IFD500 Series Pilot Guide
7-20 General
Position updated using dead reckoning
The system will use the last known position and
groundspeed (and heading if available) to estimate the
aircraft position following loss of GPS for up to 5 minutes.
Since Dead Reckoning assumes no directional or
groundspeed change, it will not be reliable even during
those first 5 minutes if either or both of these factors have
changed.
Use bottom LSK on FPL tab before A/P
