The Rockwell Collins publications that follow are available for major subsystems on the Challenger 604 aircraft.
The Rockwell Collins Part Number (CPN) is shown for each publication.
• CMU-1000 (UL-801) Communication Management Unit (FANS) Operator’s Guide (CPN 523-0823426)
• Corporate Datalink System CMU-4000/RIU-40X0 Operator’s Guide (CPN 523-0790499)
• ATN and FANS Harmonized CPDLC Application Operator’s Guide (CPN 523-0822822)
• Mobile Enablement Quick Reference Guide (CPN 523–0821663)
The Pro Line Fusion® avionics system for Challenger 604 includes Mobile Enablement functionality, which links an
application on a Personal Electronic Device (PED) to the avionics system. Mobile Enablement allows for preflight
planning to be performed on the PED, and then the flight plan can be sent directly to the Pro Line Fusion® avionics
system.

Comments
To submit comments regarding this manual, please contact:
The Pro Line Fusion® avionics system for Challenger 604 and related components exhibit a very high de-
gree of functional integrity. However, users must recognize that it is not practical to provide monitoring for all
conceivable system failures and that erroneous operation could occur without a fault indication. The operator
has the responsibility to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checks with redundant or correlated in-
formation available in the cockpit.
WARNING
Individual operators may set specific operating procedures that may not be the same as those described in
this guide. Refer to the appropriate airplane flight manuals for information specific to your airplane.
WARNING
Sunglasses with polarized lenses or lenses that are designed to filter specific colors/frequencies of light
may adversely affect a pilot’s ability to see some colors shown on EFIS displays. Some elements on the display
can be completely invisible while wearing these types of sunglasses. Also, the color of some elements may be
changed. For example, some blue light filtering lenses can change magenta to red.

5.21 SVS overlay Acronyms/Terms
The Synthetic Vision System (SVS) uses terrain and obstacle data to create a synthetic image of the outside
world to aid in situational awareness.
The SVS uses a terrain database and current position information to generate a virtual landscape for display on
the Attitude Director Indicator (ADI). The SVS can replace the normal sky/ground depiction that makes up the
background of the ADI.
The SVS database has limitations in some regions. The SVS image will be degraded when flying in areas indi-
cated on the following map:
®
5 Initial climb > SVS overlay 5-37 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
SVS degraded regions
The SVS image is shown on the ADI by selecting SVS in the ADI Config dialog box.
The ground shows in a manner that corresponds in its color to the absolute terrain elevation. Water features are
shown to aid in situational awareness.
Obstacles are depicted on the SVS display in two styles, a “building” representation and a “tower” representation.
These representations are shown for all obstacles contained in the obstacle database that are in excess of 200
feet above ground level. The height of the obstacle depiction is proportionate to the obstacle height.

on the map display with two viewing angles superimposed on the map.
The origin, destination, and alternate airports are all communicated from the FMS flight plan to the SVS system.
This allows the SVS system to show these airports for situational awareness of the crew. For approach refer-
ence purposes, the selected runways (cyan outline for the departure runway, magenta outline for the destination
runway) are drawn by the SVS system along with an extended approach center-line with range markers. The
extended center-line will be visible at ranges less than 15NM from the destination airport.
At ranges beyond 5NM the SVS system will draw an opaque, hemispheric dome about the origin (cyan out-
line), destination (magenta outline), and alternate (white outline) airport locations. This hemisphere will gradually
change from opaque to transparent starting at opaque beyond 15NM to transparent at 5NM away from the air-
ports in question.

GA - Go-Around
Missed approach description
Table of Contents
Missed approach
As the Final Approach fix is passed the FMS waypoint sequencing changes from Auto to Inhibit. This allows for
completion of the approach without the FMS sequencing to the waypoints in the missed approach procedure until
the missed approach is commenced.
Upon commencing a missed approach the pilot must ensure that the FMS has returned to Automatic waypoint
sequencing. Deselecting Inhibit waypoint sequencing is accomplished using any of the following methods.
• Select Go-Around (GA) mode by using the GA button on the power levers
• Direct-To another waypoint
• By de-selecting Seq Inhibit on the FMS Fly tile Route page, or on the FMS text window on the Map.
The pilot should ensure that once the missed approach is initiated that the waypoint sequencing is again in Auto
mode in order to receive course guidance along the missed approach procedure for the approach that is entered
in the FMS.

GS Caution ►Monitor pilot and copilot glideslope deviation information.
The GS comparator flag is a caution to the flight crew that the glideslope deviation
information being shown on the ADI may be in error on one side or the other.
During a monitored approach, each ADI compares the glideslope deviation from the
on-side NAV receiver to the glideslope deviation from the cross-side NAV receiver.
When the glideslope compare function is active and the difference between the
two glideslope deviations is not within the predefined limit, a boxed yellow GS
glideslope miscompare flag is shown below the vertical deviation scale.
The glideslope deviation comparator is disabled:
• during unmonitored approaches, or
• when radio altitude is less than either the RA MIN setpoint or 100 feet,
whichever is greater.
HDG Caution The HDG comparator flag is a caution to the flight crew that the heading data being
shown may be in error on one side or the other.
IRS1 Caution The IRS common source annunciation is a caution to the flight crew that both
IRS2 sides of the flight deck are using a common attitude heading source. The Inertial
Reference System (IRS) common source annunciation is shown in the FMA field of

RA1 Caution The RA common source annunciation is a caution to the flight crew that both sides RA - Radio Altitude
RA2 of the flight deck are using a common radio altitude source. The Radio Altitude
(RA) common source annunciation is shown in the FMA field of the ADI followed by
a 1 or 2 to indicate the common source.
RAD Caution The RAD comparator flag is a caution to the flight crew that the radio altitude data
being shown on the ADI may be in error on one side or the other.
Each ADI compares the on-side radio altitude to the cross-side radio altitude
whenever the radio altitude is less than 2450 feet AGL. When the radio altitude
compare function is active and the difference between the radio altitude supplied
to the on-side and cross-side ADI is not within the pre-defined limit, a boxed
yellow RAD radio altitude miscompare flag is shown at the bottom of the attitude
indicator display.
The RAD comparator limit is variable and is a function of altitude.
TCAS FAIL Caution A yellow TCAS FAIL annunciation message is shown in the TCAS data block on
the right side of the map and HSI if the TCAS system has failed. A TCAS that is
turned off is considered failed. Failures related exclusively to the traffic display
cause this message to be shown when the TCAS overlay is selected.
VNAV Caution The VNAV comparator flag is a caution to the flight crew that the VNAV reference
values being shown on the ADI may be in error on one side or the other.
The VNAV comparator is disabled if FMS generated VNAV references are not
being posted to the ADI.
VSPD Caution The VSPD comparator flag is a caution to the flight crew that the Vspeed sent by
the two FMS differed by an amount large enough to trigger the comparator, or the
display received Vspeed data from only one FMS.

Flight guidance aural warning description
Flight guidance aural warnings
The Flight Guidance System provides aural warning. This warning is triggered by the deactivation of the autopilot
system regardless of if the autopilot is automatically or manually deactivated. When manual deactivation occurs
an approximate 1.5 second warning tone (calvary charge) will sound. When automatic deactivation occurs, the
aural warning continues until the crew acknowledges the disconnect or the AP is re-engaged. The deactivation
will also be evidenced by the red AP flight mode annunciator located at the top of the PFD display.

