WFDE PREDICTION PROgRAM INSTRuCTIONS 1 OVERVIEW The following sections provide an overview of the WFDE Prediction Program and guidelines for when it should be used. Section 1.2 provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for when a WFDE prediction is required that is applicable to any installation of a Garmin WAAS enabled unit. Section 1.3 provides specific guidance for GTN 6XX/7XX installations. 1.1 FAul T DETECTION AND ExCluSION (FDE) The GARMIN G1000 with GIA 63W, the GNS480/CNX80, and
