Caution

The Apollo NMS (Navigation Management System) is a powerful navigation tool, but you should never rely solely on any one piece of navigation equipment. It’s important to maintain a constant awareness of the navigation picture by using all appropriate resources.

Your new NMC and peripheral sensors should be installed only by an FAA certified facility. Each installation is unique, and there are several variables and cautions that an installer must deal with for you to get the maximum benefit from your Apollo NMS.

Important Notice

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States Department of Defense which is solely responsible for the accuracy, daily operation, and maintenance of the satellite constellation. System accuracy is affected by the Department of Defense’s Selective Availability (SA) and the Dilution of Precision (DOP) attributed to poor satellite geometry.

Duetoimplementationof SelectiveAvailability bythe UnitedStates Departmentof Defense(DoD), allGPS receiversmay sufferdegradation ofposition accuracy.The DoDhas stated that95% ofthe timehorizontal accuracy willnot bedegraded morethan 100m and99.9% ofthe timeaccuracywill not be degraded more than 300 m.

Basic Concepts

The Apollo NMS (Navigation Management System) uses a variety of remote sensors to provide a broad range of information. The “heart” of the system is the NMC (Nav Management Computer). The interface network is called NAVNET sensors to determine position, course, wind, altitude, and fuel information. Some features require specific sensors. For example, Altitude Assist features requires a Fuel/Air Data Sensor, or an altitude encoder. Multiple position sensors and external instruments/annunciators may be used for redundancy. The system approach allows additional components to be added at any time.

Displays, Lights, and Controls

Power Switch

A rotary switch is located on the front panel near the left side of the 2101 NMC. A pullswitch is located on theleft side of the 2001NMC.

LED Display

A photocell automatically adjusts the brightness of the LED (Light Emitting Diode) display. The display consists of 3 lines with 16 characters each.

Knobs

The Large knob has two functions. First, it is used to scroll through top-level displays in each mode. Second, when part of the display is flashing (i.e., editing is on), the Large knob is used to choose which character or characters on the display will flash.

Apollo NMS

Displays, Lights, and Controls (continued)

The Small, inner knob has two functions. First, it is used to scroll through displays that pertain to the top-level displays; that is, when the diamond corner of a display. Second, when editing the display, a character (or series of characters), will flash. The Small, inner knob is then used to change the flashing character(s) to the desired character(s).

Action Buttons

u appears in the lower right

SEL

INFO

ENT

(Select) The SEL button is used to activate editing. Editing is active whenever part of the display is flashing. With some features, editing is automatically activated without pressing SEL.

(Information) The INFO button accesses supplementary information about the displayed waypoint. It is also used to access flight plan comments that you enter. Pressing this button makes the current mode light flash, indicating you are looking at waypoint or flight plan information. Pressing this button again exits the INFO function.

(Enter) The ENT button enters and saves the information flashing on the display. If ENT is not pressed, any changes made are not saved.

(Direct-To) The DIRECT-TO button is used to define a direct course from the present position to any waypoint. The Waypoint Retriever, used to find waypoints in the database, is automatically activated after pressing this button.

Pressing the DIRECT-TO button twice is used to enter a desired course to or from the active waypoint. This action automatically suspends waypoint sequencing.

Apollo NMS

Mode Buttons

Pressing a Mode button places the NMC (Nav Management Computer) into that mode. Each mode is used to perform certain types of functions. The NMC is always in one of the six modes, signified by the lighted mode annunciator.

EMG (Emergency) Mode

EMG

EMG mode is used to find the nearest waypoints and nearest SUAs (Special Use Airspace areas) to your present position, or to find the closest waypoints to a selected waypoint. Search parameters, such as runway length, may be set so the NMC (Nav Management Computer) only displays airports and User waypoints that are suitable for your aircraft.

MSG (Message) Mode

MSG

MSG mode is used to display messages. The NMC (Nav Management Computer) alerts you to important conditions, such as arrival at a waypoint, or degraded position accuracy. The MSG light flashes when a new message condition occurs, and is lit solid if any messages you have already viewed remain.

