding patterns in the route can be displayed using
[NEXT] or [PREV] keys.
3. Verify the new pattern parameters, and accept them by pressing [EXEC].
When the aircraft is in the holding pattern, the ACT HOLD page is displayed.
The HOLD page title line will change from ACT HOLD to MOD HOLD.
3. Verify the new pattern parameters, and make them active by pressing [EXEC].
The HOLD page title line will change from MOD HOLD to HOLD.
NOTE: The new parameters become effective for navigation and guidance only on the next fly-over of the
holding fix, at which time the HOLD page title line will change from HOLD to ACT HOLD.
2. Arm the exit hold procedure by pressing <EXIT HOLD> (LSK 6R).
The "EXIT HOLD" prompt disappear, the status changes to EXITING HOLD and the <ERASE> prompts
displayed in green reverse video. "ACT" status in the title line changes to "MOD", and the EXEC annunciator
illuminates.
NOTE: The hold exit can be cancelled at this point by pressing <ERASE> (LSK 6L). The prompt reverts to
"NEW HOLD", the <EXIT HOLD> prompt is displayed in green reverse video, the status changes to IN
PROGRESS, "MOD" status reverts to "ACT", and the EXEC annunciator extinguishes.
On the RTE x LEGS 1/X, PROGRESS 1/3 or 1/4, and VNAV 1/1 pages, the legend “HOLD AT” is replaced
with “EXIT HOLD” upon arming the holding pattern exit.
Navigation and guidance is provided for an immediate turn (not applicable to the first outbound turn) towards
the holding fix to exit the holding pattern over the fix, followed by continuation of the active route. The
immediate turn is not applicable for the very first holding pattern turn. If crew must exit the pattern during the
first run, a direct-to procedure to the next waypoint (e.g. waypoint following the holding fix) must be executed
as described below, Exit By Direct-To Navigation To Any Waypoint.
If an entry into the holding pattern is being performed, the entry procedure is completed normally prior to
exiting the hold. Sequencing of the holding fix is done without turn anticipation (Fly-over).
In order to sequence the holding fix and proceed with the holding fix sequence when the pattern is flown
manually, the aircraft must overfly (or pass outside) the second temporary (diagonally opposite to the holding
fix) waypoint as shown in Entry Procedures subsection.
When the direct-to is executed, navigation and guidance is provided for an immediate turn towards the
inbound holding course. Sequencing of the holding fix is done with turn anticipation (Fly-by).
When the direct-to is EXECuted, navigation and guidance is provided to turn in the shortest direction to the
direct-to course.
CONTINUE TO HOLD
When a procedure is define with an exit type equals to ONCE or AT TGT ALT, and it is required to stay in the
hold, the following procedure should be executed:
The "RESUME HOLD" prompt disappear, the status changes to RESUMING HOLD, the exit type changes to
MANUAL and the <ERASE> promtps displayed in green reverse video. "ACT" status in the title line changes
to "MOD", and the EXEC annunciator illuminates.
NOTE: The resuming hold can be cancelled at this point by pressing <ERASE> (LSK 6L). The prompt reverts to
"NEW HOLD", the <RESUME HOLD> prompt is displayed in green reverse video, the status changes to
EXIT ARMED, "MOD" status reverts to "ACT", and the EXEC annunciator extinguishes.
NOTE: After the ONCE or AT TGT ALT procedure has been changed to a manual hold, it is impossible to return
to the hold procedure fetched from the navigation database.
The "RESUME HOLD" prompt is changed to EXIT HOLD, the status changes to IN PROGRESS, and the
<NEW HOLD> promtps is displayed. "MOD" status in the title line changes to "ACT", and the EXEC
annunciator extinguishes.
A. PRIOR TO ENTRY
1. Display the desired holding waypoint by pressing [LEGS], [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
2. Key in /.
The "/H" legend at the selected waypoint is deleted. The waypoint is NOT deleted from route.

TACTICAL FUNCTIONS
NOTE: The following functions can only be used in aircraft conducting military, para-military, search
and rescue, coast-guard or police operations.
NOTE: SAR patterns are limited to use under Visual Flight Rules only, unless the aircraft is 2000 feet above all
obstacles within 10 nautical miles of the aircraft flight path.
The CMA-9000 FMS can navigate three types of search patterns from a search fix: expanding square, creeping
ladder and sector search (Figure 1). The parameters of the desired search pattern may either be entered before
take-off or while en-route to the search area. Based on parameters entered, the FMS computes the maximum
ground speed at which the search should be performed. If the aircraft speed exceeds the maximum SAR ground
speed computed, the pattern will not be flown optimally and overshoot will occur. The starting point of the search
pattern is entered as a waypoint. This waypoint may be pre-selected, so that upon reaching it, the CMA-9000
FMS will provide guidance to enter and continue the defined pattern until such time as the pattern is terminated
either automatically or by operator action.
Alternately, the search pattern may be initiated at present position by selecting the PPOS prompt (LSK 5L) on
the RTE x SQUARE, LADDER, or SECTOR 1/X page.

LEG
LENGTH
The FMS treats SAR waypoints as fly-by waypoints (e.g. involving turn anticipation). Crews should be aware of
this characteristic when defining the search on the SAR page. Refer to Figure 11-2 (a), which is an example of
a ladder pattern for a search field of 5 nm in width that needs to be flown with a track spacing of 1 nm. When
defining the dimensions of the search area, it is recommended to increase the leg length (or diameter for the
sector pattern searches) by twice the turn radius (r) as shown in Figure 11-2 (b) in order to start and end the
turns outside the search field.
Failure to take this characteristic into consideration may cause a loss of visibility during the turns, depending on
aircraft type (fixed wing vs rotor, banking capability).
The following table provide the value for twice the turn radius. It can be added to the search area when entering
leg length for ladder pattern searches or diameter for the sector pattern searches.
Table 11-1 Twice the Turn Radius in nautical miles function of Max Bank Angle and Max Ground Speed
When entering the ladder search, the FMS treats the entry waypoint of the search pattern as a fly-over. Hence
the crew should ensure that the pattern is entered without a significant course change at the pattern entry
waypoint, to avoid a large overshoot.

After pressing the MARK functional key the current CMA-9000 FMS system position is stored in the predefined
label “MARK ON TOP”.
The CMA-9000 FMS Weather Radar or AHCAS EFIS input interface decodes the selected Joystick
Latitude/Longitude received from the Weather Radar or AHCAS joystick equipments and displays this data in
the field “LAST JOYSTICK” (if configured) along with the time of reception.
The CMA-9000 FMS computes the PLS waypoint position in latitude and longitude and in bearing/distance from
the aircraft present position using the range and steering angle data provided by the PLS. This data is displayed
in the field “LAST PLS” (this field is displayed on the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page if the PLS equipment is
configured).
Press <NEW USER WPT>, LSK 6L to store the waypoint in the User Database. The position of the waypoint with
the most recent time of reception is transferred into the USER WPT 1/2 page. Refer to the USER DATABASE
procedure section in Section 11-4.
To insert any of the three positions present on the page in a flight plan, press one of the LSKs (1R, 2R, or 3R) to
copy the point in the scratchpad, and follow the waypoint insertion procedures as presented in Section 3.
The UPDATE POS prompt opens the page with the same name which allows manual updates of the following
navigation modes: INS/GPS {SAGEM SIGMA50H EGI configuration only}, INS/DVS {SAGEM SIGMA50H EGI
configuration only}, INS {Litton LN_100GT EGI configuration only}, and DVS {DVS configuration only}. Refer to
the UPDATE POS in section 12.
The CMA-9000 FMS can also manage a transdown profile to hover based on the definition of a mark point
MRK, a track at MRK opposite to a wind direction, and a hover height at the MRK point. The theoretical profile
for height and speed used to go from the current height and speed value to the final height and speed value is
taken into account.
The TDN and MARK points are treated as flyover waypoints. No other waypoint can be inserted between them.
• In the first phase the CMA-9000 FMS computes a trajectory in order to put the aircraft in the correct wind
direction. The helicopter is brought to a point TDN facing the wind. The TDN point located at the same
altitude as the beginning of the maneuver is obtained by calculating a guided automatic transition distance
(DTRA) to the MRK point.
• The second phase deals with the transition from TDN to MRK: it is characterized by a fixed bearing and,
before engaging the transition, the distance is recalculated based on true airspeed (TAS) and current
altitude (a command is then sent to the AFCS, which begins the descent and deceleration profiles).
The definition of the MRK point can be done by waypoint marking or by waypoint selection on the CMA-9000
FMS CDU. Thus the MRK point may be entered manually, selected from the database or defined as the present
position. The MRK point may be defined on the CMA-9000 FMS CDU by the MARK key (if available). In addition
the CMA-9000 FMS provides two input types to mark a point.
• One input allows the CMA-9000 FMS to receive a position for the MRK point from an external device such
as a Weather Radar or DMAP.
• The other input (installation-dependent) allows the CMA-9000 FMS to receive a position for the MRK point,
to activate and execute the hover procedure by pressing an external push-button.
Unless wind parameters are manually entered on the PROGRESS 1/4 page, the wind used for the hover
procedure is the one computed by the CMA-9000 FMS at reception of the procedure request (wind direction
frozen at procedure execution time, wind module frozen when overflying the TDN waypoint).
CAUTION: The transdown to hover procedure will be executed over flat surfaces in an obstacle free environment.
If the procedure is flown without the CMA-9000 FMS being coupled to an auto-pilot, it will be flown as
close as possible to the EFIS-displayed flight path.
• The MARK point is designated by either using the joystick on the weather radar or by entering its
coordinates on the CMA-9000 FMS CDU (Figure 11-4).
• The MARK point is designated when overflying a certain point (Figure 11-5).

Unless the entry is made from the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page, enter or designate the Hover (MRK) point using LSK
1L or LSK 1R on the HOVER 1/1 page. The identifier (LSK 1L) or the coordinates (LSK 1R) of a waypoint can
be changed as long as there is no hover procedure defined in the active route.
If the system wind is not available, the wind parameters can be entered manually on the PROGRESS 1/4 page.
Activate the procedure using the ACTIVATE prompt on LSK 6R. At this point it is still possible to change the
MRK point if needed. Otherwise press [EXEC] to insert the TDN and MRK waypoints in the flight plan and
initiate the guidance.

USER DATABASE
The CMA-9000 FMS contains a User database which is used to store user waypoints and user routes. User
waypoints can be:
• entered from the scratchpad or
• received from the digital map or
• loaded from or saved to the DLU.
It is also possible to associate the existing route (MOD/ACT) with a user route created by the user and stored in
the User database.
NOTE: A Central Clear discrete input is provided in order to clear the CMA-9000 FMS routes and user
database. The aircraft installation provides the means to action this input.
A new user waypoint can be created on the USER WPT pages either by directly entering the coordinates of
the new waypoint or by using a known position as reference and a radial/distance from the reference position
to the desired user waypoint position.
Moving waypoints may be created if the Moving Waypoint configuration option is selected.

When configured, the CMA-9000 FMS accepts a Central Clear command via an external input or via an FMS
command from a line select key. When the external option is selected, the aircraft installation provides the
means to action this input.
Upon detection of the active state of the Central Clear function (either via the discrete input or via the CDU), the
CMA-9000 FMS will purge its internal memory of all User route(s), User waypoint(s), Temporary waypoint(s),
DMAP waypoint(s), Predefined waypoint(s), Active route, Inverse route, Inactive route, Sarsat waypoint(s), Bulls
Eye waypoints, phone data phone book, active phone number, all SMS messages, pre-can messages, tactical

The CMA-9000 FMS provides an backtrack route function which retraces the route flown allowing an aircraft to
fly back, from the present position to the origin, following the same sequence of waypoints flown but excluding
any waypoints associated to the following special procedures:
• STAR;
• SID;
• APPROACH;
• TACTICAL APPROACH
• HOVER,
• SAR (LADDER, SQUARE, and SECTOR patterns),
• HOLDING.
NOTE: The origin of a SAR or HOLDING procedure is included in the inverse route.
When a manual Direct-To or a Direct-To with Intercept is performed in the active route, the CMA-9000 FMS
adds a temporary waypoint to the inverse route to mark the present position except when on ground or during
the special procedures mentioned above.
All legs in the backtrack route are flown as Track between two Fixes (ARINC 424 TF leg type), except for the
first leg, which is flown as a Track between two Fixes (ARINC 424 TF leg type) only if the previously flown leg is
preserved. Otherwise, the first leg is flown as a Direct To Fix (ARINC 424 DF leg type).
Activation of the backtrack route while in-flight is configurable with two following options. The resulting modified
route consists of:
B. Configuration Option 2
• the first waypoint of the backtrack route, starting at the Top waypoint location on the MOD LEGS page,
which is the last overflown waypoint with its course set in the opposite track direction (e.g. original
track - 180º); then
• the remaining waypoints of the backtrack route.
Following activation of the backtrack route while on ground, the resulting modified route consist of the waypoints
of the backtrack route, starting at the Top waypoint location on the MOD LEGS page, regardless of the selected
configuration option.
When the Inactive route is engaged, the CMA-9000 FMS keeps the existent waypoints in the backtrack route
and continues adding waypoints to the same backtrack route list as the new route is flown.
The backtrack route is available only from the active route page.
1. Display the ACT RTE 1 1/X page by pressing the RTE functional key:
2. Display the MOD RTE LEGS 1/X page by pressing the <BACKTRACK> prompt (LSK 5L).
When the backtrack route is selected, the CMA-9000 FMS creates a temporary waypoint to mark the
present position. This temporary waypoint is inserted in the modified route under the discontinuity.
3. Verify the waypoint entry by checking course and distance of the previous and next legs.
The CMA-9000 FMS is capable of providing aircraft guidance to a “rendez-vous” point with a moving waypoint
(defined as described in the Sub-Section, Manual Entry Of A Moving User Waypoint In The Database). The
“rendez-vous” is an intercept point with the moving waypoint trajectory.
A rendez-vous position is determined once a moving waypoint is inserted in the flight plan and every 10 seconds
from there on. The rendez-vous position is recomputed as long as the Time To Go (TTG) is over one minute.
In the case of an achievable rendez-vous, the CMA-9000 FMS uses the rendez-vous position in the flight plan
and provides guidance data relative to the direct course computed inbound to this rendez-vous position.
In the case of an unachievable rendez-vous, the CMA-9000 FMS uses the moving waypoint position in the flight
plan and provides guidance data relative to the bearing to the moving waypoint.
The CMA-9000 FMS defines the moving waypoint inserted in the route as a fly-over.
The CMA-9000 FMS considers a rendez-vous unachievable in any of the following conditions:
1. The moving waypoint is the active waypoint and interception of the moving waypoint is not possible within a
traveling distance of 500 nautical miles from the current position.
2. The moving waypoint is in the active route but is not the active waypoint and interception of the moving
waypoint is not possible within a traveling distance of 500 nautical miles from the previous waypoint.
3. The moving waypoint is in the modified route but is not the first waypoint and interception of the moving
waypoint is not possible within a traveling distance of 500 nautical miles from the previous waypoint.
4. The moving waypoint is the first waypoint of the modified route and interception of the moving waypoint is
not possible within a traveling distance of 500 nautical miles from the current position.
In condition 1, the CMA-9000 FMS generates a !RENDEZVOUS UNACHIEVABLE alert message and
invalidates its roll command output.
When a rendez-vous is determined while on ground, the CMA-9000 FMS uses the CRZ_TAS and CRZ_WIND
values on the PLAN DATA page for the rendez-vous computation.
When Direct-To a waypoint procedure is executed the CMA-9000 FMS provides Roll steering, track angle error
and lateral deviation guidance to the FD/AP based on the aircraft present position and track.
Initially the CMA-9000 FMS uses the bearing from the aircraft position to the Direct-To waypoint as the intercept
course, because the aircraft position is changing the intercept course changes. The aircraft remains on the variable
intercept course and consequently the lateral deviation is kept centered until the track angle error becomes smaller
than +/-2 degrees. During this phase the aircraft is flown using the roll steering (the lateral deviation does not yet
convey useful information).
When the track angle error becomes smaller than +/-2 degrees the intercept course becomes fixed in space. The
lateral deviation varies according to the aircraft position and can now be used for guidance along with the roll
steering command.
Figure 11-6 illustrates the Direct-To a waypoint procedure, including the expected desired track and lateral
deviation indications on the HSI at points of interest along the procedure.

When a Tactical Direct-To a waypoint procedure is executed, the CMA-9000 FMS provides Roll steering, track
angle error and lateral deviation guidance to the FD/AP based on the aircraft present position and track.
The Tactical Direct-To behaves similarly as the “Moving DTK” Direct-To (refer to Section 9). The difference
between the Tactical Direct-To and the “Moving DTK” Direct-To consists in the condition to freeze the direct track
to the active waypoint. In the case of the Tactical Direct-To, this condition is the minimum turn distance (as
opposed to the +/- 2 degrees track difference in the case of a “Moving DTK” Direct.-To).

Display BULLS EYE 1/3 page by pressing [INIT REF], <BULLS EYE> {if no CFG KEY is configured to BULL} or
[BULL] {if any CFG KEY is configured to BULL}. Press [NEXT] or [PREV] to scroll to page 2/3 or 3/3.
The BULLS-EYE pages are used to define a reference point which will be used by a number of aircraft in a
mission. The purpose of the BULLS-EYE is to identify present positions of these aircraft as well as the target
position always relative to this reference point. Only the aircraft which are part of the mission know the reference
point.
1. Create the Bulls Eye reference point (use BULLS EYE 3/3 page). Definition of Bulls Eye can be achieved by
typing a waypoint ident (from any FMS databases) on LSK 1L. This will take the waypoint coordinates and
ident and assigned them to the Bulls Eye reference point. Bulls Eye can also be defined by entering directly
coordinates on LSK 1R. In this case the ident will always be “BULL”.
2. An alternative way can also be made using a reference waypoint. The reference waypoint ident can be
entered at LSK 4L. Then the relative radial/distance from the reference waypoint to the Bulls Eye can be
entered at LSK 4R. In any case, the Bulls Eye waypoint definition or modification can only be done when it
is not part of the flight plan.
NOTE: If FLIR is configured, a Bulls Eye target can also be made from the PREDEF WPT 3/3 page.
Selecting LSK 5L from the PREDEF WPT 3/3 page will access the BULLS EYE 2/3 page and enter
the last received position and altitude of the FLIR into the Bulls Eye target position (via the bulls eye
target reference waypoint) and MSL altitude field.

can be achieved by typing a waypoint ident (from any FMS databases) on LSK 1L. This will take the
waypoint coordinates and the ident and assigned them to the Bulls Eye Target point. Bulls Eye Target can
also be defined by entering directly coordinates on LSK 1R. In this case the ident will always be “BETGT”.
An alternative entry can also be made using a reference waypoint. The reference waypoint ident can be entered
at LSK 4L. Then the relative radial/distance from the reference waypoint to the Bulls Eye can be entered at LSK
4R. The Bulls Eye target can be defined as either a fixed waypoint or a moving waypoint. This selection is made
via the LSK 3L. When the Bulls Eye target is a moving waypoint, a track and ground speed is required to be
entered. This entry is done via LSK 2R. As an option, the Bulls Eye target altitude can be entered on LSK 3R.
In any case, the Bulls Eye Target point definition or modification can only be done when it is not part of the flight
plan.

NOTE: The TACTICAL APPROACH function has been designed to make as much use of the FMS’s already
existing VNAV approach mode function. Consequently, much of the logic which tactical approaches uses
is exactly the same as that which applies to the VNAV approach function.
Additional details on this can be found in the VNAV APPROACH MODE section of Section 7.
Tactical approaches are intended to allow the operator to perform approaches to any crew-selected or defined
waypoint (e.g. navigation database waypoint, user waypoint, or temporary waypoint). The tactical approach
geometry relative to this waypoint, known as the Tactical Approach Runway Threshold Waypoint, is created by the
operator. The Tactical approach can also be selected from the ARRIVALS page when a tactical approach
database has been previously loaded in the FMS. The FMS provides the crew with advisory vertical guidance
(e.g. Vertical Track Deviation) while conducting a tactical approach. The FMS also provides lateral guidance to
conduct the approach and the missed approach segment of the tactical approach.
Once the pseudo-runway threshold is defined, the operator must enter on the TACTICAL APPR 1/3 page the
required fields to define the geometry of the tactical approach procedure to be conducted.
Initial Tactical Approach page display when runway threshold is defined from the LEGS page (PARKK/A entered).
6L <ERASE 6R
The crew has to enter the following mandatory information before the Tactical Approach can be executed:
B. The Runway Elevation (LSK 4R). Runway elevation is defined as the height above WGS-84 reference
ellipsoid. Refer to Figure 11-8.
NOTE: The Missed Approach Point (MAP) altitude constraint will be set to 50ft above the Runway
Elevation.

MSL
When mandatory entries are entered the FMS will compute the coordinates and altitude constraints of the TIAF,
TFAF, MAP, TMAP1, TMAP2 waypoints using the default tactical approach parameters.
6L <ERASE 6R
NOTE: The Initial Approach Angle (IAA) displayed next to TIAF waypoint is used for quick validation of Vertical
Profile generated (refer to Figure 11-8).
The TRANS LVL field seen on the TACTICAL APPR 1/3 page contains the Transition Level value that is currently
set in the FMS (refer to PLAN DATA 1/1 page, if configured). This value is defined on the PLAN DATA 1/1 page
and is copied over to the TACTICAL APPR 1/3 page. This value cannot be directly modified on the TACTICAL
APPR 1/3 page and is placed here only for operator reference when executing/accepting the tactical approach
procedure that was created.
CAUTION: It is the crew’s responsibility to ensure that the appropriate transition level for the tactical approach
destination was correctly entered.
The crew can manually overwrite the length default values of the initial tactical approach, the final tactical approach
segments, the Initial approach Course, the tactical approach vertical path angle (VPA), the TFAF and the TIAF
altitude constraints. Refer to Table 11-2 for recomputed parameters upon modification of default values.
Table 11-4 specify all defaults, minimum and maximum parameter values than can me manually modified by the
crew. If any parameter is out of range due to manual entry or by tactical approach profile re-computation the
message !OUT OF RANGE will be displayed on the scratchpad and the entry will be rejected.
The second Tactical Approach page presents the information related to the Tactical Missed Approach segment.
The FMS automatically generates a Tactical Missed Approach procedure based on default parameters. Refer to
Figure 11-9 and 11-10 for lateral and vertical Tactical Missed Approach Profiles.

