Information/SatNav Positioning

The page SatNav Positioning provides status information on the satellite positioning system. To access the page, open the main menu and choose “Information/SatNav Positioning.”

Status

This field shows the data connection currently used and lists the types of data presently received.

Position

This field shows the position reported by the satellite navigation system.

True Altitude

This field shows the true altitude reported by the satellite navigation system.

True altitude AGL or AMSL is the vertical distance from the aircraft to the terrain or to the main sea level, respectively.

Warning

True altitude is not the same as barometric altitude, which is the altitude shown on your aircraft’s altimeter. Depending on weather conditions, true altitude and barometric altitude may differ substantially. Never use true altitude to judge the vertical distance from your aircraft to an airspace boundary.

Other

The last field on the page shows the timestamp of the last position report. If available, it also shows the magnetic variation for your current position.
