1 INTRODUCTION

All of us at Honeywell congratulate you on choosing this product. You are now the owner of one of the
most sophisticated yet simple-to-use Navaids available today. We underst and you probably can't wait
to see it in action but before you try to use it do please take the time to read through this Manual and
understand its many interesting and useful features. Time spent in fam iliaris ing yourself with your new
Bendix/King unit will be more than repaid by trouble-free operation later, and more importantly safe
and accurate navigation.

We have made the operation of this unit as intuitive as possible through the use of sof t keying and on­screen help, thus reducing users' dependence on the Manual. You should ver y quick ly find that handling
it efficiently and expertly becomes second nature to you. Don't be afraid to experiment. No matter which
Key you activate, your unit will not be damaged. If you do get into a mess, simply switch off and back on
again to reset all functions. W e must mention j ust one word of caution. Never remove the memory

card whilst the unit is switched on and never attempt to switch the unit on when there is no

memory card fitted.

Whichever model of our equipment you have chosen, we at Honeywell are sure you will be pleased with
its performance. We thank you for your custom and wish you many happy and safe hours flying.

WARNING

The Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation is operated by the Department of Defence
(DoD) of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Although
declared fully operational on July 17th 1995, the system is still under development and subject to
changes, which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.

Use this equipment at your own risk. Your new Bendix/King equipment is a precision navigation aid
but like any navaid it can be misused or m isinterpr eted and so becom e uns afe. You are str ongly advised
to read and fully understand this Manual before using it. Your unit has a DEMO MODE or simulation
facility that allows you to practice with it before you begin using it for actual navigation.

Whenever you are using the unit for navigation in the air you should treat it as a supplemental
navigation system. You should always carefully compare indications from your Bendix/King equipment
with the information available from all other navigation sources including NDB’s, VOR’s, DME's, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, any discrepancies observed should be resolved immediately.

The altitude calculated by GPS equipment is geom etric height above a theoretical mean sea level of a
mathematically calculated ellipsoid that approx imates to the shape of the earth. This altitude can diff er
significantly from that displayed by your pressure altimeter. You must therefore NEVER USE GPS

ALTITUDE FOR VERTICAL NAVIGATION OR TERRAIN CLEARANCE.

This equipment is not a replac ement for your chart. It is intended as an aid to VFR navigation only.
The database within the equipment has been compiled from the latest of ficial inform ation available, and
although every care has been taken in the compilation, the manufactur ers will not be held res ponsible f o r
any inaccuracy or omissions therein.

baud: bits per sec
barometric altitude: pressure altitude corrected for barometric altimeter setting
bearing to user waypoint: bearing from the present position to the ac tive user waypoint measured

clockwise relative to true or magnetic north (true is implied unless magnetic is specified)
cross track error: distance from the present pos ition to the nearest point on the desired c ourse, and

the direction (right or left) from the desired course to the present position
cursor field: a character position or group of adjacent character positions on which a cursor can

appear
data entry field: A data entry field is a data field where the ENTER, SET or SELECT button must be

pressed before data entered in the field becomes effective. A data entry field can be a single or
multiple character cursor field. During data entry, the active cursor field remains reverse video.

data field: a character position or group of adjacent char acter positions which display a single data
item; a data field may be a single character cursor field, or may contain multiple characters.

data list: an ordered list of data elements which a given cursor field can accept
desired track: The angle, which the desired flight path m akes with respec t to true north at the point

nearest the present position. Magnetic desired track uses the local magnetic variation.
destination: If the active user waypoint is not in the active flight plan, the active us er waypoint is the

destination. If the active user waypoint is in the active flight plan, the final user waypoint in the flight
plan is the destination.