A flight plan can only contain a single approach and/or arrival procedure at any given time.
Should an approach already exist in a flight plan, this would need to be removed from the flight plan before the
tactical approach can be inserted.
NOTE: If a second tactical approach is required for planning purposes, it may be defined in the inactive flight plan.
2. /A can be entered over an existing flight plan waypoint on the LEGS page thus making the waypoint the
destination for the tactical approach.
3. Via the TACT APPR prompt located on DES+SAR or TACTICAL 2/4 (or DES+SAR or TACTICAL 4/4 for the
inactive route). As is the case for other waypoints entered via the DES+SAR or TACTICAL pages, the
reference waypoint ID (RWY THR WPT for tactical approaches) can be entered in the scratchpad prior to
going to the DES+SAR or TACTICAL page.
4 Selecting LSK 1L on TACTICAL APPR 1/3 if a tactical approach had already been entered and the tactical
approach procedure still exists on this page (e.g. the RWY THR WPT field still shows an waypoint identifier).
This will then copy the RWY THR WPT field value to the scratchpad, append /A to it, and automatically call
up the LEGS page to allow insertion of same tactical approach procedure.
5. Via the TACT APPR prompt located on the TACTICAL 1/2 page (or INACT TACTICAL 2/2 for the inactive
route). As is the case for other waypoints entered via the TACTICAL pages, the reference waypoint ID (RWY
THR WPT for tactical approaches) can be entered in the scratchpad prior to going to the TACTICAL page.
When a Tactical Approach database is loaded in the FMS the crew can select a tactical approach from the
ARRIVALS page.
NOTE: This can be especially useful once a missed approach has occurred and the crew wishes to now
reattempt a tactical approach to the same tactical landing sight using the same, previously entered, tactical
approach parameters.
If a tactical approach exists in the flight plan, it can be deselected from the flight plan by ensuring the following:
1. For the active flight plan, none of the 3 tactical approach created waypoints (e.g. TA01, TA02, or RWY THR
WPT) are the “TO” waypoint, and, then entering a “/” in the scratchpad and line selecting this to the key next to
the RWY THR WPT (e.g. MAP) waypoint of the flight plan.
2. For the inactive flight plan, entering a “/” in the scratchpad and line selecting this to the key next to the RWY
THR WPT (e.g. MAP) waypoint of the inactive flight plan.
1. This is achieved by going to the TACTICAL APPR page via any means (e.g. entering /A on top of the
tactical approach MAP on the LEGS page or via the DES+SAR or TACTICAL page 2/4) and changing the
desired tactical approach parameter(s) only when the "TO" waypoint is not part of the entered tactical
approach procedure (e.g. the "TO" waypoint is not TA01, TA02, or MAP).
2. In order to modify a tactical approach which exists in the active flight plan when the active (e.g. TO)
waypoint is a tactical approach procedure waypoint (e.g. either the TA01, TA02, or MAP), the operator will
need to either:
• move the tactical approach procedure downpath by means of a DIRECT TO and then modify the tactical
approach (as described in 1 just above), or
• close-up the tactical approach (e.g. select a waypoint downpath of the tactical approach FAF and bring
this waypoint before the tactical approach procedure in the flight plan). After this the operator can
access the tactical approach procedure via DES+SAR or TACTICAL page 2/4 to make any necessary
changes.
If a tactical approach was created, it can be deleted from the FMS by performing any of the following:
The above statement also holds true for the following scenario:
When performing an FMS cold-start on ground if the DEST field on the RTE page was a tactical approach
destination.
NOTE: That when this occurs, upon power-up following the long-term power interruption, the ORIG field of the
RTE page will be set equal to the value that existed in the DEST field prior to the power interruption
(e.g. it will be set equal to the RWY THR WPT identifier). The DEST field will then be reset to its blank
default value.
This is done to allow the ORIGin field to already be preset for a subsequent departure from the tactical
approach landing site.
1. In a single FMS installation, by selecting the ERASE RTEx prompt on the RTE x 1/2 page.
CALCULATED AIR RELEASE POINT (CARP) AND HIGH ALTITUDE RELEASE POINT (HARP) (If
configured)
NOTE: Hereafter, unless specifically mentioned references to ‘Calculated Air Release Point’ or ‘CARP’ also
includes and pertains to the following procedures: Custom HARP, Custom HAHO, Free Fall.
The Calculated Air Release Point function is a tactical function used for air drops of personnel, cargo, or heavy
equipment. In the FMS, the CARP procedure is defined as a series of six legs/waypoints, as shown in the following
figure, five of which are calculated by the FMS:
1. Identification Point (IP) - Optional user-defined waypoint that may be used as a reference for a Mark on Top
operation.
2. Turn Point (TP) - FMS computed waypoint used to align the aircraft along the track of the drop zone. The TP-
SD leg is a turn such that the track becomes the same direction as the landing zone and the wings are level
upon reaching the slow-down point.
3. Slowdown Point (SD) - FMS computed waypoint used to signal to the pilot that the altitude and speed must be
changed to the CARP target altitude and speed. The SD-CRP leg is along the same track as the drop zone
and its length is computed to allow the aircraft sufficient time to reach the target altitude and speed prior to
reaching CARP.
4. CARP Point (CRP) - FMS computed waypoint indicating that the drop may begin; green light indication. This
waypoint is computed using the provided Point of Impact and Ballistics parameters.
5. Extended Trailing Edge (XTE) Point - FMS computed waypoint indicating the drops must cease; red light
indication. The direction and length of the CRP-XTE leg are the same as the drop zone.
6. Escape Point (ESC) - FMS computed waypoint indicating the aircraft may now change track and proceed with
the following waypoint. This waypoint is computed from the escape time and speed during the drop.

STATUS MEANING
INDICATION
(blank) The CARP procedure is not active.
ACTIVE A CARP procedure is in the active flight plan and the active waypoint in the flight plan is a
CARP procedure waypoint or less than 20 minutes remain to the CARP green light (CRP).
NEAR CARP The CARP mode is active and the A/C is less than 60 seconds before arrival at the CRP
waypoint (green light).
AT CARP The CARP mode is active and the A/C is less than 5 seconds before arrival at the CRP
waypoint (green light).
DROP ZONE The CARP mode is active and the A/C is within the CARP drop zone. This state begins
0.5 seconds before arriving at the CRP waypoint (green light).
ESCAPE The CARP mode is active and the A/C is beyond the CARP drop zone and prior to the
Escape (ESC) waypoint.
ATK DISTANCE (2L): Along Track Distance (nm) to the CRP green light or XTE or ESC waypoint along the
path defined by the flight plan. Prior to reaching the CARP green light, the distance displayed is that to the
CARP green light waypoint. During the drop (after the CRP waypoint has sequenced), the distance displayed is
that to the XTE waypoint. This field is not displayed when CARP procedure is not yet in the active flight plan.
Range [0...99.9]. '*' symbols are displayed when ATK exceeds the range.
XTK DISTANCE (2R): Cross Track Offset (feet) from the desired path line defined by the CRP (Green Light)
point and the XTE(RedLight) point as computed by the FMS. Field not displayed when CARP procedure not yet
in flight plan. Range [0...9999]. “****” is displayed when XTK exceeds the range.
CARP ETE (3L): Estimated Time (sec) EnRoute (ETE) to CRP (green light) waypoint or XTE (red light) once
CRP has been sequenced or ESC once XTE is sequenced. The “CARP” indication changes to “XTE” upon
sequencing the CRP waypoint. The “XTE” indication changes to “ESC” upon sequencing XTE.
CARP ETA (3R): Estimated Time of Arrival in (hhmm:ss) at CRP (green light) waypoint, or XTE (Red Light)
once CRP has been sequenced or ESC once XTE has been sequenced.
TARGET TAS (4R): Target True Air Speed (kt). Only displayed after crossing the Slow-Down (SD) waypoint or
less than 60 seconds remain to the CRP waypoint, at which point the TAS derived from the Mission IAS is
displayed. Once the TAS used for the CRP waypoint calculations is frozen, this frozen TAS value is then
displayed until the CARP procedure is terminated.
TARGET ALT (4R): Target altitude (feet). Only displayed after crossing the Slow-Down (SD) waypoint or less
than 60 seconds remain to the CRP waypoint, at which point the altitude derived from the Mission HAT is
displayed. . Once the altitude used for the CRP waypoint calculations is frozen, this frozen altitude value is then
displayed until the CARP procedure is terminated.
CARP PLAN [6L]: If a CARP procedure is defined in the active flight plan, accesses the CARP PLAN 1/3 page;
otherwise, the field is not shown.
CARP MARK [6R]: Equivalent to pressing CARP MARK on the TMP UPDATE POS page. The TMP UPDATE
POS page is displayed, and the flight plan is set to MOD state displaying the ERASE prompt and illuminating
the EXEC key. The IP point is displayed as the reference position, the offset from the reference is R0ft. While
the CARP is not active or CARP waypoint positions are frozen or NO CARP SOLUTION is being displayed, the
CARP MARK text disappears and pressing this LSK has no effect.
NOTE: Except for CURRENT TAS and CURRENT ALT, values are only displayed when a CARP procedure is
in the active flight plan.
NOTE: The accuracy of the fields of this page, including the “status indicator” is in accordance with the update
rate of the FMS pages, e.g. 1 second. Better accuracy is obtained via the status advisory messages and
the “AT CARP” discrete output.
The following table presents normal events and actions related to CARP procedures. The ordering is typical, but
may vary based on the entered geometry, mission, and ballistic parameters.
The FMS monitors the altitude, speed, and cross-track error during a CARP procedure. The altitude and speed
errors are obtained using the entered mission Indicated Air Speed (IAS) and Height Above Terrain (HAT) values
on the CARP PLAN pages. The errors may be sub-divided in three areas, per the following figure:
1000
150
-50 -20 A 20 50
-150
TAS
Error
B (kts)
-1000
Figure 11- 14
B. At one minute from the CRP waypoint, the alert message “CARP ALT NOT MET” or “CARP TAS NOT MET”
is raised. The message is displayed until the error is removed.
NOTE: At 10 seconds prior to reaching the CRP waypoint, the TARGET TAS and ALTITUDE (seen on the
CARP PROGRESS page) are updated to the current TAS and altitude, if the NO CARP SOLUTION
message is not present. For the case when the NO CARP SOLUTION message is present, the
TARGET TAS and ALTITUDE will remain to the last target values prior to the NO CARP SOLUTION
message appearing.
The alert message(s) is, however, still displayed if the error condition persists, leaving the operator
the choice to continue the mission or not. CARP advisory messages and remote annunciators are
provided as usual, allowing the operation to continue.
C. At one minute from the CRP waypoint, the alert messages “CARP ALT NOT MET” or “CARP TAS NOT
MET”, and “NO CARP SOLUTION” are raised. If the situation is corrected prior to 10 seconds to CRP, then
the situation reverts to A or B; otherwise, “NO CARP SOLUTION” remains until the CARP procedure is
terminated.
Whilst “NO CARP SOLUTION” is displayed, the standard CARP advisories and the AT CARP remote
annunciator are disabled. This alert message may also be raised if not in the inertial navigation mode (e.g.
due to inertial sensors inputs being lost), or baro-altitude or baro-correction input is lost.
The “NO CARP SOLUTION” message will also be displayed if equipment failures preclude a valid CARP
solution computation and a valid offside FMS CARP solution is not available.
The “CARP XTK TOO LARGE” message will be displayed if the aircraft is flying the CARP procedure
between the CRP (Green Light) and XTE (Red Light) waypoints and the cross-track error is larger than half
the drop zone width, as was defined in the CARP PLAN 1/3 page. CARP advisory messages and remote
annunciators are provided as usual, allowing the operation to continue.
The FMS will automatically terminate the CARP procedure once the ESC waypoint is sequenced. It is also
possible to exit CARP with a direct-to or close up operation on the LEGS page and then pressing EXEC. The
procedure may also be directly deleted from the flight plan if any of its waypoints is not the active waypoint.
CARP RE-ENTRY
To abort and re-enter a CARP procedure, it is required to perform the following steps:
1. Exit the last CARP procedure (as indicated above). The EXEC key does not have to be pressed.
2. Re-initiate the CARP procedure at the first waypoint location of the flight plan. Refer to Section 11,
INITIATION OF A CARP PROCEDURE for more details.
3. The FMS will retain all the previously entered CARP PLAN values, requiring only the EXEC key to be
pressed.
The FMS allows for entry of forecast winds at 4 different flight levels in order to compute a more accurate CARP
lateral profile.
If a CARP flight plan already exists, then entering CARP winds is applied to the modified flight plan.
In the absence of any entered wind data, the CARP procedure will assume that no wind exists at the CRP
(green light) waypoint.

2. Flight level entries shown numerical decreasing order on positions LSK 1L to 4L.
3. Once confirmed, a specific wind level entry can be deleted using the CLR key and then line selecting to the
desired flight level.
Details on CARP wind entry are provided on the WIND 1/1 page as outlined in Appendix A.
Various cockpit display systems also support displaying the FMS CARP target speed target. For these display
systems, the CARP target speed will only come into view after sequencing the slowdown waypoint of the CARP
flight plan procedure.
In order to ensure continued and stable operation during the CARP drop, one minute prior to the first CARP
procedure waypoint, the FMS will automatically switch to Inertial Navigation mode.
The accuracy of the Inertial at that time will depend on the accuracy and time of its last update. If GPS or
DME/DME or VOR/DME navigation modes were active prior to the switch to Inertial, then the accuracy of the
latter will depend on the accuracy of the previously active FMS mode and the time elapsed since it was
available; the FMS performs corrections to its computed inertial position based on the position drift that existed
when it exited these modes. If only Inertial mode was previously active, then the accuracy will depend on the
time elapsed since the last position update and its accuracy. The accuracy of the active navigation mode may
be viewed on the UPDATE POS 1/2 page.
A "temporary" update used to implement a coordinate frame shift of CARP flight plan waypoint positions from a
local coordinate system to the coordinate system used by the CMA-9000. This is useful when the aircraft is
flying in a region where the local terrain map/database being used is very precise relative to some local
Identification Point (IP) landmark (e.g. bearing and distance to local IP are accurate) but the latitude and
longitude coordinates of the IP are inaccurate/offset with respect to that used by the CMA-9000. Temporary
position offsets strictly apply to CARP procedure waypoints, and the update may only be performed when CARP
is active (the active waypoint is a CARP procedure waypoint or 20 minutes remain to the CARP green light).
This update is performed using a mark on top operation (CARP MARK). When a temporary position offset is
active, the OFST annunciator is illuminated and the EHSI/EFIS indicates POS OFST (or some other appropriate
indication that a position offset is currently active in the FMS’s flight plan).
For CARP mark on top operations, the CARP MARK prompt must be pressed while a reference position is flown
over or abeam. When flying near the waypoint, the user may specify a relative bearing/range or cross-track
offset, which may be obtained from radar or other sensor providing bearing/range data.
Functionality of the CARP temporary position update is described in this section and makes specific references
to the TMP UPDATE POS page; however, additional details on the TMP UPDATE POS page are provided in
Appendix A.
When the CARP status is ACTIVE and there is at least a period of 10 seconds before reaching the CRP (green
light) waypoint and a CARP solution exists (e.g. the NO CARP SOLUTION scratchpad message is not being
annunciated), then the CARP MARK prompt appears on both the TMP UPDATE POS page and CARP
PROGRESS page.

When the CARP MARK prompt is available, perform the following to apply a temporary position update to the
CARP procedure:
1. Ensure that either the CARP PROGRESS page or the TMP UPDATE POS page is in view.
NOTE: That the TMP UPDATE POS page should be set to show the appropriate REF ID field. Typically,
the REF ID is the IP (Identification Point) waypoint when this optional waypoint has been defined as
part of the CARP procedure.
2. As the aircraft flies over or abeam to the known position, press the CARP MARK prompt (on either the TMP
UPDATE POS or CARP PROGRESS page).
The displayed data corresponds to the position when the CARP MARK prompt was selected.
3. At LSK 1R, enter the desired relative bearing/distance or crosstrack offset at to the known position, as
applicable.
2. A direct-to is performed, or
4. A manual CANCEL UPDATE operation is performed. This may only be performed while the CARP waypoint
positions are not frozen (e.g. before 10 seconds to CRP).
The CANCEL UPDATE feature strictly applies to CARP temporary position updates.

• Beacon identifier (ELTxx, PLBxx, EPIxx or TSTxx where xx=01...99 or ** if greater than 99).
• Age since last reception of beacon signal.
• Bearing/distance relative to the REF ID (default is present position of aircraft).
The reference identifier (REF ID) can be set to any reference waypoint of the FMS.
Access to details on a specific beacon is achieve by pressing the associated LSK (in this example LSK 1L).
When many beacons are received by the FMS (e.g. maximum of 8 beacons), all beacons are presented on that
page.
In order to uncluttered the EFIS & DMAP displays, the operator can define which beacon received are to be
displayed on EFIS & DMAP; this is done by:
1. Defining if the received beacon needs to be displayed or not (setting is done from the detail beacon page
named SARSAT DATA page).
2. Toggling the display selection from LSK 6L; toggle option are SELECTION or ALL.
If required, all beacons can be deleted via the DELETE ALL option.
Once a specific COSPAS/SARSAT beacon has been selected, the following information from it is available:
• Define if the received beacon needs to be displayed or not on the EFIS & DMAP (via the DISPLAY ON/OFF
prompt).
• Return to the previous page (via the SARSAT WPT prompt).
• Define the SARSAT beacon as the Bulls Eye target (via the BULLS TGT prompt).
• Create a new user waypoint as the SARSAT beacon (via the NEW USER WPT prompt).
• Perform search and rescue or any other tactical navigation to the SARSAT beacon (via the DES+SAR or
TACTICAL prompt).
If configured, the Galileo Avionic ATOS LW equipment (Airborne Tactical Observation and Surveillance System –
Light Weight) and/or FIAR 1500B RADAR equipment can transfer to the FMS a target position upon operator
selection. The operator can subsequently use this position just like any other waypoint (e.g. it can be used to
create a user waypoint; it can be used as the reference ID waypoint for search and rescue operations; it can be
used as the holding pattern entry fix, etc.)
Reception by the FMS of a new target position from either the ATOS or RADAR is communicated to the flight crew
by displaying the NEW TARGET POSITION status advisory scratchpad message.
The operator can then access the newly received position by going to the MISSION page. When the ATOS and/or
RADAR is configured this page can viewed by selecting the MISSION prompt on page INIT/REF INDEX 1/2

The MISSION then shows the latest received target positions from the ATOS and/’or RADAR equipment. The last
target position received (either from the ATOS or RADAR equipment) will show the time it was received by the
FMS in inverse white video font.

When there is no data in the scratchpad, selection of this key will create a temporary waypoint with the Radar
Target or the ATOS Target position (the most recent one received is selected) and the temporary waypoint ID is
entered in the REF ID field of the DES+SAR 1/Y (or TACTICAL 1/Y) page. When there is a valid position in the
scratchpad, selection of this key will create a temporary waypoint and enter temporary waypoint identifier in the
REF ID field of the DES+SAR 1/Y (or TACTICAL 1/Y) page.
When the inactive route is in modification, instead of accessing the DES+SAR 1/Y (or TACTICAL 1/Y) page, this
prompt gives access to the INACT DES+SAR 1/X 1/Y (or INACT TACTICAL 1/Y) page.
CAUTION: It is the crew’s responsibility to ensure that the appropriate Target Position (Radar or ATOS) is
selected (time in inverse video white) before creating a new user waypoint or accessing the
DES+SAR page. Thus, the recommended practice would be to first transfer the desired target
waypoint position to the scratchpad (e.g: by line-selecting LSK 1L/1R or LSK 2L/2R) and then
creating with this position either a new user waypoint (by selecting NEW USER WPT at LSK 6L) or
by transferring the selected target position to the DES+SAR page (by selecting DES+SAR at LSK
6R).
Upon operator request, the ATOS can transfer mission flight plan waypoints to the FMS that the FMS then loads
into its inactive route. Up to maximum of 99 waypoints can be transferred to the FMS.

The FMS will then store the received mission waypoints from the ATOS in its inactive route.
Upon successful mission data transfer from the ATOS, the FMS will create, in the inactive route, origin and
destination airports with the following priority:
• the FMS will use the origin and destination airports currently in the active route (if any are defined), or,
• the FMS will create an origin airport named "ORIG" with the coordinates of the first mission data waypoint
received from the ATOS and a destination airport named "DEST" with the coordinates of the last mission data
waypoint received from the ATOS.
When the ATOS is configured, the FMS continuously transmits its active flight plan waypoints (up to a maximum
of 81) to the ATOS equipment.
When the FIAR 1500B RADAR is configured, the FMS continuously transmits (up to) the first 10 active flight
plan waypoints* to the FIAR 1500B RADAR equipment.
* active flight plan waypoints transmitted to the RADAR also include those waypoints that are not seen as actual
waypoints on the LEGS page, such as procedural type waypoints. For example, SAR pattern waypoints do not
appear on the LEGS page (only the first waypoint of the SAR pattern appears) but each of the waypoints
comprising the SAR pattern would be seen on the RADAR ID X-REF 1/1 page.
The operator can cross-reference the FMS waypoints that are transmitted to the EFIS (GAMA) with those seen
on the RADAR’s display by viewing the RADAR ID X-REF 1/1 page.

SECTION 12
NAVIGATION SENSORS
GENERAL
The CMA-9000 FMS includes the following navigation modes, in decreasing priority order: Hybrid GPS/INS,
GPS (cGPS/mGPS when dual GPS is configured with Litton LN-100GT EGI), DME/DME, VOR/DME/TACAN,
Hybrid INS/DVS, Inertial, DVS, KALMAN and Dead Reckoning. If one or several equipment supporting a
navigation mode is not configured, then only a sub-set of the above mentioned navigation modes will be
available.
Transition from one mode to another is automatic. Manual deselection of all the navigation modes is also
possible using the DESELECT 1/1 page (as described in Section 15).
NOTE: Applicable if an external GPS is configured but not applicable to a hybrid INS/GPS sensor installation
described in section EGI NAVIGATION.
The GPS sensor uses independent channels and can track any combination of GPS satellites. The GPS sensor
computes and outputs three-dimensional position and velocity components, time, ground speed, and track.
Both code and carrier phase tracking are used. Carrier phase tracking greatly reduces position and velocity
errors under highly dynamic aircraft manoeuvres.
The GPS sensor continuously monitors satellite health. All unhealthy satellites are dropped from the position
solution. In addition, all GPS signals-in-space used in the position solution are checked for failure by a Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitor (RAIM). It is understood that satellite failures are unannounced and can occur at
any instant. The RAIM continuously calculates the horizontal (HIL) and vertical integrity limits. The integrity limit
gives the radius in the horizontal plane and vertical direction within which the worst-case radial position error will
stay 99.99999% of the time without a satellite failure, and 99.9% of the time in the presence of a satellite failure.
The HIL is compared in the CMA-9000 FMS to the value required for the phase of flight (alert limit), and an alert
is generated when the integrity value exceeds the alert limit. Alert limits are described in Section 15, RNP
Capability Modification.
Furthermore, when the FMS also has available to it a backup sensor, the FMS will use the GPS to backup
sensor position error and backup sensor accuracy in computing a NAIM (Non-Autonomous Receiver Monitor)
HIL value which gets used in determining the GPS navigator’s overall Navigation Performance.
The RAIM function maximises the availability of the oceanic, en-route, terminal, non-precision approach while
guaranteeing the integrity as described above.
When GPS is the sensor used for navigation and the HIL (Horizontal Integrity Limit) is within the phase of flight
limit, the GPS HIL is displayed as the Actual Navigation Performance (ANP) value on the PROGRESS 1/4 (or
PROGRESS 1/3) page. The HIL is displayed on the GPS STATUS 2/2 page.
The combination of a GPS INT annunciator as well as an alert message GPS NAV LOST provides an indication
between the loss of FDE (Failure Detection and Exclusion) availability and the loss of navigation.
The GPS sensor requires a minimum of four satellites for navigation, five satellites to allow integrity monitoring
and the detection of a failed satellite, and six or more satellites to identify and exclude (isolate) the failed satellite
from the navigation solution. No operator action is required to accomplish satellite failure detection and
exclusion (FDE) as these functions are automatic. Provided adequate signal-to-noise levels exist, any satellite
with an elevation angle of 2° or more above the antenna's local horizon can be acquired, and once acquired, it
will be tracked to an elevation angle of 0° above the horizon.
Typical time-to-first-fix (TTFF) values are 55 seconds (initialized) and 120 seconds (un-initialized, e.g. search-
the-sky mode). Satellite re-acquisition after signal loss is typically 5 seconds. When a sufficient number of
satellites that has been acquired, the GPS sensor enters navigation mode and outputs the required data to the
CMA-9000 FMS.
There are no data entries on these pages. For additional information refer to Appendix A.

