Introduction
The latest TSO certified GNS-XLS software upgrades for P-RNAV compliance, FAA AC 90-100A compliance and a 20MB memory upgrade to the new worldwide navigation database continue to be available at 2007 prices. This upgrade is designed to extend the life of the GNS-XLS to meet new operational standards in Europe and the United States. The features of the upgrade are:
• Precision Area Navigation (P-RNAV) compliance to allow certification under the Eurocontrol’s Technical Guidance Leaflet (TGL) -10.
o Includes full ARINC leg procedures for all phases of flight – no more discontinuity between which part the FMS handles and which it does not.
o Selected cross track for mulitple waypoints vs. single active waypoint
• Advisory Circular 90-100 compliance to meet the new FAA AC concerning terminal navigation (RNAV) procedures.
o Similar to above additions
• 20 MB memory expansion to allow for worldwide navigation database installation
o Includes additional approaches that were screened from previous databases due to memory limitation – teardrop procedures, all ILS, LOC, etc., puts them on the MFD o Adds automation to the missed approach procedure which was previously flown
manually
o Web-based downloads of navigation database with user name / password

Program Description
2.1 Software Upgrade Features
2.1.1 Precision Area Navigation
Precision Area Navigation (P-RNAV) is a continuance of Required Navigation Performance (RNP) evolution in Europe from Basic Area Navigation (B-RNAV) or RNP 5 to RNP 1. P-RNAV is achieved via a software change enabling compliance with TGL-10 with addition of ARINC-424 procedural leg types and compliance with DO-200A navigation database procedures. This is a software-only upgrade and will be one part of a single software upgrade package and part number change combining the above three features. While not a full mandate, PRNAV is quickly becoming a requirement in Europe as access to airspace for non-compliant aircraft becomes more restrictive. Advantages are quickly realized by no-hold times, more efficient routing allowing for quicker en route

times. It is not clear if P-RNAV will become a full mandate in Europe but with the continuing addition of terminal airspace requiring P-RNAV compliance, the addition to the GNS-XLS is a key new feature. 2.1.2 Advisory Circular 90-100A
Compliance to Advisory Circular 90-100A is also achieved with this update. AC 90-100A is an FAA document titled “US Terminal and En Route Area Navigation (RNAV) Operations”. Aircraft
compliance to AC 90-100A enables acceptance of the new RNP SID / STAR procedures. As more of these types of terminal procedures are developed and deployed, this feature, like P-RNAV, becomes invaluable to the operator flying in tightly controlled airspace.
2.1.3 20 Megabyte Memory Expansion
The new 20 MB memory upgrade to the GNS-XLS is also part of this upgrade package. The new software enables access of a new 20 MB PCMCIA memory card containing the 28-day Worldwide Navigational Database (NDB). This database supersedes the multiple regional databases currently used by the GNS-XLS and will allow the operator to load one database regardless of where the aircraft travels in the world.
2.2 Software Upgrade Kit Number
The software kit numbers for this upgrade are as follows:
Description Dash Number Change Kit Part Number
GNS-XLS Enhanced -0203 to -0204 050-17960-0035 GNS-XLS -0102 to -0103 050-17960-0036 GNS-XL -0101 to -0102 050-18355-0000
Table 1
2.3 GNS-X and CDU-XLS Upgrade Path
The Honeywell GNS-X and CDU-XLS have been evaluated as candidates for the PRNAV software upgrade and it has been determined that due to memory limitations, they cannot accept the new software load at this time. If desired, operators of X and CDU-XLS can upgrade to a new GNS-XLS or GNS-GNS-XLS Enhanced with the new software included with the purchase at no additional
charge. Also, any operator that purchased a new GNS-XLS or GNS-XLS Enhanced in 2006 or 2007 is entitled to a no-charge software upgrade kit (either 050-17960-0035 or 050-17960-0036). To claim the upgrade, they will need to provide the GNS-XLS purchase order number when ordering the kit.
2.4 Loading of the Software Upgrade
Loading of the new GNS-XLS software will be accomplished via installation of a PCMCIA card to transfer the new software version and can be done on-aircraft. The part number (dash number) of the GNS-XLS will change due to a new TSO certification and the part number plate on the unit must be modified. Honeywell will supply the PCMCIA card and plate to the dealer / installer as part of the upgrade kit. This Honeywell-supplied kit will be the only method in which to upgrade the GNS-XLS.

The new Worldwide Navigation Database for GNS-XLS will be available from Honeywell upon certification of the GNS-XLS software upgrade kit. This new global database will be certified to the latest DO-200A standards and will contain all the customary data from Jeppson with airports and runways to 1,000 feet or greater along with the new leg types and procedures associated with AC 90-100A and PRNAV. Annual subscription prices from Honeywell will be:
New GNS-XLS(E), XLS and XL Worldwide Navigation Database $3,200 per year

Ordering Information
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once the software for this upgrade is loaded into the GNS-XLS, a new worldwide navigation database is required to re-enable the unit. The old regional navigation
database will not work. It is important that the dealer / installer not load the new GNS-XLS software upgrade until a new worldwide navigation database PCMCIA card has been received from Honeywell Navigation Database Services. Once the software for the upgrade has been loaded, the installer will remove that PCMCIA card and insert the worldwide navigation database PCMCIA card. The
worldwide navigation database card must remain in the GNS-XLS during the 28-day cycle until the next card is received from Honeywell per the operator’s NDB subscription account.