distance to user waypoint: distance from the present position to the active user waypoint
en route safe altitude: the highest m inim um s afe altitude whic h will be encountered for a given flight

path (present position to destination, via flight plan if appr opriate; or a f light path being analysed by trip
planning)

flashing: active for .75 sec ∀.05 sec, inactive for .25 sec ∀.05 sec
ground speed: absolute value of the rate of change of position
headwind: difference between true airspeed and ground speed when true airspeed is more than

ground speed

knots: N.M./hr
minimum safe altitude: Minimum safe altitude is the highest minimum off route altitude for any

sector within a 10 N.M. square centred at a given position. A minimum off route altitude of 7000 f eet
or less clears all known obstruc tions and terrain in a se ctor by 1000 feet; a minim um off route altitude

1-3

greater than 7000 feet clears all terrain by 2000 feet. A sector is an area bounded by a 1

o

latitude/longitude grid.

2 GENERAL INFORMATION

This section of the Manual explains how your Bendix/King unit should be used and provides you with an
overview of the software architecture and screen presentation.

This Manual provides a detailed explanation of eac h of the individual Screens that your Bendix/King unit
displays, and will take you step by step through each of them. To simplify this process each Screen is
numbered and indexed at the front of this Manual for ref erence. For thos e users who wish to get stuc k
into operating the system immediately, the Quick Reference Section of the Manual has been designed to
get you up and running.

The operating system of the Bendix/King Sk ymap IIIC and Tracker IIIC has been developed from the
highly successful Skymap II software. This operating system greatly reduces the number of Key presses
necessary to activate the various functions, especially those most frequently used in the air. The
provision of a joystick makes it c onsiderably simpler to operate the unit and allows you fast and eff icient
access to most function s.

Soft Keying

You will notice that a label is drawn alongside each valid Key. Whenever a new function is selected,
by pressing a valid Key, a new screen is displayed along with its new Key labels. This capability of
drawing Key labels that are only applicable to a particular screen is referred to as ‘sof t keying’, and
allows one key to perform mu ltiple functions without the complications of multiple k ey presses on a
conventional keypad.

For the purpose of describing the function of a particular Key in this Manual, assum e that all the Keys on
the pictured screen drawings are numbered 1 - 5 from top to bottom. The ensuing text will use this
numbering sequence to refer to each specific Key. The number shown alongside the pictured sc reen
drawings refers to the number of the screen, which is called when that Key is pressed. By using thes e
numbers it is possible to follow the paths through the oper ating system f or all f unctions . If the word RET
is printed next to a Key, this means that after the Key function is performed the same screen is
RETurned. A good example of this is ZOOM IN. All sc reen drawings show the full Sk ymap IIIC version
of software in Landscape Standard mode. Variations affecting Tracker IIIC are described in the
accompanying text.

Screen Orientation

The Skymap IIIC and Tracker IIIC software can be run in one of f our dis play modes and so allows you to
mount the unit either horizontally (either landscape standard or inverse) or vertically (either portrait
standard or inverse). This enables the user to configure the unit f or either left or right handed oper ation
or place the Keys along the left, right, top or bottom edges of the case. The default setting on fir st s witch
on is Landscape Standard, and it is this mode that is used to illustr ate the functions of your unit in this
Manual. Refer to Map Setup Screens in the Setup Screens Section of this Manual if you wish to alter
your screen orientation.

Software Architecture

The software in your Bendix/King unit is tree structur ed, an analogy can therefore be drawn between
the trunk of a tree and MAIN MENU. MAIN MENU is the heart of the operating structure and c an be
accessed by pressing the HELP key after power up or the MAIN MENU key at any other time.

MAIN MENU has 5 main software branches, which in turn have their own sub soft ware branc hes. The
diagram overleaf depicts the c om plete tree s tructur e and will serve as a good point of r efer ence whils t
you are familiarising yourself with your unit.

MAP This is the primary operating mode of the unit.

NAV MENU Accesses all navigation functions and MSA inf orm ation. J oystick toggles

NAV Mode.

FLIGHT PLAN Allows a flight plan to be selected and edited.
NEAR APTS Allows emergency search of 10 nearest airports,

providing information and DIRECT TO capability.
Includes Jeppesen and user defined airports which
satisfies the minimum runway length and surface
requirements.

