area(s) of airspace queried is highlighted.
>'ENT' + "AIRSPACE INFO" + 'ENT'
Like Automatic Info the window is opened in the top or bottom part of the screen. One window
displays all airspace objects. Displayed information is the following: Name of air-space; type of
airspace; altitude range; tower frequency for airport traffic areas or main airport frequency for Class
B and Class C areas.
3.4.2 full Information
Full Info window displays attribute information for the object under the cursor/position.
>'ENT' + "FULL INFO" + 'ENT'
Found objects are presented using a tree structure. Using the cursor key highlight the object desired
and press 'ENT' for further details.
3.4.3 Project radial
The project radial feature creates a line at a given bearing and distance from a navaid or user
waypoint. If no object is present, an error message stating "Object not found" will appear on the
screen. The Geopilot II Plus will store 10 radials. To project a radial, first select the object with the
cursor, then:
>'ENT' + "PROJECT RADIAL" + 'ENT'
Using the cursor key enter the Bearing and press 'ENT'. The Distance box is now active; using the
cursor key enter the Distance for the line to extend and press 'ENT'. To remove a radial, select the
object icon or the radial line with the cursor, then:
>'ENT' + "PROJECT RADIAL" + 'ENT'
A Warning message appears asking if you would like to remove the radial. Press 'ENT' to confirm or
'ESC' to exit. To remove all radials stored in the Geopilot II Plus (see also Par. 14.9):
>'MENU' 1 sec. + "SYSTEM SETUP" + 'ENT' + "CLEAR ALL RADIALS" + 'ENT'
3.4.4 A - b function
The A-B Function allows you to calculate distance and bearing between two specified points ("A"
and "B"). The distance and bearing will appear in the A-B data field box at the top of the screen.
(This must be selected for display; see Data Window, Par. 3.2). To measure two points:
>Place the cursor at first position "A" + 'ENT' + "A-B FUNCTION" + 'ENT'
>Place the cursor at second position "B" + 'ENT' + "A-B FUNCTION" + 'ENT'
You can also measure distance from the current fix position using the A-B feature. From Home or
Auto Zoom mode:
>'ENT' + "A-B FUNCTION" + 'ENT'
This will place "A" at the current fix position, then:
>Place the cursor at second position "B" + 'ENT' + "A-B FUNCTION" + 'ENT'
