12 SIMULAtor

The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the GEOPILOT

before ever taking it into the cockpit. No current position fix is required because the GEOPILOT

simulates position data internally. The GEOPILOT 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 GEOPILOT 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" + 'ENT' + "SPEED" + 'ENT'

Using the cursor key select the desired Speed and press 'ENT'.

> "HEADING" + 'ENT'

Using the cursor key select the desired Heading and press 'ENT'.

> "ALTITUDE" + 'ENT'

Using the cursor key select the desired Altitude and press 'ENT'. (Speed , Heading and Altitude can

be adjusted during the simulated flight.)

>"SIMULATION MODE" + 'ENT' + 'STRAIGHT' + 'ENT'

Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:

> "SIMULATION" + 'ENT' + "ON" + 'ENT'

All functions of the GEOPILOT will work as in normal flight except for Altitude related functions.

To Simulate the flight of an existing Flight Plan, be sure the flight is the "Viewed" Flight Plan (see

Par. 6.3) Then enter the Simulator Menu and select the parameters of "Speed" and "Flight Plan

Mode".

>'MENU' 1 sec. + "SIMULATOR" + 'ENT' + "SPEED" + 'ENT'

Using the cursor key select the desired Speed and press 'ENT'. Speed can be adjusted during the

simulated flight.

>"SIMULATION MODE" + 'ENT' + 'ROUTE' + 'ENT'

Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:

>"SIMULATION" + 'ENT' + "ON" + 'ENT'

The simulated aircraft position will now fly the active Flight Plan from the first Waypoint.