NEAR NAVAID Allows emergency search of 10 nearest beac ons (VOR's

and NDB's), providing information and DIRECT TO
capability.

SAVE WPT Allows your present co-ordinates to be saved in the next

available user waypoint number.

DIRECT TO Allows the user to perform a “goto” or DIRECT TO any point in the

internal or user defined database. It may also be used to obtain
information on any point in the database.

There are short cuts, which allow you to get to the primary operating mode, MAP mode, m ore easily;
but in general if you wish to get to a specific function in another branch of software, work your way
back up the present branch to MAIN MENU by pressing either the SAVE & EXIT, PREV PAGE or
MAIN MENU key. Then select the branch of software that contains the desired function you wish to
access.

Memory Locations

In the function descriptions, three types of m emory, EPROM, RAM and NVM, are mentioned. You m ay
find it useful to know where various types of inform ation are stored in order to mak e best use of the
equipment. The EPROM’s (Er asable Programmable Read Only Memor y) are in the memory card and
are used to hold the operating system and the database. T he m em ory card can be replaced per iodically
in order to upgrade the operating system and update the database. The RAM (Random Access Memory)
is built into the unit and is used to store all user-defined data such as User waypoints and Flight plans.
The RAM is maintained by battery power from an internal Lithium cell, which should be r eplaced by your
Bendix/King dealer every three years to prevent loss of user-defined data. The NVM (Non Volatile
Memory) is also built into the unit. It stores initialisation data, serial number, PIN number and
performance log details. This mem ory is non-volatile which means it is retained even if the memory
battery is removed. If you choose to activate the PIN number security feature (similar to that available on
many car radios) the non-volatile nature of the NVM ensures your PIN cannot be tampered with or
erased.

Screen Icons

When showing any map screen - airports, beacons, towns, inters ections , us er waypoints and many other
data classes are represented by symbols or icons, many of which are user selectable in the Map Setup
Screens. Please refer to the Setup Screens Section of this Manual for further details.

3 POWER AND ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS

Power

Your unit is designed to operate from an exter nal s ourc e providing a voltage between 10V to 33V DC.
An optional AC Power (either 110V or 220/240V) Adapter is also available as an accessory for home
use.

A pre-wired connector is supplied with your unit. The tail end of which either has a Cigar Adapter
(Skymap IIIC) or flying leads (Tracker IIIC). The cable uses four coloured cores and a braided screen.

The red and blue cores of the cable s hould be connected to any DC supply between 10 and 33 Volts,
capable of supplying 2 Amps.

1. Connect the RED core via a 3 Amp fuse to the positive (+) side of a 10V-33V DC power
source.

2. Connect the BLUE core and the braided screen to the negative (-) side of the same power
source.

You may also power your unit from a 12 or 24 volt automobile type cigarette lighter socket. However
certain of these lack proper circuit protection and may provide an unreliable supply so we recomm end
that wherever possible an approved aircraft power source be installed by a licensed radio engineer.

The yellow and green cores are the data in (yellow) and data out (green) lines. If your unit is a Tracker
IIIC, the yellow core (data in) should be connected to the data output line of your GPS. Refer to the
Data Input Section of this Manual for more details.

If your unit is a Skymap IIIC, the yellow core (data in) can also be connected to the data output line of
another GPS, if required and the Skymap IIIC can be switched to Tracker mode and used as a
repeater for that GPS.

Your unit also has a differential serial data input and exter nal alarm outputs available on the 9 way
connector for optional use. The green core of the cable is connected to the s erial data output pin and
may be used to drive an AirData computer, a plotter or a data recording device (s ee Appendix 05 f or
details of data output).

3-2

The data presented across the data output pins is controlled by the settings on Screen 35, Data I
Input/Output Setup and Test Screen. If you want to connect an external audio annunciator to your
unit, do so in accordance with the following drawing and activate it’s operation on Screen 23, NAV
Mode Customisation Screen by setting EXTERNAL ALARM to ON.