Runway Updates
If the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sensor is unavailable for FMS position initialization then a
runway threshold update, just before takeoff, is an accurate way of updating the FMS. The FMS update is ac-
complished on the FMS Status page. As the aircraft moves into position on the runway, the FMS is updated to
that position. It is important that the aircraft be at the threshold before this update is completed. In aircraft with
an operating GNSS sensor available for use by the FMS it is not necessary to do position updates at the runway
threshold.
Position Updates
FMS position updates are completed in-flight using position data from a GNSS sensor, a NAVAID, Inertial Ref-
erence System (IRS), or the FMS itself (depending on the equipment installed in the aircraft). GNSS sensors
cannot be position updated from the FMS while the aircraft is airborne.
Flight Plan
Each FMS can hold multiple flight plans. One flight plan is called the Active (ACT) Flight Plan (FPLN) and the
other is called the Secondary (SEC) FPLN. Active flight plan data shows on the Flight Plan, Route, and Map
formats. Active flight plans that are being edited are called a Modified (MOD) FPLN. A MOD FPLN must be
executed to become the ACT FPLN. SEC FPLN data also can be selected to show on the Flight Plan, Route,
and Map formats. Only the active flight plan is used for navigation (coupled to the autopilot), and it is used only
when FMS is selected as the navigation source.

13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-2 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
A flight plan is made up of waypoints created from a combination of elements that include some or all of the items Acronyms/Terms
that follow:
SID - Standard Instrument De-
• Airports (origin, destination, and alternate) parture
• Departure runway ADC - Air Data Computer

• Direct-To legs
• Airways
• Pilot-defined waypoints
• Holding patterns
• STAR and transition
• Approach procedure (including missed approach procedure), or arrival runway extension, and arrival runway
• Route to the alternate airport.
A waypoint is any point that is used as a reference for a navigation fix. Waypoints can be either predefined
or pilot-defined. Predefined waypoints are stored in the FMS navigation database with the identifiers that are
shown on aeronautical charts. These waypoints can be airports, NAVAIDs, or other charted navigation fixes
and uncharted fixes used in a SID, STAR, and approaches and are not changeable. Pilot-defined waypoints are
stored within a flight plan and in the pilot-defined waypoint list, but not in the FMS navigation database. Refer to
the FLIGHT PLANS chapter for more information on pilot-defined waypoints.
In Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion FMS installations operating in Synchronized mode, flight plan data is shared
between each system. The FMS is designed to operate in a Synchronized mode at all times.
Navigation Sensors
To navigate, the FMS uses sensor data from GNSS, VOR/DME NAVAIDs, Air Data Computer (ADC), and the
IRS, along with the active flight plan and the navigation database information. The sensor data is used by the
FMS to determine the present position, direction, and speed.
GNSS
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a generic term used to describe satellite based navigation systems
including GPS and Galileo. GNSS is authorized for primary means of navigation provided a qualified sensor is
installed in the aircraft. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion FMS and Rockwell Collins GPS-4000S sensor meet

VOR and DME
1 When GNSS data is not available the FMS reverts to DME/DME for position computations. If two suitable
DME stations are not in range the FMS may use VOR information for position computations, if VOR USAGE
is enabled on the Setup icon, Sensors tab, under the VOR/DME tab.
For VOR and DME navigation, the FMS scans approximately every 3 minutes for the best combination of DME
stations, according to the database and present position. It takes into account the service volume of the NAVAIDs,
the altitude and distance of the aircraft from the NAVAIDs, and the geometric relationship required for accurate
positioning data. To make sure that the DME stations received have valid signals and are the stations it expected

Acronyms/Terms
In installations with three IRS and all three are enabled for navigation on the Sensors format, the position solutions
from the three IRS are blended to reduce the position error drift. The FMS cross compares the three IRS positions. DR - Dead Reckoning
If the position from one IRS deviates substantially from the blended IRS position, the FMS removes data from
that IRS from the position calculations.
In installations with two IRS or only two of three IRS are being used because of a substantial deviation, the FMS
position is based on only one IRS position when the other long range sensors are not available. The FMS selects
the IRS that is to be used based on the priority sequence of: same-side IRS, third IRS, and cross-side IRS. After
a period of time with no other sensor available, the message IRS ONLY shows in white on the HSI annunciator
line, Messages dialog box, and the scratchpad of the MKP. This indicates the FMS is using only IRS data for
determining position and the resultant position error is over the limit.
IRS sensor data is not used for the position solution when the IRS sensor is set to either attitude or alignment
mode. The operator can view the current position difference relative to the current FMS position and the drift rate
for each IRS sensor on the Sensors format under the IRS tab.
Dead Reckoning
4 When no navigation sensor data is available for the FMS to use, it begins navigating in the Dead Reckoning
(DR) mode. In this mode, it estimates the position based only on the last known position, heading, and
airspeed. To identify this mode, the message FMS DR shows on the PFD if the navigation source is FMS.
The same message also shows in the Messages dialog box.