NAV (Navigation) Mode

NAV

NAV mode is used to display navigation information, such as the bearing, distance, and ETE (Estimated Time En route) to the To waypoint. NAV mode may also provide Altitude Assist features, Parallel Track, Current Position Sensor information, a Countdown Timer, and From, To, Next waypoint access.

DB (Database) Mode

DB mode is used to access waypoints stored on a datacard, and to create, store, and edit up to 200 User waypoints.

Apollo NMS

Modes (continued)

FPL (Flight Plan) Mode

FPL

FPL mode is used to create, store, view, and edit up to 29 flight plans of up to 20 legs each and to edit the Active flight plan. It can also provide advance information about ETE, ETA, Fuel Usage, and other important flight statistics. An approach is a set of waypoints inserted into the active flight plan.

SYS (System) Mode

SYS

SYS mode is used to make certain settings and adjustments to the system, such as adjusting the Time and Date, Fuel Units, and Barometric Units. (Some settings, including Time and Date, may also be adjusted during the start-up sequence). SYS mode also provides status information for position and other sensors.

Features

Below is a brief explanation of the features available with the Apollo NMS.

Direct-To Flights: The NMS can provide course guidance from your location directly to any waypoint in any database.

Data cards: Data cards contain listings of public use Airports, VORs, NDBs, INTs (intersections), airspaces, non-precision approaches, MSA, MESA, and magnetic variation information in the datacard coverage area. The combined coverage area for all of the data cards is world-wide.

Waypoint Information: Each database contains supplementary information about every waypoint. For example, ATCfrequencies and available runways may be displayed for airports. Approaches are also stored on the data cards. In addition, bearing and distance from the present position to any waypoint is also available.

Apollo NMS

Features (continued)

Nearest Waypoint (Emergency) Search: The NMS finds the 20 nearest

waypoints of each type. The pilot can choose any of these waypoints and set a course with the Direct-To feature. The NMC (Nav Management Computer) can be set to display only those Airports and User waypoints which meet your runway length and surface requirements. The NMC can also search for the 20 nearest waypoints around any waypoint, not just your present position.

Messages: The NMC (Nav Management Computer) automatically alerts you of conditions which may require your attention, such as nearing a Special Use airspace. Messages clear automatically, either after they have been viewed, or when the condition clears.

Navigation Information: The NMC (Nav Management Computer) constantly updates a wide variety of navigation information. With the proper sensors installed, this information includes everything from true airspeed to magnetic wind direction. Some information is available only with a specific sensor installed.

Flight Plans: The NMC (Nav Management Computer) allows you to store up to 30 flight plans of up to 20 legs each. These plans may be viewed, activated, reversed, interrupted, edited, and deleted while en route or on the ground. One of these flight plans is the Active flight plan. From the first time a course is entered into the new unit, there is always an Active flight plan. When any of the remaining 29 flight plans is activated, the plan is copied over the current Active flight plan, and the previous Active flight plan is deleted. Any changes to the Active flight plan do not affect any of the other stored flight plans. Approaches, when loaded, are placed at the end of the active flight plan, replacing the destination airport.

System Customizing: The NMC (Nav Management Computer) uses factory (default) settings that may be changed. For example, most of the Nav displays may be changed to display the specific navigation information you desire.

Additional Features: Certain additional features, such as Altitude Assist, True Airspeed, and Outside Air Temperature, may be available depending on what specific components are installed.

Apollo NMS

Operating Logic

Use of the Waypoint Retriever is fundamental to operating the NMS. The Waypoint Retriever is used to display specific waypoints, and is discussed in detail in Operations, Retrieving a Waypoint.

The Waypoint Retriever is activated automatically when you are using a feature that requires you to display a waypoint. For example, when using the Direct-To feature, which allows you to navigate directly to any waypoint in any database from your present position, pressing the DIRECT-TO button activates the Waypoint Retriever. In effect, pressing DIRECT-TO “tells” the system you want to navigate directly to some specific location.