If you are not planning to connect either the green or yellow cores, please cut them back and
insulate the cut end. Please do not make connection to pins 3, 6 or 7.

3-3

Antenna Considerations (Skymap IIIC only)

When positioning the antenna, always ensure that the domed (the opposite side to that which
carries the CE marking) face of the antenna is facing straight up to the sky and can “see” a

large area of the sky, preferably right down to the horizon. In order to provide a 3-dimensional fix,

Skymap IIIC needs to receive signals simultaneously from at least four satellites.
The radio signals from the G PS Navs tar s atellites ar e trans mitted in an extremely high frequency band

(1.5GHz). They can be regarded as having approximately the sam e penetration c apabilities as light.
This means that they are able to penetrate only transparent or very thin materials and will be blocked
by almost any material that blocks light.

At least four and at times up to eight GPS s atellites should always be in view from any place in the
world at any time. These can, however, be absolutely anywhere in the sky and so, to ensure
uninterrupted navigation it is essential that the antenna has direct line-of-sight contac t with as much
sky as possible.

If the position in which you wish to locate your Skymap IIIC is shielded from the sk y and the standard
antenna cable is not long enough for an acceptable installation bear ing the above guidelines in mind,
you may choose one of several options for remote antenna sitting. The simplest is to use the
Bendix/King remote antenna extension cable. T his allows the portable antenna to be extended by a
further 6ft (2 metres) thereby allowing mounting up to 12ft (4 meters) away from the m ain unit. The
antenna may be held in place there by using the rubber suction cup supplied (which s hould be s lotted
into the key hole in the antenna bracket) or fixed perm anently in position by using the countersunk
screw mounting holes in the antenna brack et. The rubber suction cup is ideal for tem porary use in
vehicles and light aircraft. The portable antenna is only splash proof and not fully waterproof. Never

mount this antenna permanently outside.

For permanent external antenna mounting an external magnetic mount antenna is available for ground
vehicles and an external low profile "tear drop" style antenna for aircraft. For m ore inform ation about
these accessories please contact your Bendix/King dealer.

4 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

This Section of the Manual is designed to provide you with a quick reference guide into the operation
of your Bendix/King unit; taking you step by step through the most comm on functions. If more detail is
required, please refer to the appropriate Sections in this Manual. The information contained within this
Section is equally applicable to the Tracker IIIC as it is to the Skymap IIIC. W here the Tracker IIIC
operation differs, the differences are explained in italic text after each paragraph.

Introduction

Your Bendix/King unit is operated via a joystick,
a series of 5 soft keys, and a rotary ON/OFF
switch. The joystick allows movement of the
pointer in MAP mode and is used for all forms
of data entry or selection. The appropriate key
labels for a particular page are configured in
software and drawn alongside the appropriate
black key. The rotary ON/OFF switch is used
for adjusting the brightness of your screen.

Before this screen is displayed, a warning shall
be given regarding the expiry date of the
Jeppesen

®

data. This must be acknowledged

before you may continue. Please refer to

Appendix 06 for details on obtaining data updates.

Initialising Your Unit

When an antenna is attac hed and has a good all round view of the sk y, the unit will achieve a pos ition
fix within 15 minutes. Ensuring that your GPS has rough UTC, date and position information can
significantly speed up this process. To check this switch on the unit, selec t the HELP key followed by

GPS STATUS.

Altering UTC & DATE: Select UTC & DATE,

followed by ADJUST UTC. Use the joystick to
adjust the time, then press SET. Now select
ADJUST DAT E and use the j oystick to adj us t the
date, and then press SET followed by GPS

STATUS.
Altering Present Position: Select SET POSN,

and use the joystick to adjust the latitude and
longitude to your approximate position and then
press SET. Alternatively select SET POSN and
then VIEW MAP. Move the joystick on the map
to your approximate position (using the ZOOM
IN/ZOOM OUT keys where applicable). Once
there select SET POSN to change the position.