13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-5 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
Sensor Monitoring Acronyms/Terms
The FMS continuously monitors the navigation sensors to make sure that they provide valid position data to the AFCS - Automatic Flight Control
FMS. Chk Pos message shows if position data from a specific sensor varies significantly from the FMS position. System
The Chk Pos message is annunciated on the PFD and the map display. It also shows on the Messages dialog ADI - Attitude Director Indicator
box, where it is followed by a message that identifies the suspect sensor. The monitors for each sensor type have
different thresholds, based on the phase of flight (en route or terminal), for annunciating a sensor disagreement. PFD - Primary Flight Display
The Chk Pos message is suppressed when SBAS position information is used. VNAV - Vertical Navigation
Flight Plan Tracking
The FMS accomplishes flight plan tracking by determining the present position, direction, and speed, and then
computing steering commands for use by the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) to steer the aircraft along
a flight plan route. Flight plan routes are typically made up of great circle legs from waypoint to waypoint.
Lateral deviation sensitivity is shown to the right of the Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) lateral deviation scale on
the Primary Flight Display (PFD). Lateral deviation scale sensitivity (full scale deflection) is 4.0 NM in oceanic and
remote areas, 2.0 NM while en-route, 1.0 NM inside the terminal area, and varies for different approach types.
Vertical deviation scale shows on the PFD when Vertical Navigation (VNAV) is selected for vertical guidance
during climb and descent phase of flight. Vertical deviation scale sensitivity is set at 500 ft (full scale deflection)
in en route and terminal environment and varies for different approach types.
Waypoints
The FMS uses waypoints to define a navigational track. Waypoints can define goegraphically fixed positions,
navigation facilities, intersections, airports. and sometimes non-geographically fixed positions. In addition to
identifying a navigation track, a waypoint can have one or more other unique properties. Some of these properties
include TO waypoints, flyover waypoints, and conditional waypoints.
A TO waypoint is the waypoint which the FMS is currently tracking toward on the active leg of the flight plan. The
PFD, map displays, and any format that shows the flight plan show the TO waypoint information in active waypoint
color. The TO waypoint identifier is annunciated under the NAV source information on the flight displays.
A flyover waypoint is a waypoint that the aircraft must fly over or abeam before the FMS sequences to the next
waypoint of the flight plan. Leg terminating waypoints, for example, a waypoint before a discontinuity, a holding
fix waypoint, some waypoints in a SID and STAR, the missed approach waypoint, and the last waypoint at the
end of a flight plan, are flyover waypoints.
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-6 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
It is possible to transform a non-flyover waypoint into a flyover waypoint, and subsequently remove the flyover Acronyms/Terms
attribute from a user-defined flyover waypoint. Selecting or deselecting the Fly Over box on the waypoint task
menu, allows the user to add, or remove, the flyover attribute. HSI - Horizontal Situation Indica-
tor
Conditional waypoints are waypoints that are part of a departure procedure, STAR, or approach and are not
located at a geographically fixed position. They are shown enclosed in parenthesis. A turn point located at
a specified altitude and the point where a heading leg intersects with a leg defined by a VOR radial are two
examples of conditional waypoints. A conditional waypoint cannot be manually entered into a flight plan. They
are entered as part of a departure procedure, STAR, or an approach.
Leg Sequencing
Flight plan legs are typically defined by the waypoint located at each end of the leg. As the aircraft approaches
the TO waypoint, the FMS gives a waypoint alert by flashing the waypoint identifier and symbol on the flight
display. Approximately 5 seconds after the waypoint alert the FMS sequences to the next leg of the flight plan
and generates steering commands to steer the aircraft toward the new TO waypoint.
When the FMS sequences to a discontinuity in the flight plan, or when the last waypoint in the flight plan is passed,
it begins computing steering commands to fly wings level.
The FMS defaults to the AUTO mode of leg sequencing. The pilot can inhibit this by selecting Sequence Inhibit
(Seq Inhibit) checkbox on the Fly icon, Route tab, or the FMS text window on the map for the ACT FPLN. The
aircraft maintains the track until the Seq Inhibit checkbox is deselected.
Magnetic Variation Effects on Displayed Desired Course
On a Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), the numeric course and the position of the course pointer arrow for
a waypoint or NAVAID facility often differ slightly from the course value shown by the FMS. The difference is
compounded as the distance from that fix increases. The difference exists for the reasons that follow:
1. As the aircraft travels along the flight path, the FMS constantly calculates the current value of the true track,
which reflects the changing direction of the curved geodesic route abeam the present position of the aircraft.
2. The FMS corrects the current true track to a magnetic reference using the calculated value for magnetic
variation at the present position of the aircraft. This value can be somewhat different from the value used to
define an arrival or departure course as described above because of the items that follow:
• The actual magnetic variation varies as the aircraft travels.
• The magnetic model used by the FMS to calculate local variation does not exactly match the declination
or magnetic variation published in the navigation database for NAVAIDs and airports.
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-7 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
Another effect caused by the differences in Magnetic Variation (MAG VAR) as described above appears when Acronyms/Terms
editing a flight plan. The course value shown on the shown FPLN can change when the pilot executes the flight
plan. Before executing a flight plan, the course shown to a waypoint is based on the source magnetic variance. MAG VAR - Magnetic Variation
After executing the flight plan, the course is based on the MAG VAR at the present position of the aircraft. The IAF - Initial Approach Fix
resulting course over the ground is exactly as specified by the pilot using the declination or magnetic variation
contained in the database.
Discontinuities
Discontinuities are inserted automatically during certain edits of a flight plan. Their purpose is to segregate por-
tions of the flight plan that are not naturally connected, for example, an approach procedure not connected by an
Initial Approach Fix (IAF) to the last en route or arrival waypoint.
A waypoint before a discontinuity is treated as a flyover waypoint. As such, the FMS sequences a flight plan to a
discontinuity only as the aircraft passes abeam the waypoint. At that point, the FMS steers the aircraft to a wings
level mode. The aircraft continues to fly wings level until the FMS is deselected as the navigation source or the
discontinuity is removed.
2 minutes before reaching a waypoint that is followed by a discontinuity, the message FPLN Discontinuity shows
on the shown map and on Messages dialog box. The waypoint alert feature flashes the waypoint and the identifier
on the flight displays for 5 seconds. The waypoint alert flashes the waypoint and the identifier again 5 seconds
before sequencing to the discontinuity.
While the FMS is steering to wings-level flight, no data shows on the displays for the items that follow:
• Time-to-go
• Distance-to-go
• Bearing to waypoint
• Course
• Cross track deviation
• Coursearrow
• Course digital readout.
In addition, the AFCS lateral navigation mode annunciation shows in yellow font on the PFD.

13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-8 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
A discontinuity can be deleted from a flight plan at any time by replacing it with the next waypoint in the flight plan.
Note 5: You should not resolve
There are three options to delete a discontinuity:
a discontinuity that occurs when

waypoint that follows the discontinuity. Deleting a discontinuity when it is the active leg (the TO waypoint)
results in a direct course to the next waypoint unless a specific course is entered and activated in the Course MKP - Multifunction Keypad
In (Crs In) entry field in the Direct To dialog box or the Waypoint Task Menu.
Crs In - Course In
Another way to sequence beyond a discontinuity is to select Seq Inhibit on the Fly icon, Route tab, or FMS text TAS - True Airspeed
window on the map. When the FMS sequences to a discontinuity, the sequencing mode automatically changes
to Seq Inhb. Deselect the Seq Inhibit checkbox on the Fly icon, Route tab, or FMS text window on the map and
the FMS sequences to the next waypoint in the flight plan.
Turns
The FMS computes a turn using a constant bank angle. For small turns, the amount of bank angle is small. Larger
turns require a greater bank angle. The FMS also computes when to start a turn based on the type of waypoint,
the number of degrees of turn, the True Airspeed (TAS) of the aircraft, the current heading relative to the new
heading, and the wind conditions. During a turn, the FMS continuously computes the bank angle to compensate
for changes in wind conditions, TAS, and the heading of the aircraft relative to the new course.
Bank Angle and Roll Rate
The bank angle and roll rate during a turn is continuously computed by the FMS with consideration for the bank
angle limits of the AFCS. With the AFCS set to the normal operation mode (no bank limit selected), the bank
angle is limited to approximately 30 degrees. When Half-Bank is selected on the AFCS, the bank angle is limited
to approximately 12.5 degrees (set on the Setup icon, Defaults tab). Roll rate is set at 3 degrees per second
for all turns. Half-Bank can not be selected when FMS is the active lateral mode and the aircraft is below the
Half-Bank transition altitude of 31,600 feet.
Anticipation
As the aircraft approaches a turn at a waypoint, in addition to computing the bank angle for the turn, the FMS
computes the point where the turn is to start. This is called turn anticipation. Its purpose is to prevent the aircraft
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-9 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
from overshooting the new course during the turn. Essentially, the FMS cuts the corner of the turn to make a Acronyms/Terms
smooth transition to the new course.
MFW - Multifunction Window
For flight plan leg turns at true airspeeds of less than 350 knots, the turn initiation point is not further than 7 NM TOD - Top of Descent
from the waypoint. At true airspeeds of 350 knots or greater, the turn initiation limit is no further than 12 NM from
the waypoint. A waypoint alert flashes the active waypoint identifier on the PFD display, and the active waypoint
symbol and identifier on the Multifunction Window (MFW) map appear approximately 5 seconds before the FMS
initiates the turn to the new course. While turn anticipation prevents most overshoots, very large course changes
can still result in some overshoot.
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-10 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
Effects of turn overshoots on VNAV descents
Flyover Waypoints
Waypoints that are designated as flyover waypoints require the aircraft to fly over the waypoint before a turn
is started. Examples of flyover waypoints include leg terminating waypoints, for example, a waypoint before a
discontinuity, holding fix waypoints, and the last waypoint at the end of a flight plan.
It is possible to transform a non-flyover waypoint into a flyover waypoint, and subsequently remove the flyover
attribute from a user-defined flyover waypoint. Selecting Fly Over on a flight plan Waypoint Task menu allows
the user to designate a waypoint as a flyove waypoint. The flight plan Waypoint Task menu shows the attribute
active when a check mark shows in the Fly Over selection box. To disable the attribute the operator needs to
un-check the Flly Over selection.