For installations where a dual GPS is configured with the Litton LN-100GT EGI, the FMS will also support a
military GPS navigation mode (shown as mGPS on the FMS’s POS/INIT/REF 2/X page).
In such installations when the navigation sensor cross-check option is enabled, the FMS uses a weighting logic
algorithm to compare the position provided by the military GPS to both:
• the position provided by the hybrid INS/GPS sensor of the EGI; and
• the position provided by the civil GPS sensor
Results of this comparison will trigger related alert messages to inform the crew of the position differences and
ensuing navigator changes.
EGI NAVIGATION
The GPS sensor and INS complementary nature provide reliable and precise navigation even if the GPS
constellation geometry does not provide enough integrity for the route being flown.
The EGI provides a hybrid output that combines the INS and GPS outputs through a Kalman filter. This output
provides a weighted contribution of the INS and of the GPS position. When the GPS signal and constellation
geometry are adequate, the output is based on the GPS position. When the GPS signal quality degrades, the
EGI outputs in a progressive manner, with more of the INS contribution in the solution. In general, the
contribution of the INS drift, when the geometry is not optimal it remains small and allows the segment of the
route to be flown seamlessly.
In addition to the hybrid INS/GPS the EGI also provides a pure GPS and a pure INS position solutions.
The CMA-9000 FMS reverts to the pure GPS position or to another sensor when the quality factor or integrity of
the INS/GPS has degraded below what is required for the phase of flight. In this case the CMA-9000 FMS may
select the pure GPS or pure INS position (available with the Litton LN-100 GT EGI) if the remaining sensors are
not fit for navigation. Refer to General at the beginning of this Section.
The message "INS/GPS POS UNCERTAIN" or "GPS POS UNCERTAIN" is turned on if the CMA-9000 FMS is
forced to continue to use the hybrid INS/GPS or the respective GPS sensor. This happens when the GPS
position has lost integrity and there is no valid backup radio navigation sensor (DME/DME or VOR/DME).
In addition to the INS and GPS navigation mode, the SAGEM SIGMA50H EGI provides a hybrid INS/DVS
navigation solution, which is described below. The CMA-9000 FMS selects this solution according to the same
sensor selection criteria.
The GPS sensor in the EGI follows the same general behaviour as described above in Sub-Section, GPS
Navigation.
There are no data entries on these pages except for the INS STATUS page when in ALIGN mode. For
additional information refer to Appendix A.

navigation modes are unavailable or not adequate for the phase of flight. For additional information refer to
Section 1.
The EGI INS/DVS navigation mode is based on a hybrid solution based on INS position and DVS velocity.
The SAGEM EGI provides a hybrid output, which combines the INS and DVS solutions. This output provides a

POSITION UPDATE
This section describes the procedure to update the INS or the DVS position with the CMA-9000 FMS-computed
or other known positions. It is applicable for the INS/GPS, INS/DVS, and pure inertial or DVS modes.
NOTE: For the SIGMA50H EGI, a manual update of the INS/DVS will automatically update the INS/GPS, and
vice-versa.
The following procedures are based on an installation where the MARK function key has been
configured. For installations where the MARK key is not present, a MARK line select key is provided
in the UPDATE POS page (LSK 6R) and on the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page (LSK 4R).
UPDATE POS (LSK 6R) in the INS STATUS page or [INIT REF], <POS INIT> (LSK 2L) and <UPDATE
POS> (LSK 6R).
The PREDEF WPT 2/2 page is accessed by pressing the MARK function key, the MARK softkey from the
PREDEF WPT and the UPDATE POS pages (If configured) or from the weather radar or AHCAS EFIS Joystick.
For additional information refer to Section 11. Manual position update is performed by one of the following
methods:
1. Update by overfly and mark-on-top of a known position, Refer to Section 11, User Database. In this case the
UPDATE POS page has the REF field dashed (LSK 1L) and the CMA-9000 FMS position displayed (LSK
2R) corresponding to moment when the MARK key was pressed.
NOTE: The navigation mode from which the CMA-9000 FMS position is derived can be chosen by deselecting
the other modes on the DESELECT page. The PROGRESS or POS INIT pages indicate the current
CMA-9000 FMS navigation mode.
• The desired marked CMA-9000 FMS position can be replaced by another known position by entering
the position in the UPDATE POS field at LSK 2R.
• directly by bringing the position entered in the scratchpad
• indirectly with a waypoint ID at (LSK 1L), if desired add a distance/bearing offset at (LSK 1R).
• or by toggling (LSK 1L) to the CMA-9000 FMS or the joystick selection and selecting the
corresponding position.
• Press the MARK key.
• To cancel the position chosen for the update press UNMARK (LSK 6L).
• Select the sensors (INS/DVS (LSK 4L) or DVS (LSK 5L) for which a position update is required.
• Press CONFIRM (LSK 6R). The CMA-9000 FMS then updates the selected navigators with the position
indicated in the UPDATE POS field. Press CANCEL (LSK 6L) if no update is desired.
2. Update by Weather Radar/EFIS AHCAS joystick position selection {when configured}, refer to Section 11,
User Database. In this case the UPDATE POS page has the JOYSTICK as reference and the position
displayed on LSK 2R corresponds to the time when the joystick position was received.
• The desired joystick position can be replaced by another known position by entering the position in the
UPDATE POS field at LSK 2R.
• directly from the TRUE JOY POS (LSK 3R) via the scratchpad if a position was already entered
(toggle LSK 1L until joystick position appears).
• or indirectly with a waypoint ID at (LSK 3L). If the ID for the waypoint is in the database then the
corresponding Lat/Long true joystick position is displayed at LSK 3R. Press LSK 3R to copy this
position in the scratchpad, then LSK 2R to replace the UPDATE POS.
• Press MARK key.
• To cancel the update press the UNMARK (LSK 6L).
• Select the sensors (INS/DVS or DVS) for which a position update is required.
• Press CONFIRM. The CMA-9000 FMS then updates the selected navigators with the position indicated
in the UPDATE POS field.

modes are unavailable or not adequate for the phase of flight. For additional information refer to Section 1.
DME/DME is used in areas with sufficient DME coverage and for which the appropriate navigation database is
installed. In this mode the CMA-9000 FMS automatically tunes the on-board DME equipment acquiring distance
from up to six DME or TACAN ground stations to determine aircraft position.
CAUTION: In DME/DME or VOR/DME modes when a VOR or a DME station is lost or acquired the FMS
system may sense a position change. This situation is similar to when the FMS switches between
navigation modes (GPS, DME/DME, VOR/DME, inertial, DR, etc.) when the integrity of a mode is
not satisfied.
When the FMS is coupled to the autopilot, this newly sensed cross track error causes lateral
steering command and an aircraft heading change as the FMS/autopilot attempts to intercept and
capture the recalculated desired track. This autopilot manoeuvre is proportionate with the calculated
track error and may be judged severe by the pilot. In this case, the pilot should disconnect the
autopilot and ensure correct flight path control, smooth out the correction to, and interception of, the
new calculated track.
The DME page displays those stations used by the CMA-9000 FMS in DME navigation. A total of six DME
stations may be used to determine the aircraft's position. At least three stations are required to navigate in
DME/DME mode.
1. Display the DME STATUS 1/X page via the NAV STATUS INDEX 1/1 page.
2. This page displays the DME stations used by the CMA-9000 FMS for DME navigation, the frequencies
tuned, and the slant range distances. Associated with each station is a status that indicates the following:
"REJ" : station not used in determining a position fix (rejected due to bad geometry).
" " : station used for DME navigation.
"N/A" : station not responding to tuning.
In some situations, the operator may choose to deselect a DME station due to known problems with the station
so as to prevent the CMA-9000 FMS from using this station in its DME station selection process for DME
navigation. To deselect a DME station, proceed as follows:
1. From the DME STATUS 1/1 page, press <DME DESEL> (LSK 6R).

Up to a maximum of 25 stations may be deselected. Press [NEXT] or [PREV] keys to view all DME stations
deselected.
Insertion of more than 5 stations is achieved by moving a station entered in the scratchpad to any of the line
select key locations 1 through 5.
2. Key the DME station identifier into the scratchpad and insert the station into the DESELECTION list by
pressing the appropriate LSK.
To remove a deselected DME navaid from the DME DESELECTION list, proceed as follows:
VOR/DME/TACAN Navigation is selected for use by the CMA-9000 FMS when higher priority navigation modes
are unavailable or not adequate for the phase of flight. For additional information refer to Section 1.
The CMA-9000 FMS uses the VOR or TACAN radial bearing in conjunction with a DME or TACAN slant range
from a manually tuned VOR/DME and/or TACAN stations to compute a VOR/DME/TACAN-based position.
At least one VOR/DME or TACAN station, up to a maximum of two VOR/DME and one TACAN stations, must
be tuned to compute the position.
CAUTION: In DME/DME or VOR/DME modes when a VOR or a DME station is lost or acquired the FMS
system may sense a position change. This situation is similar to when the FMS switches between
navigation modes (GPS, DME/DME, VOR/DME, inertial, DR, etc.) when the integrity of a mode is
not satisfied.
When the FMS is coupled to the autopilot, this newly sensed cross track error causes lateral
steering command and an aircraft heading change as the FMS/autopilot attempts to intercept and
capture the recalculated desired track. This autopilot manoeuvre is proportionate with the calculated
track error and may be judged severe by the pilot. In this case, the pilot should disconnect the
autopilot and ensure correct flight path control, smooth out the correction to, and interception of, the
new calculated track.
The VOR/DME/TCN STATUS 1/1 page displays those stations used for VOR/DME/TACAN navigation.
1. Display the VOR/DME/TCN STATUS 1/1 page via the NAV STATUS INDEX 1/1 page.
2. The station identifier, tuned frequency, station radial, and slant range distance are displayed for every
equipment configured. When there are no stations listed, the station identifier will display blanks. When
there is no equipment configured, all the above fields will display blanks.
NOTE: In the case of a TACAN operating in AA TR or AA REC mode the TACAN identifier (line 3) is not
displayed.
3. The calculated position is also displayed when valid Navaid data is available.
NOTE: The title of this page varies with the installation. If no TACAN is configured the title is VOR/DME
STATUS. If only a TACAN is configured then the title is TACAN STATUS.
6L <NAV STATUS 6R
The purpose of the DVS mode is to provide a stand-alone navigation solution for use when higher priority
navigation modes are unavailable or not adequate for the phase of flight. Refer to Section 1.
If the CMA-9000 FMS is configured for military navigation reversion to the DVS navigation mode is automatic
upon loss of higher priority modes of navigation.
If the CMA-9000 FMS is configured for civil use the DVS navigation solution is considered without integrity and
the corresponding navigation mode will be given the lowest priority.
Depending on the DVS installed in the aircraft, the CMA-9000 FMS will receive and process x and y velocity
data which, when combined with heading and attitude allows the CMA-9000 FMS to compute the aircraft
position, ground speed, altitude, status and maintenance data.
When the DVS navigation solution is available the DVS calculated position with respect to the CMA-9000 FMS
position is available on the POS INIT REF 2/2.

NOTE: Applies only if this function is configured. This function is mutually exclusive with the GPS/INS function
described in Section EGI Navigation mode.
The purpose of the KALMAN sensor interface is to provide a stand-alone inertial navigation mode for use when
stand-alone GPS navigation and radio navigation are not possible.
Navigation mode automatically reverts to inertial upon loss of GPS and radio navigation.
The CMA-9000 FMS is using the Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), and the GPS to provide a
KALMAN Filter navigation mode. In this mode, the primary navigation sensor is the GPS receiver. The AHRS is
used as a dead-reckoning navigation system by emulating an Inertial Navigation System (INS) with a KALMAN
Filter performing closed-loop GPS based correction and alignment of the INS position. Each sensor has specific
performance characteristics and behaviour which, when combined, provide for continuous navigation whenever
the GPS is not available. The GPS receiver has bounded but noisy positioning and velocity errors and the GPS
navigation solution is subject to the availability of the GPS satellite constellation. The AHRS exhibits steady
error growth which, when converted to a dead-reckoning system, will yield steady error growth in the position
and velocity navigation solution. The AHRS-based inertial navigation solution is always available when the GPS
position is lost. The noise characteristic of the AHRS determines the amount of time this position can be safely
used for navigation.
The KALMAN Filter is providing the means to combine both navigation modes so that accurate navigation can
continue for some time after the GPS is lost. The amount of time available will depend on the performance of
the AHRS used (typically 2 minutes). The GPS and the AHRS are integrated via a KALMAN Filter and the
KALMAN Filter is used to continuously correct and align the AHRS-based inertial navigation solution, as if the
inertial navigation solution were static at a known position point. The block diagram is as follows:
INS GPS
P ii P ii
CMA-9000
AHRS
Data
INS Kalman
Correction
The KALMAN Filter models the evolution of the AHRS errors according to the AHRS model. As long as GPS
can provide measurement data with integrity, the AHRS errors can be continuously estimated and corrected in
the emulated INS navigator. However, once there is no GPS data, the true AHRS errors (as seen at the INS
emulator output) and the KALMAN Filter estimates of these errors will begin to diverge. The rate of divergence
is a direct result of the AHRS quality - worse the AHRS quality, the quicker the INS navigator will diverge from
the true GPS position. Also the GPS receiver will calibrate the INS emulator to the GPS accuracy.
The KALMAN Filtered navigation mode is available 1 minute after power is applied. If power is interrupted for
greater than 50 msec then the KALMAN Filter is re-initialized.
There are no data entries on this page. For additional information refer to Appendix A.

6L <NAV STATUS 6R
The purpose of the FMS/inertial sensors interface is to provide a stand-alone inertial navigation mode for use
when stand-alone GPS navigation and radio navigation are not possible.
Reversion to the inertial navigation mode is automatic upon loss of GPS and radio navigation.
Depending on the inertial sensors installed in the aircraft, the FMS will receive and process ARINC 704/571/419
inertial data which may include position, ground speed, altitude, E-W and N-S inertial velocities, baro-inertial
altitude, true and synthetic magnetic heading, status and maintenance data.
The inertial navigation mode is based on the FMS-calculated mixed inertial position, track and ground speed.
The mixed inertial position is computed as a weighted average of the three inertial sensor positions.
When in GPS or DME navigation mode and the ANP is within the phase of flight limit, each FMS calculates a
bias vector between its system position and the mixed inertial position.
When the inertial navigation mode becomes active, the mixed inertial position is corrected with the bias vector in
order to prevent large FMS position change.
The actual navigation performance (ANP) of the mixed inertial position is derived from the inertial drift rate, the time
elapsed since inertial navigation mode became active, and the system ANP when the inertial navigation mode
became active. The FMS computes an inertial ANP based on a drift rate of 2 nautical miles per hour of inertial
navigation.

• When the IRS is in ALIGN mode and GPS has integrity, each FMS automatically initializes its onside IRS.
• When the IRS is in ALIGN mode and GPS integrity is not available, the IRS initialization must be
commanded by the crew by entering aircraft present position into the SET IRS POSITION field of the POS
INIT page. Upon pilot entry of latitude and longitude, the FMS initializes its onside IRS and cross-talks the
initialization data to the other FMS(s). On receipt of the initialization data, the other FMS(s) automatically
initialize(s) its/their respective IRS.

When the system mixed inertial latitude exceeds 85 degrees N or S, the FMS will cease to compute a mixed
inertial position. The system inertial position will slowly transition to coincide with the position of the inertial
sensor closest to the mixed inertial position computed before the FMS present position latitude exceeded N-S
85 degrees.
The true heading, inertial track and ground speed information used by the FMS will be taken from the nearest
IRS. The other inertial sensor(s) will be automatically rejected. If the selected nearest inertial sensor fails, the
system will select the next nearest inertial sensor.
Upon an automatic rejection of an inertial sensor, the character string “REJ” will be displayed in lower case on
the POS REF 2/2 page, adjacent to the rejected sensor.
Upon aircraft position latitude is less than N-S 85 degrees, the rejected inertial sensor(s) will be automatically re-
enabled and the FMS will re-start the computation of the mixed inertial position, track and ground speed.

GENERAL
The CMA-9000 FMS offers primary or backup radio tuning of navigation and communication radios. It can
provide tuning for:
Tuning capabilities include active and standby frequency entry control of all radio modes (including self-test),
and a pilot entered library.
In certain installation architectures supporting multiple FMSs, the crew should attempt to tune the given radio
from any other installed FMS(s) if the original tuning attempt fails. This is valid, for example, when the FMS is
operating in independent mode (as confirmed by the INDEPENDENT OP alert message).
The CMA-9000 FMS provides control and display of the active/standby frequencies and settings of all the radios
interfaced on the RADIO Page. This page provides tuning entries and access to more detailed radio control
pages, where self-test and radio modes can be selected. Upon power-up, the CMA-9000 FMS reads from the
radios their current valid tuned frequencies and settings, or automatically tunes them to the frequencies and
settings used prior to the last power interruption. Two display formats are available for the RADIO top page: a
horizontal or a vertical presentation. In the horizontal display format, the active and standby frequencies are
displayed side by side. In the vertical display format, the active frequency is displayed on top of the standby
frequency.
For pilot convenience, the FMS provides library pages for memorized radio frequencies or channels. There is
one library for each of the following radio types: VHF, V/UHF, COM, NAV and ADF radio types
Each library allows for 99 entries. Preset numbers are unique numbers from 1 to 99. The maximum length of the
identifier is 5 characters. Identifiers do not need to be unique, but when tuning by identifier, only the first one
encountered in the library will be used. All libraries are password protected. Scanning and viewing is always
accessible. Changes to a library are allowed only when the library is unlocked.
This RADIO top page allows the pilot a variable number and mix of COM, NAV and Surveillance radios
depending on the operational needs (frequently used radios on first page, less used on second and positioned
on any line of a page). COM (VHF), NAV, ADF, VUHF, ATC, DF and Volume Control are supported.
The RADIO 1/X page can be configured as the default cold start power up page of the CMA-9000 FMS.
The CMA-9000 FMS provides alert mechanisms to inform the pilot of radio failures. Alerts messages are
displayed if radios fail or they are not responding to the tuning request.
Two frequencies/channels are displayed for each radio. When a new frequency/channel is entered, it is placed
to the right of the active frequency, in the stand-by position. The associated line select key toggles the stand-
by/active frequency/channel and vice-versa (when the scratchpad is empty).
The CMA-9000 FMS allows the user to select a frequency by entering one of the following elements in the
scratchpad and pressing the associated line select key:
• a preset number
• the identifier (for NAV radio: from the navigation database as 1st priority and from the radio library as 2nd
priority; for all other radios from the radio library as 1st priority)
• the frequency/channel value
If a valid preset number is entered, the corresponding frequency/channel (from the library) is displayed. Preset
or ident entries have priority over the frequency/channel when entered simultaneously according to the slash
rule (e.g. 01//122.5). In this case the frequency entered will be that of the corresponding preset or ident from the
library.
The CMA-9000 FMS provides a special awareness/status field located above the frequency line. The use of the
special awareness/status field is located in the detailed section of each radio. The status indicates the current
state of the radio.
The special awareness/status field is highlighted in the figure below for a typical radio.

The CMA-9000 FMS provides alert mechanisms to inform the pilot of radio failures. Warnings appear if radios
fail or they are not responding to the tuning request.
NOTE: Refer to the specific radio horizontal page description for details.
The CMA-9000 FMS displays all tuned active frequencies in large white font. During the tuning process the
active frequencies are displayed in large inverse white font. If the tuning operation is not successful they are
displayed in small amber font as a warning to the pilot.
The CMA-9000 FMS can be configured to allow burst tuning; either by CMA-9000 Display Panel entry or by a
dedicated radio control head.
The operating frequencies for the Navigation radios are defined in each respective radio section. The CMA-9000
FMS does not accept values out of range. An error message will appear in the scratchpad, if invalid entries are
made by the user.
In some installations, the tuning can be achieved either from the FMS or from a backup controller. If the radio
tuning is disabled from the FMS, entries made to the NAV or ADF radio(s) will generate an entry advisory
message (!RADIO TUNING DISABLED) to inform the pilot that he may no longer tune these radios from the
CMA-9000 FMS.
A frequency or channel can be selected by entering the desired value in the scratchpad and pressing the
associated line select key. These radios do not provide tuning validation.
The CMA-9000 FMS does not require trailing/leading zeros for frequency entry.
Generally, the CMA-9000 FMS displays all tuned active frequencies in large white font. During the tuning
process the active frequencies are displayed in large inverse white font. If the tuning operation is not successful
they are displayed in small amber font as a warning to the pilot. Exceptions to these are indicated within each
specific radio section.
In some installations, the tuning can be achieved either from the FMS or from a backup controller. If the radio
tuning is disabled from the FMS, entries made to the COM radio(s) will generate an entry advisory message
(!RADIO TUNING DISABLED) to inform the pilot that he may no longer tune these radios from the CMA-9000
FMS.
The operating frequencies for the Navigation and Communication radios are shown in the table below. An error
message will appear in the scratchpad if invalid entries are made.
The CMA-9000 FMS also provides with the capability to tune V/UHF radios. For a frequency in the VHF band,
the CMA-9000 FMS sets the modulation mode depending on the frequency band. For frequency in the UHF
band, the modulation mode is selectable by the user. The modulation mode and the frequency ranges to be
used are given in the following table.
NOTES:
(1) The upper limit of the COM radio is configurable. The possible values are 135.975, 136.975, 136.990 and
151.975 MHz.
(2) The legal range is from 190 kHz to 1860 kHz but the radio can tune outside this range. The performance is
not guaranteed for those frequencies. In addition the radio may tune from 2181 kHz to 2183 kHz for marine
distress frequencies.
(3) The COM radio frequencies with increments of 25 kHz
(4) The upper limit of the COM radio frequencies with increments of 8.33 kHz.
(5) Certain frequencies in the maritime band (156.000 - 173.975) can also be tuned by entering the
corresponding maritime channel number, e.g. for those frequencies which have an associated maritime
channel. When in the maritime mode, the FMS automatically commands the +/- 4.6 KHz spacing and the
radio will 'listen' on the offset frequency if such an associated offset exists for the entered maritime channel.
When the operator chooses to command a frequency instead of a maritime channel within this band, the +/-
4.6 KHz maritime offset request is not commanded by the FMS.
(6) All values in table are inclusive.
The CMA-9000 FMS also provides with the capability to tune HF radios with the following frequency ranges:

NOTE: The page layout can differ based on the number of radios installed and on which line they are
configured. There may be empty lines. If more than 6 radios are configured, another RADIO top page
2/x will be available. The acronyms of some type of radios are configurable items.
NOTE: It is also possible; for certain HF and V/UHF radios, to configure an external discrete which would inhibit
access to the dedicated radio’s FMS control pages. In such cases, FMS NOT IN CTRL will be displayed in
the field where the radio’s tuning information is normally displayed on this RADIO page. Access to the HF
and V/UHF dedicated radio pages is inhibited by removing the caret next to the radio’s name (as seen in
the example above at LSK3L and 4L).
When radio control is restored to the FMS for any of these radios, the HF and/or V/UHF’s the
settings/selections were made on the alternate control panel(s) will be reflected on the FMS.
The area of the RADIO 1/X page located between the preset/ident fields (e.g. just above the are
reserved for special awareness information pertaining to the specific radio(s).
Additionally, this area will display the FMS commanded radio power status for the IFF transponders
(e.g. text showing “OFF” will be displayed in the special awareness field when the IFF power control is
selected to OFF).
Details pertaining to a radio’s specific special awareness field are captured in the dedicated radio’s
section.
VHF1 [1R]: Display and modify the VHF active and standby frequencies/presets. Entry may be made to the
standby position only when a new value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it toggles active/standby

the standby position only when a new value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it toggles
active/standby frequencies.
When auto-tuning mode is active, an inverse video ‘A’ is displayed next to the active ident/preset. Auto-tuning
mode is entered by assigning “DELETE” (press the [CLR] key) to the NAV2 standby frequency. Returning to
manual tuning mode requires [“DELETE” (press the [CLR] key) to be assigned to the NAV2 standby frequency or
swapping of the active and standby NAV2 frequencies.
ATCx [5R]: Used to display and modify the ATC active and standby codes from the current active transponder
or from the last active transponder when toggled back to standby mode. Default value will be the primary
transponder at power-up (cold start) when both transponders are in standby mode.
NOTE: ATC Radio equipment name can be configured as “ATC”, “TPDR” or “XPDR". The case displayed
above is the “ATC” configuration.
When configured to prevent FMS tuning of the ATC transponder (ATC CONFIG 2/X LSK 5R) and the
MC_FAILED discrete input indicates that the Mission Computer is active, it will reject any data entry or
modification of the data (e.g. standby code) by displaying !MC IN CONTROL data advisory scratchpad
message.
VOL [6L]: Access to the Volume Control page when the FMS has control of the AMU.
VOL [6R]: Provides information as to which equipment (FMS/MC) has control over the AMU and displays the
specific radio volume level.
NOTE: The Volume control and status location can differ based on the number of radios and operator display
configuration preferences. [1L] / [2L] / [3L] / [4L] / [5L] are other possibilities where the Volume Control
could be located.
The following acronyms are used: CTL=Controller, C1=COM1, C2=COM2, IC=InterCom, N1=NAV1,
N2=NAV2.
IFF [6L]: Access to the IFF radio page. When IFF power is set to off from the RADIO PWR page, this line select

For the SRT-651/N-F radio, the possible status field indications are:
• EMER (in inverse white video): indicates Emergency 243 Guard Precedence is commanded
• GUARD (in inverse white video): indicates guard frequency is being tuned
• M-CST (normal white video): indicates maritime coast is active
• M-SHIP (normal white video): indicates maritime ship is active
• DF (normal white video): indicates V/UHF direction finder mode has been commanded ON
NOTE: EMER, GUARD, M-CST, and M-SHIP all appear in the same location in the status field and are thus
mutually exclusive of each other. The display priority of EMER and GUARD is higher than that of M-CST

This page allows the pilot to verify and modify the active frequencies for the COM, NAV, ADF, ATC, FM1(Fug8),
FM2(Fug9), UHF and/or VUHF (SRT-651/N-A only) radios.
The RADIO 1/X page can be configured as the default cold start power up page of the CMA-9000 FMS.
NOTE: The actual page generated by the system will depend on the Radio Equipment installed and configured
as well as the configured radio names.
Two frequencies/channels are displayed for each radio. When a new frequency/channel is entered, it is placed
below the active frequency, in the stand-by position. The associated line select key toggles the stand-by/active
frequency/channel and vice-versa (when the scratchpad is empty).
The CMA-9000 FMS allows the user to select a frequency by entering one of the following elements in the
scratchpad and pressing the associated line select key:
• a preset number
• the identifier (for NAV radio: from the navigation database as 1st priority and from the radio library as 2nd
priority; for all other radios from the radio library as 1st priority)
• the frequency/channel value
If a valid preset number is entered, the corresponding frequency/channel (from the library) is displayed. Preset
or ident entries have priority over the frequency/channel when entered simultaneously according to the slash
rule (e.g. 01//122.5). In this case the frequency entered will be that of the corresponding preset or ident from the
library.
The CMA-9000 FMS allows the user to select the previous/next preset from the library by entering '+' or '-' in the
scratchpad and pressing the associated softkey.
The CMA-9000 FMS provides frequency/channel validation by verifying the user requested frequency/channel
matches the radio feedback frequency/channel.
NOTE: Refer to the specific radio horizontal page description for details.
The CMA-9000 FMS provides alert mechanisms to inform the pilot of radio failures. Warnings appear if radios
fail or they are not responding to the tuning request.
NOTE: Refer to the specific radio horizontal page description for details.
The CMA-9000 FMS displays all tuned active frequencies in large white font. During the tuning process the
active frequencies are displayed in large inverse white font. If the tuning operation is not successful they are
displayed in small amber font as a warning to the pilot.
The CMA-9000 FMS can be configured to allow burst tuning; either by CMA-9000 Display Panel entry or by a
dedicated radio control head.
The operating frequencies for the Navigation radios are defined in each respective radio section. The CMA-9000
FMS does not accept values out of range. An error message will appear in the scratchpad, if invalid entries are
made by the user.
In some installation, the tuning can be achieved either from the FMS or from a backup controller. If the radio
tuning is disabled from the FMS, entries made to the NAV or ADF radio(s) will generate an entry advisory
message (!RADIO TUNING DISABLED) to inform the pilot that he may no longer tune these radios from the
CMA-9000 FMS.
A frequency or channel can be selected by entering the desired value in the scratchpad and pressing the
associated line select key. These radios do not provide tuning validation.
The CMA-9000 FMS does not require trailing/leading zeros for frequency entry.
In some installations, radio tuning can be achieved either from the FMS or from a backup controller. If the radio
tuning is disabled from the FMS, entries made to the COM radio(s) will generate an entry advisory message
(!RADIO TUNING DISABLED) to inform the pilot that he may no longer tune these radios from the CMA-9000
FMS.
The user interface for the VUHF radio is the same as that of the regular communication radios as described
above but with the following additional features/differences:
In some installations, radio tuning can be achieved either from the FMS or from a backup controller. If the radio
tuning is disabled from the FMS, entries made to the V/UHF radio(s) will inhibit V/UHF page access as well as
generating a data entry error message (!FMS NOT IN CONTROL) in order to inform the pilot that he may no
longer tune these radios from the CMA-9000 FMS.
For frequency in the VHF band, CMA-9000 FMS sets the modulation mode depending on the frequency band.
For frequency in the UHF band, the modulation mode is selectable by the user. The modulation mode and the
frequency ranges to be used are given in the following table.

