Simulator
The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the EKP-III
before ever taking it into the cockpit. No current position fix is required because the EKP-III
simulates position data internally. The EKP-III simulates flight in two ways: a straight flight
path or following a selected route.
The Simulator will display various altitudes during simulation mode.
Fix status displayed in the GPS page during this mode is "Simulation".
12.1 SIMULATING STRAIGHT MODE
For Straight Mode of Simulation, you enter the of Speed and Heading. The EKP-III will then
fly that speed and heading indefinitely until a change is made, i.e. you adjust either parameter.
The starting position for the Simulation is the current cursor position.
To start the simulator:
>'MENU' 1 sec. + "SIMULATOR" + 'ENTER' + "SPEED" + 'ENTER'
Using the cursor keys select the desired Speed and press 'ENTER'.
>"HEADING" + 'ENTER'
Using the cursor keys select the desired Heading and press 'ENTER'.
(Speed and Heading can be adjusted during the simulated flight.)
>"SIMULATION MODE" + 'ENTER' + 'STRAIGHT' + 'ENTER'
Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:
> "SIMULATION" + 'ENTER' + "ON" + 'ENTER'
All functions of the EKP-III will work as in normal flight except for Altitude related functions.
