The Garmin Route planning program determines the latitude for each 10 degree longitude increment and presents the reporting point name, latitude, and longitude as shown below.

Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) The GARMIN G1000 with GIA 63W, the GNS480, and the GNS 400W/500W Series products incorporate Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) features, satisfying the requirements of TSO-C145a, TSO-C146a, and "GPS Oceanic/Remote Navigation" per FAA AC 20-138A Appendix 1. FDE consists of two distinct parts: fault detection and fault exclusion. Fault detection (RAIM) detects the presence of an unacceptably large pseudorange error (and presumably, position error) for a given mode of flight. Fault detection is synonymous with RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring). Upon the detection of a fault, fault exclusion follows and excludes the source of the unacceptably large pseudorange error, thereby allowing navigation to return to normal performance without an interruption in service. FDE functionality is provided for oceanic, en route, terminal, and non-precision approach phases of flight. The FDE functionality adheres to the missed alert probability, false alert probability, and failed exclusion probability specified by TSO-C145a/146a. The WFDE Prediction Program (006-A0154-01, 006-A0154-02, and 006-A015403) is designed for use with TSO-C145a/TSO-C146a approved, WAAS-(Wide Area Augmentation System) certified Garmin products. These products include: · GPS 400W, GNC 420W, GNC 420AW, GNS 430W, GNS 430AW · GPS 500W, GPS 500W TAWS, GNS 530W, GNS 530W TAWS, GNS 530AW, GNS 530AW TAWS · GNS 480 · G1000 with GIA 63W Pre-Departure Verification of RAIM/FDE A RAIM or FDE prediction must be performed prior to departure for the following types of flight plans: 22 Garmin Route Planning · An FDE prediction is required for Oceanic/Remote operation where GPS is to be the primary source of navigation per FAA AC 20-138A Appendix 1. · A RAIM prediction is required for all other flight operations in accordance with local aviation authority guidelines for TSO-C129a equipment, as required by an Aircraft Flight Manual limitation placed on Garmin G1000 with GIA 63W, GNS 480, and GNS 400W/500W Series products. Examples of such operations include navigation of U. S. Area Navigation (RNAV) routes, Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs), or Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs) per FAA AC 90-100 "U. S. Terminal and En Route Area Navigation (RNAV) Operations". · A WAAS satellite visibility prediction is required for all LVAV/VNAV or LPV approach as required by an Aircraft Flight Manual limitation placed on Garmin G1000 with GIA 63W, GNS 480, and GNS 400W/500W Series products. Prior to departure, the operator must use the WFDE Prediction Program supplied with the applicable trainer or route planning software to demonstrate that there are no outages in the capability to navigate on the specified route of flight. The WFDE Prediction Program determines whether the GPS constellation is robust enough to provide a navigation solution for the specified route of flight. Running the FDE Prediction Program Trainer and route planning software for WAAS-certified Garmin products include a WFDE Prediction Program to meet the FDE requirements for GPS as a primary means of navigation for Oceanic/Remote operations (reference FAA AC 20-138A Appendix 1). The Oceanic/Remote flight phase occurs when the flight plan will place the aircraft more than 200 nautical miles from the nearest airport. All operators using a Garmin WAAS-certified unit as primary means of navigation in oceanic/remote areas under FAR parts 91, 121, 125 and 135 must utilize the WFDE Prediction Program prior to conducting a flight in these areas. RNAV routes, SIDs, and STARs (reference FAA AC 90-100) all operators of Garmin WAAS-certified units must utilize the WFDE Prediction Program to determine RAIM availability. All operators of Garmin WAAS-certified units should utilize the WFDE Prediction Program to determine WAAS satellite visibility when planning an LNAV/VNAV or LPV approach.