COM1/2 [XX]: Display and modify the active and standby frequencies/channels of the COM1/COM2 radio. Entry
may be made to the standby position only when a new value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it
toggles active/standby frequencies/channels. If the transmit mode activation (e.g. push-to-talk) is installed, the
frequency/channel is displayed in reverse video black font on green background.
NAV1/2 [XX]: Display and modify the active and standby frequencies of the NAV1/NAV2 radio(s). Entry may be
made to the standby position only when a new value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it toggles
active/standby frequencies. When auto-tuning mode is active, an inverse video 'AUTO' is displayed below to the
NAV1/NAV2 fixed caption prompt. Returning to manual tuning mode requires 'DELETE' (press the [CLR] key) to
be assigned to the NAV1/NAV2 standby frequency or swapping of the active and standby NAV1/NAV2
frequencies. When a DME hold is set (via the NAV radio page), an inverse video 'HOLD' is displayed below to
the NAV1/NAV2 fixed caption prompt. Also, when DME hold is set, the double arrow toggle prompt disappears
to indicate that if an entry is made, the entered frequency will correspond to the active frequency (e.g. not the
standby), this is because the frequency displayed next to the HOLD prompt is the hold frequency.
ATC1/2 [XX]: Display and modify active and standby ident of the active ATC radio (in a dual installation). Entry
may be made to the standby position only when a new value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it
toggles between active/standby idents. Also displays the Transponder mode (C= Altitude mode on, blank=
Altitude mode off) below the fixed caption ATC field. When the [SQK/IDT] key is pressed the active Ident code
will be displayed in inverse green for the duration of the Squawk (18 seconds). During the duration of the
squawk, the CMA-9000 FMS is inhibit the toggle operation. If the transponder is in standby, an inverse video
'SBY' is displayed below the fixed caption ATC field.
NOTE: Name may differ (ATC vs TPDR vs XPDR) based on configured name.
ADF1/2 [XX]: Display and modify the active and standby frequencies of the ADF1 or ADF2 radio. Entry may be
made to the standby position only when a new value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it toggles
active/standby frequencies. The ADF mode will be displayed in normal white font below the field ADF. Possible
values are: ADF, ANT, BFO. The BFO status has priority over ADF and ANT.
FM1/2 [XX]: Display and modify the active and standby frequencies of the FM1 / FM2 radio. Entry may be made

NOTE: The NAV and DME ident suffix "x" (e.g. NAV, NAV1...) and the side (left or right) where the NAV/DME
units appear is depending on the installation configuration.
* The FMS can be configured so that pressing the RADIO key successively toggles through RADIO
page Y/X.
NAV1 [1L]: Display and modify active/standby NAV frequency, ident and preset of the NAV1 radio. If configured,
the crew has the option to activate or deactivate the VOR auto-tuning mode. The crew may be presented to the
right of the title of this prompt, the text “AUTO” or “MAN” (as a function of what has been configured) to highlight
whether or not the VOR auto-tuning mode is activated or not.
Toggling between auto-tuning and manual tuning can be achieved by selecting and entering “DELETE” (press
the [CLR] key) to the NAV1 standby frequency. Returning to manual tuning mode can alternately be achieved by
swapping the active and standby NAV1 frequencies. Once the switch to automatic occurs the active frequency
will be replaced by a frequency selected automatically and the manually entered frequency will be lost.
NOTE: ILS ident validation within the FMS occurs by referencing the Recommended Navaid embedded within
the approach procedure since validation of the station’s Morse code ident is not available to the FMS.
NOTE: If the NAV function is set to MANUAL, the tuning selection indicator is disabled.
LOC/RAD [2L], [2R]: Depending on the active frequency, the following is displayed:
• NAV VOR radial when VOR frequency is tuned; or
• NAV LOCalizer course when a LOCalizer frequency is tuned.
DME HOLD [4L], [4R]: Toggles DME hold status for the DME radio (not applicable for the VIR-31). The possible
values are OFF and ON. For the VIR-32/DME-42 radio installation, this field is used as a status field only which
means it cannot be toggled.
DME [5L], [5R]: Displays the DME slant range when VOR or LOCalizer frequency is tuned.
NOTE:
• When valid feedback is received, the DME distance field will show the slant range distance associated to
the DME frequency in small white font. If no distance is received for an otherwise valid frequency (e.g. due
to the station being out of range) this field will be blank. If the feedback from the DME receiver is not valid
(e.g. fail condition), **** is displayed in the slant range field.
• When DME hold is set to ON the system transfers the active preset and frequency to the NAV HOLD slot
and freezes the DME tuning to this frequency. After DME hold has been initiated the active preset and
VOR/ILS frequency can be changed but this will not affect DME tuning.
• Modification of active and standby frequencies is as described for RADIO 1/N page.
• The standby frequencies are entered as stated for the RADIO 1/N page. However, the display is always
large white font since there is no tuning done on the standby frequencies.

VUHF [1L]: Display and modify the active/standby preset number and frequency/channel of the VUHF radio.
Entry from the keyboard is validated and then the frequency and preset/channel, if available, are placed in the
standby field below the active field, otherwise an error message is displayed in the scratchpad. Preset and
channel are displayed in small font green color. Maritime channel numbers are shown in the form CXX (where
XX=the maritime channel number).
Additionally, guard and emergency 243 activation will be shown next to the text VUHF. To indicate activation of
these, GUARD and EMER, respectively, will be displayed just next to the title text VUHF in inverse white font to
inform the crew of the selection of these prompts.
NOTE:
• It is possible to have dashes "-" in one or both of the active and standby fields after FMS maintenance.
Toggling is not allowed when "-" are present in the standby field. At that time, a frequency/channel needs to
be entered in the standby field first before the active/standby field toggling is allowed, otherwise a warning
message will be displayed in the scratchpad.
• If a maritime channel is entered while in either MAR SHIP or MAR COAST, then this has no effect on the
MAR TYPE setting (e.g. the existing setting is retained).
TUNE GUARD [2L]: Selection of this prompt will tune the radio to emergency frequency corresponding to the
currently active frequency band. That is, once this prompt is selected, the active frequency will be commanded
to either 40.500, 121.500, 156.800 (“C16” will also be shown in preset field), or 243.000 MHz (see table of
Figure 13-4), and the previously active frequency will be moved into the standby field. The receiver mode (RX
MODE) will also change to TR and “GUARD” will be annunciated next to the text at LSK 1L/1R as well on the
corresponding V/UHF radio’s line on the top RADIO page (e.g. RADIO 1/X or 2/X).
Also, once this prompt is activated, the prompt itself is removed from view until the operator makes another
V/UHF radio parameter selection which causes the guard state to no longer be maintained.
When TUNE 243 is activated this prompt is removed from view and unavailable for selection.
MODE [3L]: Possible options are AM, FM, MAR SHIP, and MAR COAST. Depending on the frequency field
value entered, the mode displayed can be either AM or FM. The crew will need to toggle this prompt to enter a
maritime channel based mode of operation.(e.g. MAR SHIP or MAR COAST).
The possible MODE options for the various frequency bands shown in the table shown of Figure 13-4 are
described here:
• when the entered active frequency lies within a frequency range having only AM as a possible
modulation, the MODE will change to "AM".
• when the entered active frequency lies within a frequency range having only FM as a possible
modulation and is not a maritime band frequency having an associated maritime channel, the
MODE will change to "FM"
• when the MODE is AM or FM, the crew may at any time toggle this prompt to enter the maritime
mode.
• while in the maritime mode (MAR SHIP or MAR COAST), if the crew enters a frequency which
exists in the table of figure 13-5, the FMS will automatically display the corresponding maritime
channel and maritime type (SHIP or COAST) for the selected frequency; otherwise, if the frequency
is not in the table, the FMS will set MODE to be that corresponding to the entered frequency’s
modulation.
• when the active frequency lies within a frequency range having either AM or FM, MODE will remain
unchanged from its current setting.
• when entering the maritime mode, the VUHF LVL setting will only be LOW PWR or MED PWR.
RX MODE [4L]: Toggles and displays VUHF receiver mode options. The possible values are: TR, TR_G
TUNE 243 [5L]: Selection activates the emergency 243 guard precedence mode within the V/UHF radio.
The FMS will then set the V/UHF control parameters as follows:
• active frequency will be set to 243.000
• the previously active frequency field content will be moved into the standby field
• mode will be set to AM
• receiver mode set to TR_G
• SQUELCH will be set OFF on VUHF page 2/2
• “EMER” will be annunciated next to the text at LSK 1L/1R as well on the corresponding V/UHF radio’s line on
the top RADIO page (e.g. RADIO 1/X or 2/X).
• the TUNE 243 prompt will be removed and only returns once emergency 243 is exitted

NOTES: The ATC equipment name can also be configured as “TPDR” or “XPDR”.
The ATC ident suffix "x" (e.g. ATC, ATC1...) and the side (left or right) where the ATC units appear is
depending on the installation configuration. The tables below provide examples.
It is recommended to always install the ATC control/status on the first RADIO top page next to line
select keys [5L]/ [5R].
The page title and acronym used must be identical to the Front panel Function Key acronym when
implemented.
ATC1 [1L]: Displays and allows modification of the active and standby identity code for the ATC1 transponder.
Enter identifier in scratchpad and press LSK 1L. Entry may be made to the standby position only when a new
value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it toggles between active/standby identifiers.
When a radio has been tuned to a new code from a remote control unit (RCU) and the radio is capable of providing
tuning feedback, the new code is displayed in the active field and the current active code is moved in the standby
field. This way, consistent setting is displayed on both control units.
The FMS displays a tuned active code in large font white color. During the tuning process, the active code is
displayed in large font inverse white color. If the tuning operation is not successful, the code is displayed in small
font amber color as a warning to the pilot. If an EMERGENCY request is made when this field already showing the
active code in amber, then this field will change to show the active code in inverse video amber font.
ATC2 [1R]: Same as above, but referencing ATC2 instead of ATC1 and LSK 2R instead of LSK 1L.
NOTE: For ATC1 and ACT2 it is possible to have "-" in one or both of the active and standby fields after FMS
maintenance. At that time, a code needs to be entered in the standby position first before the
active/standby field toggling is allowed, otherwise a warning message will be displayed in the scratchpad.
MODE C [3L]: Toggles ATC1 SSR Mode C functions for the ATC radio. The possible values are ON and OFF.
NOTE: New code and setting are accepted when the radio is in "STANDBY" mode, but the tuning of the radio
to the new code and/or setting will only occur when the radio status will be set to "ACTIVE"
STATUS1 [4L]: Displays the activity status of the ATC1 transponder. Pressing this softkey selects the next
option. The possible values are ACTIVE and STANDBY. The STATUS1 is automatically switched to ACTIVE
on a transition from ground to airborne and is automatically switched to STANDBY upon a transition from
airborne to ground. Only one ATC unit can be active at a given time, therefore making one of them active will
cause the other to become standby.
IDENT [5L]: Allow the crew to add the Special Position Identification "IDENT" pulse to the ATCRBS Mode A
reply code on the ATC radio which is "ACTIVE". It is possible to re-initiate the "IDENT" at any time, including
when it is already being transmitted.
EMERGENCY [5R]: Displayed in large font green when the configured emergency code is not 0000, otherwise
the field is blank. Pressing this softkey transmits the configured emergency code to the ATC and sets the
transponder status to active. Displayed in large font inverse green as long as the active code is an emergency
code and the radio is active.
NOTE: Activation of emergency mode on ground will only be possible if the ATC ON GND configuration option
on the A429 ATC CONFIG 1/2 page has been selected.

will be automatically sent (e.g. “MISSION 1” is sent as the SMS text message). This implies that the pre-
canned SMS text message is not loaded to the SEND SMS page under these circumstances. When a pre-
canned message containing no additional template text is selected, the displayed font changes from small
white to large inverse green font for 2 seconds in order to indicate that the message is being transmitted.
NOTE: Messages which are sent as displayed are displayed in small white font while messages with additional
pre-canned text are displayed in large white font.
GND BUSY [2R]: Same as [1L] for “GND BUSY” pre-canned text message.
NOTE: Prompt may be overwritten by pre-can message if more than 10 msg loaded.
This page provides the operator with a display of the incoming SMS text messages. There is a maximum of 160

SECTION 14
PERFORMANCE FUNCTIONS
From displayed fuel flow and remaining fuel quantity, the CMA-9000 FMS will compute the following parameters
and display them on the FUEL 1/2 page:
The CMA-9000 FMS will accept total remaining quantity of fuel and fuel flow information from the fuel computer
system. If a fuel computer system is not configured or has failed, the CMA-9000 FMS allows the operator to
manually enter on the RTE x FUEL page the total fuel quantity and the fuel flow.
The CMA-9000 FMS also provides the means to perform "what if" calculations via the RTE x FUEL page by
allowing operator entry of fuel flow and total remaining fuel quantity. The temporary values entered by the
operator will be replaced by fuel computer data (if available) upon each new access of the Fuel page.
If the FUEL+WEIGHTS option is configured for the FUEL pages, the CMA-9000 FMS provides on the RTE x
FUEL 2/2 page several fields used by the operator to enter the empty weight, optional equipment weight, crew
weight, cargo weight and total fuel weight including reserve. These values are used by the CMA-9000 FMS to
calculate the initial Gross-Weight (GWT) estimate, displayed on FUEL 1/1 page. Once the initial GWT is
accepted by the CMA-9000 FMS, the Gross Weight will be continuously estimated by subtracting the fuel
consumption based on the average fuel flow. The GWT units will match the fuel flow units, that is, if the fuel flow
is in Kg/Hr or Lb/Hr, then the GWT will be in Kg or Lb respectively.
If the FUEL option is configured for the FUEL pages, the CMA-9000 FMS receives the gross weight value from
the Fuel computer in addition to the fuel weight and fuel flow values.
CAUTION: The unit selection on the FUEL 1/2 and FUEL 2/2 pages has to be consistent with other fuel indicators
installed in the cockpit. Verify units on the FUEL pages and on other fuel indicators.
Display the INIT/REF INDEX 2/2 page by pressing [INIT REF], [PREV] or [NEXT].
Display the RTE x FUEL 1/2 page by pressing FUEL (LSK 5L) on the INIT/REF INDEX 2/2 page or the [FUEL]
functional key (if configured).

1. Key in the current fuel weight (e.g. 9700) and move it into the FUEL WT field by pressing LSK 2R.
2. Key in the current fuel flow (e.g. 110) and move it into the FUEL FLOW field by pressing LSK 3L.
Maximum range and endurance are calculated based on entered fuel quantity and fuel flow rate. The
maximum range is computed along the track to the FIX waypoint (if the FIX is defined) or with the current
track, given current or estimated fuel weight (excluding the reserve), fuel flow, and ground speed (if the FIX is
not defined). The endurance is computed using the given current or estimated fuel weight (excluding the
reserve) and fuel flow.
CAUTION: On power interruptions, the fuel units will revert to the configured units (from maintenance page).
Verify units when reading or entering values.
NOTE: “EST” is displayed after “FUEL” in reverse video on each of the title page (see above) whenever the Active
route is displayed and one of the following conditions is met:
• fuel quantity or fuel flow configured but not received from the sensor; or
• aircraft is on ground; or
• manually entered values for FUEL FLOW (LSK 3L) or FUEL WEIGHT (LSK 2R).

9. Key in the total cargo weight (e.g. 2000) and move it into the CARGO WT field by pressing LSK 4R.
NOTE: The quantities on the RTE x FUEL 2/2 page are displayed in white except for the case of an IFDS EFIS
installation when:
• the quantities are displayed in amber as long as the GROSS WT DISCREPANCY alert message is
active; and
• the quantities are displayed in white when there is no difference between the gross weight sent by
the IFDS and the CMA-9000 FMS-computed gross weight.
NOTE: “EST” is displayed after “FUEL” on each of the title page (see below) when specific conditions are met
(refer to the NOTE related to the FUEL 1/2 page description herein).
6L <INIT/REF 6R
The inactive fuel route page is displayed in monochrome cyan to distinguish it from the active route:
6L <RTE 1 FUEL 6R
With the desired waypoint identifier in the scratchpad (keyed in, or copied from any other page), move it into the
FIX field by pressing LSK 4R in the RTE x FUEL 1/2 page.
Fuel remaining at the selected waypoint is calculated based on the displayed fuel quantity (excluding reserve), fuel
flow rate and ground speed.
NOTE: By default the last waypoint of the active route is displayed. If an airport destination is entered in the
RTE page, then that destination waypoint is used to decide if the alert message “NOT ENOUGH FUEL”
will be triggered or not. The message is triggered if the fuel required to fly the along track distance from
the present position to the destination airport coordinates (excluding the missed approach procedure) is
not sufficient.
SIMULATION FUNCTIONS
The CMA-9000 FMS provides Fly Away and OEI Cruise simulation functions, which allow the pilot to determine
in advance the consequences of the loss of an engine in hover or cruise operation. The CMA-9000 FMS also
provides a RTE x LEGS page simulation that allows the pilot to perform simulated ETA/EFA computations on
the inactive route.
Entry of the performance charts required for the Fly Away and OEI Cruise functions is done via the data load
unit. The name and date identification of the loaded tables are displayed on the IDENT 2/2 page.

Upon opening the SIMUL FLY AWAY 1/3 page or selecting the "RESTORE DEFAULTS" prompt on the
same page, the CMA-9000 FMS initializes to the default value (values received from other aircraft sub-
systems) the current gross weight, current baro-corrected altitude, current outside air temperature and
current wind. Then it computes the Fly away height (minimum height to maintain in hover or the maximum
drop in height upon loss of an engine during hover); OEI OGE weight (weight required to maintain the
specified barometric altitude without any drop in height upon loss of an engine); and OGE CEILING height
(minimum altitude at which the ground effect is no longer felt).
The pilot can modify the gross weight, Fly away height, barometric altitude, outside air temperature and
wind. If the gross weight is modified, a new Fly away height, OEI OGE weight and OGE CEILING height are
calculated; similarly, if a Flyaway height is entered, the function determines the required gross weight, OEI
OGE weight and OGE CEILING height. Manual entry is distinguishable by either displaying values in
reverse video (as in the case of the GROSS WT, FLY AWAY HT, BARO ALT fields) or large font size (as in
the case of OAT and WIND fields).
If one of the parameters is out of bounds or invalid, an advisory message is triggered (refer to Appendix E
for details).
Upon opening the SIMUL OEI CRUISE 2/3 page or selecting the "RESTORE DEFAULTS" prompt on the
same page, the CMA-9000 FMS initializes to the default value (values received from other aircraft sub-
systems) the current gross weight, present baro-corrected altitude and present outside air temperature.
Then it computes the jettison weight (weight to lose in order to maintain the current altitude) and the level
altitude (maximum altitude after engine loss if no weight is dropped).
The gross weight, barometric altitude and outside air temperature can be modified by the pilot to determine
different scenarios. Whenever a manual input is done, the gross weight and barometric altitude are
displayed in inverse video and the outside air temperature in large font.
If one of the parameters is out of bounds or invalid, an advisory message is displayed. If more than one
advisory message is activated only the highest priority message is displayed.
The messages "AIR TEMP NOT VALID", "BARO ALTITUDE NOT VALID", "GROSS WEIGHT NOT VALID",
"WIND NOT VALID", and "FLY AWAY HT NOT VALID" are displayed depending on the situation.
While in flight, upon opening the SIMUL RTEx 3/3 page or selecting the "DEFAULT VAL" prompt on the
same page, the CMA-9000 FMS initializes to the default value (values received from other aircraft sub-
systems) the current values of TAS, fuel flow, wind, and fuel weight. Then it computes the ETA/EFA for the
waypoints that are part of the inactive route.
The SIMUL RTEx 3/3 page shown on ground displays the following values:
• CRZ TAS and CRZ WIND as defined in the PLAN DATA page;
• Fuel flow is set at a value of 615 kg/hr;
• Fuel weight is set at a value of 4000 kg.
The pilot can modify one or all the values on this page in order to compute different scenarios for the
ETA/EFA values. Manual entry is distinguishable by displaying the values in large font size.