When connected to an appropriate GPS output a “Tracker” unit will self initialise.

4-2

Software Structure

Since the software is tree structured, an analogy can be drawn between the trunk of a tree and MAIN
MENU. This can be accessed after powering on the unit by pressing the HELP key. MAIN MENU has
5 main software branches, which are as follows:

•

GPS STATUS: Shows satellite signal

strength, allows UTC, Local Offset, Date
and Position to be set.

•

FLIGHT PLAN: Allows user defined

waypoints and flight plans to be
edited/created.

•

NOTEPAD: Allow access to NOTEPAD

and E6-B functions, or turns off DEMO
MODE. DEMO MODE can only be
activated in the first power on screen.

•

SET UP: Allows Setup of map, NAV, PIN

and input/output characteristics.

•

MAP: This is the primary mode of the unit.

As a rule when trying to get to a specific function in another branch of sof tware you should work your
way back down the present branch to MAIN MENU by pressing either the OK, PREV PAGE, SAVE &
EXIT or MAIN MENU key. Then select the branch of software that contains the des ired function you
wish to access. There are, short cuts allowing you to get to the primary mode, MAP mode, more
easily. GPS STATUS is replaced with DATA IN/OUT in “Tracker” units. Tracker units will

automatically be configured to accept data from external GPS/LORAN units.

Selecting Demo Mode

Demo Mode allows you to become fam iliar with
handling your unit on the ground by turning it
into a simulator. Demo Mode can only be
activated in the first title screen, available at
power on. Press DEMO MODE in the title
screen, and use the joystick to s elect the start
LAT and LONG and the ground SPEED you
wish to use. Alternatively you can press the
DATABASE key and select a data point from
the database as a start point (for more
information on achieving this please refer to
Database Selection in this Section of the
Manual). Once the desired LAT/LONG and
SPEED is entered press START DEMO.

4-3

Database Selection

Both the internal (i.e.: Jeppesen and towns)
waypoints and user defined waypoints are
stored in your unit in a series of databases.
During the normal use of your unit you will
need to select items from these databases,
whether it is to find out airport frequency
information, or select a DIRECT TO point or
when creating a flight plan. In each case the
adjacent screen will appear. Use the j oystick
to highlight the database in which the desired
item is contained and press SELECT.

The second stage in the selection process requir es you
to choose the desired item. T his is achieved by using
the joystick. Once the desired item is displayed press
ENTER to select the item. If the item required is in an
aeronautical database (i.e.: AIRPORT, VOR etc) you
may well have the ability to narrow the area of search
by selecting a two letter identify in the AREA field. For
a complete list of two letter ICAO identifiers please
refer to Appendix 02 in this Manual. If the label in the
AREA field says ALL then the search will include all
countries available in your memory cards region.

A Quick Word On DIRECT TOs And Flight
Plans

A flight plan is a series of legs interspersed with waypoints, while a DIRECT TO is a one leg flight plan.
A DIRECT TO can be performed at any time. If a DIRECT TO is perform ed when a flight plan is
active, the flight plan will be put to sleep and the displayed navigation data in MAP mode will be to the
DIRECT TO point. You will always know when a DIRECT TO is r unning becaus e the DIRECT TO k ey
will be labelled DIRECT TO OFF. Pressing this key will cancel the DIRECT TO. If a flight plan was
previously running underneath it will automatically resume.

4-4

Visual DIRECT TO And Data
Interrogation

In MAP mode use the joystick to move the
pointer to the desired location, or obtain
distance/bearing and latitude/longitude from
present position. If you have a ground speed
your Bendix/King unit will calculate the time
to reach the tip of the on screen pointer. T his
information is displayed in the PETE (or
Pointer ETE) field. If you wish to invoke the
DIRECT TO function press the DIRECT TO
key. The unit will then provide you with full
navigation information to reach this point.
Alternatively if you wish to obtain more

information on a specif ic data point, whether
it is an airport, a section of controlled air space or a beacon, move the pointer onto it and press the
MORE INFO key. Once the pointer has been activated, by pushing the joystick, it will r emain active for
30 seconds; after which tim e it will automatically reset, if not moved. Alternatively you can force a
reset by pressing RESET STICK.

