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:

n

Navigation (always active)

n

Menu

n

Goto nearest

n

New waypoint

n

Waypoint information

P/N 560-0119-00 1-1

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:

n

Your current position and navigation progress to a
destination

n

Your current route, and legs within your current route

n

Events or conditions important to trip navigation

Navigationfunction screens show onthedisplaywhenever
other functions are not in use.

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:

n

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

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):

n

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

n

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

n

Moistena clean fabric with asmall amountofwater and
wipe the display area

n

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

n

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.

The navigation display function is always active. When
you use other functions, the navigation display function
continues to run “in the background” calculating your
present position, navigating your multiple leg trip (if
active), and alerting you to events or conditions important
to the navigation process. When you finish using other
functions, the unit automatically returns to the navigation

six screens. Each screen contains unique information
useful to the navigation effort.

Navigating a Trip Apollo 360 Map Display

The LARGE knob “scrolls” or pages forward or backward
through the screens in the order shown in Section 1. After
you become more familiar with each screen, you may
developa preference for some. This sectiondescribes each
screen.

Current

Messages

Screen

The Apollo 360 helps you navigate by informing you of
important events or conditions while you fly. When an
important event or condition occurs, an alert message
shows on the display to inform you. (Alerts marked with
the * can be controlled by menu options described in
Section 4.) Alerts may show on the display anytime the
unit is operating to alert you of the following conditions:

Airspace penetration*

Arrival at a destination*

Loss of position fix

Low memory back-up battery

3-2 P/N 560-0119-00

When you see one of these alerts on the display, follow the
instruction shown to clear it. Clearing the alert removes it
from the display. The screen shown before the alert
appeared returns to the display.

Thecurrent messages screen serves as areview ofany alerts
presentedthis way during the trip. Alert messagesthat show
on the screen must be valid at the time you check them or
they will not show as a current message. Press ENT, as
shown on the current message screen, to view other current
messages (if available).

Present

Position

Screen

This screen shows the lat/long coordinates of your present
position, desired track, and any course deviation from
desired track.

When you fly, this screen can be valuable to check your
position against a chart with close precision.

Navigating a Trip Apollo 360 Map Display

Coursedeviation shows in the rectangularCourseDeviation
Indicator (CDI) at the bottom of the display. The airplane
symbolmoves over the graduated CDI to show your relative
distance left or right of desired track. The CDI display
correlateswith the sending navigation deviceCDI output.If
the sending device changes CDI scale it should drive the
CDI “Needle” on the Apollo 360 Map to match the relative
deflection amount to it’s own CDI display.

Screen

The bearing/rang/ground speed screen, displays range,
estimated time enroute(ETE), and ground speed (GS).Since
this screen is viewable by turningthe LARGE knobonly one
detent clockwise from the present position screen, you will
likely find it convenient to switch back and forth between
these two screens often to check your navigation progress.

One of the most attractive features of the Apollo 360 is its
ability to show your navigation progress graphically
against a “moving map” of waypoints. Your present
positionis indicated by the airplanesymbol nearthe center
of the display.

Using the moving map screen, you can easily track your
navigation progress as the aircraft travels over or near
waypoints beneath you. The moving map/nav window
screenshows this information in the boxat theright sideof
the display:

The route screen shows either two or four waypoints
(depending on the selected screen) of the current route, as
well as the desired track and distance between the
displayed waypoints. The 1-Leg screen uses larger
characters for easier viewing. The 3-Leg screen provides
more information on a single display.

TheApollo360willnot be able to match all waypoints that
it receives from the host device with those in it’s internal
database. The unmatched waypoints are classified as
“Remote” waypoints and identified by the designator
“REMO” on the 1-Leg screen. On the 3-Leg screen, these
waypoints are identified by an “R” designation.

Searching

for

Nearest

Waypoints

An important feature of the Apollo 360 is its ability to
locate waypoints closest to your position as you fly.
Should you have to land the aircraft quickly, you can use
this feature to locate a nearby waypoint and quickly
navigate to it.

While navigating, press the GOTO/NRST key to activate
the nearest function and search for waypoints closest to
your present position.

The nearest function screen shows up to 30 nearest
waypoints in order of distance from your present position.
The waypoint type, bearing to the waypoint, and range to
the waypoint also shows.

Apollo 360 Map Display The Waypoint Database

Section 5
The Waypoint Database

Database

Structure

The Apollo 360 provides an extensive built-in database of
waypoint information to aid the navigator.

Waypoints in the database aredivided into 6 categories by
type. This category structure allows you to more easily
search for waypoint information, search for nearest
waypoints, or display waypoints on moving map screens.
The database filters waypoints by these types whenever
you use it, controlling, organizing, and speeding the
delivery of information.

The waypoint types are:

n

Airports (ARPTs)

n

Non-directional beacons (NDBs)

n

Very high frequency omniranges (VORs)

n

Enroute intersections (INTs)

n

User created (USERs)

n

Remote waypoints (REMOs)

The sixth type is Remote (REMO) waypoints. The Apollo
360 will attempt to match received route information with
it’s internal database. It does this by looking for an exact
match with the received identifier and a position match
within 1/100th of a minute of latitude and longitude.

If no match is found,the received identifier and it’s lat/lon
position are stored as a remote waypoint type in the 360
route list.