SECTION 15
RNP CAPABILITY
OVERVIEW
When installed in accordance with AC 20-130A or equivalent, the CMA-9000 FMS is eligible for TGL-10 P-
RNAV and AC 90-100 approvals. The information to support RNP approvals is contained in this section .
This section describes RNP capabilities for the CMA-9000 Flight Management System (FMS) when the civil
navigation configuration is set. This information is intended to be used by operators and regulatory authorities to
facilitate RNP operational approvals. It does not constitute an operational approval by itself. The intent of the
RNP capability section is to address the 95% Total System Error (TSE) accuracy requirement and to declare the
performance monitoring and alerting capability for the applicable navigation modes.
For all navigation modes, the Actual Navigation Performance (ANP) does not include any consideration of the
Flight Technical Error (FTE). The ANP represents the 95% probable radial error of the estimated aircraft
position.
The CMA-9000 FMS monitors the position estimation error and generates an alert when the ANP exceeds the
current RNP.
In GPS navigation mode, the FMS monitors the Horizontal Integrity Limit (HIL) and activates an integrity lamp
and annunciation when the HIL exceeds the RNP value.
In the current implementation, the Flight Technical Error (FTE) is not integrated in the Performance Monitoring
and Alerting. Operational procedures must be developed taking into consideration the (CDI) scaling, auto-pilot
and flight director capabilities to bound the (FTE) as required to support the (TSE) requirements in the RNP
airspace.
Crew procedures should also be developed to address the case when the (FTE) becomes larger and does not
support the RNP procedure.
The FMS drives a course deviation indicator (CDI) with RNP-dependent full-scale deviation (FSD) as described
in the following table.
When configured to ANP/HIL=1.0, the ANP presented to the aircrew on the PROGRESS page represents the
99.999% probable radial position estimation error (PEE).
The CMA-9000 FMS monitors the ANP and generates the “CHECK ANP” CDU alert message when the ANP
exceeds the current RNP.
NOTE: That the condition has to be present for 30 seconds before the message is displayed in en-route and
terminal phase of flight and for 10 seconds when in approach phase of flight.
In GPS mode, the CMA-9000 FMS activates the INT (integrity) lamp when the HIL exceeds the current RNP.
A. ACCURACY
When installed in accordance with the CMA-9000 Installation Manual, the GPS navigation mode exceeds
the 95% 2D accuracy requirements of AC20-130A. A typical 95% probable position estimation radial error is
0.04 nm.
B. INTEGRITY
GPS-based position integrity is the GPS HIL computed by the Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor
(RAIM) function of the integrated GPS Sensor Module. HIL is expressed in nautical miles and represents the
radius of a circle centered around the estimated GPS position, such that the probability that the aircraft’s
true position lies within the circle is 99.999% when no satellite failure exists and 99.9% under all conditions
of satellite failure.
-5
This exceeds the 10 per flight hour requirement for containment integrity for RNP operations as defined in
RTCA-DO-236B/DO-283A.
C. CONTINUITY
Based on typical values of the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of the GPS receiver and on the
industry-acce pted failure rate of the GPS satellites (10-5/hour/satellite), the CMA-9000 FMS meets the 10-4
per flight hour continuity requirement.
A. ACCURACY
In the DME/DME navigation mode, a typical 95% position error is 0.5 nm in en-route and 0.4 nm in the
terminal area. The DME-DME navigation mode is not available for approach mode.
B. INTEGRITY
Based on typical MTBF values of the DME ground facilities and of the airborne DME transceivers, the CMA-
9000 FMS has a probability of misdetection by hardware of a failure condition that would cause the DME-DME
-4
navigation fix to be outside the containment limit of an order of magnitude of 10 per flight hour.
This probability is improved by line of position reasonableness check internal to the FMS. Reasonableness
checks based on distance and ground stations geometry are applied during the DME facility selection
process and prior to use of the DME slant distance measurements to derive the navigation solution.
C. CONTINUITY
Based on typical values of the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of the DME ground facilities and the
airborne DME transceiver, the CMA-9000 FMS meets the 10-4 per flight hour continuity requirement.
A. ACCURACY
In the VOR/DME navigation mode, a typical 95% position error is between 0.6 and 0.8 nm if the distance to
the tuned ground station is less than 7nm and 1.5nm greater distances. The VOR-DME navigation mode is
not available for approach mode.
B. INTEGRITY
Based on typical MTBF values of the VOR ground facilities and of the VOR receivers, the CMA-9000 FMS
has a probability of misdetection by hardware of a failure condition that would cause the VOR-DME
-4
navigation fix to be outside the containment limit of an order of magnitude of 10 per flight hour.
This probability is improved by having an internal FMS line of position reasonableness check.
Reasonableness checks based on bearing and distance are applied prior to use of the VOR bearing
received and the DME distance received in the solution.
C. CONTINUITY
Based on typical values of the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of the VOR ground facilities and the
airborne VOR receiver, the CMA-9000 FMS meets the 10-4 per flight hour continuity requirement.
The Kalman navigation mode is based on GPS sensor and APIRS sensor. The APIRS provides attitude,
velocities and accelerations to the FMS. The FMS uses this information to compute a mixed GPS & APIRS
solution. The Kalman navigation mode is not considered applicable for RNP operations.
The CMA-9000 is used in combination with an inertial navigation/reference system meeting the requirements of
FAA AC 25-4 and/or 14 CFR Part 121 Appendix G. Subject to a time limitation for the inertial navigation mode.
A. ACCURACY
The inertial drift rate model used for assessment of current inertial navigation accuracy assumes a 2 nautical
miles per hour drift rate in the cross-track direction after the FMS is placed in the inertial navigation mode.
The inertial navigation mode in RNP airspace is time limited based on the current RNP. In Terminal phase of
flight the inertial navigation mode must not be used more than 30 minutes after the CMA-9000 is placed in
the inertial navigation mode. In Enroute phase of flight, its usage can be extended to 60 minutes. The
Inertial navigation mode is not available for the approach mode.
B. INTEGRITY
The CMA-9000 provides an indication of the inertial position integrity by monitoring inertial navigation
accuracy and IRS data output validity status. Based on typical MTBF values of the inertial sensor, the CMA-
9000 FMS has a probability of misdetection by hardware of a failure condition that would cause the inertial
-4
position to be outside the containment limit of an order of magnitude of 10 per flight hour.
This probability is improved when a mixed inertial position is computed using 3 IRS sensors.
C. CONTINUITY
Based on typical values of MTBF of the inertial sensor, the CMA-9000 FMS meets the 10-4 per flight hour
continuity requirement.

MCDU FUNCTIONS
The FMS has the built in capability to interface with External Sub-Systems (ESS) through ARINC 739 protocol
and act as a MCDU for these external sub-systems. After a FMS cold start, automatic logon into an ESS is
possible if there is at least one ESS configured in the auto logon priority list. There are 11 FMS hardkeys can
be assigned as key logon functions in the configuration. When a hardkey is pressed, the FMS will logon into the
assigned ESS.
The MCDU MENU page displays all configured external sub-systems and the internal FMS.

The sub-systems displayed have a dedicated key. The internal FMS is displayed at LSK 1L. The name of
ESS1 is displayed at LSK 2L, the name of ESS2 is displayed at LSK 3L and so on.
NOTE: That up to 7 external sub-system can be installed, meaning 8 equipments can be displayed on the
MCDU MENU page (including the internal FMS that is always part of the sub-system list), from LSK 1L
to LSK 5L on MCDU MENU 1/2, and from LSK 1L to LSK 3L on MCDU MENU 2/2.
The Tandem Mode consists of 2 FMSs namely the 'Trainer' and 'Student' FMS. The tandem mode implies that
the Trainer’s FMS will act as a MCDU and will be connected through the A739 protocol to one external
subsystem which is the Student FMS.
In the tandem mode, the trainer and student FMSs will display simultaneously: the current display page;
keystroke commands; scratchpad information and annunciators, with the exceptions of the radio volume control
(if configured) and display brightness settings. The trainer’s FMS will have access to both FMSs; his own and
the student. The student will only have access to his own FMS.
Any entry on the trainer’s FMS will result in a modification of the data on the student FMS. The trainer’s FMS
internal system is not affected by the entry. An alpha-numerical value entered in the scratchpad on any FMS is
appended to the scratchpad data that is already being displayed.
Tandem functionality is available either in independent or synchronized mode. When in independent mode and
Tandem is active, the trainer’s FMS will not have radio volume settings. The trainer’s FMS will initiate the
Tandem Mode when logging on into the student’s FMS. The trainer’s FMS will terminate the Tandem Mode
when logging off the student’s FMS.
When the Tandem function is configured, navigation sensor de-selections are cross-talked to the cross-side
FMS in order to de-select the navigation sensors from only one FMS. When Tandem mode is active (both FMSs
have the exact same display), the EFIS Center-Legs mode is cross-talked in order to have the same EFIS
display on both ‘Student’ and ‘Trainer’ EFIS.

ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
A short CMA-9000 FMS power interruption, lasting less than 7 seconds in the air or less than 90 seconds on the
ground (depending on the configuration), will have no impact on the active flight plan of the CMA-9000 FMS.
The CMA-9000 FMS will recover and redisplay the active CMA-9000 FMS page (except for duplicate waypoint
pages, where the previously displayed page will be recovered). Verify position and update if necessary. Verify
that the deselected sensors remained deselected and correct if necessary. Navigation and guidance will
continue to operate normally. Re-select the desired flight instrument display and AP/FD modes. It is
recommended that the flight crew review the content of the flight plan specially considering the modifications
made within 5 seconds prior to the power outage.
NOTE: A momentary power interruption (less than 200 milliseconds) will not cause the GPS sensor to transition
to acquisition mode.
A power interruption lasting longer than 7 seconds while the aircraft is airborne will require pilot action to
re-select the active CMA-9000 FMS page and:
A power interruption lasting longer than 7 or 90 seconds (depending on the configuration selection) when the
aircraft is on the ground will result in the loss of the flight plan. Re-enter the origin and destination airports and
the flight plan.
A protection mechanism has been implemented to protect the lamp life duration (Refer to CMA-9000 Installation
Manual section VI Servicing). This mechanism dims the display when the temperature reaches an
environmental temperature higher than approximately +70C. The CMA-9000 FMS has been qualified to
maintain full brightness for a minimum of 30 minutes. It is therefore recommended to manually decrease the
display dimming (using the BRT key or the external display control unit) to the minimum acceptable dimming
setting if and only if the CMA-9000 FMS is to be operated in DAY luminance mode for longer than 30 minutes.
No degraded operation is foreseen in normal operation mode below +70 C.
EQUIPMENT DESELECTION
CAUTION: For installations in which GPS is the only navigation sensor, deselection of the GPS input will cause
reversion to dead reckoning mode. See below and refer to the AFMS/RFMS for details.

The DESELECT 1/1 page permits deselection of the TAS, the HDG, a sensor input or a navigation source.
NOTE: VOR, DME, DVS, INS, INS/GPS, INS/DVS, KALMAN and XFMS prompts are only displayed if such
equipments are interfaced with the CMA-9000 FMS. Refer to the AFMS for details.
2. Deselect the equipment by pressing the LSK besides its name until DESEL appears under it.
NOTE: To reselect the deselected equipment, follow step 2 until VALID or ACQ appears in the equipment’s
field.
If the TAS input is observed to be intermittent or unreliable, this input should be manually deselected to prevent
the possibility of temporary navigation errors.
1. Display the DESELECT 1/1 page by pressing [INIT REF], <NAV STATUS> (LSK 5R), <DESELECT>
(LSK 6R).
2. Deselect the TAS by pressing LSK 1L until DESEL appears under the TAS line.
NOTE: To reselect a deselected TAS, follow steps 1 and 2 until VALID appears in the TAS field.
When operating in a position-fixing navigation mode (e.g. GPS, DME/DME, DME/VOR), long term navigational
accuracy is not degraded due to loss of the TAS input. However, short term accuracy may be degraded during
periods of rapidly changing ground speed and the computation and display of wind will not be available.
When the CMA-9000 FMS is operated with the external CMA-3012/CMA-3024/CMA-3112 GNSSU or the
Trimble TA-12 GPS receiver, the system installation is approved for en-route and terminal operations without
altitude aiding, and for GPS instrument approaches with only an input of pressure altitude rather than
baro-corrected altitude. See the AFMS/RFMS for further details.
If the FMS is configured for VNAV, baro-corrected altitude must be available for the FMS to calculate its Vertical
Deviation. Baro-corrected altitude can be read directly from an Air Data Computer, or generated by the FMS
from an Air Data Computer’s pressure altitude and pilot entry of pressure correction on the PROGRESS 3/3, 4/4
or 4/5 page.
Once in flight, the actual satellite constellation determines whether altitude aiding is required to achieve the level
of integrity to conduct a GPS instrument approach. With a good satellite constellation, no altitude aiding may, in
fact, be necessary. Therefore the loss of the altitude input to the CMA-9000 FMS may have no impact on the
operation of the flight, with the exception that manual waypoint sequencing will be required for
altitude-terminated legs. This can be achieved via the <NEXT WPT> prompt (LSK 6R) on RTE x LEGSs and
PROGRESS pages.
When all altitude inputs are lost, including GPS, manual update of aircraft altitude may be made on PROGRESS
4/4 (or 3/3) page.
If the heading input becomes intermittent or unreliable, it should be manually deselected to prevent navigation
errors.
1. Display the DESELECT 1/1 page by pressing [INIT REF], <NAV STATUS> (LSK 5R), <DESELECT>
(LSK 6R).
2. Deselect the HDG by pressing LSK 2L, until DESEL message appears in the HDG field.
NOTE: To reselect a deselected HDG follow steps 1 and 2, until VALID appears in the HDG field.
CAUTION: IFR operation in dead reckoning mode may not be permitted in certain classes of airspace.
When reversion to DR mode occurs (due to unavailability of all other navigation modes), the CMA-9000 FMS
must rely solely on heading, true airspeed and the last computed value of wind, for navigation. This results in a
position accuracy which degrades continuously during prolonged intervals of DR operation. The rate at which
accuracy degrades depends on the quality of the source of the heading and speed inputs. The CMA-9000 FMS
may therefore only maintain its normal accuracy if DR operation does not exceed three to five minutes duration
(at typical speeds; it will be longer at lower speeds).
Navigation accuracy during prolonged DR operation may be improved by manual updating of present position
and/or the actual track and ground speed and/or the wind speed and wind direction based on external
information. This is particularly necessary during periods of changing winds, since the CMA-9000 FMS
providing navigation data assumes constant wind during DR operation. In an installation where digital True
Airspeed (TAS) is not provided, the CMA-9000 FMS assumes constant ground speed during DR operation,
therefore the latter must be updated manually at regular intervals.
Manual update of the CMA-9000 FMS track and ground speed is accomplished as follows:
1. Display the PROGRESS 1/4 page by pressing [PROG] when the 4-page set of PROGRESS pages is
configured (the PROGRESS 3/3 page when the 3-page set of PROGRESS pages is configured).
o
2. Enter the track angle in True (T)/Magnetic ( )and ground speed in knots into the scratchpad, e.g. 281/228.
3. Move the track angle and ground speed to the TK/GS field by pressing LSK 3R.
NOTE: Track angle and ground speed will automatically be updated as soon as the CMA-9000 FMS resumes
normal navigation operation.
When the heading input is unavailable, the two main consequences are: the computation of wind is unavailable,
and more importantly, the CMA-9000 FMS accuracy may be temporarily degraded during turns exceeding 20
degrees except when in GPS mode. To prevent this temporary loss of accuracy, it is necessary to manually
enter a new value of track angle each 10 to 20 seconds during a turn and again on completion of the turn.
Follow steps 2. and 3. as described in NAVIGATION IN DEAD RECKONING (DR) MODE, skipping the entry of
ground speed data. The procedure is not required when navigating with a valid GPS position.
Manual position updates can be performed when navigating in Dead Reckoning mode.
1. Prior to reaching a known reference position, get this known reference position coordinates to the scratchpad
by following one of these three methods:
• If the known point is a flight plan waypoint, go to the ACT RTE x LEGS POS 1/X page and line-select the
appropriate waypoint coordinates to the scratchpad;
• If the known point is a NavDataBase element, retrieve its coordinates from the NavDataBase via the WPT
DATA 1/1 page, and line-select them to the scratchpad (LSK 1R);
• Type the coordinates directly into the scratchpad.
2. Display the POS INIT/REF 1/2 page by pressing [INIT REF], <POS INIT> (LSK 2L).
3. When directly overhead the known reference position, enter the scratchpad coordinates into the CMA-9000
FMS POS field by pressing LSK 1R. The CMA-9000 FMS position is immediately updated to the new
coordinates.

• Internally Calculated:
If the gross weight is not received from an external source and the CMA-9000 FMS FUEL_PG option is
configured with detailed weights, to FUEL+WEIGHTS, then an internally computed value is displayed (in
normal white font):
Gross weight is the sum of empty weight, optional equipment weight, crew weight, cargo weight, and
total fuel weight including reserve. The Gross weight will be automatically updated so long as the CMA-
9000 FMS receives fuel weight or fuel flow from the fuel computer.
If the gross weight is not received from an external source and the CMA-9000 FMS FUEL_PG option is not
configured with detailed weights, to FUEL+WEIGHTS, then an internally computed value is displayed (in
normal white font):
Gross weight is then calculated from the previous gross weight minus the change in fuel weight. The
Gross weight will be automatically updated so long as the CMA-9000 FMS receives fuel weight or fuel
flow from the fuel computer.
If the gross weight, fuel flow, and fuel weight are not received from an external source and the CMA-9000
FMS FUEL_PG option is configured for detailed weights, to FUEL+WEIGHTS, then the gross weight is
internally computed from the manually entered detailed weight values and is displayed as a computed value
(in normal white font). The gross weight is then recalculated when the user enters new fuel or detailed
weight values.
• Manually Entered:
If the gross weight, fuel flow, and fuel weight are not received from an external source and the CMA-9000
FMS FUEL_PG option is not configured for detailed weights to FUEL+WEIGHTS, then the last received or

The value is displayed in large font with a value in between 0 to 655360 kg or lb.
NOTE: The entry of a parameter also revises the FUEL WT value on page FUEL 1/2. This field is periodically
updated based on current fuel flow consumption. When losing the fuel weight from fuel sensor, the last
fuel weight value from fuel sensor is kept until a manual value is entered.
• For the inactive route fuel page, if the SIMUL_PG option is configured, the total fuel weight value
corresponds to the SIMUL RTEx page fuel weight value plus the fuel reserve value and is displayed in
medium font. If the SIMUL_PG option is not configured, the current calculated total fuel weight from the fuel
sensor is displayed in medium font. A value may be manually entered only if the fuel weight is unavailable
from the sensor and if the SIMUL_PG option is not configured. The value is displayed in large font with a
value in between 0 to 655360 kg or lb. In this case, the entry of a parameter also revises the FUEL WT
value on page FUEL 1/2. If the SIMUL_PG option is configured, any manual entry is rejected and the “!NO
ENTRY ALLOWED” advisory message is displayed.
NOTE: A fuel reserve entry also revises the FUEL WT value on page FUEL 1/ 2 for the active route. For the
inactive route, the FUEL WT value on page FUEL 1/ 2 will only be updated if the SIMUL_PG option is
not configured. This field will be periodically updated based on current fuel flow consumption when the
total FUEL+RES value is equal to the fuel reserve value.

TRANS ALT [1L]: When a modification is made to the origin airport or associated departure procedure, this
field will be updated to show the navigation database extracted value, if one exists, otherwise the FMS default
value will be displayed.
The valid enterable range for this field is 0 to 450 or 1000 to 45000.
NOTE: if a value between 0 and 450, inclusive, is entered, it will be converted and shown as a transition
altitude in feet.
Entering DELETE on this field, when a manually entered value had previously been entered, will restore this
field to the navigation database extracted value or to the FMS default. Deletion of the default value or navigation
database values is inhibited.
Crew entries will not be erased by a new value extracted from the navigation database as a result of the latest
flight plan modifications. However, if this new extracted value is different from the crew entered value, the FMS
will generate the TRANS ALT/LVL MISMATCH message.
The FMS will also generate the CHECK TRANS/ALT LVL status advisory message if there is no value in the
navigation database for the selected origin and/or associated departure procedure(s) and no manual crew entry
exists to the TRANS ALT field at the moment the flight plan is executed.
NOTE: The TRANS ALT value defines the altitude at which the crew should change from local pressure
altimeter setting to standard pressure altimeter setting. The TRANS ALT value is used in triggering the
SET QNH message.
TRANS LVL [2L]: When a modification is made to the destination airport or associated arrival procedure, this
field will be update to show the navigation database extracted value, if one exists, otherwise the FMS default
value (as configured) will be displayed.
The valid enterable range for this field is 0 to 450 or 1000 to 45000.
NOTE: If a value between 1000 and 45000, inclusive, is entered, it will be converted and shown as a transition
level in Flight Level units.
Entering DELETE on this field, when a manually entered value had previously been entered, will restore this
field to the navigation database extracted value or to the FMS default. Deletion of the default value or navigation
database values is prohibited.
Crew entries will not be erased by a new value extracted from the navigation database as a result of the latest
flight plan modifications. However, if this new extracted value is different from the crew entered value, the FMS
will generate the TRANS ALT/LVL MISMATCH message.
The FMS will also generate the CHECK TRANS/ALT LVL status advisory message if there is no value in the
navigation database for the selected destination and/or associated arrival/approach procedure(s) and no manual
crew entry exists to the TRANS LVL at the moment the flight plan is executed.
If tactical approach is configured, the CHECK TRANS/ALT LVL status advisory message is generated when
making the inactive route containing a tactical approach into the now active route.
Also, if tactical approach is configured, this field is identical and shared with the TRANS LVL field seen on the
TACTICAL APPR page.
NOTE: The TRANS LVL value defines the altitude at which the crew should change from standard pressure
altimeter setting to local pressure altimeter setting. The TRANS LVL value is used in triggering the SET
QNH message.

range from 27.0 to 32.0 in Hg or in millibars (mb) with a range from 915 to 1083 mb. When a QNH altimeter
setting is entered, a correction is applied to the pressure altitude and the resulting baro-corrected value is
displayed as ALT(CORR) (5L). The displayed unit (mb or inHg) can be toggled via LSK 6L when the scratchpad
is empty.
This field is also displayed, in small font, when both the QNH and baro-corrected altitude are received by the
FMS. This field is not displayed when the baro-corrected altitude is received, but no external QNH is available to
the FMS. This field is not displayed when the altitude source is GPS, INS (EGI) or manual.
QNH REF [6R]: Displayed when only pressure altitude from the ADC and hybrid inertial altitude from the EGI
are available and the QNH SET field is displayed. Displays a computed value of the mean sea-level (QNH)
pressure as a reference value to the pilot. The units of this field will be slave to the selected unit on the QNH
SET (6L) field. This field is right justified.
NOTE: The manually entered altimeter setting is cancelled and the field displays dashes (“--.--“) on leaving
the terminal area (distance from the departure airport is greater than 33 nm, or the altitude is greater
than 16,000 feet above airport elevation.
When no altimeter setting is defined field displays boxes (" ") on entering the terminal area
(distance from the destination airport is less than 30 nm, or the altitude is less than 15,000 feet above

ORIGIN [1L]: Used for entry and/or display of the origin identifier (any navigation database, user database,
digital map, temporary waypoint and position if configured for tactical approach). Entry or re-entry, or deletion
clears any existing route. Following entry, selections can be made on the ARRIVALS page for the origin, in case
the origin is an airport. For the active route, deletion erases all waypoints from the modified route and triggers the
RESTORE prompt. For the inactive route, deletion erases all waypoints from the inactive route and triggers the
CANCEL and CONFIRM prompts. Entry of an origin is mandatory for FIX wing aircraft configuration but is not for
ROTOR.
DEST [1R]: Used for entry and/or display of the destination identifier (any navigation database, user database,
digital map, temporary waypoint and position if configured for tactical approach). Entry or re-entry clears arrival
procedures of the previous destination. Following entry, selections can be made on the ARRIVALS page for the
destination, in case the destination is an airport. Entry of a destination is mandatory for FIX wing aircraft
configuration but is not for ROTOR.
A new destination entry after all arrivals/approaches have been completely sequenced will cause the
arrival/approach procedural attributes of the procedural waypoints to be cleared; the overflown procedural
waypoints will consequently assume the form of enroute waypoints and consequently no enroute waypoints
downpath will be deleted from the flight plan.
RUNWAY [2L]: Runway entry. Valid entries are origin airport runways. Line may be selected via DEPARTURE
page. Deleted upon reaching first waypoint.
FLT NO [2R]: Flight number. Displays entered company flight number. Displays dashes until valid flight
number is entered. Valid flight number may only be alphanumeric and up to 8 characters long.
NOTE: When the M425 IFF is configured, the flight ID seen on this page corresponds to the flight number as
seen on the IFF page, e.g. changing this field changes the value seen on the IFF page, and vice-versa.
DMAP APPEND [3L]: This prompt appears only if DMAP ELBIT, EURONAV or EURONAV_A702 type is
configured. Pressing this key toggles the DMAP append mode On/Off. If the DMAP append mode is ON, and a
valid DMAP waypoint is received from the DMAP unit, and the DMAP waypoint was successfully stored in the
DMAP Reserved waypoint List, then the received DMAP waypoint is appended to the end of the route, or before
the first encountered discontinuity. If an inactive route page is being displayed, then the DMAP waypoint is
included in the inactive route.
ROUTE [3R]: Enter Custom Route or User Route (name) and press [EXEC] key.
• Custom Route Name displayed when route has been loaded using USER ROUTES or SELECT CO ROUTE
pages.
• Custom Route Name or User Route name entered by the operator and executed with the [EXEC] key.
ERASE RTEx [4L]: Erases the current displayed non-empty route (active or inactive – e.g. origin, destination
and all waypoints on the LEGS page). This option is only displayed when the displayed route is not empty and
when the CMA-9000 FMS is configured for single mode of operation.
NOTE: RTEx corresponds to RTE1 or RTE2 depending on which route is being displayed.
RTE XFILL [4L]: This prompt appears only in independent mode of operation. Key press transfers the active
route to the off-side FMSs. Press [EXEC] key on the off-side FMSs to activate transferred route. This prompt
disappears when using this key to cross-fill the route to the off-side FMS and reappears if the route is modified on
one of the CMA-9000 FMSs.
RTE COPY [5L]: Displayed only on an inactive route page and when at least one waypoint is present in the active
route. Key press copies active route onto inactive route.
BACKTRACK [5L]: Pressing this key will create a modified route containing:
• as a configurable item, the active TO waypoint followed by a discontinuity; then
• the waypoints of the backtrack route at the moment the key was pressed.
The MOD RTE x LEGS page will be displayed. As for any route modification, the backtrack route may then be
modified and executed. This key is only available on the active route page.
ERASE [6L]: Displayed only when a route modification is in progress. Pressing this key will undo all changes to
the route and return to the ACT Route status. If confirm erase route modifications is configured, then upon
pressing ERASE a confirmation is requested by displaying CANCEL and CONFIRM prompts on line select keys
6L and 6R respectively.
RESTORE [6L]: Displayed only when the route's origin is deleted in flight or on ground or when the erase active
route key is pressed. It will cause a return to the previous route and ACT RTE status.
CANCEL [6L]: {If ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM} Cancel the changes made to the inactive route.
CONFIRM [6R]: {If ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM} Confirm the changes made to the inactive route.
OFFSET [6R]: This prompt appears only if the “OFFSET” display element is configured. To initiate offset (parallel
track) navigation enter lateral offset (L99.9-R99.9) and press [EXEC]. Maximum desired lateral offset distance left
or right of course is 99.9 nm. Entry is allowed only in flight if the path to the active waypoint is a track to fix leg or a
Direct-To; and not part of an approach procedure; and not terminated by an outbound leg of type Search or
Hold; and; not part of an active CARP procedure. Entry of 0 or performing a [CLR] key will cancel the offset. The
default OFFSET display when an offset has not been entered or after a cancellation will be R0.0.
ACTIVATE [6R]: Prompt displayed only when route is not active and at least one waypoint is present in the
inactive route. Key press will cause the EXEC key to illuminate. This function is rejected when a moving waypoint
is present in the active route.
(SAVE?): Displayed between the CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts when the inactive route is in modification.