DIRECT TO a Specific Latitude­And Longitude

To perform a DIRECT TO a specified
latitude/longitude press the DIRECT TO key in
MAP mode, when the joystick is not active.
Then press TEMP WPT and use the joystick
to dial in the required latitude and longitude,
followed by ENTER. The unit will then provide
you with full navigation information to reach
this point.

Manual DIRECT TO And Data
Interrogation

Provided the pointer is not active in MAP mode, pr ess
the DIRECT TO key. You will now be able to select
the item from the databas e as explained in Database
Selection in this Section of the Manual. To activate
the item as the DIRECT TO , press the SELECT key
when the desired item is displayed. To get more
information on the item press the MORE INFO key
when the desired item is displayed. If you are running
a DIRECT TO an item, you can discontinue the
navigation by pressing the DIRECT TO OFF key.

4-5

Editing/Creating A User
Waypoint Manually

From MAIN MENU select the FLIGHT
PLAN key, followed by USER WPTS.

Use the joystick to select the desired
user waypoint number or name. Then
press the EDIT key and use the joystick
to edit the NAME, LAT and LONG fields.
The entire user waypoint can be deleted
by pressing CLEAR WPT. If you only
wish to delete data in a particular field, as
opposed to the entire user waypoint,
move the cursor over the field label (i.e.
NAME, LAT, LONG) and press the
CLEAR key. To save a user waypoint
press SAVE & EXIT. Use the ABORT
key to return to MAIN MENU without

saving.

Editing/Creating A User
Waypoint Visually

From MAIN MENU select the FLIGHT
PLAN key, followed by USER WPTS.

You may then use the joystick to select a
specific user waypoint (either by number
or name). Press the VIEW MAP key and
the adjacent screen will be shown with
the previously selected user waypoint in
the centre of the screen. If the
previously selected user waypoint was
empty your last position will be
displayed. A user waypoint can then be
created as a distance and bearing from
the displayed position or as a
latitude/longitude. Press ENTER WPT

to save the user waypoint to the first
available memory location. An unwanted user waypoint can be removed by moving the pointer over it
and pressing the DELETE WPT key. If the user waypoint that you wish to delete is in a stored flight
plan the message [PRESENT IN FLIG HT PLAN] will be displayed. A second press on the DELETE

WPT key will however remove it, or you can move the joystick to cancel the delete. Use the PREV
PAGE key to return to screen entered from, saving any changes made.

Saving A User Waypoint In Flight

A user waypoint can be saved quickly in flight by pressing NAV MENU in MAP mode followed by
SAVE WPT. You will immediately be returned to MAP mode with your current position saved to the

next available user waypoint memory location.

4-6

Editing/Creating A Flight Plan
Manually

From MAIN MENU select the FLIGHT PLAN
key, followed by EDIT FPLN. Use the
joystick to select the desired flight plan
number and then press SELECT. T o insert
an item press INSERT ITEM and follow the
Database Selection process explained ear lier
in this Section of the Manual. To rem ove an
item from the flight plan move the cursor
over the item using the joystick and press
DELETE ITEM. A flight plan can be
systematically built using the INSERT ITEM
key. The flight plan can be inverted by

pressing the INVERT FPLN key. If you wish
to fly the flight plan, ensure that the flight plan arrow (shown on the side of the flight plan list) is
highlighting the leg you wish to fly, the press FLY FPLN. Alternatively use the SAVE & EXIT key to
return to screen entered from, saving any changes made.

