Hi Ed I have my gps loaded in a Baron 58 it is the closest to the Baron duchess that i fly for real. As for the charts i don't know where i would find that info other that what i linked. Guess ill have to do with out it the gps has pretty much everything else. Also for the MABDA way point when i try and load it in the gps it has the cords that i listed before. I took a screen shot to show what the GPS lists. http://imgur.com/Kk6g2Dn Thanks Adam

I have done the RNAV approaches at NZNE in 2 different aircrafts using the g430 and the g650 over the last few weeks and i am unsure as well as how they are getting in the software. This may be helpful This is the online verison of all of NZ charts http://www.aip.net.nz/Home.aspx I have asked around and spoken to a few different instructors/people and they suggested that the ones we use are the ones published by AIP/Jeppesen and the ones that Lufthansa use are done by a different entity who they are no one was sure. I have also come around something weird when using the GPS to fly a DME arc in gps mode. I tired flying the NZWP(Whenuapai) VOR/DME 21 approach using the R280-R040 DME arc and everything loads in the gps correctly as way points but i cant get it to activate and fly the DME arc in fully gps mode when i activate the approach all it does it fly to the point of R280 then a straight line back to R040 it does follow the DME arc. I have tired doing the same in FSX and with the reality-xp g430 and it works. I can upload a video if you would like me to to show you. Here is the chart to show what i am doing. http://www.aip.net.nz/pdf/NZWP_43.2_43.3.pdf Once again Thanks for all your help Ed. Thanks Adam

Thanks for letting me know Ed i assumed the real nav data would be the same thats in the real g430's that i use and they have the RNAV proc's listed in there. I guess its back to FSX and the reality-xp verison to practice my RNAV stuff at NZNE Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Ed looking into it Mabda is a GPS waypoint that handles the RNAV approach at NZNE and you can load it in the flight plan like any other waypoint or airport. It exists in the realnav data but its waypoint is miles away. I have checked the GPS cords listed in the GPS and they are way off compared to the real cords, i wouldn't expect it to get the exact down to seconds but the minutes are way off. GPS lists S36*59*08 E174*53*06 Real cords S36*41*37 E174*29*58 Also another question when i am on the second nav page and i try and toggle the data fields on/off the map nothing happens? Is this enabled on the g430? Thanks Adam

I have installed the real nav data and now it doesn't list any RNAV approaches for NZNE. I have check a few other airports and they have listed the RNAV stuff just nothing at NZNE. The MABDA way point track is still incorrect it is listed. The map icon for MABDA is in the correct spot but the track takes it somewhere else as you can see by the line. http://i.imgur.com/yUOvZH7.jpg

Hi I have been trying to practice some RNAV (GNSS) approaches at North Shore Airfield New Zealand and i have come across something weird. When i load in the GPS approach for runway 03 i don't get an option to use MABDA, i only get VECTORS, SF and AGRAX. If i load the MABDA waypoint in directly it gives me a weird DTK which takes me south of the airfield miles away from where it is. Now if i load the GPS approach for runway 21 it gives me the correct track to MABDA for the missed approach and if i load in the GPS approach for runway 03 and use the AGRAX Trans it gives me the correct location of where the MABDA waypoint should be. I have uploaded some screens to show what i mean. http://imgur.com/cIowx0u http://imgur.com/z6DEdDM http://imgur.com/mmQtXc1 Now here are my questions 1. Is this a problem because the Nav database is out of date? 2. Is this a problem with the GPS unit itsself? 3. Will getting the real nav data fix this issue? 4. And if i getting the real nav data will fix this issue. How do i find the database key that they ask for when purchasing it? Thanks in Advance Adam I have found what i need to install Real Nav data. I will see if this fixes my issue and report back. Thanks Adam