SECTOR 1/1 or RTE X LADDER 1/1.
4. Enter desired Search parameters.
5. Press <CONFIRM> softkey to store the desired Search parameters into the Search route waypoint
record and confirm the modifications to the inactive route.
E. Search Pattern Waypoint Created from SAR Pages (e.g. Off-Route Waypoint) – Inactive Route & modified
Inactive Route only:
1. Display RTE X SQUARE 1/1, RTE X LADDER 1/1 or RTE X SECTOR 1/1 by pressing [INIT REF],
<DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL>, [NEXT], <SQUARE> or <LADDER> or <SECTOR>
2. Enter a valid waypoint identifier in ID [LSK 1L] field or REF ID [LSK 2L] field.
3. Enter desired Search parameters.
4. Press <CONFIRM> softkey to create a Search pattern waypoint with the desired Search parameters
into the inactive route. Any other modification in the modified inactive route is confirmed at the same
time.
To define a new search pattern or a search pattern at present position, it is necessary to delete any previous
search pattern.
To cancel an active search pattern, it is necessary to perform a direct-to procedure to any waypoint or to land
the aircraft.
To delete an inactive search pattern, type ‘/’ in the scratchpad, then press the softkey corresponding to the
search anchor waypoint.
NOTE: The parameters of the inactive SAR may be lost if not confirmed before a page change is performed.

ACT/MOD/blank(STATUS): MOD indicates the search is not being executed. ACT indicates that the search
pattern is being executed. "blank" indicates an executed search fix has not been reached or the search pattern
for the inactive route is being displayed.
ID [1L]: Name of starting search pattern waypoint. If a search pattern waypoint is defined in route, its identifier
is displayed in the field and it cannot be overwritten. Otherwise, waypoint entries are allowed, except for moving
waypoint, and the entered identifier is displayed, if any. If no entries were made to both ID & REF ID fields, 5
boxes “ ” are displayed. Else, if an entry was made in REF ID field, 5 dashes “-----“ are displayed.
NOTE: When a new ID is entered, the operator should clear the relative bearing and distance data field relative
to the previous ID by pressing [NEXT] then [PREV].
REF ID [2L]: Name of waypoint considered to be a reference for the relative bearing/distance elements
entered in the fields 3L and 4L. If a search pattern waypoint is defined in the route, the field is filled with 5
dashes “-----“ and no entry is allowed. Otherwise, entries are allowed and the entered identifier is displayed, if
any. If no entries were made to both ID & REF ID fields, 5 boxes “ ” are displayed. Else, if an entry was
made in ID field, 5 dashes “-----“ are displayed.
LEG LENGTH [1R]: Value of the leg length (between 0.1 and 40 nm). The parameter is kept in non-volatile
memory (NVM) and its initial default value is 2.0 nm. Subsequent change of the parameter value, validated by
pressing the <ACTIVATE> softkey followed by the EXEC key, will become the new default value kept in non-
volatile memory (NVM). This default value is preserved even after a cold-start.
RELATIVE BRG [3L]: The relative bearing of the search pattern entry waypoint compared to the reference
REF ID. This field is displayed as long as REF ID contains an entry (000T True or 000° Magnetic is the default
value).
TRACK SPACING [2R]: Value of the width length (between 0.1 and 40 nm). The parameter is kept in NVM
and its initial default value is 1.0 nm. Subsequent change of the parameter value, validated by pressing the
<ACTIVATE> softkey followed by the EXEC key, will become the new default value kept in NVM. This default
value is preserved even after a cold-start.
SAR BRG [3R]: Value of the bearing (TRUE or MAG) of the first leg in the Search pattern (000T or 000° is the
default value).
DISTANCE [4L]: The distance of the search pattern entry waypoint from the reference REF ID. This field is
displayed as long as REF ID contains an entry and the displayed default value is 10.0 nm. Minimum and
maximum valid values are 0.1 nm and 99.9 nm respectively.
MAX GS (4L): The maximum Ground Speed required to fly the pattern without overshoot. This field is displayed
only after a valid waypoint identifier has been entered, and is mutually exclusive with the DISTANCE field.
This maximum ground speed is re-computed every time a modification is performed on the search parameters
(track spacing, leg length, diameter or angle).
ACTIVE SAR [4R]: Type of the active search pattern present in the flight plan. When there is no active search
pattern “none” is displayed.
PPOS [5L]: The search pattern is started at the present position. Toggles between PPOS and CURRENT
WPT # (displayed only after the search pattern is active). The PPOS prompt becomes available only for active
route in the air and if the active route does not contain another search pattern waypoint.
CURRENT WPT (5L): Number of the search waypoint towards which the aircraft flies. Displayed only for a
search pattern waypoint in progress and only on the Search page of the selected pattern. The field value
increases as the aircraft overflies the search waypoints. The range of values for this field is:
• [02->80] if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• [01->79] for all other EFIS types.
ENTRY WPT [5R]: Number of the search pattern entry waypoint. Displayed only for a search pattern
waypoint in progress and only on the search page of the selected pattern. The field value remains fixed but can
be modified manually by first interrupting (via INTERRUPT prompt) the search pattern and then resuming it (via
RESUME prompt) at a new ENTRY WPT value. At the beginning of a new search, the value of this field goes
back to its default value:
• 01 if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• 00 for all other EFIS types.
The allowed range of input values for this field is:
• [02->80] if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• [01->79] for all other EFIS types.
ERASE [6L]: Cancel the changes made to the modified active route. If confirm erase route modifications is
configured, then upon pressing ERASE a confirmation is requested by displaying CANCEL and CONFIRM
prompts on line select keys 6L and 6R respectively.
CANCEL [6L]: Erase all the fields and sets the Search parameters back to their default values. For the inactive
route only, it will also cancel the modifications made to the inactive route and will command display of LEGS
page, if the cancellation follows modifications to the inactive route.
(SAVE?): Displayed between the CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts when the inactive route is in modification.
RESTORE [6L]: Is displayed only if the route was erased on the RTE 1/X page. Used to restore the active
route.
NOTE: CANCEL appears when NOT in modified and when the ACTIVATE key is present (e.g. Search pattern
parameters are entered in the SAR page but no Search pattern waypoint defined in route yet).
ACTIVATE/INTERRUPT/RESUME/CONFIRM [6R]:
• ACTIVATE is displayed (in green) only when the pattern is not active in the active route or the modified active
route. It creates the Search pattern waypoint into the modified active route, if no search pattern waypoint
already exists. Otherwise, it is used to confirm further modifications to the search pattern waypoint. Once the
search pattern waypoint is activated but not in progress yet, the search pattern parameters can be modified at
will (TRACK SPACING, LEG LENGTH, DIAMETER, ANGLE, TRUE BRG, ENTRY WPT #) causing
CANCEL/ERASE/ACTIVATE prompts to reappear every time a parameter is modified. If the search procedure
is created using the Search menu ([INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL>, <SQUARE> or <LADDER> or
<SECTOR>, ACTIVATE enters the search waypoint as the first waypoint in the flight plan (followed by a
discontinuity and the rest of the waypoints). If the search procedure is created using “/S” on the LEGS page,
the <ACTIVATE> softkey updates the search pattern waypoint parameters.
• INTERRUPT is used to initiate an interruption of the Search pattern. When the INTERRUPT LSK is pressed,
its color changes from green to inverse green, the active search pattern becomes a modified one, and the
EXEC lamp illuminates. The current waypoint field freezes to the number of the last TO search waypoint and
the CMA-9000 FMS disables the steering command (upon EXEC key press).
• RESUME is used when an interrupted SAR pattern needs to be restarted from a search waypoint entered in
the ENTRY WPT field (LSK 5R). When the RESUME LSK is pressed, its color changes from green to inverse
green, the EXEC lamp illuminates, and a value can be entered in the ENTRY WPT field (entry is permitted
only after RESUME was pressed).
• For modified active route: CONFIRM is displayed if ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM. For modified
inactive route: CONFIRM is used to confirm the changes made to the inactive route. However, when it is
displayed following the creation of a search pattern waypoint into the modified inactive route or following
modifications to the search parameters in the inactive route, then pressing the CONFIRM prompt will
confirm the changes made to the search pattern and other changes made to the inactive route (same
functionality as the ACTIVATE prompt for the active route & modified active route).
NOTES:
• The INTERRUPT/RESUME keys is displayed only on the search pattern page corresponding to the executed
pattern (e.g. if a LADDER pattern was executed, INTERRUPT/RESUME appears only on the LADDER pattern
page).
• Using the [NEXT]/[PREV] keys on one of the search pattern pages causes selection of the next/previous
search pattern page respective of the following order: SQUARE, SECTOR, LADDER.
• Re-entry into the pattern using RESUME is not permitted on the search origin, e.g. ENTRY WPT cannot be
equal to:
• 01 if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured
• 00 for all other EFIS types
• Pressing the <ACTIVATE> prompt, while valid entries exist for REF ID, RELATIVE BRG & DISTANCE fields,
will cause the creation of a Search pattern waypoint located at the position of the REF ID waypoint offset by
the BRG/DIS elements. A new waypoint identifier will be created and displayed in the ID field. The REF ID
field will be filled with dashes and the RELATIVE BRG & DIST fields (title and data) will disappear.
• Entering a valid waypoint identifier in the ID field, while valid entries already exist for REF ID, RELATIVE
BRG and DISTANCE fields, will cause the REF ID field to be filled with dashes and the RELATIVE BRG and
DISTANCE fields (title and data) to disappear.
The RTE x LEGS page is used to display and modify the active flight plan. Waypoints can be created, inserted
and deleted. This also applies to approach procedure waypoints preceeding the missed approach point (MAP).
A holding pattern can be defined on any waypoint. Waypoints can be converted from fly-by (with turn
anticipation) to fly-over (no turn anticipation). Exceptions to this are moving waypoints, which can be only fly-
over. Moving waypoints may also be inserted or removed from the flight plan; however, no procedures may be
attached. The seven illustrations below demonstrate the different display formats this page may have depending
on the function being performed.
When a DMAP waypoint is received and the DMAP Append mode is ON, the LEGS page containing the
appended waypoint is displayed {ELBIT, EURONAV , EURONAV_A702 or DMAP configuration only}.

PAGE NUMBER (title): Number of available LEGS pages. The Active TO waypoint is located on the first page:
RTE LEGS 1/X.
LEG COURSE: For the active waypoint: Present course/heading to be flown. For all downtrack waypoints: 1)
Initial course for that leg. 2) Stored procedural course. 3) Stored procedural heading (Heading have the suffix
HDG). Courses and headings are magnetic (°) or true course (T) based on configuration. Field is blank if the
leg direction is undefined (e.g. for a route discontinuity).
LEG DISTANCE: For the active waypoint: Distance to go from present position to the waypoint.
NOTE: For vectors and altitude legs: Blank. For the next (upcoming) leg: Flight plan leg distance.
WAYPOINT IDENTIFIER [1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L]: Up to 7 characters (5 characters if Tactical Approach is
configured). Used for entry and/or display of any valid waypoint identifier. Valid entries are: Identifier, Latitude
Longitude, Place/Bearing/Distance, Place/Bearing-Place/ Bearing and Along Track Distance. The active
waypoint identifier is displayed on top of RTE LEGS 1/X page in reverse video (black on white or black on
magenta, or magenta), depending on the installation. The active waypoint cannot be deleted but may be
overwritten. Conditional waypoints cannot be manually entered. They appear as a result of procedure selection
via the DEPARTURES and/or ARRIVALS pages.
If CARP is configured and CRP01/C is entered manually, the waypoints of the CARP procedure (TP, SD, CRP,
XTE, and ESC), except IP, are immediately inserted in the LEGS page and the CARP PLAN 1/3 page is
displayed. If an identifier followed by /C is entered, the waypoints of the CARP procedure (TP, SD, CRP, XTE,
and ESC), except IP, are immediately inserted in the LEGS page and the CARP PLAN 1/3 page is displayed
with the waypoint identifier as PI. IP is only shown in the LEGS pages once it is defined in the CARP PLAN 1/3
page. The CARP procedure waypoints (IP, TP, SD, CRP, XTE, and ESC) are an indivisible group, with no
possibility of removal of a single waypoint or insertion of a waypoint in between. Pressing the LSK of any CARP
procedure waypoint when the scratchpad is empty brings “CRP01” to the scratchpad.
WAYPOINT PROCEDURE [1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L]: Slash symbol legends indicate a special procedure is
associated with a waypoint: "/H" for holding pattern procedure at waypoint, "/O" for overfly waypoint, "/S" for
search waypoint, “/C” for CARP procedures, "/T" for tactical direct-to, “/A” for tactical approach runway threshold
waypoints. Procedures are cancelled by entering “/” into the scratchpad and pressing the appropriate LSK.
Entering /C over any CARP procedure waypoint displays the CARP PLAN 1/3 page. Entering /C over any other
existing waypoint in the flight plan is not allowed. Entering / over any CARP procedure waypoint removes the
CARP procedure and CRP01 waypoint from the flight plan. From the point of view of the following operations,
the CARP procedure waypoints are an indivisible group and are treated as one waypoint (e.g. the operation on
any waypoint in the procedure produces the same effect as if the procedure was one waypoint): “DELETE”,
close-up of a down path waypoint, insertion of an off-route waypoint. If a CARP procedure is being flown and
some of its points are sequenced, then a direct-to operation deletes the CARP procedure from the flight plan.
If Tactical Approach is present in the flight plan, the following 3 methods can be used to delete the tactical
approach from the flight plan:
• Entering a forward slash / in the scratchpad and inserting this at the LSK location next to the tactical
approach runway threshold waypoint (e.g. MAP waypoint) in the flight plan (provided none of the tactical
approach procedure related waypoints is currently an active waypoint)
• Closing out a route. This will completely remove all 3 tactical approach waypoints.
• Selecting a new destination.
NOTE: That the last item above will not generate any scratchpad message indicating that an approach already
exists in the flight plan. The rationale for this that the crew would be well aware of their intent to enter a
new destination and as such would be no different in philosophy than them selecting a destination to a
new civil destination (e.g. any approach existing in the flight plan would automatically be deleted).
SPEED CONSTRAINTS (or RESTRICTIONS) [1R, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R]: Display of mandatory speed in knots
(coming from the Navigation Database or pilot-entered) at the waypoint identified on the same line. Speed
constraints require an altitude constraint at same waypoint. Speed constraints may be manually entered,
modified and deleted (1 to 999 Knots).
The speed/altitude constraints extracted from the navigation database are displayed in small font.
The field to scratchpad transfer of speed constraint is rejected.
ALTITUDE CONSTRAINTS (or RESTRICTIONS) [1R, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R]: Display of mandatory altitude -
constraints (coming from the Navigation Database or pilot-entered) in one of the following ways:
• The suffix A identifies a crossing restriction at or above the displayed value (example display A: 1600A
means cross D173J at or above 1600 feet).
• The suffix B identifies a crossing restriction at or below the displayed value (example display B: FL350B
means cross YZP at or below flight level 350).
• Two flight level values separated by "-" identify an altitude window crossing restriction (example display B:
300-320 means cross N51W125 between flight levels 300 and 320).
The speed/altitude constraints extracted from the navigation database are displayed in small font.If the FMS is
configured for VNAV, approach and approach transition waypoint altitude constraints are temperature-
compensated, provided that destination airport temperature was entered on the VNAV page. Temperature-
compensated altitudes constraints are displayed in reverse video white.
Altitude constraints may be manually entered, modified and deleted, given the following rules:
• Navigation Database constraints can never be deleted. They can only be modified. Deletion of pilot-
entered constraint brings back the original constraint (if any) from the Navigation Database.
• For SIDS, approach, tactical approach (if configured), approach-transition and missed approach waypoints
(except for altitude terminated legs), the pilot cannot enter an altitude restriction lower than the one from the
Navigation Database or the one as determined by the tactical approach geometry computation if configured
for tactical approaches.
• For altitude terminated legs, the altitude constraint cannot be modified. The range for constraint is from 1 to
65000 Feet.
• Entries of three digits or less are considered as a flight level unless the waypoint is part of the final
approach, in which case all entries are interpreted in feet.
• Entries of four or five digits are considered to be an altitude in feet.
• Entries with a decimal point are rejected.
ROUTE TERMINATION: Dash prompts follow the last waypoint of the route.
ROUTE DISCONTINUITY: The route is not forming a continuous path of linked waypoints. A discontinuity will
be inserted into the flight plan if the end of the leg is indeterminate. The route discontinuity can be removed by
close up, e.g. by copying a waypoint following the discontinuity to a position preceding or on the discontinuity.
ERASE [6L]: Displayed only when a route modification is in progress. Used to erase modifications. If confirm
erase route modifications is configured, then upon pressing ERASE a confirmation is requested by displaying
CANCEL and CONFIRM prompts on line select keys 6L and 6R respectively.
RESTORE [6L]: Displayed only if the Route was erased on the RTE 1/X page. Used to restore the active
route.
CANCEL [6L]: {If ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM} Cancel the changes made to the inactive route.
LEGS ETA [6R]: Access to the corresponding RTE LEGS ETA Y/X page.
MAP CTR STEP [6R]: Prompt appears when EFIS CP is in PLAN mode. Used to move the center of the EFIS
MAP display to the next waypoint in the flight plan.
INTC CRS XXX° [6R]: Not shown. Prompt appears on a Direct-To leg entry, except for a moving waypoint. A
desired inbound course to the Direct-To Waypoint may be entered by keying the course into the scratchpad and
pressing LSK 6R.
HOLD PPOS [6R]: Not shown. Prompt appears on pressing of HOLD key in flight. Used to define a Holding
Pattern at present position. Access to the HOLD 1/X page.
MISSED APPR [6R]: Not shown. If configured for display, prompt appears during final GPS instrument
approach with no route modification in progress. If the prompt is configured for display, pressing the line select
key adjacent to the prompt, the FMS will automatically sequence the Missed Approach Point (MAP) to the
missed approach procedure.
NEXT WPT [6R]: Not shown. Prompt is displayed when automatic waypoint sequencing is not possible.
Examples include when the active leg is vector, or an altitude-terminated leg without a Baro-Corrected Altitude
input. Pressing NEXT WPT results in an immediate transition of navigation and guidance to the next waypoint
in the flight plan.
CONFIRM [6R]: {If ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM} Confirm the changes made to the inactive route.
(SAVE?): Displayed between the CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts when the inactive route is in modification.
FAF,MAP,CTR, MOV: FAF is displayed when the waypoint is defined as the Final Approach Fix. MAP is
displayed when waypoint is defined as the Missed Approach Point. CTR also appears in the title when in MAP
CTR STEP mode. MOV is displayed when the waypoint is a moving waypoint. All are displayed in reverse white
color.
IP, TP, SD, CRP, XTE, ESC: CARP Procedure waypoint indications are displayed in reverse white.
Provides the ETA and EFA for each waypoint on the corresponding RTE LEGS Y/X page.

ACT/MOD/blank(STATUS): MOD indicates the search is not being executed. ACT indicates that the search
pattern is being executed. "blank" indicates an executed search fix has not been reached.
ID [1L] ]: Name of starting search pattern waypoint. If a search pattern waypoint is defined in the route, its
identifier is displayed in the field and no entry is allowed. Otherwise, entries are allowed and the entered
identifier is displayed, if any. If no entries were made to both ID & REF ID fields, 5 boxes “ ” are
displayed. Else, if an entry was made in REF ID field, 5 dashes “-----“ are displayed.
NOTE: When a new ID is entered the operator should clear the relative bearing and distance data field relative
to the previous ID by pressing [NEXT] then [PREV].
DIAMETER [1R]: Value of the leg diameter (between 0.1 and 40 nm), default value is 4 nm. Subsequent
change of the parameter value, validated by pressing the <ACTIVATE> softkey followed by the EXEC key, will
become the new default value. This default value is preserved even after a cold-start.
REF ID [2L]: Name of waypoint considered being a reference for the relative bearing/distance elements
entered in the fields 3L and 4L. If a Search pattern waypoint is defined in route, the field is filled with 5 dashes “-
----“ and no entry is allowed. Otherwise, entries are allowed and the entered identifier is displayed, if any. If no
entries were made to both ID & REF ID fields, 5 boxes “ ” are displayed. Else, if an entry has been made
in ID field, 5 dashes “-----“ are displayed.
ANGLE [2R]: Value of the angle (between 5 and 90°) of the search sector “slice”, default value is 30°.
Subsequent change of the parameter value, validated by pressing the <ACTIVATE> softkey followed by the
EXEC key, will become the new default value. This default value is preserved even after a cold-start.
RELATIVE BRG [3L]: The relative bearing of the search pattern entry waypoint compared to the reference REF
ID. This field is displayed as long as REF ID contains an entry and the displayed default value is 000°.
SAR BRG [3R]: Value of the bearing (TRUE or MAG) of the first leg in the Search pattern (000T or 000° is the
default value).
DISTANCE [4L]: The distance of the search pattern entry waypoint from the reference REF ID. This field is
displayed as long as REF ID contains an entry and the displayed default value is 10.0 nm.
MAX GS (4L): The maximum Ground Speed required to fly the pattern without overshoot. This field is displayed
only after a valid waypoint identifier has been entered, and is mutually exclusive with the DISTANCE field.
This maximum ground speed is re-computed every time a modification is performed on the search parameters
(track spacing, leg length, diameter or angle).
ACTIVE SAR [4R]: Type of the active search pattern present in the flight plan. When there is no active search
pattern “none” is displayed.
PPOS [5L]: The search pattern is started at the present position. Toggles between PPOS and CURRENT WPT
# (displayed only after the search pattern is active). The PPOS prompt becomes available only for the active route
in the air and if the active route does not contain another search pattern waypoint.
CURRENT WPT (5L): Number of the search waypoint towards which the aircraft flies. This value increases as
the aircraft overfly the search waypoints. The default value for this field is 01.
ENTRY WPT [5R]: Number of the search pattern entry waypoint. Displayed only for a search pattern waypoint
in progress and only on the Search page of the selected pattern. The default value of this field is 01 and can be
manually entered (changed) as long as the search was not executed. After the search was executed, the value
of this field stays fixed and cannot be manually changed (unless INTERRUPT/RESUME was pressed). The field
value remains fixed but can be modified manually by first interrupting (via INTERRUPT prompt) the search
pattern and then resuming it (via RESUME prompt) at a new ENTRY WPT value. If a search is cancelled or
erased (before being execution) the value of this field returns to its default value.
• 01 if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• 00 for all other EFIS types.
The allowed range of input values for this field is:
• [02->80] if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• [01->79] for all other EFIS types.
(SAVE?): Displayed between the CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts when the inactive route is in modification.
ERASE [6L]: Cancels the changes made to the modified modifications is configured, then upon pressing
ERASE a confirmation is requested by displaying CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts on line select keys 6L and 6R
respectively.
CANCEL [6L]: {If ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM} Erase all the fields and set the Search parameters
back to their default values. For the inactive route only, it also cancel the modifications made to the inactive route
and command display of the LEGS page, if the cancellation follow modifications to the inactive route. CANCEL
appears:
• In active route (not modified) only when the <ACTIVATE> softkey is present (e.g. Search pattern
parameters are entered in the SAR page but no Search pattern waypoints are defined in the route) in the
modified inactive route.
RESTORE [6L]: Is displayed only if the RTE was erased on the RTE 1/X page. Used to restore the active
route.
ACTIVATE/INTERRUPT/RESUME/CONFIRM [6R]:
• ACTIVATE is displayed (in green) only when the pattern is not active in the active route or the modified active
route and after the fields on the page are filled. It creates the search pattern waypoint into the modified active
route, if no search pattern waypoint already exists. Otherwise, it is used to confirm further modifications to the
search pattern waypoint. Once the search pattern waypoint is activated but not in progress yet, the search
pattern parameters can be modified at will (LENGTH, WIDTH, TRUE BRG, ENTRY WPT #) causing
CANCEL/ERASE/ ACTIVATE prompts to reappear every time a parameter is modified. If the search procedure
is created using the Search menu ([INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL>, <SQUARE> or <LADDER> or
<SECTOR>, ACTIVATE enters the search waypoint as the first waypoint in the flight plan (followed by a
discontinuity and the rest of the waypoints). If the search procedure is created using “/S” on the LEGS page, the
ACTIVATE softkey updates the search pattern waypoint parameters.
• INTERRUPT is used to initiate an interruption of the search pattern. When the INTERRUPT LSK is pressed, its
color changes from green to inverse green, the active search pattern becomes a modified one, and the EXEC
lamp illuminates. The current waypoint # field freezes to the number of the last TO search waypoint and
disables the steering command (upon [EXEC] key press).
• RESUME is used when a SAR pattern needs to be restarted from a search waypoint entered in the ENTRY
WPT # field (LSK 5R). When the RESUME LSK is pressed, its color changes from green to inverse green, the
EXEC lamp illuminates, and a value can be entered in the ENTRY WPT # field (an entry the ENTRY WPT # is
permitted only after <RESUME> was pressed).
• For modified active route: CONFIRM is displayed if ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM. For modified
inactive route: CONFIRM is used to confirm the changes made to the inactive route. However, when it is
displayed following the creation of a search pattern waypoint into the modified inactive route or following
modifications to the search parameters in the inactive route, then pressing the CONFIRM prompt will confirm
the changes made to the search pattern and other changes made to the inactive route (same functionality as
the ACTIVATE prompt for the active route & modified active route).
After an INTERRUPT on the first leg of a search pattern, the re-entry into the pattern using RESUME is not
permitted on the search origin (e.g. ENTRY WPT # cannot be equal to 1).
NOTES:
• The INTERRUPT/RESUME keys is displayed only on the search pattern page corresponding to the executed
pattern (e.g. if a LADDER pattern was executed, INTERRUPT/RESUME appears only on the LADDER pattern
page).
• Pressing the ACTIVATE prompt, while valid entries exist for REF ID, RELATIVE BRG & DISTANCE fields,
will cause the creation of a search pattern waypoint located at the position of the REF ID waypoint offset by
the BRG/DIS fields elements. A new waypoint identifier will be created and displayed in the ID field. The
REF ID field will be filled with dashes and the RELATIVE BRG & DIST fields (title and data) will disappear.
• Entering a valid waypoint identifier in the ID field, while valid entries already exist for REF ID, RELATIVE
BRG and DISTANCE fields, will cause the REF ID field to be filled with dashes and the RELATIVE BRG and
DISTANCE fields (title and data) to disappear.
To access SQUARE 1/1page, press [INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL> and <SQUARE> (active route) or
[INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL>, [NEXT], and <SQUARE> (inactive route) or
[TACT], <SQUARE> {if TACT key configured and SQUARE configured on the TACTICAL page} or
LEGS], “/S” in scratchpad entered next to the Search waypoint already defined as a Square pattern or by default
upon creation of a Search pattern waypoint.
Automatically accessed whenever a route is executed when a search pattern that has not been activated is
present in the modified route. The displayed SAR page is selected in the following order of priority:
• the current page, if already in a SAR page; or
• the last modified SAR page; or
• the last selected SAR page from DES+SAR or TACTICAL page.
NOTE: Each pressing of the [NEXT]/[PREV] key will cause the display of the three search pattern pages:
SQUARE, SECTOR, or LADDER.
A. When creating a SQUARE SAR from the Active route SQUARE 1/1 page (before pressing <ACTIVATE>):
5L <PPOS 5R
6L <CANCEL ACTIVATE> 6R
B. When SQUARE SAR is in progress in the Active route SQUARE 1/1 page:

ID [1L]: Name of starting search pattern waypoint. If a search pattern waypoint is defined in the route, its
identifier is displayed in the field and no entry is allowed. Otherwise, entries are allowed and the entered
identifier is displayed.
NOTE: When a new ID is entered the operator should clear the relative bearing and distance data field relative
to the previous ID by pressing [NEXT] then [PREV].
TRACK SPACING [1R]: Value of the leg length (between 0.1 and 40 nm). The parameter is kept in NVM and
its initial default value is 2.0 nm. Subsequent change of the parameter value, validated by pressing the
<ACTIVATE> softkey followed by the EXEC key, will become the new default value. This default value is
preserved even after a cold-start.
REF ID [2L]: Name of waypoint considered being a reference for the relative bearing/distance elements
entered in the fields 3L and 4L. If a search pattern waypoint is defined in route, the field is filled with 5 dashes “--
---“ and no entry is allowed. Otherwise, entries are allowed and the entered identifier is displayed.
RELATIVE BRG [3L]: The relative bearing of the search pattern entry waypoint compared to the reference
REF. This field is displayed as long as REF ID contains an entry and the displayed default value is 000T or
000°.
SAR BRG [3R]: Value of the bearing (TRUE or MAG) of the first leg in the Search pattern (000T or 000° is the
default value).
DISTANCE [4L]: The distance of the search pattern entry waypoint from the reference REF ID. This field is
displayed as long as REF ID contains an entry and the displayed default value is 10.0 nm.
MAX GS (4L): The maximum Ground Speed required to fly the pattern without overshoot. This field is displayed
only after a valid waypoint identifier has been entered, and is mutually exclusive with the DISTANCE field.
This maximum ground speed is re-computed every time a modification is performed on the search parameters
(track spacing, leg length, diameter or angle).
ACTIVE SAR [4R]: Type of the active search pattern present in the flight plan. When there is no active search
pattern “none” is displayed.
PPOS [5L]: The search pattern is started at the present position. Toggles between PPOS and CURRENT WPT
# (displayed only after the search pattern is active). The PPOS prompt becomes available only for the active route
in the air and if the active route does not contain another search pattern waypoint.
CURRENT WPT (5L): Number of the search waypoint towards which the aircraft flies. This value increases as
the aircraft overfly the search waypoints. The default value for this field is:
• [02->80] if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• [01->79] for all other EFIS types.
ENTRY WPT [5R]: Number of the search pattern entry waypoint. Displayed only for a search pattern waypoint
in progress and only on the Search page of the selected pattern. The default value of this field is 01 and can be
manually entered (changed) as long as the search hasn't been executed. After the search was executed, the
value of this field stays fixed and cannot be manually changed (unless INTERRUPT/RESUME was pressed).
The field value remains fixed but can be modified manually by first interrupting (via INTERRUPT prompt) the
search pattern and then resuming it (via RESUME prompt) at a new ENTRY WPT value. If a search is cancelled
or erased (before being execution) the value of this field returns to its default value:
• 01 if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• 00 for all other EFIS types.
The allowed range of input values for this field is:
• [02->80] if an EFIS of type IFDS is configured;
• [01->79] for all other EFIS types.
(SAVE?): Displayed between the CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts when the inactive route is in modification.
ERASE [6L]: Cancel the changes made to the modified active route. If confirm erase route modifications is
configured, then upon pressing ERASE a confirmation is requested by displaying CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts
on line select keys 6L and 6R respectively.
CANCEL [6L]: {If ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM} Erase all the fields and set the search parameters
back to their default values. For the inactive route only, it also cancel the modifications made to the inactive route
and command display of the LEGS page, if the cancellation follow modifications to the inactive route. CANCEL
appears:
• in active route (not modified) only when the <ACTIVATE> softkey is present (e.g. Search pattern
parameters are entered in the SAR page but no search pattern waypoints are defined in the route) in the
modified inactive route.
RESTORE [6L]: Is displayed only if the RTE was erased on the RTE 1/X page. Used to restore the active
route.
ACTIVATE/INTERRUPT/RESUME/CONFIRM [6R]:
• ACTIVATE is displayed (in green) only when the pattern is not active in the active route or the modified active
route and after the fields on the page are filled. It creates the search pattern waypoint into the modified active
route, if no search pattern waypoint already exists. Otherwise, it is used to confirm further modifications to the
search pattern waypoint. Once the search pattern waypoint is activated but not in progress yet, the search
pattern parameters can be modified at will (LENGTH, WIDTH, TRUE BRG, ENTRY WPT #) causing
CANCEL/ERASE/ ACTIVATE prompts to reappear every time a parameter is modified. If the search procedure
is created using the Search menu ([INIT REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL>, <SQUARE> or <LADDER> or
<SECTOR>, ACTIVATE enters the search waypoint as the first waypoint in the flight plan (followed by a
discontinuity and the rest of the waypoints). If the search procedure is created using “/S” on the LEGS page, the
<ACTIVATE> softkey updates the Search pattern waypoint parameters.
• INTERRUPT is used to initiate an interruption of the search pattern. When the INTERRUPT LSK is pressed, its
color changes from green to inverse green, the active search pattern becomes a modified one, and the EXEC
lamp illuminates. The current waypoint # field freezes to the number of the last TO-search waypoint and
disables the steering command (upon [EXEC] key press).
• RESUME is used when a SAR pattern needs to be restarted from a search waypoint entered in the ENTRY
WPT # field (LSK 5R). When the RESUME LSK is pressed, its color changes from green to inverse green, the
EXEC lamp illuminates, and a value can be entered in the ENTRY WPT # field (an entry the ENTRY WPT # is
permitted only after <RESUME> was pressed).
• For modified active route: CONFIRM is displayed if ERASE MODS is configured as CONFIRM. For modified
inactive route: CONFIRM is used to confirm the changes made to the inactive route. However, when it is
displayed following the creation of a search pattern waypoint into the modified inactive route or following
modifications to the search parameters in the inactive route, then pressing the CONFIRM prompt will confirm
the changes made to the search pattern and other changes made to the inactive route (same functionality as
the ACTIVATE prompt for the active route & modified active route).
After an INTERRUPT on the first leg of a search pattern, the re-entry into the pattern using RESUME is not
permitted on the search origin (e.g. ENTRY WPT # cannot be equal to 1).
NOTES:
• The INTERRUPT/RESUME keys is displayed only on the search pattern page corresponding to the executed
pattern (e.g. if a LADDER pattern was executed, INTERRUPT/RESUME appears only on the LADDER pattern
page).
• Pressing the ACTIVATE prompt, while valid entries exist for REF ID, RELATIVE BRG & DISTANCE fields,
will cause the creation of a search pattern waypoint located at the position of the REF ID waypoint offset by

GROSS WT [1L]: Total aircraft gross weight. Range 6000kg to 11000kg. Initially displays in normal video the
current active value per the FUEL 1/2 page. May be manually overwritten for simulation causing the value to
appear in reverse video and forcing the calculation of a new fly away height. Inversely, entry of a fly away height
will cause this field to display a new gross weight in normal video. When computed, the advisory NO FLY AWAY
will appear if:
Current active gross weight minus fuel weight (excluding reserve) is greater than Computed gross weight.
The advisory will disappear if the pilot clears it or the page is exited or new simulated values are entered
causing the fly away condition to be met. If the default value is not available or its value exceeds the range of
computation, the advisory GROSS WT NOT VALID will appear. Upon manual entry, pilot clearance of the
message or exiting the page, the advisory will disappear.
FLY AWAY HT [1R]: Fly away height. Minimum height to maintain in hover. This corresponds to the
maximum drop in height upon loss of an engine during Hover. Calculated and displayed in normal video initially
and upon entry of gross weight. Manual entry will be displayed in reverse video and cause a recalculation of
gross weight. The advisory NO FLY AWAY will appear if:
Radio Altimeter Height minus fly away height is less than 15ft
The advisory will disappear if the pilot clears it, or the page is exited, or new simulated values are entered
causing the FLY AWAY condition to be met.
NOTE: As the fly away height data chart depends upon wind speed and mass index the minimum/maximum
range varies infinitely for different scenarios and as such the input range cannot be specified.
PRESS ALT [3L]: Pressure altitude. Valid range -2000ft to +12000ft. Defaults to the current pressure altitude
in normal video. Manual entry is displayed in reverse video and causes a recalculation of Gross Weight or Fly
Away Height depending on which data was being simulated as well as a recalculation of One Engine Inoperative
Out of Ground Effect Weight if the Outside Air Temperature is available and valid. If the default value is not

ACT/MOD/" " (title): ACT will appear when the active waypoint is part of the tactical approach procedure.
MOD will appear when the crew is in the process of modifying the flight plan. A blank field will indicate the
tactical approach has been defined but is not yet active.
REF WPT ID [1L]: This field will allow the crew to enter a reference waypoint identifier in order to set the
position of the TIAF waypoint in the horizontal plane. Upon entry of the REF WPT ID, the fields RAD/DIS are
set to 0 deg/0.00 nm and the TIAF waypoint is located at the REF WPT ID position. The valid range for radial
and distance are angle between 0 and 360 degrees and distance between 0 and 999 nm respectively. When
EXEC button is pressed or DELETE is entered on this field, the REF WPT ID is deleted. If the reference
position does locate the TIAF waypoint outside the permitted range, an advisory message will be displayed in
the scratchpad indicating that the TIAF location is invalid.
TIAF [2L]: This field will allow the crew to select the Initial Approach Course and the TIAF-to-TFAF distance.
i) Initial Approach Course:
By default, the Initial Approach Course is displayed as dashes if no course is entered at the LSK 4L. When
the Final Approach Course (LSK 4L) is entered, the Initial Approach Course is updated with its value. Refer
to SWOP40603 for the minimum, maximum and default value of IAC.
IAA (2L): This field will display the FMS computed Intermediate Approach Angle. This angle shown in this field
is display only and cannot be modified by the operator. The value is left justified and always displayed with one
decimal. Refer to SWOP40603 for the minimum, maximum and default value of IAA.
TFAF [3L]: This field will allow the crew to visualize the Final Approach Course to change the TFAF-to-TMAP
distance.
i) Final Approach Course:
The Final Approach Course is the same value that is entered at the LSK 4L.
ii) TFAF-to-MAP distance:
The distance is left justified and displayed with 4 characters. A slash "/" must be typed before this value in
the scratch pad followed by the desired distance. Refer to SWOP40603 for the minimum, maximum and
default value of TFAF-to-MAP distance.
FINAL APPROACH COURSE (FAC) [4L]: This field will allow the crew to enter the Final Approach Course,
which is the runway course. This field is a mandatory entry, when no course has been entered, boxes are
displayed ([][][]). This field is always displayed in white large font. The field title display the runway threshold
waypoint ident (MAP waypoint). Value will be between 0 and 360 degrees inclusively.
VPA [5L]: The FMS will allow crew entry/modification of the VPA (Vertical Path Angle) in degrees required to
define the tactical approach geometry. The value is left justified and always displayed with one decimal. Refer to
SWOP40603 for the minimum, maximum and default value of the VPA. VPA entries can be either positive or
negative. As such, the FMS will show the value as a negative number on the TACTICAL APPR page and will
(for internal computational purposes) accordingly change the sign convention to properly
define the geometry.
ERASE [6L]: When selected, the FMS will allow the crew to erase any route modifications associated to tactical
approach
selections.
CANCEL [6L]: When selected, the FMS will cancel changes made to the inactive route (or active route if the
'ERASE
MODS' option is set to 'CONFIRM').
RAD/DIS [1R]: Radial/distance from the reference position to the desired TIAF waypoint position. The values
are blanked, when no REF WPT ID is defined, otherwise zeros are displayed as the default values. No entries
are allowed, when the fields are blanked. Manual entry automatically updates the TIAF location. RAD and DIS
values may be entered individually or simultaneously; a '/' symbol preceding a value in the scratchpad indicates
only the DIS value must be updated.
ALT [2R]: This field will allow the crew to enter the altitude constraint at the TIAF in ft. The entry is valid as long
as the computed IAA is within the permitted range.
ALT [3R]: This field will display as well as allow the crew to enter the altitude constraint at the TFAF in ft. The
entry is valid as long as the computed VPA and IAA are within the permitted range.
RWY ELEV [4R]: This field is a mandatory crew entry of the runway threshold elevation for the tactical
approach. This field is used in defining the tactical approach geometry. The valid range for this field is -1000 to
25000. If the selected tactical approach runway threshold waypoint entered by the crew exists in the user
database as a user airport waypoint, then the FMS will automatically store its corresponding elevation value into
this field. The user database's airport waypoint value for the field elevation will then become the default value for
this entry.
TRANS LVL (5R): This field will display the current transition level defined on the PLAN DATA page. This field
is a display only field.
CONFIRM [6R]: When selected, the FMS will allow the crew to confirm tactical approach changes made to the
inactive route (or active route if the 'ERASE MODS' option is set to 'CONFIRM').
2. [INIT/ REF], <DES+SAR> or <TACTICAL>, [NEXT], <TACT APPR>, [NEXT] if a valid tactical approach
waypoint had previously been entered.
This page is used to customize the tactical missed approach when the tactical approach is created manually.
When the missed approach point (MAP) has not been defined, only the default parameters are displayed on the
page. Once the MAP course and elevation have been defined from the TACTICAL APPR 1/3 page, the altitudes
constraints and leg courses are computed and displayed.

TITLE: TIMER
ALARM TIME [1L]: Display and entry of a count-up alarm event time (UTC or local time based on SETUP
page selection). If a countdown time was entered and activated (with START LSK 5L), the time at which the
countdown timer will expire is displayed. Upon data entry when the timer is active, the countdown time is
adjusted accordingly. Upon data entry when the timer is not active, the countdown time shows dashes. If the
timer is not activated and an alarm time is being displayed, pressing [CLR] puts dashes for the alarm time and
sets the countdown time to 0000:00; otherwise, resetting is not permitted and an advisory message is displayed.
Entering a non-valid time format or out of range value generates an invalid format or out of range advisory
message respectively.
COUNTDOWN [1R]: Time display and entry for countdown timer. Decreases to 0000:00 when the timer is
activated and then shows dashes automatically. The allowable data entry range is from 0000:00 to 2359:59. If
an alarm time was entered and activated (with START), the time remaining to reach the alarm time is displayed.
Upon data entry when the timer is active, the alarm time is adjusted accordingly. Upon data entry when the timer
is not active, the alarm time shows dashes. If the timer is not activated and a non-zero countdown time is being
displayed, pressing [CLR] sets the countdown time to 0000:00; otherwise, resetting is not permitted and an
advisory message is displayed. Entering a non-valid time format or out of range value generates an invalid
format or out of range advisory message respectively.
ADD 5 MIN [2R]: Adds 5 minutes to the alarm and/or countdown time, whichever is being displayed. If no
alarm or countdown time is being displayed, the countdown time will be set to 5 minutes. Displayed only if
adding 5 minutes to the countdown value will not cause it to exceed its maximum range value.
ADD 15 MIN [3R]: Adds 15 minutes to the alarm and/or countdown time, whichever is being displayed. If no
alarm or countdown time is being displayed, the countdown time will be set to 15 minutes. Displayed only if
adding 15 minutes to the countdown value will not cause it to exceed its maximum range value.
ADD 30 MIN [4R]: Adds 30 minutes to the alarm and/or countdown time, whichever is being displayed. If no
alarm or countdown time is being displayed, the countdown time will be set to 30 minutes. Displayed only if
adding 30 minutes to the countdown value will not cause it to exceed its maximum range value.
START [5L]: Pressing this softkey activates the timer. Displayed only if an alarm time or non-zero countdown
time is being displayed and the timer is not already activated. With the TIMER ALARM alert message set but
not cleared, starting the timer removes the alert message.
STOP [5L]: Pressing this softkey deactivates the timer. The countdown time stops decreasing and the alarm
time shows dashes. Displayed only if the timer is activated and has not expired.
CLEAR [5R]: Clears the TIMER ALARM alert message (if timer expired), deactivates the timer (if activated),
sets the alarm time to dashes and sets the countdown time to 0000:00. Displayed only if the alarm time and/or
non-zero countdown time is being displayed.
NOTE: “TIMER ALARM” message will be displayed in the scratchpad when the alarm timer goes off. This is an
Alert message type and will not illuminate the MSG annunciator.
TMP UPDATE POS 2/2 (If CARP, PREDEF PG and either EGI or IRS are configured)
This page is used for applying temporary position offsets on CARP procedure waypoint. The position update is
performed by a mark on top operation. The mark on top operation can be performed by over flying a reference
waypoint or flying by the waypoint and entering a relative bearing/distance that could be obtained from radar or
other device.
During temporary position updates, the FMS position is not affected, but the flight plan waypoints for the CARP
tactical function are shifted while and only while the procedure is active.
Upon exit and re-entry to the TMP UPDATE POS page via the UPDATE POS 1/2 page, all user data entry fields
maintain their previous values.
No entry is allowed, in any field on this page, when any of the following conditions occur:
• The inactive route is in a modified state, or
• CARP is not active, or
• CARP calculations are frozen, or
• NO CARP SOLUTION is being displayed.

MOD/" " (title): MOD indicates an active flight plan modification has not been EXECuted yet; otherwise, the
field is blank.
REF [1L]: This field displays the reference position. Successively pressing this LSK with an empty scratchpad,
the REF changes between the system position (FMS), and a waypoint ID entry prompt (----).
When the waypoint ID entry prompt (----) is displayed the user can specify a waypoint ID via the scratchpad.
When this page is accessed via the MARK key on the CARP PROGRESS page this field will contain the IP
identifier by default. When FMS is displayed the FMS computed position is used as reference. This is the default
state when accessed via the UPDATE POS 1/2 page.
BRG/DIST/XTK OFFSET [1R]: This field displays the vector that is added to the REF ID position to generate
the UPDT POS position. Two formats are supported. Except when the reference is FMS, pressing the LSK with
an empty scratchpad causes the display to toggle between the two formats.
The default format is BRG/DIST: bearing (in degrees clockwise from North - either True or Magnetic depending
on setup page) and distance (in nautical miles). The default values for the BRG/DIST format are 0 with valid
range of 0 to 360 degrees and 0.00 to 99.9 nautical miles.
The second format is XTK OFFSET and is not available when REF is FMS: cross-track distance from the REF
position to the closest point along the path passing through the aircraft position and in the direction of the
heading. L indicates the aircraft is to the left of the ID point, R is to the right. The default value is R0 with valid
range from 000 to 999 feet.
UPDATE POSITION [2L]: This field displays the position from which the marked FMS position is to be
subtracted to compute a position correction vector. Once the position update is completed and executed, this
position correction vector is subtracted from the CARP procedure waypoint positions. UPDATE POSITION may
be entered manually via the scratchpad; otherwise it is computed as the sum of the REF position and the
BRG/DIST or XTK OFFSET vector.
When entered manually, the REF and BRG/DIST fields are set to ----; otherwise
When the REF is FMS, this field changes value as the FMS position changes until the MARK LSK is pressed, at
which time it is frozen.
When the REF is a waypoint ID, this field is static.
MODE (4L): This field displays the marked FMS navigation mode.
ACCUR (4L): This field displays the horizontal position accuracy of the marked FMS position (in nautical miles).
POS DIFF (4R): This field displays the bearing and distance from the FMS position to the UPDATE POSITION.
Prior to pressing the MARK key, the current FMS position is used, and after pressing the MARK key, the marked
FMS position is used. When the REF is FMS, this field equals that of the BRG/DIST. The default values are 0
and 0.00 respectively. Range is from 0 to 360 degrees and from 0.00 to 999 nautical miles.
CANCEL UPDATE [5R]: This LSK is used to perform manual cancellation of the temporary position update.
Pressing the LSK triggers the ERASE prompts to appear, the MOD status to be displayed, and the EXEC key to
be lit. When no temporary position update is active or mark has been pressed (and not cancelled), this field is
blank and pressing the LSK has no effect.
CARP PROG [6L]: This LSK is used to access the CARP PROGRESS page.
CANCEL [6L]: This LSK is used to cancel the marked position. Displayed only once the CARP MARK key has
been pressed.
ERASE [6L]: Cancels any route modifications and any temporary offset that has not yet been executed. Only
displayed when the page is displaying the MOD status.
CARP MARK [6R]: This LSK is used to mark the current FMS position.
UPDATE POS 1/1 (if PREDEF PAGE and IRS, EGI or DVS interface is configured) or UPDATE POS 1/2 (if
CARP is configured)
This page allows manual updates of the following navigation mode positions to be performed:
INS/GPS {SIGMA50H EGI configuration only},
INS/DVS {SIGMA50H EGI configuration only},
INS {IRS or LN_100GT EGI configuration only}, and/or
DVS {DVS configuration only}.
For the SIGMA50H EGI, a manual update of the INS/DVS will automatically update the INS/GPS, and vice-
versa.
Three basic methods of performing a navigation mode position update are supported:
Update by Overfly and Mark of a Known Position,
Update by Weather Radar Joystick Position Selection {Weather Radar (WXR) configuration only or
AHCAS/AHCAS2 EFIS configuration}, and
Update using another navigation mode position.
These methods are briefly described below.
1. The user flies to the known position and presses the MARK key as the known position is overflown. The
MARK key may be the physical hard key or the softkey on the UPDATE POS page per CFG KEY
configuration settings.
2. If the MARK hard key was pressed, the PREDEF WPT page automatically appears with the MARK ON TOP
field containing the CMA-9000 FMS position at the time the MARK key was pressed. If the MARK softkey
was pressed, the UPDATE POS page is already being displayed.
3. The user selects <UPDATE POS>, bringing forth the UPDATE POS page with the CMA-9000 FMS position
as reference. The displayed data corresponds to the positions when the MARK key was pressed.
4. The user presses <REF>, bringing forth an entry prompt ( ).
5. The user enters the known position. The position may be entered directly in the UPDATE POS field, or
indirectly with an identifier with or without an offset.
6. The user selects the navigators for which a position update is sought.
7. The user presses <CONFIRM>. The CMA-9000 FMS then updates the selected navigators with the position
indicated in the UPDATE POS field.
Update by Weather Radar Joystick Position Selection {WXR or AHCAS/AHCAS2 configuration only}
1. The user selects a known position on the weather radar using a joystick.
2. The PREDEF WPT page automatically appears with the LAST JOYSTICK field containing the position
transmitted by the weather radar or received from AHCAS/AHCAS2 EFIS.
3. The user selects <UPDATE POS>, bringing forth the UPDATE POS page with JOYSTICK as reference. The
displayed data corresponds to the positions when the joystick position was received.
4. The user enters the true josytick position. The position may be entered directly or with an identifier. The
UPDATE POS field will get automatically updated by the CMA-9000 FMS.
5. The user selects the navigators for which a position update is sought.
6. The user presses <CONFIRM>. The CMA-9000 FMS then updates the selected navigators with the position
indicated in the UPDATE POS field.
1. The user verifies the CMA-9000 FMS Navigation mode on the PROGRESS or POS INIT pages corresponds
to the mode from which an update position will be obtained. The user may deselect some navigation modes
by pressing [INIT REF],<NAV STATUS>, <DESELECT>.
2. The user presses the MARK key. The MARK key may be the physical hard key or the softkey on the
UPDATE POS page per CFG KEY configuration settings.
3. If the MARK hard key was pressed, the PREDEF WPT page automatically appears. If the MARK softkey
was pressed, the UPDATE POS page is already being displayed.
4. The user selects <UPDATE POS>, bringing forth the UPDATE POS page with the CMA-9000 FMS position
as reference. The displayed data corresponds to the positions when the MARK key was pressed.
5. The user selects the navigators for which a position update is sought.
6. The user presses <CONFIRM>. The CMA-9000 FMS then updates the selected navigators with the position
indicated in the UPDATE POS field.

