NAV Mode<br />

When <strong>the</strong> Mode Select switch is set to NAV, <strong>the</strong> large<br />

RADAR Panel<br />

The RADAR mode display a high-resolution radar<br />

image of <strong>the</strong> landscape ahead of <strong>the</strong> aircraft in <strong>the</strong><br />

large monitor, and saves <strong>the</strong> small monitor to <strong>the</strong><br />

1) Radar mode is entered by selecting <strong>the</strong> 10, 20, or<br />

40 mile range button in <strong>the</strong> RADAR panel in <strong>the</strong><br />

upper right corner of <strong>the</strong> screen, or by changing <strong>the</strong><br />

Mode Select switch to RADAR.<br />

2) Current altitude is displayed at <strong>the</strong> base of <strong>the</strong><br />

large monitor along with a cross-shaped marker<br />

representing <strong>the</strong> aircraft.<br />

3) The direction of <strong>the</strong> next waypoint is identified by<br />

a single vertical white hashmark at <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> large<br />

monitor, alongside <strong>the</strong> number of <strong>the</strong> waypoint.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> waypoint comes within range of <strong>the</strong> radar<br />

<strong>the</strong> symbol changes to a cross-shaped marker<br />

representing <strong>the</strong> waypoint, with <strong>the</strong> waypoint's<br />

programmed altitude displayed alongside.<br />

4) If <strong>the</strong> AP (autopilot) light is selected in <strong>the</strong><br />

warning panel, temporary waypoints can be set by<br />

selecting a point representing <strong>the</strong> desired new<br />

direction in <strong>the</strong> large monitor.<br />

A) Altitude for <strong>the</strong> temporary waypoint can be<br />

adjusted by holding down <strong>the</strong> mouse button as <strong>the</strong><br />

selection is made and moving <strong>the</strong> mouse up and<br />

down.<br />

B) When <strong>the</strong> selection is made, a single green<br />

vertical hashmark appears on <strong>the</strong> screen with <strong>the</strong> new<br />

altitude alongside, and <strong>the</strong> FCS steers <strong>the</strong> aircraft<br />

toward <strong>the</strong> temporary waypoint.<br />