Typical course change at a flyover waypoint
Intercepting a Track
The FMS can intercept an active course track at any converging angle. Whenever possible, the intercept is such
that the aircraft turns onto the active course without overshoot. If the intercept angle is great and the distance to
the course is short, an overshoot will occur. If the intercept path is such that the intercept will not occur before
the active waypoint, the message Not On Intercept TRK shows on the Messages dialog box.

Holding Patterns
Entry
Just before the aircraft crosses the holding fix, the FMS calculates the size of the holding pattern. The calculation
is based on the wind conditions, the true airspeed of the aircraft or the MAX HOLD speed, whichever is lower,
and either the leg time or the leg distance of the hold. The size of the holding pattern is set (unless edited on the
Hold dialog box) until the fix is passed again. Just before each subsequent pass of the fix, the FMS recalculates
the holding pattern. Thus, each circuit of the holding pattern is the proper size for the existing wind conditions
and true airspeed.
In addition, the FMS determines the best entry method based on the direction of approach to the holding fix, and
the direction and type (standard or nonstandard) of holding pattern. The entry method is selected in accordance
with the rules depicted in the figure Typical holding entry options.
For parallel entries into a hold, the FMS steers the outbound entry leg to an extended, fixed distance. This is
done to make sure that the protected airspace of the holding pattern is not violated when the pattern is flown in
excessive wind conditions. If the ground speed is slow, the parallel entry leg can extend well beyond the normal
inbound leg turn (as shown in the figure Typical holding entry options). Even with the extended entry leg, the
FMS maintains the aircraft well within the protected airspace for a holding pattern.
Flying Hold
The FMS provides holding pattern steering data to the flight control system. The FMS calculates to steer the
aircraft in the smallest symmetrical racetrack pattern within the selected bank angle limit of the aircraft. The
normal bank angle limit is 25 degrees (most autopilot systems) up to 30 degrees in some cases. Holding patterns

Changes
6 Changing the hold direction, leg time, leg length, or inbound course on the Hold dialog box causes the FMS
to immediately recalculate the holding pattern. If a change to a holding pattern results in the aircraft being
off the holding track, the FMS steers the aircraft onto the new holding pattern track using the smallest course
change that is necessary.
Exit
Holds can be exited in one of two ways depending on whether or not the hold is part of an approach procedure
(Hold in Lieu of a Procedure Turn).
Holds in Lieu of a Procedure Turn
When making a direct or teardrop entry into a Hold in Lieu of a Procedure Turn hold for an approach, Exit Hold
is automatically selected as soon as the aircraft enters the hold. When making a parallel entry into this hold,
Exit Hold is selected after completing the entry. The pilot can manually select or cancel Exit Hold at any time.
The aircraft automatically exits this type of hold when established on the inbound course at the Intercept (INTC)
waypoint as shown on the map display and the Fly icon, Route tab of the shown flight plan, rather than at the FIX
waypoint.
Other Holds
When Exit Hold is selected and executed, the Exit Selected message shows on the Hold dialog box and the Fly
icon, Route tab, of the shown flight plan, and the FMS steers the aircraft to exit the holding pattern onto the next
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 1 Principles of FMS 13-17 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
leg of the flight plan. If the aircraft is on the outbound turn or leg of the holding pattern when Exit Hold is selected
and executed, the FMS immediately begins to steer the aircraft back to the inbound leg to the fix. If the aircraft is
on the inbound turn or leg when Exit Hold is selected, the aircraft continues around the holding pattern to the fix
in the normal manner. In both cases, the FMS steers the aircraft to fly over the holding fix waypoint and capture
the course for the next leg of the flight plan.
Cancel Exit
An Exit Hold can be canceled at any time. If Cancel Exit is selected and executed after the FMS has initiated a
turn to the inbound leg to exit the hold, it continues the turn to the inbound leg and return to the fix. After crossing
the fix, the FMS follows the complete holding pattern in the normal way.
If the aircraft is on the inbound turn or leg before crossing the fix when Cancel Exit is selected and executed, the
FMS steers the aircraft around the holding pattern as if Exit Hold had not been selected and executed.

waypoint alert flashes the waypoint for 5 seconds. When the aircraft is within 5 seconds of passing abeam the
last waypoint, the waypoint alert flashes the waypoint again. As the aircraft passes abeam the last waypoint, the
FMS begins steering to maintain wings level flight. The FMS continues to steer wings level until it is deselected
as the navigation source, or until a new waypoint is entered into the flight plan. The Fly icon, Route tab, of the
shown flight plan shows the last waypoint until a new one is entered.

Operating in the Northern Control Area
The Northern Control Area (NCA) is a region of northern polar airspace where all operations are conducted with
reference to True North. In the NCA:
• VOR/VORTAC/TACAN stations are referenced to True North.
• Tracks/courses/headings on airways, RNAV routes, and procedures are referenced to True North.
• ATC clearances, vectors, and headings are provided referenced to True North.
When a VOR station is aligned to True North, the facility data box on an en route chart shows VOR oriented on
True North or VOR/DME oriented True North. The FMS shows the information that a VOR station is aligned to
True North.
Recommended Procedure
In high latitudes, including Polar Regions, operators should use caution when selecting a VOR as a navigation
source without first determining the north reference of the station. The north reference of the VOR should match
the aircraft heading reference.
When the aircraft heading reference is set to True North, VOR information should not be shown on the bearing
pointers. The bearing pointer should only be used to show VOR information when both the aircraft heading
system and the VOR station are referenced to magnetic north.
In all situations, the magenta course needle shows the correct VOR radial. In situations where the north reference
matches (magnetic/magnetic or true/true) the magenta course needle also points to the station.

WARNING
It is the responsibility of the pilot to properly operate the aircraft visually to the runway during Visual Me-
teorological Conditions (VMC). FMS visual approaches provide situational awareness only and do not provide
obstacle clearance.
For a visual approach or any other approach not approved for FMS guidance (for example, IGS or TACAN), the

To load a visual approach, select a runway from the list on the Arrivals dialog box. The runway list is near the RWY EXT - Runway Extension
bottom of the available approach list. When a runway is selected the FMS automatically provides a runway

sensitivity remains the same at 500 feet full scale sensitivity.
The FMS creates a discontinuity between the last en route or STAR waypoint and the runway extension waypoint.
The discontinuity can be deleted or the pilot can initiate a Direct-To the runway extension at the appropriate time.
If no other altitude constraints exist at prior waypoints, the VNAV function computes the TOD and en route descent
profile to the selected altitude at the visual approach runway extension waypoint. The computed Vertical Path
Angle (VPA) may not provide obstacle clearance.
Changing the selected runway removes the previously selected runway, and associated runway extension fix,
from the flight plan. The new selected runway replaces the old selected runway, unless the old selected runway
is the active waypoint. In that case, the new selected runway is inserted after the active waypoint. Changing a
runway extension fix removes any previously selected runway extension fix from the flight plan, unless the old
runway extension fix is the active waypoint. In that case, the new runway extension fix is inserted after the active
waypoint.

when SBAS VNAV is used for LPV approaches.
On the PFD, the lateral deviation bar on the HSI provides the lateral guidance, and the vertical deviation pointer
provides vertical guidance. The FMS provides lateral steering commands to fly the aircraft along the flight path
route and vertical steering commands to descend along a vertical path.