The system responds to your command by activating the Waypoint Retriever. This is the system’s way of asking, “where do you want to navigate to?” A display, similar to the one below, appears. In this manual, black characters, such as the “A” in the display below, indicate the item is flashing, and editing is activated.

AIRPORT AAP HOUSTON CITY TX USA

Whenever something on the display is flashing, it may be changed by turning the Small knob. To make something else on the display flash, turn the Large knob. The display shows the waypoint identifier and the database containing the waypoint. In this example, the waypoint AAP, located in the city Houston, Texas USA, is an Airport— i.e. is contained in the Airport database. If the location you want to fly to is also an airport, it is not necessary for you to change the waypoint type; simply turn the Small knob to display first character in the waypoint identifier, then turn the Large knob one increment clockwise to make the next character flash. Use the knobs to choose the remaining characters in the identifier, until the desired waypoint is displayed.

AIRPORT CBK COLBY CITY KS USA

Apollo NMS

Operating Logic (continued)

If you wanted to fly to a different waypoint type, such as a VOR, you would begin by changing the type. Turn the Large knob until the waypoint type flashes.

AIRPORT AAP HOUSTON CITY TX USA

Select a different waypoint type by turning the Small knob.

VOR ABA ARUBA FACIL ANTILL

Turning the Large knob counter-clockwise causes the identifier to again flash.

VOR ABA ARUBA FACIL ANTILL

Use the knobs tochoose theremaining characters in the identifier,until the desired waypoint is displayed.

VOR CCR CONCORD FACIL CA USA

The last step isto pressthe ENT button. As faras the system memory is concerned, nothing has changed until ENT is pressed. If you did not want to navigate to the displayed waypoint, you would simply press any mode button. Any time you want to abort a procedure, simply press a mode button. The Waypoint Retriever can also be used to look up waypoints using the city or facility name. Refer to Database Mode, Retrieving a Waypoint for full details.

Apollo NMS

First Flight

WARNING

Before routinely using the Apollo NMS (Nav Management System) in the air, you should be quite familiar with its operation. Federal Aviation Regulations require pilots to practice SEE AND AVOID. It is therefore critical you do NOT study this manual while flying. It is recommended your first flight be made during good weather in a low traffic area.It is important you understand at least the First Flight section before you fly. You may wish to practice at home with the built-in simulator.

Power-Up

After the Nav Management Computer (NMC) is switched on, it initializes its internal circuits. During this approximately 2 second period, the display will remain blank. Following initialization, a power-up sequence begins. After the sequence, the display below appears. If the NMC (Nav Management Computer) has been removed from the panel and used in simulator mode or the unit has moved several hundred mile since the last time it was powered up, your present position must be entered during the power-up sequence. See Operations, Power-Up Sequence.

Operations Power-Up Sequence

Power-Up Sequence

The power-up sequence is displayed every time the Apollo NMS is turned on. The power-up sequence begins after the NMC completes an approximately 2 second initialization of internal circuits. Following initialization, the sequence will show the owner’s name, the database version, the software version, present position, request for altimeter correction factor, and the time/date. It also allows entry of a new time/date and position during the sequence. The NMC will automatically update the time from GPS satellite information at power-up. If a valid datacard is not inserted, you will manually enter the magnetic variation during the power-up sequence for the area you will be flying in.In addition,the NMC displays start-up self-testpages, self-test results, and asks if you want to continue with the last used flight plan.

To acquire a position the systemmust “know” its approximate location and, if using aGPS sensor, the time (UTCCoordinated Universal Time formerly called Greenwich Mean Time).

Hint

The UTC and approximate positionshould beentered by the installer; in which case, no action is normally required of you during the power-up sequence. As long as the system is functioning when you fly, the NMS will always “know” its position the next time it is powered up; however, if the NMC has been removed from the panel for use in simulator mode, your present position must be entered during power-up after the unit is reinstalled in the aircraft.
