failure in its GPS receiver.
The protocol version or database
version don't match between the GTN
and GNS units
The installed terrain database does
not have sufficient resolution to
support HTAWS
A valid value of magnetic variation is
not available for this location.
Verify all course angles
Improper antenna installation or coax
routing
Antenna shaded from satellites

Check GPS antenna
installation, connections, and
cable routing. The GPS
antenna must be mounted on
the top of the aircraft.
Make sure the aircraft is clear
of hangars, buildings, trees,
etc.
Move GPS antenna further
from the COM antenna. Add a
1575.42 MHz notch filter in
COM coax. Fix or replace the
COM. Disconnect the ELT
antenna coax to check for
possible re-radiation.