There can be short periods when the required approach accuracy is unavailable. By predicting future GNSS
satellite positions, the FMS is capable of estimating the availability of approach accuracy. This feature is called
Predictive Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (P-RAIM) and is used on non-precision approaches. Pre-
dictive Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is available for non-precision approaches and found on
the FMS Status format. Normally, the active flight plan contains the required data (destination and ETA) and the
estimates are made automatically. The pilot can change the time and destination to check RAIM availability for
alternate destinations and arrival times. Pilot entries show in large font characters and automatic entries from a
flight plan show in small font characters.
GNSS P-RAIM status annunciations for the specified DEST and ETA that show on the FMS Status format are:

be flown with GPS/GNSS. If “GPS” or “GNSS” is not in the approach title, then it must be flown with VOR (GNSS

When the aircraft is inside the terminal area with a VOR/DME or VOR/DME RNAV non-precision approach loaded,
the pilot display shows the following:
• Lateral deviation scaling adjusts to ±1.0 NM.
• Vertical deviation scaling adjusts to ±500 feet.
When the aircraft is 2 NM from the FAF and the flight plan intercept angle to the final approach course is not
greater than 45 degrees, the FMS transitions to the approach mode. The items that follow show on the pilot
displays:
• Lateral deviation scaling remains at ±1.0 NM.
• Vertical deviation scaling adjusts to ±250 feet.
Approaches that terminate at a Missed Approach Point (MAP) located somewhere other than the runway thresh-
old do not contain VPA information past the FAF in the navigation database. Examples include circling approaches
and approaches that have the MAP as a NAVAID on the field. When this type of approach is selected, V-MDA, in
white font, shows above the MAP altitude constraint on the Fly icon, Route tab, and the VPA between the MAP
and previous waypoint is empty.
Since VPA information is not available past the FAF, the FMS does not provide vertical guidance past the FAF
and the VNAV mode stays at VALT (aircraft in level flight) or change to VPTCH (aircraft descending) until the
aircraft levels at the V-MDA altitude constraint specified for the MAP.
If the navigation database provides VPA information for a conventional approach past the FAF, the FMS can
continue to provide vertical guidance down to the MAP altitude. On the Fly icon, Route tab, VPA information
is available between the MAP waypoint and the previous waypoint with no label shown above the MAP altitude
constraint.
The MAP altitude constraint is based on the available VPA information and it can be below the MDA altitude shown
on the approach minima. Normally a descent in VGP mode is not authorized for these approaches because VGP
ignores the preselector altitude set to the MDA. The AFCS must be set to NAV for these approaches, not APPR.

16 When the aircraft is within the terminal area and a localizer based approach is entered in the flight plan, the
FMS configures for a NAV-to-NAV transfer.
• Both navigation receivers are tuned to the localizer frequency when the navigation radios are set to
AUTO Tuning mode. (Once the frequency is set, the FMS switches the radio to MAN Tuning mode.)
• When the tuning mode is set to MAN, a Loc Will Be Tuned message shows for 30 seconds prior to the

using the ILS glideslope when the glideslope signal is intercepted.
Selecting APPR mode on the AFCS arms the system for NAV-to-NAV capture. Use discretion in choosing the
proper time to arm for the approach since radar vectors or published approach routes can prematurely get close
to or cross the localizer signal. Select the APPR mode only after making sure the FMS has completed the NAV-
to-NAV set up, the aircraft is in a position to capture the localizer, and cleared for the approach. The set up is
complete when the localizer is tuned, LOC is the preselect navigation source, and the localizer course is set.
In the case of a L or R PFD failure, the cross side FMS can tune the loc frequency. The NAV-NAV transfer will
not be successful if both PFDs are using the crossside FMS set as the Nav Source (i.e., L-PFD Nav Source is
FMS2, R-PFD Nav source is FMS1). The actual localizer path can differ from the FMS path between the FACF
and the runway. If the localizer signal is intercepted at a very small angle, it is possible that the flight path will not
converge properly with the localizer, and capture could be uncertain.
Other Conventional Approaches
17 The FMS is not authorized to provide approach guidance for VOR only (for example, VOR), TACAN, or
approaches using NDB guidance (for example, NDB or NDB/DME) without a GNSS overlay. When these
approaches are loaded, the message REF APPR shows on the HSI and Appr for Ref Only shows when
the aircraft is inside the terminal area. The deviation scaling remains at ±1.0 NM for lateral and ±500 feet
vertically throughout the approach. The FMS uses Baro-VNAV for vertical guidance during the descent.
Approach Transitions
Transitions are used to guide the aircraft to the approach environment. Transitions available for any given ap-
proach can include specific charted and named transitions, ATC vectored transitions, or a combination of both.
Selection of an approach on the Arrivals dialog box shows the list of transitions available for that approach under
the TRANS annunciation. VECTORS is the default transition for all approaches.

Hold in Lieu of a Procedure Turn
When an approach includes a Hold in Lieu of a Procedure Turn, and the FMS sequences to the waypoint of that
hold, the hold is automatically armed for exit. The aircraft flies the holding pattern, then complete the approach
procedure. When the FMS requires a Teardrop or Parallel entry to enter the hold pattern, the exit is automatically
armed when the entry to the hold is complete. Any holding pattern loaded with a procedure (SID, STAR, approach,
or missed approach) automatically arms for exit without the pilot selecting the Exit Hold. At any time the pilot can
exit the hold pattern.
If ATC clearance requires a further hold, select Cancel Exit on the Hold dialog box, Route Format, or FMS text
window on the map to cancel the hold exit and continue flying the hold. When cleared to exit the hold, select Exit
Hold to arm the FMS to exit the hold and continue the approach.
Hold in Lieu of a Procedure Turn in an approach transition have a waypoint labeled INTC at the point where the
holding pattern intercepts the final approach course. VNAV does not provide descent guidance while in the hold.
Once the aircraft exits the hold and the INTC waypoint becomes the TO waypoint, VNAV guidance becomes
active.
Not all approaches have a hold in the approach transition. Some missed approach procedures end with a hold
at the same waypoint used as the final approach fix. In an approach with these conditions, to enter a hold at
the FAF as part of a non-published approach procedure, a new hold at the FAF must be added. Add a hold by
selecting the FAF waypoint with the cursor on the Fly icon, Route tab or MAP format. A flight plan waypoint task
menu shows with HOLD as a selection. Select HOLD to add a new hold at the FAF waypoint. This results in
what appears to be two holds at the same waypoint. One of the holds is at the FAF and the other hold is part of
the missed approach procedure.

18 A missed approach is recommended in any of the following events unless visual contact is established and
maintained with the runway:
• Excessive vertical deviation (beyond full scale)
• Excessive lateral deviation (beyond full scale)
• No Appr alert
• Unable RNP alert
• Appr Not Available alert
• GNSS Not Available alert
• Chk Pos alert.
At any point while flying an approach, the pilot can execute missed approach procedures. The FMS can help
reduce pilot workload, but the pilot must disable the approach.
An approach can be disabled, prior to the MAP, by any of the methods that follow:
• Push the TOGA button.
• If the TO waypoint is the MAP, deselect Seq Inhibit on the Fly icon, Route tab, or FMS text window on the
map, followed by selecting EXEC on the MKP, FMS Touchscreen Toolbar or map.
• Delete the FAF waypoint.
While on the missed approach, the pilot can edit the flight plan to select a new approach, or sequence the FMS
to a waypoint on the route to the alternate airport.