POS [1R]: User waypoint position in the selected coordinate system and datum. Automatically displayed if the
user waypoint identifier entered exists. Manual entry forces default value to appear in the REF WPT ID and REF
WPT POS and RAD/DIS fields and automatically updates the BRG/DIS field. For moving waypoints, the value
will be recomputed and displayed at a minimum rate of once every second. The default value is boxes.
FREE(1R): Number of user waypoint free slots in user database (460 user waypoints max.) The number
displayed is always the difference between 460 and number of fixed and moving waypoints (460 - no of fixed
waypoint - no of moving waypoint).
BRG/DIS [2L]: Bearing and distance from the current aircraft position to the waypoint. Manual entry forces
default value to appear in the REF WPT ID and REF WPT POS and RAD/DIS fields and automatically updates
the POS field. BRG and DIS values may be entered individually or simultaneously; a ‘/’ symbol preceding a
value in the scratchpad indicates only the DIS value must be updated. The values will be recomputed and
displayed at a minimum rate of once every second. The default values are dashes, and the minimum/maximum
values for the bearing are 0/360 degrees and 0/999 nm for the distance.
TK/GS [2R]: Track angle and ground speed of moving waypoint. TK and GS values may be entered
individually or simultaneously; a ‘/’ symbol appended to a value in the scratchpad indicates only the TK value
must be updated. The default value is boxes, and the minimum/ maximum values for the track angle are 0/360
degrees and 0/999 Kts for the ground speed.
TYPE [3L]: FIXED or MOVING waypoint type indication. The default upon entry in the page will be FIXED, as
applicable. The toggling is only possible when adding a new user waypoint.
REF WPT ID [4L]: Reference waypoint identifier with dashes as default value. Entry of an identifier will display
its position in the REF WPT POS field and the POS and BRG/DIS fields will be automatically updated. When
entering a moving waypoint as a reference waypoint, the waypoint's position computed at the time of the entry
will be used. In the case of a MARK ON TOP position used as a reference from the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page, the
REF WPT ID field displays the identifier "ONTOP". In the case of a LAST JOYSTICK position used as a
reference from the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page, the REF WPT ID field displays the identifier "JSTCK". In the case of
a LAST PLS position used as a reference from the PREDEF WPT 2/2 page, the REF WPT ID field displays
either the identifier "PLS" when PLS CUBIC AN/ARS6 is configured, or the identifier "SVxxx" where xxx is a
number between 001 and 127 when PLS CUBIC V12 is configured. In the case of a FLIR position used as a
reference from the PREDEF WPT 3/3 page, the REF WPT ID field displays the identifier “FLIR”.
RAD/DIS[4R]: Radial/distance from the reference position to the desired user waypoint position. The values are
blanked, when no REF WPT POS is defined, otherwise zeros are displayed as the default values. No entries are
allowed, when the fields are blanked. Manual entry automatically updates the POS and BRG/DIS fields. RAD
and DIS values may be entered individually or simultaneously; a '/' symbol preceding a value in the scratchpad
indicates only the DIS value must be updated. The minimum/maximum values for the radial are 0/360 degrees
and 0/999 NM for the distance.
REF WPT POS [5L]: Reference position with dashes as default value. It corresponds to the position of the
reference waypoint identifier or a manually entered value. Upon entry of a value, the REF ID field will be set to
dash symbols and the POS and BRG/DIS fields will be automatically updated.
(SAVE?): Displayed between the CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts upon modification of a user waypoint.
(DELETE?): Displayed between the CANCEL/CONFIRM prompts upon deletion of a user waypoint.
CANCEL [6L]: Cancels the definition, modifications, or deletion of a user waypoint. All the fields return to their
default value (when cancelling the creation of a user waypoint), or to their original value (when cancelling a user
waypoint modification).
NOTE: If one user waypoint has been created, some new changes are made and cancelled, all the latest
changes are lost.

TRUE/MAG WIND and GS [4L]: Displays current wind direction and speed and ground speed. Wind direction is
crew selectable to magnetic or true North reference when the A/C is outside the polar region (latitude between
N73 and S60). TRUE/MAG toggling is disabled and TRUE is displayed in the title line when the A/C is in the
polar region.
Destination Airport TEMP [5L]: Enables entry of surface air temperature reported for the destination airport.
When the entered temperature differs from the ISA temperature, entry is used to provide temperature correction
of MDA-DA, approach and approach transition waypoint altitudes, vertical deviation and target vertical speed.
Corrected altitudes and vertical deviation are displayed in reverse video white. Valid airport temperature range is
-55°C to +55 °C.
QNH [6L]: When no baro-corrected altitude from an Air Data Computer is available to the FMS, and pressure or
INS altitude is valid, then this field displays the altimeter setting (QNH) entry.
When the QNH value is derived from an FMS synchro input, the QNH value is displayed in normal fonts within a
range of 27.00 to 32.35 inches of mercury (inHg). No manual entry of QNH is allowable. Pressing LSK 6L
toggles the displayed QNH unit system between inches of mercury and millibars (mb).
When a synchro input of QNH is not available to the FMS, this field allows manual entry of the altimeter setting.
The allowable entry format can be either in inches of mercury within a range of 27.00 to 32.00, or in millibars
within a range of 915 to 1083. The QNH unit system is automatically detected from the entered value. The
decimal point entry is not required. The entered QNH value is displayed in large fonts. Pressing LSK 6L with the
scratchpad empty toggles the displayed QNH unit system between inches of mercury and millibars. The
altimeter setting entries (including unit system toggling) are copied between VNAV and PROGRESS pages, and
cross-talked between FMS. Upon leaving the terminal area, an altimeter setting entered from the CMA-9000
Display Panel is cancelled and the field displays boxes (" ").
ERASE [6L]: Prompt appears while flight plan is in MOD status, caused by lateral or vertical modifications.
EXEC key required to activate any change.
MDA-DA [1R]: Enables manual entry of minimum descent altitude/decision altitude in feet. Temperature
compensated if a temperature is entered at LSK [5L]. Valid MDA-DA range is between the MAP altitude and the
FAF altitude. Temperature compensated MDA is displayed in reverse video white. Field is always displayed in
LARGE font.
VPA | ALTITUDE [2R]: Displays (VPA) and altitude restriction for ACTIVE waypoint. VPA field is blank if the
waypoint is not the FAF or MAP or step-down fix. Temperature-compensated altitude constraints are displayed
in reverse video white. The altitude is displayed in NORMAL font if the altitude is coming from the navigation
database. The altitude is displayed in LARGE font if it is a manually entered altitude.
VPA | ALTITUDE [3R]: Displays vertical path angle and altitude restriction for "NEXT" waypoint. VPA field is
blank if the waypoint is not FAF or MAP. Temperature-compensated altitude constraints are displayed in reverse
video white. The altitude is displayed in NORMAL font if the altitude is coming from the navigation database.
The altitude is displayed in LARGE font if it is a manually entered altitude.
VDEV [4R]: Displays the vertical deviation in feet with respect to the computed approach vertical profile
(negative value indicates aircraft below vertical path). Maximum displayed value is 9999 feet. The vertical
deviation is displayed in reverse video white.
TGT VS [5R]: Displays target vertical speed (feet/min) based on current ground speed and the approach
vertical path angle (VPA). This value is temperature compensated if a temperature is entered at LSK 5L. The
field is blank when the vertical deviation is invalid. The target vertical speed is displayed in reverse video white.
VPA (6R): Displays glide-path descent angle in degrees when approach selected and missed approach prompt
is not displayed.
ARR [6R]: Prompt appears when no approach selected and [VNAV] key is pressed. Provides access to the
ARRIVALS page.
MISSED APPR [6R]: If configured for display by the selected configuration, this prompt enables transition within
the FMS to the missed approach phase of flight, allowing sequencing of MAP waypoint. If the display of this
prompt is configured, the prompt is displayed after transition to GPS approach mode (normally occurs at 2 nm
inbound to the FAF if all GPS approach conditions are met). The function of this key is limited to the FMS, and
has no impact on any missed approach or take-off/go-around mode of the flight guidance system.
NEXT WPT [6R]: Prompt is displayed when automatic waypoint sequencing is not possible. Examples include
when the active leg is vector, or an altitude-terminated leg without a baro-corrected altitude input. Pressing
NEXT WPT results in an immediate transition of navigation and guidance to the next waypoint in.
VOR/DME/TCN STATUS 1/1 Page (if VOR, DME or TACAN interfaces are configured)
The VOR/DME/TCN page displays the VOR, DME, and TACAN sensor inputs used in CMA-9000 FMS
radial/distance radio navigator and the resulting position fix.

INTRODUCTION
For lateral guidance, the desired lateral route is entered into the CMA-9000 FMS through keyboard entries such
as custom route, origin, destination, SID, waypoints, STAR and/or approach. Entries and selections of
published procedures are translated using 20 different types of navigation legs to define the lateral path. Each
of these types of legs is graphically illustrated with accompanying display in the following paragraphs.
This navigation leg is a great circle path from a starting to an ending waypoint.

APPENDIX C-2
INTRODUCTION
NOTE: The information presented in this section may not apply to all GAMA type EFIS systems as some systems
have fewer capabilities than others. For example, the Rockwell Collins EFIS-84 does not support
displaying of background data.
The information displayed by the CMA-9000 FMS on the EFIS Navigation Display can be viewed in one of the
following three modes: MAP, ARC, or ROSE, selectable via the EFIS Mode Select Panel.
In MAP mode, the CMA-9000 FMS is the primary source of data for the EFIS display. In this mode, the EFIS
display shows the aircraft position relative to the route and other earth-referenced data, including VHF navaids,
NDBs and airports. For EFIS’s that support displaying background data, these different categories of data may
be selectively removed via the EFIS 1/1 page* of the FMS to de-clutter the map display. A summary of MAP
mode symbology is presented below:
* EFISs which do not support background data do not have this page available for display on the FMS.
1. Active Route - these symbols represent waypoints on the active route within current EFIS map range. The
active waypoint identifier is displayed in magenta.
2. Airport - airports within current EFIS map range are displayed when the AIRPORT option is selected on the
EFIS 1/1 page of the FMS.
3. VHF navaid - this symbol represents any of the following types of navaids: DME, TACAN, VOR, VOR/DME,
VORTAC. Navaids within current EFIS map range are displayed when the NAVAID option is selected on
the EFIS 1/1 page of the FMS.
4. Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) - NDBs within current EFIS map range are displayed when the NDB option is
selected on the EFIS 1/1 page of the FMS.
In Rose mode or Arc mode, the information is displayed on the EFIS in a format similar to a conventional HSI,
with the difference being that in Arc mode, the display is restricted to a 90Ε arc facing the aircraft. Information
displayed in these modes may come from different sources such as ILS, VOR, or NAV. A NAV indication
identifies the CMA-9000 FMS as the source.
NOTE: For the IFDS type EFIS the distance indicated may be erroneous if the the actual DTW is greater than
655.35 nm.
2. Desired Course - the CMA-9000 FMS desired course when the source of course/track data is NAV.
3. Drift Angle - the drift angle is the difference between the computed track angle and the actual aircraft
heading.
4. Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) - the estimated time of arrival at the active waypoint. The Z indicates Zulu
(the phonetic call for GMT).
5. Source of Course/Track Data - the source of course/track and deviation data: ILS, VOR, or NAV. NAV
indicates CMA-9000 FMS as the source.
6. Course Deviation - the CMA-9000 FMS lateral deviation when the source of course/track data is NAV.
7. Waypoint Alert - announces an upcoming flight leg change by the CMA-9000 FMS. The annunciation
appears 60 seconds (ground speed of 250 knots or greater) or 10 seconds (ground speed less than 250
knots) prior to the leg change and extinguishes at the moment of the leg change, at the bisector line or at
the start of turn if a ROCKWELL3 EFIS is configured.
EFIS DISPLAYS
Examples of MAP mode displays for different types of routes are illustrated in the following paragraphs. In all of
these examples, it is assumed that the NAVAID, NDB and AIRPORT options have been deselected via the EFIS
1/1 page of the FMS.
TYPICAL ROUTE
This display represents an active route in which only two waypoints are within the EFIS map range of 160 nm,
YZP01 being the active waypoint.
DIRECT-TO/INTERCEPT NAVIGATION
This example illustrates what would appear on the EFIS display after a Direct-To waypoint has been manually
entered and executed via the FMS. A Direct-To waypoint with an Intercept is displayed in a similar manner. For
more information on Direct-To/Intercept navigation, refer to Section 9.
NOTE: The Rockwell Collins 3 EFIS has the capability to display Direct-To intercepts using arcs.
Holding pattern waypoints are identified by a /H is appended at the end of the holding fix identifier (refer to Note
1). Examples of EFIS displays for the standard holding pattern and for the different types of entry procedures
are provided in the following paragraphs. For more information on Holding Pattern navigation, refer to Section
10.
NOTE 1: On the Rockwell Collins EFIS-84 a /HL (for left-hand turn direction) or /HR (right-hand turn direction) is
appended instead since the holding pattern itself is not seen on the display. The purpose of this is to
continuously provide the flight crew with an indication of the turn direction from the holding fix since no
other visual cues are available on the display.
NOTE 2: The Rockwell Collins 3 EFIS has the capability to display holding patterns using arcs.
Standard holding patterns and direct hold entries are both displayed in an identical manner on the EFIS. The
display consists of four waypoints positioned in a rectangular pattern. The holding fix is labelled with the
waypoint identifier, while the remaining waypoints are numbered from 01 to 03, in an order indicative of the
holding pattern orientation and turn direction. This example represents a direct entry into a right-turn hold with
an inbound course of 173°, as it would appear after completion of the outbound turn.
PARALLEL ENTRY
A parallel entry is represented as a single line extending from the holding fix to the end of the outbound leg,
labelled 02. The aircraft initially flies on a course parallel to this line and starts turning inbound upon reaching
waypoint 02. This example represents a parallel entry into a left-turn hold with an inbound course of 056°, as it
would appear after the initial crossing of the fix.
OFFSET ENTRY
An offset entry is displayed as a triangular pattern in which the holding fix is labelled with the waypoint identifier.
The remaining waypoints are numbered 01 and 02, in an order indicative of the holding pattern orientation and
turn direction. The aircraft initially flies on a course parallel to the outbound leg and starts turning inbound on
reaching waypoint 01. This example represents an offset entry into a left-turn hold with an inbound course of
234°, as it would appear on the initial crossing of the fix.
DME ARC
DME arcs are represented by a series of straight line segments designed to approximate the circular path of the
arc (refer to Note 1). The waypoints located between the arc’s initial fix and final fix have no identifier. They are
positioned at 20-degree intervals along the arc. The DME arc in this example is represented by five segments
located between the arc’s initial fix D350J and final fix D233J. For more information on DME arc navigation,
refer to Section 7.
NOTE 1 :On the Rockwell Collins EFIS-84 either a /ARCL (indicating a left-hand arc turn direction is required at
the arc’s initial fix) or /ARCR (indicating a right-hand arc turn direction is required at arc’s initial fix) is
appended to the arc’s initial and final fixes. The reason for this is to continuously provide better
situational awareness by proving an indication of the turn direction from the arc’s initial fix since the arc
itself is not visible on the display system.
NOTE 2: The Primus Epic EFIS and the Rockwell Collins 3 EFIS have the capability to display DME arcs using
arcs. Furthermore, for the Rockwell Collins 3 EFIS, the cross-track error computed by the FMS is
relative to the arc.

PROCEDURE TURN
Procedure turns are typically represented by three waypoints arranged in a V-shaped pattern. The naming
convention for these waypoints indicates the turn direction at the end of each leg. Thus, in this example, a left
turn is performed at ANCPTL and a right turn at ANCPTR.
NOTE: The Rockwell Collins 3 EFIS has the capability to display procedure turns using arcs.
OFFSET NAVIGATION
This example shows a typical EFIS display for an aircraft flying a route with a right offset of 20 nm relative to the
original flight plan. Although the offset route itself is not displayed, lateral guidance relative to the offset route is
provided when Rose mode or Arc mode is selected via the EFIS Mode Select Panel. For more information on
offset route navigation, refer to Section 5.
ROUTE DISCONTINUITY
When the active route contains a discontinuity, all route waypoints within the current EFIS map scale are shown
on the EFIS display. Waypoints following the discontinuity are left unconnected*. This example represents an
active route with a discontinuity between waypoints YZT and PRYCE. For more information on route
discontinuities, refer to Section 5.
* For the Rockwell Collins EFIS-84, the entire flight plan disappears from the Navigation Display once the last
waypoint before a discontinuity is sequenced. For such as case, ideally, the crew should have taken action in their
flight plan to ensure that discontinuities are removed prior to sequencing the last waypoint before the discontinuity.
This would ensure continuous availability of flight data throughout the route.
If the FMS does sequence the last waypoint prior to a discontinuity and the flight plan disappears from the display
system, the operator can, amongst other things, perform a DIRECT-TO in order to restore the flight plan.
The reference position of the EFIS map display is normally the aircraft position, represented by a triangular
symbol at the bottom of the display. With the Map Center Step feature, this reference position can be changed
to the position of any route waypoint, making it possible to preview the entire route on the EFIS without
changing aircraft position. This example shows the resulting EFIS display after waypoint YZT in the previous
example has been moved to the bottom of the display using the Map Center Step feature.
To change the reference position to the position of any route waypoint, proceed as follows:
1. Go to the INIT/REF INDEX 1/2 page and press the <CTR LEGS> prompt (LSK 6L).
The CTR RTE x LEGS 1/X page is displayed with the MAP CTR STEP prompt at LSK 6R, along with a
<CTR> cursor next to the active waypoint.
2. Press the MAP CTR STEP prompt repeatedly until the <CTR> cursor appears beside the desired waypoint.
The waypoint with the <CTR> cursor now appears at the bottom of the EFIS map display.
3. To return to an aircraft-centered display, go to any CMA-9000 FMS page other than the RTE x LEGS 1/X
page, or press [LEGS].
On the RTE x LEGS 1/X page, the MAP CTR STEP prompt has disappeared, along with the <CTR> cursor.

APPENDIX E
System Alert Messages are messages that require immediate pilot action. Alert Messages are the highest
priority scratchpad messages (cannot be typed over or overwritten by any other message type).
Alert messages are displayed in amber color in the scratchpad and on the MESSAGE RECALL page. These
messages disappear automatically when the condition that caused them no longer exists.
Alert messages cause both the CMA-9000 FMS front panel MSG annunciator and the remote MSG annunciator
to illuminate until all messages are cleared/acknowledged by the pilot. Alert messages are cleared (thus
acknowledged) from the scratchpad by pressing the CLR key.
New messages that have not yet been acknowledged are displayed with an asterisk (*) prefix on the MESSAGE
RECALL page. Bringing in view the MESSAGE RECALL page(s) acknowledges all messages at once.
Alert messages have the highest priority and supersede any advisory message or typed-in data displayed in the
scratchpad.
Alert messages that are related to navigation sensor performance are displayed only if the sensor is interfaced
with the CMA-9000 FMS and configured through the CMA-9000 FMS maintenance pages (see Installation
Manual).
Alert messages are prioritized internally by the CMA-9000 FMS, with the highest displayed at the top and the
lowest at the bottom of the MESSAGE RECALL page.
Unless otherwise noted, the CMA-9000 Master Caution is inactive (e.g. FMS is still functional) for all the System
Alert messages.
Collector Alert messages are messages that combine several fault conditions into a single alert message (e.g.
AIR DATA LOST combines ADC1 FAILED and ADC2 FAILED Maintenance Advisory messages).

REMOTE ANNUNCIATORS
A. ANNUNCIATORS
Outputs are provided to drive external annunciators to alert the pilot of system status or flight plan sequencing.
NOTE: The actual legends and colors of the remote annunciators may vary depending on the installation.
Refer to the AFMS/RFMS for details.
B. NAVIGATION FLAG
The EFIS annunciator, will be displayed under the operational or system hardware conditions listed below. At
the same time, the validity of the CMA-9000 roll steering output signal will be set to INVALID, resulting in the
disengagement of the autopilot/flight director LNAV mode.
1. OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS
a. The aircraft is airborne and the speed is below the minimum take-off speed. ACTION: None. If the
NAV flag has appeared during the take-off roll, it will disappear shortly after.
b. The active waypoint is undefined (e.g. at a route discontinuity, at the end of the route, or if no route is
loaded). The NAV flag will be accompanied by a !SELECT ACT WPT/LEG advisory message.
ACTION: Select the active waypoint.
c. During direct-to intercept navigation when engaging the LNAV autopilot mode before being on an
appropriate intercept heading. The NAV flag will be accompanied by a NOT ON INTERCEPT CRS
advisory message. ACTION: Fly to an intercept heading before re-engaging the LNAV mode.
d. At 2 nm inbound to the FAF for a GPS approach when all conditions necessary for the approach have
not been met (e.g. no GPS integrity, loss of GPS navigation, a route discontinuity exists before the FAF,
or the aircraft is not in the approach zone). The NAV flag will be accompanied by a number of possible
alert or advisory messages, depending on the cause. ACTION: Depending on the cause, eliminate or
change the operational condition, or, if related to the GPS function, initiate a missed approach.
e. When the active route leg loaded from the navigation database is a heading or course to intercept the
next leg and the aircraft is not on the correct course or heading. The NAV flag will be accompanied by
a NOT ON INTERCEPT HDG or NOT ON INTERCEPT CRS advisory message. ACTION: Fly to the
correct intercept heading or course before re-engaging the AP/FD LNAV mode.
2. HARDWARE CONDITIONS
a. A CMA-9000 hardware failure condition (including loss of communication with the CMA-9000 FMS) is
detected by the built-in test function. ACTION: Revert to an alternate means of navigation.
b. Loss of power input to the CMA-9000. ACTION: Check circuit breakers. Restore power input only if no
evidence of a hardware failure exists.
c. The CMA-9000 FMS has been turned off. ACTION: Turn on the CMA-9000 FMS.
d. A heading input failure occurs when navigating in dead reckoning modes, or when flying any heading
leg. ACTION: Switch to an alternate heading source, or revert to another navigation mode or to an
alternate means of navigation.
e. A True Airspeed input failure occurs when navigating in dead reckoning. ACTION: Revert to an
alternate means of navigation.