Editing/Creating A Flight Plan
Visually

From MAIN MENU select the FLIGHT
PLAN key, followed by EDIT FPLN. Use

the joystick to select the desired flight plan
number and then press VIEW MAP. If the
selected flight plan was empty, the adjacent
screen will appear showing your last
position, if it were not, the start point of the
flight plan will be shown in the centre of the
screen. If the desired f light plan was empty
you can use the joystick to move the
pointer to the desired start waypoint and
press ADD WPT (ADD WayPoinT). This
will place an S (for Start) next to the

waypoint. Move the pointer to the next
waypoint and press ADD WPT again. This will place an E (for End) next to the waypoint. In either
case when the ADD WPT key is pressed the unit will try to attach the turning point to a displayed
waypoint. If one is not available it will create a user waypoint in the next available memory location.
To systematically create additional legs, draw a line from the waypoint marked (E), with the pointer, to
the next waypoint and press ADD WPT again. You will notice that the last point in the flight plan will
always be labelled (E). Once you have finished building the flight plan pres s PREV PAGE, to detach
the pointer from the flight plan. This key, if pressed again will return to the screen entered from,
saving any changes made.

If you wish to add a new waypoint to a flight plan which you have stopped building, whether it is at the
start, the end or the middle of the flight plan, you will need to highlight the appropriate point (i.e.: either
the start waypoint (S), the end waypoint (E) or the leg line in which you wish to add a new waypoint).
As soon as you do this, the ADD WPT or GRAB LINE key will appear. Press the ADD WPT or GRAB
LINE k ey to join the pointer back to the flight plan line and then move it to the new waypoint (NOTE:
Key 2 reverts to ADD WPT) . Once over the new waypoint press ADD WPT, otherwise press PREV
PAGE to cancel this action. Unwanted waypoints can be removed by pointing at them and pressing
the DELETE WPT key. Use the PREV PAGE key to return to the screen entered from, saving any
changes made.

Selecting A Flight Plan To Fly

From MAIN MENU select the MAP key,
followed by NAV MENU and FLIGHT
PLAN. Use the joystick to select the
desired flight plan number and then
press the SELECT key. Ensure that the
leg arrow is pointing at the initial leg that
is to be flown and press FLY FPLN.
The unit will immediately revert to map
mode with the navigation information
showing, using the pre-selected MAP
mode presentation.

Selecting A Map Mode
Navigation Presentation

When in MAP mode and navigating to a
waypoint, either with a DIRECT TO or as
part of a flight plan, the unit is in
Navigation MAP mode. The MAP
presentation can be varied from Large
Map to Large Text to a CDI (Pseudo HSI)
display. In all three modes there are a
further two options which are either T OPO
ON or TOPO OFF. In the TOPO ON
mode all classes of data can be set to a
specific colour. In the T OPO OFF mode
all cartographic data is automatically
removed and the Jeppesen NAV Data is

presented on a black background. The
presentation style can be changed at any time by pressing the NAV MENU key in MAP mode. The
joystick can then be toggled until the desired selection is shown in the MAP MODE field. T he new
selection, which will only be displayed when a DIRECT TO or flight plan is running, can be viewed by
pressing MAP.

Viewing ETAs/Skip Waypoints

When a flight plan is running the ETA to
each point in that flight plan can be viewed
by pressing the DIRECT TO key on the
map. On entry to the adjacent sc reen the
cursor highlights the waypoint in
MAGENTA that is currently being
navigated to. If ATC clear you onto END:
LAWRENCE, for example, you can use
the Direct-To waypoint function to amend
the Flight Plan quickly without having to
edit the Flight Plan. Use the joystick to
move a BLACK highlight over END:
LAWRENCE, then press DIRECT TO.

This function is not available in External
GPS Mode.

4-8

Ten Nearest Search

The ten nearest airports or beacons can be
displayed by either pressing NAV MENU or

DIRECT TO in MAP mode, followed by either
NEAR APTS (for airports) or NEAR NAVAID

(for beacons). T he desired information will be
presented dynamically as a bearing and
distance from your present position. Any
displayed item can be instantly navigated to by
pressing the DIRECT TO k ey. Alternatively the
MAP key can be used to return the user to
MAP mode.