13.2 Appendix 2 Principles of VNAV Acronyms/Terms
Selecting VNAV mode on the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) allows the autopilot to sequence modes
and set target speeds and altitudes to maintain the flight plan requirements within the constraints of the prese-
lector altitude setting. The preselector overrides any VNAV commands, except descending in glidepath mode,
generated by the FMS. With VNAV the pilot has command of all autopilot modes while VNAV is active: Flight
Level Change (FLC), Vertical Speed (VS), Pitch (PTCH), and altitude hold. Target speeds are set with the air-
speed reference knob on the Flight Control Panel or automatically by the FMS. The FMS gives the appropriate
VNAV warning annunciations to alert the pilot of any violation to flight plan constraints.
VNAV follows the flight plan during all phases of flight. It levels the aircraft on capture of the preselect altitude or
flight plan target altitude and begins a descent at a planned location. Step climbs can be initiated by setting the
preselect altitude and selecting the climb mode.
During the descent mode, VNAV computes a vertical path to each waypoint and gives guidance relative to that
path making sure that the descent altitude constraints are honored. In addition to following a planned vertical
profile that is entered in the FMS flight plan, the vertical Direct-To feature allows a continuous descent path directly
to an altitude at a waypoint.
Vertical navigation information shows on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) when VNAV is selected. The informa-
tion that shows includes:
• The next altitude constraint.
• Vertical deviation from the planned descent path.
• Vertical speed needed to fly directly to the next altitude constraint.

nal Arrival Route (STAR), and approach procedures, the appropriate speed and altitude constraints at waypoints
are automatically loaded into the flight plan. The pilot can set up the VNAV default parameters so each flight LOC - Localizer
is automatically initialized in accordance with the way the aircraft is flown. When non-standard flight conditions PFD - Primary Flight Display
arise, the VNAV parameters can be modified for that flight without changing the default values for subsequent VGP - Vertical Glidepath
flights. No data entry is required on the Calc page to activate VNAV, unless modification to the defaults or addition
to a speed or altitude constraint is necessary.
To get to the Calc page, select the Calc icon on the FMS Menu bar. To display the VNAV default parameters,
select the Setup icon on the FMS Menu bar, followed by selecting the Defaults tab and VNAV tab.
VNAV Select and Deselect
Push the VNAV button on the FCP to select and deselect VNAV. VNAV is active when it is both valid and selected.
VNAV is valid when the three conditions that follow are met:
• An ACT FPLN with a TO waypoint exists in the FMS.
• The pilot NAV source is either a valid FMS or Localizer (LOC) (if a valid NAV-to-NAV transfer occurred).
• Preselector altitude, barometric altitude, ground speed, vertical speed, vertical acceleration, and true air-
speed.
PFD Annunciations and Displays
Modes
Captured VNAV modes are annunciated at the top of the Primary Flight Display (PFD) where the autopilot ver-
tical modes are annunciated. A captured VNAV mode annunciation shows the letter V in front of the autopilot
annunciations. Descent path (VPATH or Vertical Glidepath (VGP)) and VNAV altitude capture and hold (VALTV
CAP and VALTV) are additional unique VNAV modes that are also annunciated on the PFD.

is selected. One of the HSI messages that follow shows to identify the reason why the VNAV is invalid when VNAV
is selected:
• CHECK NAV SOURCE
• VNAV SENSOR FAIL.
Flight Plan Target Altitude
The VNAV data provides a Flight Plan Target Altitude (FPTA) derived from the altitude constraints in the active
flight plan. The FPTA shows on the PFD near the preselector altitude when VNAV is active or advisory VNAV is
selected. Generally, it is the next altitude constraint in the flight plan consistent with the current phase of flight.
Therefore, a distant descent altitude constraint is not shown when the aircraft is climbing to cruise altitude.
The FPTA is the next altitude constraint that will be captured by VNAV unless the preselector overrides this al-
titude. Whether or not the altitude is captured depends on the type of altitude constraint and the geometry of
adjacent altitude constraints. If VNAV captures the target altitude, ALTV shows on the PFD. Otherwise if VNAV
captures the preselector altitude, ALTS shows on the PFD. For step descents, where the aircraft levels at an
intermediate constraint altitude, the intermediate altitude remains in view after passing the constraint waypoint
so that the autopilot can continue to hold that altitude.
A FPTA changes to the next target altitude 60 seconds before the next waypoint change, provided the current
target altitude has been captured.
The altitude being captured or tracked (preselector, VNAV FPTA, or pressure) is identified on the PFD by the
suffix character in the active mode display field. Refer to the tables that follow.

follow:
GP - Approach Glidepath
• ALTV, PTCH (climb or descent) GS - Glideslope
• FLC (climb only) FCP - Flight Control Panel
• VS, PATH, GP (descent only).
4 The general principles for arming the modes are as follows:
• In the climb phase, VNAV arms for FLC if the aircraft is holding at a VALT, VALTS, or VALTV, the pres-
elector is above the current aircraft altitude, and there is a down-track climb altitude constraint.
• In the cruise or descent phase, VNAV arms for PATH if there is a down-track descent altitude constraint,
the preselector is below the current aircraft altitude, and all other conditions are normal.
• GP is a special case of PATH. VNAV arms for GP instead of PATH when APPR is selected on the Flight
Control Panel (FCP) inside the terminal area.
The two figures that follow, FLC Armed scenario and Arm Mode annunciations, depict various VNAV armed sce-
narios when the aircraft is on both the lateral and vertical flight plans. Any given mode remains armed until that
mode captures or the conditions are changed. Captured modes show above the armed mode.

Altitude (PSA) is encountered during a climb, the altitude is captured and held using an altitude hold mode (ALTV
or ALTS). The altitude hold mode controls PTCH to maintain the commanded altitude. PSA - Preselect Altitude
MFW - Multifunction Window
The climb phase is entered whenever the FPTA and the preselect altitude are set above the altitude of the aircraft,
and the autopilot is in an altitude change mode (FLC, VS, or PTCH).
Altitude Constraints
When one or more climb altitude constraints are specified in the flight plan, VNAV allows the aircraft to climb to
each constraint altitude and hold that altitude until the constraint is cleared. If the altitude constraint requires the
aircraft to cross the waypoint AT the specified altitude or requires the aircraft to cross the waypoint AT OR BELOW
the specified altitude, the specified altitude is held until the waypoint is reached. If the altitude constraint requires
the aircraft to cross the waypoint BETWEEN two altitudes, the higher altitude is held. If the altitude constraint
requires the aircraft to cross the waypoint AT OR ABOVE the specified altitude, then there is no requirement to
hold an altitude. While in the climb phase, VNAV honors only climb constraints.
When the aircraft approaches an altitude constraint, the FMS continually updates the predicted altitude intercept
at the constraint waypoint. If the predicted altitude intercept at the constraint waypoint violates the altitude con-
straint, the message Unable Next Alt shows in yellow on the PFD HSI, ALT shows in yellow, and MSG shows
flashing in yellow on the PFD.
If the aircraft is at a constraint altitude and the preselector altitude is raised, the FPTA is above the current flight
altitude, and an altitude change mode (FLC, VS, or PTCH) is selected, VNAV allows the aircraft to leave the
constraint altitude. If the constraint is an AT, AT OR BELOW or BETWEEN altitude, the message Check Fpln Alt
shows on the PFD HSI. This message also shows when the VNAV selection is made while the aircraft is above
the next climb constraint altitude.
The vertical speed advisory pointer that shows on the VSI indicates the climb rate needed for the next altitude
constraint from the aircraft present position. This advisory information shows to aid the pilot in judging the climb
requirements.
When the aircraft is within capture distance of the constraint altitude, the VNAV shows VALTS CAP or VALTV
CAP and then changes to VALTS or VALTV. It remains in VALTS, VALTV, or VALT mode until a climb starts again.
If the capture altitude is not the same as the preselect altitude, an aural alert is issued when the aircraft is within
1000 feet of the capture.
5 One minute before the aircraft reaches the altitude constraint waypoint in an altitude hold mode, the annun-
ciation BOC shows on the PFD, and the flight plan target altitude changes to the next altitude constraint. If
the preselector altitude is not raised at least 45 seconds before the aircraft reaches the altitude constraint
waypoint, the message Check Alt Sel shows on the Multifunction Window (MFW) map display along with a

