Scheduler Function on Garmin 430/530

Ive been in enough aircraft to know that this function is starting to get a lot of attention, but there are still times where I fly with folks that have no idea what this is, or what it is about.

In the Garmin 430/530 navigators, there is a scheduler function that allows you to set up a recurring message (Alarm) that pops up at a certain interval. I love to use this function to help remind pilots to change tanks.  The Garmin 430 and 530 manual specifically uses this as an example when setting up scheduled tasks.  I know some pilots that use this to remind them of an oil change, transponder testing, and even BFR and medical!

Check out page 157 of the Garmin 430W manual. (Its PDF page 167 in the following download).
A copy of the manual can be found on the Garmin website, or here: http://www.takewinginc.com/documents/GNS430W_PilotGuideandReference.pdf
