Apollo 360 Map Display Introduction to the Apollo 360

Section 1 IntroductiontotheApollo360MapDisplay

This section introduces you to the Apollo 360 and explains howtouseandswitchbetweentheunit’soperatingfunctions. A description of information that shows on the display when you use each function is included at the back of this section. Section 2 builds on the introductory information presented here as you switch on and begin using the Apollo 360.

The Operating Functions

Remember that the Apollo 360 Map is not

a primary navigation instrument. It works in conjunctionwith a GPSor Loran that can provide position, bearing, flight plan, and other useful information. The Apollo 360 Map is a supplemental navigation display. The quality of the position information it displaysis dependent on the navigationdevice providing that information. Do not

attempt to conduct an approachbasedontheinformationfromtheApollo360Map. Use a navigation device authorized for flying approaches to navigate this phase of flight.

There are five main operating functions, each performing a different and unique task while you navigate. Each function also provides one or more screens of information on the display. At leastone of these functions isalways in use when the unit is on. The functions operate independently of one another, so you can switch between them.

The five operating functions are:

Navigation (always active)

Goto nearest

Introduction to the Apollo 360 Apollo 360 Map Display

As you navigate a course with the Apollo 360, you will typically use several of these operating functions. During the trip, you will use the navigation function most of the time to monitor your progress. To most effectively use the Apollo 360, become well acquainted with each operating function.

Function

Keys

Each of the operating functions is easily accessible from the front panel by using the function keys. Remember, the navigation function is always active -pressing a key is not necessary to enable it.

Navigation

Function This function starts automatically when the unit is

switched on and stays active. You will use this function most often while flying. The navigation function provides information about:

Your current position and navigation progress to a destination

Your current route, and legs within your current route

Events or conditions important to trip navigation

Navigationfunction screens show onthedisplaywhenever other functions are not in use.

Function

Use this function to access a menu of options that modify the way navigation information shows on the display. In this way, you may customize the Apollo 360 to best suit your navigation display requirements. The menu function alsocontrols many otherimportantwaysthe unit operates.

Press this key once for a list of waypoints nearest to your present position. This function allows you to quickly and easily obtain the information that you need to create or change a flight plan while navigating.

Use the waypoint function to create your own waypoints and store them in the Apollo 360’s memory. You can create up to 2,000 of your own waypoints, each with a name you choose. You can create waypoints based upon your present position, or you can enter latitude and longitude coordinates (usually abbreviated lat/lon) to define the waypoint location.

Use this function toget information aboutany waypoint in the Apollo 360’s built-in database, including those you have created and stored. Available information includes:

Waypoint identifier and type (airport, VOR, NDB, or intersection)

Bearing and distance to thewaypoint from your current position

Lat/lon coordinates of waypoint

For airports, the elevation, fuel availability and type, radio communication frequencies, runway details, runway map diagram, and more

Care and

Cleaning

Instructions

The display shows information for each operating function. This information typically includes navigation progress, waypoint information, and menu options and selections. Display contrast and the display backlight are adjustable to best suit viewing conditions in the cockpit. See “Screen Controls” inSection 4 fordetails on adjusting the screen.

Your new Apollo 360 Map has a space-age anti-glare film thathasbeenappliedtothedisplay screen. This is the same filmthatisusedontheNASA Space Shuttle windows. The surface of the film has a hard coating that is scratch resistant. Despite this coating, extreme care must be taken when cleaning the display screen. To remove stains, smudges, fingerprints, and so forth, we recommend these cleaning methods (if the first method fails to remove the problem, try the next method):

Wipe with a clean, dry, non-abrasive fabric (for example, cotton or Handi-wipes)

Blow on the area to condense moisture on the display and then wipe the area with the clean fabric

Moistena clean fabric with asmall amountofwater and wipe the display area

Apply a small amount of glass cleaner (without ammonia) to the fabric and wipe the area

Applyasmall amount of isopropyl alcohol and wipethe area (this is the last resort)

Note:

Use a clean fabric with each cleaning method to avoid other contaminates.