Cruise Acronyms/Terms
The cruise phase begins when the cruise altitude is captured. Cruise speed command is the Mach or IAS speed VS - Vertical Speed
target that shows on the Calc page. If the cruise altitude is so low that an altitude speed constraint from the Calc VPA - Vertical Path Angle
page is applicable, then the cruise speed command is limited to that altitude dependent speed limit.
To execute a step climb, raise the preselector altitude to the step climb altitude and select a climb mode. The
FMS automatically raises the cruise altitude shown on the VNAV tab to the preselector altitude and the step climb
begins. Climb speed targets are used for planned reference speed during a step climb.
Descent
Vertical navigation provides path guidance (VPATH or VGP), speed referenced descent guidance (VFLC), and
PTCH (VPTCH) and Vertical Speed (VS) descent modes to arrive at a waypoint at a specified altitude. In general,
planned and Direct-To VNAV descents are path-based descents, where PTCH steering follows a straight line
descent path and speed is controlled by manual thrust management.
The pilot can select any descent mode that does not provide path guidance to an altitude at a waypoint (FLC,
PTCH, or VS). The altitude constraints are annunciated and enforced during all descents. Descent advisory to
a destination that has no terminal altitude constraint is not automatically initiated. The recommended entry point
for the descent advisory shows on the MFW map and on the Fly icon, Route tab, as DES.
The descent phase is entered when the preselector altitude is set below the current altitude of the aircraft and an
altitude change mode (FLC, PTCH, or VS) is selected on the flight control panel. The descent phase can also
include altitude hold segments.
Path
The descent path is defined by an altitude at a waypoint and a Vertical Path Angle (VPA). The VPA is the angle
that defines a straight line path through the target altitude at the target waypoint. The target altitude and target
waypoint comprise the next descent altitude constraint in the flight plan ahead of the present position of the air-
craft. The VPA is one of the items that follow:
• The angle that appears on the Calc page.
• The angle loaded from the navigation database.
• The angle entered by the pilot on the Crossing dialog box.
• The angle computed by the FMS to establish a smooth descent path (shows on the Setup icon, Defaults
tab, VNAV tab).
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 2 Principles of VNAV 13-48 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
• The angle resulting from executing a vertical Direct-To.

Vertical Path Angle
8 The descent path is defined by the VPA. The default VPA is initially shown on the Setup icon, Defaults tab,
VNAV tab, and it is applied to a flight plan when one is created. The default setting can be overwritten on
the Calc page, and applied to the entire descent portion of a flight plan, or overwritten on the Crossing dialog
box for specific descent segments of a flight plan.
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 2 Principles of VNAV 13-49 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
The descent path is computed through AT OR ABOVE, AT OR BELOW, or BETWEEN descent constraints that
are not last in the flight plan or before a discontinuity. This allows the FMS to maintain the selected VPA and
perform path smoothing whenever possible to create a continuous descent path through these constraints. AT
OR ABOVE, AT OR BELOW, and BETWEEN constraints are always honored but they do not restrict the path.
In the approach phase of flight, VNAV computes a descent path that flies to the first altitude constraint in the
approach transition even if it is specified as AT OR ABOVE in the flight plan.
For a smooth descent path, the FMS cannot select a VPA greater than the maximum allowable VPA for the aircraft.
If adjacent altitude constraints require a steeper path than the limit for the aircraft, the lower altitude constraint
shows in yellow on the Fly icon, Route tab. The message Unable Fpln Alt shows on the PFD HSI message line
to alert the pilot to the need to resolve the vertical path ambiguity.
Vertical Direct-To
The pilot can specify a descent path from the current position of the aircraft Direct-To a selected altitude at a
waypoint, which includes:
• The next altitude constraint waypoint in the flight plan.
• Any down-track altitude constraint waypoint in the flight plan.
• Any other waypoint in the flight plan, provided a new altitude constraint is specified for the waypoint.
All altitude constraints between the current aircraft altitude and the specified Direct-To target altitude are cleared
when a vertical Direct-To is initiated.
The vertical Direct-To path is computed as long as the required VPA is less than the maximum allowable VPA for
the aircraft. A descent path can be very shallow, but it cannot be a climb.
Vertical Direct-To function is available on various WAYPOINT Task menus, the Crossing dialog box, the Aircraft
Task menu and Direct To dialog box.

Vertical Direct-To
Altitude Constraints
When one or more descent altitude constraints are specified in the flight plan, the FMS plans the VNAV path so
the aircraft descends to each constraint altitude. VNAV holds that altitude until the aircraft reaches the planned
TOD to the next altitude constraint. This is true unless the descent path allows the path smoothing feature to
create one continuous descent. When smoothing is used to create the descent path, the path is designed to
keep the aircraft as high as possible for as long as possible without violating any altitude constraints.
When a FLC or FPA descent takes the aircraft down to the altitude constraint of a down track waypoint before
the waypoint is reached, VNAV holds the specified altitude until arrival at the waypoint. This occurs when the
constraint requires the aircraft to cross the waypoint AT the specified altitude, or AT OR ABOVE the specified
altitude.
If the altitude constraint requires the aircraft to cross the waypoint BETWEEN two altitudes, the lower altitude is
held. If the altitude constraint requires the aircraft to cross the waypoint AT OR BELOW the specified altitude,
no altitude is held since there is no requirement to hold altitude before the aircraft reaches the waypoint. In the
descent phase, VNAV honors only descent constraints.
As the aircraft approaches an altitude constraint, the FMS updates the predicted altitude intercept at the con-
straint waypoint. If the predicted altitude intercept at the waypoint violates the altitude constraint, the message
Unable Next Alt shows on the PFD HSI. In addition, the PFD HSI shows ALT in yellow and a flashing yellow MSG
annunciation.
The Unable Next Alt message also shows when the vertical speed of the aircraft is less than the vertical speed
required to reach the constraint.
If the aircraft is approaching an altitude constraint waypoint at the specified altitude the preselector altitude is
lowered, and an altitude change mode is selected, VNAV allows the aircraft to leave the constraint altitude. If
the constraint is an AT, AT OR ABOVE, or BETWEEN, the message Check Fpln Alt shows on the PFD HSI. This
message also shows the selected VNAV when the aircraft is already below the next descent constraint altitude.
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 2 Principles of VNAV 13-51 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
When the aircraft is within the capture distance of a constraint altitude, the VNAV mode automatically sequences
to altitude hold and remains in altitude hold until the descent is resumed. The PFD shows an altitude capture
annunciation after the mode switch. If the capture altitude is not the same as the preselector altitude, an aural
alert is issued when the aircraft is within 1000 feet of the capture altitude.
Preselector Altitude Capture
During a descent, VNAV captures the preselector altitude, instead of the FPTA, when the preselector altitude is
not set below the flight plan target altitude. When it captures a preselector altitude, it changes the VNAV mode
to the VALTS mode.
Top of Descent
The predicted TOD location shows on the MFW map displays to help the pilot anticipate an upcoming descent.
TOD also shows on the Fly icon, Route tab, to show the relationship of the TOD location relative to other flight
plan waypoints.
The initial location of the TOD is at the intersection of the planned cruise altitude and the planned descent path. If
there is a subsequent planned altitude hold segment that follows an altitude constraint waypoint, TOD also shows
at the top of the second descent segment as shown in the figure Flight plan with two descent segments.
If the aircraft is close to and approaching the descent path, and is not at a planned cruise altitude that intercepts
the path, the FMS recalculates the TOD location based on the intersection of the current altitude and the descent
path. The aircraft is considered to be close to the descent path when it is 50 NM or 20 percent of the distance
from origin to the destination, whichever is smaller (but not less than 6 NM).
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 2 Principles of VNAV 13-52 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
One minute before the aircraft intercepts the planned descent path, TOD shows on the PFD HSI message line and
the FPTA is changed to the next waypoint altitude. The preselector altitude must be lowered below the current
aircraft altitude for the descent to begin at TOD.
Forty-five seconds before the aircraft reaches the TOD, if the preselector altitude has not been lowered, the
message Check Alt Sel shows on the PFD HSI, and the Messages dialog box.
Five seconds before the aircraft reaches the TOD, the annunciation TOD flashes on the PFD HSI and an aural
alert is sounded. If the preselector altitude is set lower than the current altitude of the aircraft before the aircraft
reaches the TOD, the VNAV mode automatically sequences to VPATH, and the descent starts when the aircraft
reaches the TOD. If the preselector altitude is not set lower than the current altitude of the aircraft before the
aircraft reaches the TOD, VNAV continues in the VALT mode.
Scenarios
The series of figures that follow show various scenarios for descents. The track of the aircraft shows as a solid
line, preselector settings show as a dashed line, and the FMS flight-planned path shows as a thick solid line. Also,
autopilot mode selections show in a box with the associated arm and capture mode annunciations below them.

Off Flight Plan Descents
Basic vertical navigation operation assumes the flight plan is being followed. During the course of a flight, the
aircraft may be required to fly through a flight plan discontinuity, fly ATC vectors, or capture a localizer. In these
cases and others, it is likely that the route is different both laterally and vertically from the flight plan entered into
the FMS. This section gives some specifics about VNAV operations when the aircraft is not on the flight plan.
Path Modes
VPATH automatically reverts to VPTCH descent when the straight line geographic descent path to an altitude
constraint waypoint becomes ambiguous. This occurs when:
®
13 Appendix > Appendix 2 Principles of VNAV 13-56 Bombardier Challenger 604 Pro Line Fusion
• Descent path terminates in a vertical discontinuity. Acronyms/Terms
• Track angle error exceeds an acceptable threshold. ARP - Airport Reference Point
• Cross track deviation exceeds an acceptable threshold.
The pilot can still use FLC, Vertical Speed (VS), PTCH, and altitude hold modes.
Acceptable track angle error and cross track deviation thresholds depend on the airspace environment. In en
route and oceanic/remote areas, track angle error must be less than 75 degrees and cross track deviation less
than 10 NM.
In the terminal area track angle error must be less than 75 degrees. The acceptable cross track deviation de-
creases from 10 NM at the terminal area boundary to 1.1 NM at 5 NM from the Airport Reference Point (ARP).
In the approach area, track angle error must be less than 30 degrees and cross track deviation must be less than
110 percent of the full scale cross track deviation.
Heading Mode
When using heading mode to follow ATC vectors, and the active flight plan leg is not a vectors leg, the FMS
continues to sequence the flight plan as the aircraft passes abeam the waypoints. VNAV also continues to fly to
the next altitude constraint at the TO waypoint or beyond, and the altitude constraints continue to sequence as
the flight plan sequences. Path descents remain active, provided the aircraft is within the course and cross track
deviation limits specified above and the active leg has a defined track.
FLC, VS, or VPTCH descents can be used when a flight plan vectors leg is before the next altitude constraint, as
there is no specified track for a vectors leg. A DES advisory shows on the MFW map display if a TOD based on
great circle distances occurs before the vectors leg.
Discontinuities
VNAV remains active when the FMS sequences the ACT/MOD FPLN to a discontinuity. The flight can be contin-
ued using the heading mode, or the discontinuity can be removed, which then returns the aircraft to tracking the
ACT FPLN.
VNAV honors altitude constraints across a discontinuity and captures that altitude if intercepted. VNAV cannot
fly a path descent in VPATH or VGP mode across a discontinuity.

Approaches Acronyms/Terms
The FMS provides Barometric Vertical Navigation (Baro-VNAV) vertical guidance for most approaches. The Baro-VNAV - Barometric Vertical
FMS uses Space Based Augmentation System (SBAS) VNAV for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Navigation
approaches that have published LPV or LNAV/VNAV(LPV) approach minimums. SBAS - Space Based Augmenta-
When using Baro-VNAV, vertical deviation scale sensitivity changes from ±500 feet (two dots) to ±250 feet (two tion System
dots) once approach mode is active. SBAS VNAV provides angular vertical deviation scaling (similar to ILS GNSS - Global Navigation Satel-
glideslope) with increasing sensitivity as the aircraft gets closer to the runway. lite System
When the NAV AFCS mode is selected, automatic vertical guidance is supplied in VPATH mode requiring the FAF - Final Approach Fix
pilots to adjust the preselector altitude to the next altitude constraint to begin the descent. When APPR AFCS
mode is set, the FMS gives automatic descent guidance in VGP mode along the generated glidepath. With VGP
mode set, VNAV ignores the preselector altitude.
For VPATH or VGP to remain active, the track angle error and cross track deviation should not exceed the limits
specified for each stage of the approach. In the terminal area track angle error must be less than 75 degrees.
The acceptable cross track deviation decreases from 10 NM at the terminal area boundary, to 1.1 NM at 5 NM
from the ARP. In the approach area, track angle error must be less than 30 degrees and cross track deviation
must be less than 110 percent of the full scale cross track deviation.
When VNAV is enabled, climb guidance is provided to the published altitude constraints in the missed approach
procedure in VFLC or VPTCH mode. VNAV does not initiate a climb during the missed approach, but guidance
is provided for the procedure.
ILS and Localizer-Based Approaches
The VNAV descent profile on all localizer-based approaches does not descend below the Final Approach Fix
(FAF) altitude. In the case of an ILS approach, the VNAV can remain active until glideslope capture. The pilot is
responsible for descent below the FAF altitude on localizer-only approaches. VNAV remains active after localizer
capture. When flying a localizer based approach, the FMS remains in Terminal mode and uses Baro-VNAV with
vertical deviation scaling at ±500 feet.
9 The VNAV descent for an ILS approach is designed to reach the glideslope intercept altitude 0 to 5 NM
BEFORE the aircraft intercepts the glideslope. This behavior is also observed if the pilot conducts a Vertical
Direct-To the FAF on an ILS approach procedure. This allows the aircraft to establish stabilized level flight
to intercept glideslope, as shown in the following figure. The descent path will reach glideslope intercept
altitude at least 5 NM before the glideslope intercept, unless the approach geometry is very tight. Once the
